Ask me anything. I'll probably even answer honestly. Or at least interestingly.

      Barring a couple of trips for funerals, my happiest memories from getting off the plane after the UK-US trip, and seeing my mom and sister (and sometimes other family) waiting on the other side of the security doors. A close second is picking up family from Heathrow or Gatwick.

      At any given moment, and for more years than I can remember, my favourite song is "Wish You Were Here" by Pink Floyd.

      omg I love graham crackers. Esp the Honey Maid cinnamon grahams. We have to ration them. Seriously. Don't get them in the UK, so I'm dependent on very kind friends and if I have suitcase space.
      So my answer is slowly. Although my sister put me onto using leftover buttercream and plain grahams to make "sandwiches" and then freezing them, which is sublime.

      These things always shift with moods and priorities, but right now it's a pin. A small plastic "egg carton" filled with dyed "eggs". My grandma wore it every Easter season for as long as I can remember, and she passed away recently, so it's super special.
      That said, I'm not sure it's something I'll actually ever wear, although I'm sure she'd want me to. Perhaps this year, and afterwards it will get incorporated into our Easter decorations somehow.

      Urgh... there are so many moments in my life I'd like to relive (or actually re-do!). I'd really like to relive my wedding day, bc I genuinely don't remember much of it (stress and no sleep, promise). But that's a long "moment". I'm going with the moment I heard my daughter cry the first time, as it was such an "Oh! She's here! Already!"

      I really like patterned paper. So much so I'm running out of places to keep it. But more than anything else I'll start with a plain, neutral background, and then starting pulling out the PP to rip, distress, punch, and otherwise mutilate. Repeat process as needed.

      Having a massage. That's the most awesomely decadent thing I can think of. Although diving face first into a mixing bowl of Ben & Jerry's is right up there, too.

      AAAUGHH! As a scrapper, the paper has to stay. But I have a feeling there's a lot of plastic in my laptop, and I'd be lost without that too! And my travel mug. What a sadistic question! LOL

      Mr. Owl says 3. I say I don't know, bc I always just tuck 'em to the side of my cheek and suck on them. Have you ever actually tried to eat a lollipop by just licking it? You'd die of boredom!

      I would wish that my grandparents were still alive. I'm being a total bummer here, but they were killed 3 mos ago in a car accident, and today would be my grandfather's 82nd bday. I wish every day that there were still alive.

      I'm really tempted to say the Mad Hatter, if I have to choose from a book.
      TV- hmmm... CJ Cregg from West Wing.
      Movies... Marge Gunderson from Fargo. Really.

      Tinkersdamn comes from my mom, although whether she remembers that is questionable. The most concise story is that I moved back home bc of mono, and had dreds at the time (which made me resemble Sideshow Bob, unfortunately). She hated them. So, "I don't give a tinker's damn, if you're going to live here you're cutting those things off!"

      And, smarty, I made an entire 6x6 album over Valentine's weekend. In the same weekend I made a simple album of a trip to a NT property. :P

      One of my kids. Seriously. It's not like I'm not there for them, it's that I end up running around and making sure the food is ready/cake and decorations are awesome/photos get taken and so I never really enjoy the day. So I'd like to be one of the invited people who get to show up and enjoy.

      I think it was meant to be Elizabeth... but I was already saddled with Landenberger, and that's really enough to learn when you're small.
