No, nothing with how the day went.  If I could have a do-over, I'd have picked a different maid of honour - she was really DH's friend, not so much mine.  :-X  Two of my dearest friends, and two family members were 'there' for me - and I wished I'd have picked one of them instead to be my witness.

What will you miss about the UK when you leave it (or adopt the question to your circumstances if different)?

Hmm, good fish and chips?  I can't really say to that as I have just moved here and didn't live in the US either.  I always miss food though, no matter where I have been!  :)

What is one thing you look forward to living in/moving to the UK?

Before I moved here I was really looking forward to not having a car and using public transportation. Um...I'd like my car back now please!  :P Don't get me wrong, I would still use PT, but I'd at least like the option of driving somewhere!

Do you find yourself eating something more frequently in the UK than you did in the US (or vice versa)? For example, I think I eat sausages WAY more than I ever did in the US. My mom even made a comment about it!

I drink tons more tea (sounds stereotypical but it's true!), and eat curries (hardly ever ate Indian food back in the US).

I eat less baked goods and sweets (almost every day I used to get muffins, scones, cookies, etc from the vegan bakery that was part of my old job back in the US).

Do you gain weight easily?  Lose weight easily?  Or tend to stay around the same no matter what you do?

I don't really know.  I would say that I gain it easily but I also tend to lose it easily?  Does that make sense?  I am much more cautious about what I put in my mouth since I have lost a good bit of weight though!

Do you allow yourself a set number of treats a week or just eat them whenever you feel like?

It does make sense.  If you are gaining and / or losing within 5 pounds or so, I count that as "staying the same".  I am very similar to you in that respect.

These days I eat treats whenever I feel like it, but if I'm remaining balanced (as far as sugar cravings go and also stress levels, etc.) it usually is a sane amount.  Maybe a treat a day, maybe two, then no treats for a couple days, etc depending on my mood.

Do you prefer your men (or women) thinner than average, heavier than average, or you don't care either way?

No, I am more concerned about a person's character.

Have you ever been caught 'recycling' a gift?

In Maine we have 2ft of snow everywhere that hasn't been plowed, and a sheet of ice on every surface that doesn't have a constant stream of traffic. Another day or two of snow wouldn't make much of a difference at this point. :-\\\\

What is your favorite time of day and why?

My least favorite time of day is those few minutes where I'm convincing myself to get out of my nice warm bed and begin the day. I'm alright once I get going, but the inertia in the morning nearly does me in every day!


Do you shower in the morning or in the evening?

Every morning.

Do you always shower after you exercise?

Yes, I always feel like I smell like a pool, though.

Are you now wearing genuine 1980s clothes again now that 1980s fashions seem to have returned?

No...1) I didn't know they were back in fashion (some girl I am!) and 2) I wouldn't fit in them as I was only 7 in 1989...:)

Do you read fashion magazines faithfully?
