What would you "like to know" about the next poster....

 a black velvet long sleeved, low neck, floor length dress - where i ever thought i would wear a creation like that is beyond me, but it was so beautiful i had to have it - i just love to touch it!

What is the strangest thing you have ever seen anyone wear in public?

My absolute favorite was at my husband's company holiday party about five years ago - a couple came dressed head-to-toe in black vinyl!  They were a couple in (I'm guessing) their 50s and he was in a tuxedo, she was in a floor length gown with a HUGE full skirt.  It was very unexpected for an affair which most people attend in relatively casual clothes.


Do you own a garter belt?

used to, want to get one again

do you prefer tailored pants or skirts

I wear skirts about 90% of the time.



What is the #1 thing on your Christmas wish list?

What is the #1 thing on your Christmas wish list?

Umm.. my man naked under my Christmas tree when I wake on Christmas morning!  Ok, Ok, if I can't have that one a digital camera or a nice, fluffy, warm duvet would be good... but not nearly as nice!

What is your favorite family tradition?

We don't have one yet but we are going to start them for Courtney.

Are you shopping the day after Christmas for the sales?

No way I am going anywhere near a store the day after Christmas! Yuck!! 


What is your favorite comfort food that you feel a bit guilty about eating?

Ben & Jerrys Phish food...so full of calories..but ooooooo so good

Who are u having the most trouble shopping for?

A co-worker. We draw names for a Secret Pal gift exchange. I hate it, I hate spending money on someone I don't know very well and have no clue what to buy for!! So most likey they won't like what they get anyways. Hate to be Scrooge but I'd prefer not to do the exchange at all.


Who do you think has taught you the most in life so far?

my father, taught me so much about life, love, loyalty, committment, faith, and standing up for what is right

do you like long hair on yourself?

Yes - then when it's long I want it short again 

Taking a thought from another thread.....

If you lost a loved one to a horrible crime, and had the opportunity to see the convicted killer executed, would you be a witness?

I would do everything in my power to try & make sure that the killer wasn't executed.  Honestly, I don't know if I could watch or not.  (Dead Man Walking was an excellent film on this subject, btw)

What do you want to be doing in ten years?

happily married in the UK and living life as it happens

in the same vein,  what do you want most out of life?

Health and happiness.  For everyone I love and hold dear.
