Oh I buy them all over -- Sainsburys, Morrisons, M&S, Tesco -- whatever's handy & depending on what we need when.

What is your favorite flower?

No real favorite, not that into flowers, I like any though as long as I don't have to weed them  ;)

Tomorrow going to a bridal shower, then to dinner with my dad and step mom and step sister.  Sunday, just going to Mass then Skyping with my sweetheart on the pc.  Oh - and grocery shopping.

Did you have more than three bride's maids at your wedding?

Best gift for someone. Probably would be a cruise for my ex.


Never won any prizes in contests? If so what were they?

I won a trip to Koln to see Bizzarrefest, a trip to Milan to see Depeche Mode, a trip to Ft. Lauderdale to see the Smashing Pumpkins, a trip to Vegas to see the opening date of U2's Pop tour, a trip to Hawaii and LOADS of tickets to local concerts and events. The most recent win was last week I won tix to see Jeremy Irons in Camelot at the Hollywood Bowl tomorrow, but I gave them to a friend. It would be good if my ticket luck would extend itself to the lottery. ;)

Did you go to summer camp as a kid? Love it/hate it? Stories?

Yes - I loved summer camp!  I liked going anywhere away from home, traveling, etc.  I went to 2-wk Girl Scouts camp several summers, and to church camp -- funny 'cause church camp was always the wildest, kids going crazy, etc.  The worst thing was in Girl Scouts camp when late at night my tent mates & I were teasing each other about there being a mouse running around in the tent (can't remember if there really was one), and one of my tent mates leaped onto my bed & promptly peed all over it. :-\\\\

It's really a sappy song in some people's eyes, but from the first time I heard Alan Jackson sing Where Were You When The World Stopped Turning it hit a nerve. It's about 9/11 and still gets me if I catch it when flipping radio stations. Another one is a hymn The Old Rugged Cross because it was my Grandma's favorite song  :\\\'(

Curling up in my jammies with a huge cup of tea and a book.  It's better if there's a cat or two to keep my feet warm.  :)

Do you have siblings?  If so, are you oldest, youngest, middle...?
