10 Things...
1. Big pet peeve..men who wear black socks with shorts and sandals...eeeew (rethink the wardrobe)...
2. Cherry koolaid...I crave it
3. I watch "Survivor" every week and I have been known to watch "The Bachelor" but only occasionally...(what are those woman thinking?)
4. I love poetry..my favorite poets : William Butler Yeats and Sarah Teasdale my favorite poems by these two poets : "The Song of the Wandering Aengus" William Butler Yeats and "Longing" by Sarah Teasdale...
5. I adore baby toes...
6. I love the end of the day when the sun is low and the sky is a million shades of blues and pinks and everything is perfectly green and glowing...
7. I only like the very first Dorito out of the bag...the rest are up for grabs...
8. Cookies...love them only when they are warm and fresh out of the oven or still cookie dough...
9. I'm scared of our basement...100 years of dirt floor and crawling things...
10. I am a horrible driver...there I said it..its true I am easily distracted and I drive way too fast...
I'm keeping this idea (10 Things) because although I only had a few of you actually tell me 10 things about yourselves I did have a few people email me and ask me to keep it up so it stays and I would still love to read a few things about all of you...so please please dig deep and find a few things you feel like admitting...or just eavesdrop on mine...either way its all good...

I am determined to find that movie.."A Thousand Clowns" you recommended it to me a while ago and I am having a little trouble finding it around our town...my next step is the internet. By the way I think it is great that you shared all of that stuff and especially the clue to your identity although I think it is far better to remain anonymous,it has its benefits...

Anna:
I love your bonus "thing" it is too funny that your guy had to show you how to work that sewing machine he will forever be known to me as Mr.Suzy Homemaker!!I'll even give hime one of my old apron's the one with all the ruffles!!
Blondie:
Sar is a huge fan of Fairies too she loves everything that has to do with them. Of course her favorite fairy of all time is Tinkerbell...she likes vintage Tinkerbell the best...all of the old Disney Tinkerbell things.
LUC,
A few books that may interest SAR:
Fairytopia:A Flower Fairies Journal
and Good Faeries,Bad Faeries By:Brian Froud. Both of the books have gorgeous pics in them and stories that explain the mythology behind them. Also, if she ever is on the internet, she may want to check out Amybrownart.com as she is a wonderful artist and most of her prints sell for a reasonable price (an 8x10 for $15.00) I do love Tinkerbell too and have a few things of her. Hope all is well with you and yours today. Just thought these things may interest her.
Take care
Blondie
Oh no, not "chocolate cream eggs," but rather chocolate egg creams, a concoction comprising chocolate syrup, a little milk and seltzer water indigenous to New York City, which by the way, has the highest consumption of Mallomars per capita in the nation. Regarding "A Thousand Clowns," it's a very tough find. You can find the VHS tape on Amazon probably, and the novella/play in paperback. I liberated my copy some years ago from the MGM library.
Refugee from Reason..
Oooops I messed that up...I must say Chocolate egg cremes does sound scrumptious I will have to try them as well as all of the other things about New York that you said we should see (on your blog), if Kruze and I ever get to visit New York...
Lucy Kruze:
Though urban legend has it that egg creams were born in Brooklyn, I prefer to think of Leon's as the birthplace. That said, you can make 'em at home. Fox's U-Bet Chocolate Syrup is a must: http://www.foxs-syrups.com/egg_cream.html. As your pallate hasn't been "egg cream educated," club soda can be substituted for true bottled seltzer (though Leon's makes its own seltzer from NY tap water.
Cool blog, interesting information... Keep it UP » »
