Blue Like Hair

(I decided I liked this picture better... of course taken in the car visor mirror. But you can see a little on my left side and the bit peeking through on my right.)

I'm it again, tagged by Sky.

What Was I Doing 10 Years Ago?

Actually 10 years ago today I was in Paris, France. That's me, on a boat, on the Seine. I hadn't yet met my husband (would just a few months after coming home). We'd meet, fall in love, and be married, honeymooning in Paris the very next year.

5 Things On My To-Do List Today:

Chop some celery
Work on my birth plan
Top Secret Father's Day Mission
Probably finish the book I can't put down (see below)
Write a couple posts for Mama Speaks

 Snacks I Enjoy:

Celery. Lots of celery. Also the organic raspberries I got on sale the other day were absolutely deeeee-vine. Could live off celery and raspberries, methinks.

Things I Would Do If I Were A Billionaire:

Use my wealth in a way that would continue to help people over time and buy a home big enough to fit all our children and their families when they get older, so that everyone would have their own room when they come to stay with us for holidays (like in the Family Stone.) And I'd like it to have a big front porch with a swing.

Places I Have Lived:

Northwest Indiana and Chicago, Illinois

I tag the following, if they want to play along...

Lemons To Lemonade
Seeking Sanity
One Mom's World
Dandelion Dayz

And so Jen asked me to play along with this book meme last week- I just started my summer reading list and would LOVE for you to leave your book suggestions in the comments.

Pick up the nearest book.

A Wild Ride Up The Cupboards (I can't put it down.)

Open to page 123 and find the fifth sentence. Post the next three sentences.

"He can't sleep because his brain is more active than most people's."

"It would appear..." The doctor stopped, looking perplexed. I felt sorry for him and wished someone would bring him his coffee.

Tag five people.

The Miss Elaine-ous Life
Guinevere's Thoughts On Nothing In Particular
This Military Mama
Love Well
Just Another Mommy Blog

  4. I love the blue hair! Also, if you like historical fiction, I really loved "The Other Boylen Girl" by Philipia Gregory. She has a whole bunch of historical fictions from that time period, 14th-17th centuries. I also love books by Clive Cussler-his are like Indiana Jones mets Jocque Cousteau with some real ocean facts thrown in.

  10. You are so chic! The most daring I ever got was a reddish color. I am well into my summer of reading which keeps me sane. Just picked up a book at the library yesterday. I've been waiting for this one for a couple months. Can't wait to read it, but chores await.
