This is the first chance I had to get to these. This is a fun bunch of questions.
1. So living in the great white north sounds brrrrrr, too cold, to us Southerners. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live, and why?
I would go back to the Fiji, or Jamaica. I am an island girl at heart. We condidered relocating to Puerto Rico this past summer as well. But if I move to the islands, I would miss the beauty of upstate NY and New England terribly. I feel very blessed because even though the cold is a struggle, we are living how I would like to live for now.
2. Are you really sleepy all the time? And just how DID you meet that Peony girl, anyway?
Yes, i am really sleepy all the time. I come from a long line of what my brother Alex would call "Sleepy Jamaican Women" because anemia and narcolepsy run int the family. Then I manage to have children who hate to sleep.
I met Peony on the Mothering With Grace 2 1/2 years ago. I remember because she referred to Hambet as "the Baby" all the time, and he was 18 months. There was a thread where someone requested we all give our AIM handles and like a days later she IMed out the blue. Then we made a point to IM the same time every day and found we some funny things in common. I remember thinking she was the coolest Catholic I met. She was smart, she liked Buffy and we talked about what to make for dinner everyday.
3. What was the last movie you watched, and would you recommend it to us? (Note: this needs to be a grown-up movie. Bambi doesn't count.)Oh, I never get to see grown-up movies. I saw the Pacifier and Are We There Yet and not only were they not grown up movies, they were penance. I watched Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure last night, but that is adolescent. Oh, I know, I think perhaps The Village. It is not my fav M.Night Shayalaman, but it has some great lines in it.
4. Go ahead and confess. Tell us one of your guilty pleasures. Buffalo Wings!!!!Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. Oh, and um, season 1 of Wonder Woman.
5. You knew it was coming: What's your all-time favorite fiction book? At least for today.I have wayyy too many, I cannot narrow it down. I love science fiction and gothic horror. I also love mysteries, particulalry Sue Grafton. Reading is one of my favorite hobbies.
Well, nothing tops Mom's "sleepy Jamaican woman-ness". You're just a poser when compared to Mom. Although, she told me that Nana used to fall asleep while walking down the stairs. If she were still alive, that would make her the queen of sleepy Jamaican womanhood.
yes, but it can be so very difficult to find GOOD Buffalo Wings!
buffalo wings. BUFFALO WINGS! I love them. Is it Easter yet?
JAMAICAN??!!! I didn't know you were jamaican!!! I just keep learning more and more about you... Those that thought you were north in Upstate New York need to come and see where I grew up... it is pretty sleepy there too...
What the heck am I doing in place that you have to book appointments to see your friends anyway? One can't just drop in here, you have to call ahead... wasn't like that where I grew up... probably isn't like that in Jamaica either...
I am rambling on because we had friends over for dinner and I had too much wine... please forgive me... I also can't type straight...
you sound like one cool momma!
