    1. Did you make any New Years Resolutions? If so, have you managed to keep it/them so far? I actually didn't make one, but I feel unorganized lately. I want to make the best use of all my time so back to making lists for me. 2. What are you wearing? blazer, stripe shirt, floral scarf, jeans, and ...furry boot slippers. Will put boots on later. 3. Hows the weather in your neck of the woods? Snow. 4. What did you eat today? Banana. I need to eat after this. (Back to making lists for my food too!) 5. Do you celebrate Valentines day? How? Sure. I find in more recent years it seems so commercial to me that I feel almost silly to participate in the festivities. We'll probably go out for dinner though! 6. If married, how long have you been married? 7 years. 7. What is your favorite feature? eyelashes 8. What is the predominant color in your wardrobe? Black 9. What is your favorite board or card game? Pictionary always get us laughing. 10. What is the 7th song listed on your iPod or MP3 player? I don't know. I'm sure it's an Avenged Sevenfold song. I haven't listened to my iPod in quite a few years. 11. What time do you usually get up in the morning? Later than I should. I'm naturally a night person. 12. If you work outside the home, how far/long is your daily commute? Used to be almost an hour. 13. Where was the last place you travelled to that was greater than 300 miles from your home? Beach 14. Can you whistle a tune? Yes 15. Seahawks or Patriots? Doesn't matter to me. DH will cheer for the Patriots. I like football as background noise. (I'm serious.) I like sports, but don't want to watch them on tv. I think games last WAY too long. Hours and hours and then there's another game! I don't want to sit that long.

    1. GW member? Since 2007. I found this site while googling reviews of Dacor ovens. I had to switch my login name a few years back when I discovered that my neighbor lurked here and repeated my comments to other neighbors. I never said anything that I regretted but I found her actions a little creepy. 2. Coffee. With Skim Plus Fat Free half n half. 3. What color is your bedroom? Right now it's primed and awaiting our decision on color. 4. Coziest or most relaxing room? My family room with a gas Jotul stove. Good for cuddling, watching TV or reading. 5. Do you garden as well as decorate? I garden and pay someone to help me decorate. 6. Does your décor extend to your outdoor space? It's more like my indoor space is influenced by my outdoors. 7. Fresh or artificial? I grow orchids and there are more than 30 spread throughout the house. When they're blooming I bring them to a more prominent location. Even now after one of the coldest months we've had I have six blooming. 8. Where did/do you splurge in your home? And for yourself? We splurge by purchasing what we want. We research first and then buy - it might be the 2 Sub Zeros in the kitchen or a vintage rug in the foyer. But it could equally be something we found at the local Habitat for Humanity store or at an out of the way 'antique' furniture store that we stumbled upon while on a drive. We look for quality first and then value. For myself? I usually let DH handle those splurges but I did just buy a vintage Hermes scarf - it was a limited release and had a special meaning for me. 9. Lip gloss, lipstick or chapstick? Only chapstick if need. Favorite comfort food? Must I limit it to one? Oh well. Mac and Cheese. What’s for lunch/dinner/next meal? We're having homemade minestrone soup tonight and salad. We had to cancel dinner reservations due to the treacherous ice.

    Q

    What is the oldest piece of clothing in your usual rotation? A brown wool crepe Eileen Fisher dress I bought at a JJill outlet in N Conway NH 17 years ago. It's a great, classic dress and still in excellent condition and I love it. What article of clothing do you hold onto but not wear? *My wedding dress What was your favorite childhood outfit? I had a yellow dress that my grandfather bought me just a few weeks before he died when I was not quit 6. I loved that dress! The least favorite childhood outfit? Wool leggings that went with wool dress coats - a big pain to get on and always too hot (we lived in Kansas City, not Anchorage!) What was/is your favorite grown up article of clothing? I love my Hermes handbags - great classic design, great quality, can make a cheap outfit look pretty darned good! What article of clothing was 'the one that got away', the one you didn't purchase and regretted later? A pair of beautiful opal earrings I saw in Petoskey MI and could not afford. The color was gorgeous - lots of blue and fire. What was the first article of clothing you bought for yourself with your own money? A round polished calfskin black handbag at Harzfeld's in Kansas City when I was about 14. It was adorable - opened with a flap that came down. Saved my babysitting money for it and thought I was tres chic!e What was your biggest mistake clothing or shoe purchase? A pair of really gorgeous Valentino bow pumps. Outrageously expensive - thought they were comfortable at Saks - can't wear them as they hurt like the devil. What item do you miss the most (maybe it wore out or doesn't fit or is woefully out of style)? There are so many! Beautiful wool or linen daytime dresses. Beautiful lingerie that was not slutty. Spring coats. Dark cottons for fall. Spectator pumps with a linen dress. I could go on.... Do you wear red for Valentine's Day or green for St. Patrick's? Any other holidays that you wear something specifically holiday related? Sometimes, I wear a pinkish red sweater on Valentine's Day. NEVER green on St Patrick's - I'm English and might just wear orange if I'm feeling cheeky! What was your favorite pair of shoes? (They don't have to be practical or worn often, just the ones that bring a smile to your face when you think about them.) I love my Roger Vivier black patent "Pilgrim" pumps and the dark brown suede "Pilgrim" flats. Chic and SO comfortable. Worth every penny. Did you/do you work in a job that requires a uniform? Did you wear a uniform for school? * Never had a job that required a uniform, but when I was working in retailing in the 1960's there was a strict dress code - no pants, only black, navy, gray or very dark brown clothing allowed, heels and hose required. We were not to "compete" with the merchandise.

    7. What was your favorite subject in high school?

    I'm going with favorite class instead. In junior year I took Honors Oceanography. Math was not my strong suit so I took this class instead of Physics. My school was near the water and my class would go to the beach for weekly "labs". We maintained a huge saltwater aquarium in our classroom and went on a four-day whale watching trip to Provincetown. I wanted to be a marine biologist as a result of this class, but in the end followed my more natural inclination and became a writer instead.

    Hard to say. There is a great steakhouse near us that is really good (I say that as a non-steak eater.) Great food, innovative drinks, and an atmosphere that is both spacious and intimate if that makes sense. The service is reliably excellent. But, otoh, dh is a great cook and I love sittting in the kitchen with a glass of wine as he makes chicken cacciatore.
