Random Questions

A meme, stolen from BizarroGirl:

1. What time did you get up this morning?
9:45 am. I know, I know.  When we have kids, this will never be possible again, so I am trying to get as much sleeping-in as possible.

2. Diamonds or pearls?
Neither, like BizarroGirl, I like color.  My engagement ring is tanzanite.  Maybe pearls, if I were forced to choose, because my name means "little pearl."

3. What was the last film you saw at the Cinema?
Bridget Jones’ Diary: Edge of Reason, with some coworkers. Meh.  It was far more fun to make fun of the other people in the theater, namely, the four men that we predicted were ‘new boyfriends.’ Because, really, I wouldn’t make my husband go see a Bridget Jones movie.

The Amazing Race

White in an effort to distract from the pink sink and the pink swirly plastic tiles.  It’s on the list of "things to change while we live here but not just yet."  Tearing out the gross pink carpet and laying vinyl stick tiles did WONDERS for the room.
