Some things

by Kyra

Saw this on Ker’s blog and I’m joining in the survey madness…

where is your cell phone?
on the table next to me

your hair?
is long and healthy but needs to be blonde (once the baby arrives!) (and moroccan oil makes it more luscious)

your mom?
is arriving on Tuesday night! Wooo!

your dad?
also arriving on Tuesday night! but he’s missing out on the Wednesday massages (girls only)

your favorite food?
mashed potatoes and my mom’s special chicken francaise (with swiss cheese on top!) and pizza and bagels (NY or NJ, please, for both of the last items)

your dream last nite?
dreams about Ender, even though I only read two chapters of Ender’s Game so far

your favorite drink?
nice dry red wine or an ice cold dirty martini (shaken, extra dirty) or lightly sweetened mint tea for the non-alcoholic variety

your dream/goal?
live in a cozy, beautiful old house with character with Dave, our kids (well, one to start), and 5 or 6 big dogs (if this house could be super close to both mountains and ocean that would be even more perfect; have my own design business; be financially secure

the room you are in?
our bedroom, on the bed, trying to work, with ice on my back, chilling with Darwin, the best dog ever (well, one of them anyway)

what is your hobby?
taking pictures, reading, yoga (especially creative open flows), mixed media messy stuff (though it’s been a while), reading

what is your fear?
being broke, not being creative enough

where were you last nite?
eating at Fiore’s in Asheville for Dave’s birthday – mmmmm amazing gnocchi with vodka sauce and broccoli cavatelli and a few sips of Dave’s delicious wine…

something you are not?
One who thrives on routine.

muffins?
I agree with whoever said cupcakes are better, because they are, but blueberry with crumbly topping is pretty yummy.

on your wish list?
our next move being to somewhere amazing and beautiful, a European vacation, happy healthy baby, again, financial security, my own business, happiness and creativity every day for both our family

where did you grow up?
Mainly Rutherford, NJ (with NY, Ohio, Montana and Washington NJ also tossed in there)

last thing you did?
went through cookbooks with Marly and Erich for Thanksgiving ideas

what are you wearing?
black exercise pants and a black tank top

your TV?
only what I can watch on DVD or online (no cable — too distracting and mind sucking; the flip flip flip that I used to excel at)

your pets?
Darwin (one of my best friends for sure) and Molly – awesome dogs; We lost Mr. Boodles & Drifter in the last year
