The Prom and 8 Things About Me


My DD had her prom last weekend :-). She looked so pretty! It's hard to believe two weeks from today she will graduate from high school. Time just flies.

I've been tagged by
Patti and Deb to tell you 8 things about myself:
1. I met my DH on a Saturday and we got married 6 weeks later.
2. I was born in Oxford England. My mom is English and met my dad when he was stationed in England.
3. I have a bachelor's degree in accounting.
4. My favorite kind of food is Italian. I love Giada de Laurentiis and I have all her cookbooks.
5. Next to stitching my other favorite thing to do is cook, I wish I could go to go to culinary school.
6. I am a bit of a perfectionist and a complete neat freak. I really like to vacuum, LOL.
7. I only drink water out of glass, no ice. I do like ice in soda.
8. My favorite candy is Cadbury mini-eggs. I buy 20-30 bags at Easter since that's the only time I can get them :-).

I've decided not to tag anyone else. I love answering the questions, so ask away, I just don't want to tag other people. I hope that's okay.

I've been working on BBD's Their Song but I haven't made enough progress to make a picture worthwhile. I will post one in a few days. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Holy cow....all of your things were surprising! LOL!! I'm definitely going to be checking out Giada's books..her website it pretty cool. Why don't you go to culinary school?? For my birthday 3 years ago, Marc got me a six week course in fondue. It was awesome and since then, I've taken several differnt sessions in different cultures of food. I too love to cook, but with Marc being ultra picky, I only get to whip things up for friends! As for the chocolate....LOL...I'd weigh 400 pounds!

OMG..I can't believe your daughter is graduating....I hope she had as lovely a time as she looked!!!

Your DD looked amazing on her prom night, it must feel strange to look at your daughter all grown up, I can't imagine mine like that but suppose it will creep up on me!!
Good to read your 8 things, I have yet to do mine. Do you class yourself as English or American? I'm guessing you do live in the US but I am not sure.

Have a nice week Katrina and as always thanks for visiting my blog too :)

Katrina, I love to vacuum too! I think it's very satisfying in some strange way. Love the photo of prom night, they do grow up awfully fast don't they?
