11 Random Facts about Myself:
1. I love fast cars. If I won the lottery Bugatti would be getting a call.
2. I resist going down to the humane society and adopting a bunch of animals. My back and my husband wouldn’t be pleased!
3. My two day jobs are real estate and taxes. Hence this creative outlet.
4. I love the snow but hate the cold.
5. I love being bonus mum to two amazing kids.
6. I love to dance. I think it enhances the cooking process. 🙂
7. I cry at sad movies. I try to watch them at home. I got caught out with the movie UP. Definitely got me.
8. Top Gear UK cracks me up. The other version doesn’t.
9. I want to know what it would be like to fly first class overseas. Not to be posh but to actually have the chance to lie flat and maybe get some sleep on the overnight flights!
10. I hate shopping.
11. I am grateful for such a wonderful husband who makes me smile every day and who takes such good care of his family. He’s pretty awesome. 🙂

Questions from Sweet Home Pasadena:
1. If you could pick one food to eat for the rest of your life and not gain weight by eating it, what would it be? Fish and chips.
2. Are you a morning person or a night owl? More morning but I don’t do caffeine so the start can be slow.
3. When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? Did you achieve your goal? I wanted to be a fighter jet pilot. I wear glasses and have asthma. I didn’t get very far.
4. Would you rather fly like a bird or swim like a fish? Why? Fly like a bird. I’m afraid of drowning and I’d prefer to soar.
5. If you cook, what is your signature dish? If not, what is your favorite meal to order? Hmm a tough one. I make a pretty good chili
6. You’re at a karaoke bar. What would your first song be? An instrumental. Not sure you want me singing.
7. What is your favorite movie? I like Princess Bride
8. If you could invite 3 people to dinner (living or dead, real or fictional) who would you pick? Nelson Mandela, Agatha Christie, and Dr. Who. Well, someone has to be able to take us back in time!
9. Who is your hero? Why? Rosa Parks. Courage isn’t always planned but it makes a big impact
10. If money were no object, where would you go on your next vacation? I would do a round the world trip

Congratulations Virginia! Sweet Home Pasadena picked good questions and it was fun reading your responses as well as your 11 random facts. It is interesting to see how your nominees respond to your interesting questions!
Yes it will be interesting to see the responses! 🙂 Thanks!
Congratulations – like your responses and facts!
Thanks! 🙂
Nice to learn more about you! PS Hubs has flown 1st class overseas once and he said it was amazing but he felt bad for the rest of the plane. He said that’s how everyone should fly.
It certainly seems more civilised!
Congrats! Loved your responses and I’m not familiar with a number of your nominees. Win/win!
Thank you! 🙂
Thanks for nominating Spontaneous Tomato!
I liked your answer to the karaoke question… I’d love to see someone just get up on stage at karaoke and say “this next song is an instrumental.” 🙂
It would certainly save our ears!
Congratulations, and I’m loving your responses too! I can see/read a lot of humour in there, bursting to come out ! Hope you have a super soaring week 🙂
Thanks and you too! 🙂
