Five

Tuesday, April 18th, 2006

As I was doing my blog rounds, I was indirectly tagged by Hope. So here goes:

Five minutes to yourself:
I would indulge in a cup of coffee or tea and flip through a magazine.

Five bucks to spend right now: how would you spend it?
I would buy some fresh flowers to put on my dining room table.

Five items in your house you could part with, right now, that you hadn’t thought of already?
the bathroom shower curtain (I never did like the design) · the husband’s gun cabinet (and all items within it… hmm, I wonder if he would notice?) · the kids Play-Doh kit (the smell of that stuff makes me nauseous) · all the Easter candy (I don’t need the temptation!) · the television in our bedroom.

Five items you absolutely, positively could never part with in your house?
chest of personal photos · art supplies (can I count that I as one item, pleeeease?) · computer · journal · digital camera.

Five words you love?
Hmm, this is a strange one; I honestly never thought of it before… so (I so overuse that word, and usually inappropriately!) · discombobulate (because it is fun to say) · intoxicate (not because I’m into being juiced up on alcohol or drugs, but because I want to be high on life!) · organic · and albeit (not sure why on the last two, just because).

I am going to do what Hope does and tag the first five people who read this — so please be honest and leave a comment! (If you have already been tagged, you are excused.)
