So here's the Friday Five: 1. What drinking water do you prefer -- tap, bottle, purifier, etc.? Bottled when I am away from my home, but I use a purifier at home. I am a water fiend, too. I drink liter upon liter of it, all day long. Tap water disgusts me. 2. What are your favorite flavor of chips? Generally speaking, I tend to favor Lays and not just for the obvious possibility of double-entendre jokes. But you know, I am not really picky about my chips, so long as they�re not bar-b-que flavor. 3. Of all the things you can cook, what dish do you like the most? Carne Adovada and/or Fried Chicken. Mmmm� 4. How do you have your eggs? Scrambled, dry. No runny centers - no way!!!! 5. Who was the last person who cooked you a meal? How did it turn out? Arnett and it was divine. Sauteed scallops, baked salmon with a lovely side of steamed veggies and a wonderous salad. Gotta love Arnie. ~~~ OK, I am apparently using his journal incorrectly. I keep reading entries from certain people (*ahem* sooner, the would-be-love-of-my-life-if-only-I-had-a-penis, for one; piehole another) who actually get gifts from people who love their diary. Gifts! Real live, actual presents from relative strangers! I think now that I am a favorite of a whopping 20 people (woo-hoo! Thanks, you kind folks!) out there in d-land, I need to begin racking in the giftage. Of course, I guess this means I should actually think about my entries before I write them, in an effort to be at least slightly entertaining on a regular basis, rather than just regurgitating whatever things may jump to the top of my brain at any given moment. I mean, if you people are actually going to pay to read these pages, by way of sending me lots and lots of presents, I assume I should make the reading worth your while. And let�s face it - that just may be too much work. So, at this point I will negate completing an actual Amazon wish list or anything. However, following is a list of things I really like but rarely buy for myself, just in case any of you lot are feeling overly generous this weekend. 1. I have been wanting this record player for freakin� EVER and have yet to purchase it. Meanwhile, I haven�t been able to actually play my records in two years. 2. Easy to read guitar books for the dumb-ass quasi-musician (that would be me) are much desired. 3. Books, books and more books. If it�s something published within the last five years, you can bet I don�t already have it. 4. I am also terribly behind the times when it comes to CD purchases. 5. Bath towels. A gift card to some homey-type store will suffice. 6. New living room and/or bedroom furniture. I do have off-beat and eclectic tastes, so again, a gift card (or even better - an open line of credit) will do rather nicely. 7. Laser Hair Removal. *ahem* �Nuff said. 8. I am in dire need of a new mattress pad, size California King. I bought this damn, big-ass bed when John and I were living in sin (it�s the only size bed that doesn�t cause John�s feet to hang over the edge. This is what living with a giant is like, folks). However, who the hell wants to spend like $100 on a freakin� mattress pad? Nobody ever even sees the damn thing! 9. While we�re at it, I need new sheets. 10. I do purchase Bath and Body Works products for myself, but that doesn�t mean you can�t do so as well. My favorite scents are Raspberry and Sweet Pea. 11. I�ve been wanting to purchase some sexy yummies. As yet, I have not done so. As an added bonus, you�ll probably have John�s thanks for this gift, as well as mine. 12. I�ve also been meaning to try some New Mexico Pinion Coffee. They have lots of cool looking gift baskets at this place, too. Don�t feel that you can only buy coffee for me. 13. Any sort of baked goodie is always appreciated. 14. I need new walking shoes. My feet fall asleep in the Reeboks I presently wear - while I'm walking. Something tells me this is probably not very good for me. 15. When in doubt, just send cash (or cash equivalents). ~~~ I will wait for another, less frivolous day to talk abut June Carter Cash and how I so love her and her hubby. Have a nice weekend, folks. |
