Shivi said ... wow, someone else who doesn't eat fruit! You're the first person I've met. I'm trying to eat fruit as I know it's good for me but it's just so messy and the texture is so different and there's all those ewwy bits you have to pull off. Give me a juice any day!
The only fruit I really enjoy is raspberries. I refuse to ever try again pears, grapes or apples and if I do have any fruit it must be cold! At the moment I've been mashing/blending up fruits like watermelon, papaya and mango and putting them into icy lolly containers and freezing them and eating them that way so that the flavour isn't so strong and it's just like eatng a normal ice lolly.

well seeya, Shivi


Tracy M. said ... I'm too crazy about a lot of fruit either so don't feel like the lone stranger. I missed the giveaway! Bummer!
Oh well. Love the new purse!
Have a great day,
Tracy M.


Tracy M. said ... That was supposed to say NOT too crazy about fruit. Sorry


David CL said ... Wait, you've got the "biopic" pronunciations backwards, I think. Unless I say it wrong too.


futuregirl said ... David CL: I had 'em mixed up ... of course *you* say it right. ;)


angelina said ... I pronounce things wrong all the time too like. The one I always get called on is debacle. I read so much and know far more words than I can find use for every day so I'll break out a word I really like that I've read (wrongly) for years and say it wrong.

I didn't know you were allergic to wool. I love posts like this.

So Andrew must be a very still sleeper?


michelle said ... Sweet avatar. Maybe I should try and make some of my kids. hmmm?


Kuky said ... Bwa ha ha ha!! That had me laughing a few times VERY LOUDLY. Why? Because of the similarities to me. I made one of those manga faces last night. But I didn't save it. It had on a skull necklace.

The whole washing the clothes thing. Very familiar. Along with not folding the laundry.

Mispronouncing words. I sat here for a while muttering the words to myself seeing if I pronounced them all correctly. And ummm...I don't!! And I didn't even know it.

The covers. I have to have my blanket and sheet faced a certain way. (I say my blanket because we do separate blankets and I only use a sheet, not Alan.) I like the band, you know the top, to be near my head. It can't be on the side or the bottom. I try to convince Alan that this is absolutely logical because they're longer that way. And it can't be bunched up or folded. It needs to be a single layer or it's too hot. But he says I'm a freak.


lil' d said ... I'm so glad to find out that I'm not the only person who mispronounces words. I read too many books as a kid and got left with all sorts of screwed up ideas about how things should sound.

Then I moved to America and had a whole load of new pronounciations to learn. I can't even remember which is English and which is American any more and just pick pronounciations randomly.

And when my husband tells me that I have mispronounced something, I'll always tell him that's the English way and we created the language, even when I'm not sure. Because I don't lose arguments to him. ever.


Jennifer said ... Great to know more about you. I'm thirty six also. I thought we were close in age!


Stephanie said ... Hehe! I don't feel so alone now! I do the same thing about mispronouncing words that I have only read. My husband calls me on it frequently, especially when we read the same books.


Jess said ... Hi Alice! I just started reading your blog not too long ago. I also live in Philly and just moved from SF, small world! I like meme's because it is a nice way to get to know more about my favorite crafty bloggers! I do the exact same thing with mispronouncing words - my fiancee corrects me on it every time; I just tell him that I like the way I pronounce it better. :) I can't think of any right now, but I'm pretty sure I do it at least once per day! I look forward to reading your blog more!


Vivi said ... My husband eats cereal (crunchy meuslix, thank you) the same way, though he does eat a spoon. I think you share the love of cereal without milk with most of France, actually. I'm sure they'd like it more if the milk was fresh (most milk here is UHT and stored in cardboard boxes that last for months, until you open them!).


Regina said ... My 7 year old eats cereal the same way. Great list of stuff! I *heart* making lists too! The more notebooks/pads of paper the better!


Sonya said ... I am not a meme fan. Partially because I thought some were really inane and how could I do some and not the others? Also there is that part of me that hates feeling left out and memes bring that out. I was never a big chain mail fan. So I guess it's related. But they do serve the purpose of getting to know one better. Insert Sound of Music clip here.


Jennifer said ... You should check out what RicRac just recently wrote about tags and memes on her blog..it was really cute.

A few similarities between us..36 yrs old. I MUST be organized! I have an awesome and i mean awesome husband. I've been crafty my whole life and make things with felt and embroider. I love owls(after living in an area where barred owls appeared in our yard almost daily and you heard them almost every night). I love Japanese craft. I wake up if the covers move even one inch so much so that we have separate bedrooms. Differences..I SUCK at computers and that's why you have no link to me..but I'm learning! I don't crochet. I love fruit!
