Have you read the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society?
I bet you would like it.
I just read it for my book club, and it was set in the British Isles, Guernsey Island to be exact.

You do look quite smashing in pink, as displayed in your profile pic.

I would love to see your Mr. Spock eyebrows sometime.

And, shhhh, but I don't like to shower much, either, and do it as little as possible. Which is, as it turns out, about every other day.

First, I love the eyebrow thing.

Second, you are really descended from William the Conquerer? That is so cool!

Wales is one of my favorite places on earth. Green, mossy, stone walls, rugged shore lines. I expected to find fairies flitting about!

Fun quirks about you!

I like reading tags because I find out more about the person getting tagged. I loved reading this. I like things British, too, but probably because my in-laws are British immigrants. But way before them I already loved things Charles Dickens and Jane Austen so who knows?

Sabrina, no I haven't but I will now! Maybe your book club would like Miss D? (how's that for a shameless plug?) Lara--"smashing"! Thank you! Actually, I just have the one Spock eyebrow and it is the one that looks like it is cocked with attitude in my profile pic--yep, that's just the way it always is now. (I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't shower every day, phew!) Kazzy- Yep, me and Will go way back which means I have the royal blood of all the countries in Europe in my geneology which is why the darling guy who sat behind me in Brit Lit called me duchess. Loved it! Loved him, but then I starting loving The Spouse and it was all over for me. I loved Wales, too. I only spent an afternoon there while touring Castles (Powys and Chirk)--I have no Celtic ancestors except for the Tylers who hail from Wales.
Marivic--that's right, I remember reading that about your husband being a transplanted Brit. I have a friend who is Australian who actually had tea with the Queen. (She didn't think it was all that great.)

see? I knew I would find new fun freinds that share my same sentiments on really important things like dislikes for fruit desserts.. I shoudl have put that as things that dont mix. If I am gonna eat something sweet, chocolate or nothing baby! fruit in pie is a waste of time LOL!

and congrats on getting tagged twice. You are so popular.

Heidi, I remember to add you to the tag lists...really the only one that ever tags me is my sisters. How neat it is that we can get to know each other via our blogs like this. It means a lot too me, since I don't get out too much.

Stacey, do you think we might have been separated at birth? I would truly think so except that I already have a twin sister and the pics of mom when she was expecting don't allow for a triplet. And you are probably wayyy younger than me and blond and pretty so nix that. BUT I have often and often said the same thing--if it's not chocolate, why bother? I am always pleasantly surprised when I DO bother (unless it is cooked fruit-gah!) but not pleasantly enough to turn away the chocolate should it be there. Kelline--yes, tag away, please do, and I'll tag you. Actually, I already did, should you want to be.

Oh yes, before I had kids I did a lot of antique shopping, thrifting. Since Elizabeth could walk that slowed to a halt. But we should compare notes on all the fun girly things/places in the Bay Area. That would be fun!

Janelle, yes, I would love that!

Fruit is meant to be a healthy, tasty snack, and not a dessert. I do admit that I recently started liking cherries in muffins and have always sort of liked apple crisp. Really, though, if it's going to be baked, make it with chocolate.

And I almost only ever read Victorian classics. Love them. (and I'm SO not well rounded. Oh well)
