Two things

H tagged me for the two things meme!

Two names you go by:
- Mu-um (yes, that does have two syllables)
- Babe (J calls me that and even Chickie has called me that once or twice)

Two things you are wearing right now:
- pjs (pink and white if you must know)
- black, white and grey jigsaw patterned socks

Two things you would want (or have) in a relationship:
- friendship
- someone who can make me laugh

Two of your favourite things to do:
- beading
- watching a good (mushy) chick flick

Two things you want very badly at the moment:
- to be able to lose 10 more kilos - preferably without exercising or watching what I eat (why are you laughing?)
- to be able to sleep a full night without one of the cats meowing to be let out and then just standing at the door deciding it's too cold after all...

Two pets you have had:
- a siamese cat called Simon (can't recall why I called him that, it was a long time ago now, I was a kid - ok?)
- a (half siamese) jet black cat called Tiki

Two people I would like to do this (if you're not interested though, just say!):
- Steve
- Robin

Two things you did last night:
- played Neopets
- watched tv (I had a really really boring night last night!)

Two things you ate today:
- Vogel's Soy and Linseed Bran for breakfast (Chickie calls it my 'stickies' cereal because they look like little sticks)
- a very small slice of chocolate cake (naughty but one of my team-mates is off on maternity leave and brought it in as a farewell - it would have been rude to refuse...)

Two people you last talked to:
- On the phone: J's mother
- In person: J

Two things you are doing tomorrow:
- hoping to visit the friend that recently had the 9 pound baby (if she's up to it)
- going to work (way, way too early in the day)

Two longest car rides:
- Do bus rides count? If so, I spent a few days on a bus from the north coast of NSW to Perth WA. That was a loooong trip.
- Caboolture QLD to Dubbo NSW. I drove by myself and it took two days (I don't drive at night, if I have a choice, since my night vision isn't as good as it could be). I've actually done trips of similar lengths a couple of times.

Two favourite holidays:
- 2 weeks in Japan. In our family our 21st present is a plane ticket to wherever and all we have to do is save for spending money.
- Our recent holiday to the Gold Coast was fun.

Two favourite beverages:
- lemon pepsi. Though I don't think they make it any more. Shame really, it was yummy. Not that I should be drinking normal soft drinks now anyway, so these days it's diet coke with lime.
- a good old fashioned bloody mary

So there you go - now you know even more about me!

Choclate cake may be naughty.....but if it's really nice it's probably worth it anytime :-) especially if you onlyhad a little bit

Mmm...chocolate cake!

Is it sync'd yet? said...

Man I want to be 21 again in your family.

Gnat.

coke with lime is a crime against nature and should be banned (along with its evil twin cherry coke)

Chocolate cake is only naughty if it was the dessert you had after the cereal.

SchwipSchowp - that was the lemon pepsi in Germany. Mezzo Mix was lemon and coke.

Holly Muppet said...

Love the 21st present idea!

LBA said...

I adore a bloody ( or even a Virgin ) Mary. Divine !

Thanks heaps for that art link, BTW - it's brillaint and the boy now favours it over paint. He loves to 'hang it in the gallery' when he's done, and I like to 'replay' them if I miss the initial artisty.

*Thankyou* - really :)

hannah - it was very nice actually. I think not having it very often makes it nicer when you do have it.

myutopia - it's my favourite!

gnat and h&s - we all thought it was a great idea too. I think I'd like to do the same for Chickie.

velcro - lol! It was the only way I could really have coke at all, though nowadays I can handle plain diet coke.

I fully agree with you on the cherry coke. Though I don't think cherry ever took off over here. I think I vaguely remember seeing it but it disappeared very quickly. A bit like Dr Pepper.

kirsty - lol! Must remember that if I'm ever feeling guilty :D

phos - I like the name SchwipSchowp. Cute!

h&b - no problems :) A friend who is studying art (and is very talented) sent it to me. I should actually look for his youtube videos of his drawings and post the links one day.

Chickie loves that site - he's particularly fond of the paint can tool.

I'm talking about this link btw:

Oh great One said...

I have a cat named Simon too!

meggie said...

Nice little nose into your life!
Chocolate cake is never a sin.

Steve said...

Don't tell my stepdaughter Sarah about the 21st thing. She turns 21 in December and wants to swim with the dolphins at Seaworld. That's a lot more affordable.

caramaena said...

oh great one - heh, any time I tell people I once had a cat called Simon, I get weird looks. Glad I'm not the only person who called their cat that name!

meggie - I figure a little chocolate cake can't hurt too much :D

steve - I remember you mentioning that before. Do let me know how it goes. I think that is fantastic 21st gift. I would so love to do it too.
