Did you used to take those magazine Romance IQ tests and Personality Quizzes when you were younger? I think I faithfully filled them out once or twice, but the questions themselves were so odd, so alternate universe. Now days we have blog tags and My Space quizzes, and the questions are all so nutty, but that’s part of the fun.
Anyway, as you can probably tell I’m not in a blogging mood this morning. I can’t seem to think of anything very coherent to chat about, so in honor of January and its new beginnings, I thought I’d throw out a couple of just-for-fun questions, and you can answer or depart for blogs unknown where people are actually having intelligent conversation. Your choice.
1) What are you wearing right now?
2) Who was the last person you kissed — and when?
3) What’s the first line of the current book you’re reading?
4) Have you broken your New Year’s diet yet?
5) What’s the weather like there?
-
1. A green nightgown
2. My youngest nephew this past Sunday
3. Does this include the Acknowledgment, Preface, and Prologue sections? I’m not sure where to start.
4. What New Year’s Diet? I’m not on one.
5. Weather is cold…and it was flurrying earlier.

1) Jeans, button-down shirt, grubby zippered fleece sweatshirt (it’s warm!), socks with puppies on them.
2) My daughter before she left for school this morning.
3) Not currently reading anything. (GASP)
4) Not on a diet, but I did join the Y and have already missed two of my exercise classes since the New Year (and they’re only twice a week).
5) COLD! It’s currently 21*, but sunny, so that makes it almost tolerable. Almost.
What are your answers, Diana??

1) Sweater and jeans (for the first time in two years!)
2) My next door neighbor (female) who just brought me back a stack of books from the U.S.
3) Angry blood rose under Jerry’s tan as he wrenched the steering wheel sharply to avoid a collision with a car which careened madly around the turn.
4) I was doing so well, but the same neighbor who brought me the books also brought Milk Duds!!! What’s a person to do?
5) It is currently 42 degrees F., which is the coldest it’s been here in Bahrain in forty years! I love it!
First time I’ve hit the Cozy Chicks blog in a long time. Great to hear how you’re all doing.

Diana, I’m in exactly the same kinda mood on this dreary morning……..
1. Navy Land’s End Henley Long Tee under emerald green terry robe, white cotton socks & tan mocs (what a fashion statement, but comfy!)
2. The Professor as I was getting out of bed
3. I’m currently reading two, bad habit but I often like to do that with different genres.”This is Warren Hoge,” announced a self satisfied voice when I picked up the phone,” assistant managing editor of the New York Times.” GARLIC AND SAPPHIRES by Ruth Reichl . and…….”She had a real name, of course—the one she’d been given at birth and had used for much of her life—but now she had a new name.” T is for TRESPASS by Sue Grafton.
4. Yes, once on Sunday, the 13th, our anniversary. I ate a dark chocolate truffle after dinner to celebrate. It was divine! Today is exactly 2 weeks since I started the new regime, er, lifestyle of heathly eating & exercise, AGAIN. Lost 9 lbs. so far.
5. Cold and rainy. May have our first snow of the year tonite or tomorrow. Brrrrr…..

Hey, Traci, let’s start with the fiction — so…prolog if the book’s got one.

Oh, yeah!
1) PJs — black flannel with grey and white snowflakes
2) Mr. Thrilling when he crawled into bed sometime after midnight
3) No, but I’m hungry as heck and already dreaming of lunch
4) Sunny and chilly

Woohooo! The good thing about the immediate post-holiday diet is the fat comes off fast. It hasn’t had time to…er…settle. How’s that for a scientific take on it all?
-
Oh, mine had already “settled”, Diana! I quit smoking 2 1/2 yrs. ago, gradually gained back the 20 lbs. I’d previously lost, as I started the butt-in-chair writing, (meanwhile eventually quit exercising regularly) *then* packed on the holiday pounds. Sheesh, I’m the prime example of yo-yo-ing. But, onwards and upwards!

Congratulations on the pregancy, Foodie! Are you dealing with the whole morning sickeness thing? Yeeesh!
-
Sheesh, I’m the prime example of yo-yo-ing. But, onwards and upwards
Or onwards and downwards!
-
T-shirt etc
It’s that all important “etc.” eh, Rudolf? ;-D
-
Jan, you sound like you have an Audrey Hepburn thing going with the black slacks and scarf. Washington DC in the snow. It sounds so romantic.
-
Christmas stories. Nice, Traci! I like to read Christmas-based mysteries around the holidays — when I have time to read.
-
I amost answered “which one?” because I’m usually reading several books at once
Me too, Mary. The problem is I never seem to finish anything lately. It’s sort of disturbing.
-
I’m a little late with my reply, it’s tuesday the 22nd and I have 1 few minutes before the dryer goes off……
1. black cotton pants, long sleeved pink t-shirt with “Pink Ladies” written on it and white and pink flowered socks.
2. my little man, age 2, just a few minutes ago
3. ” Nikki Sands took her friend’s hands into her own and squeezed, so sorry for Isabel’s pain.” Murder by the Glass by Michele Scott (LOVE it so far)
4. I don’t make any resolutions anymore cause I just can’t seem to follow through! Am going back on WW cause I’ve done well before and NEED to lose the lbs.

Oh, very cool! That’s what we love to hear!

Diana,
I just wish the book would resemble the story I know…I have seen the movie many times. I am now over half way through the book and it isn’t at all like the story I have seen. I hate that. This is one of the bad points of watching the movie before reading the book. Lesson learned…read the book first, then watch the movie. You’ll compare them no matter what, but at least you’ll be comparing them in the right order.

Traci, without fail, the more I love the book, the less I like the movie. It’s gotten to the point that I almost hate to hear one of my favorite books is being made into a film.

Diana, that is why I have yet to watch The DaVinci Code. I got a very clear piture in my mind as to who was going to play the main character and when I heard they cast Tom Hanks, I just couldn’t believe it. There are two books, though, that I would LOVE to see made into a movie.
Oh, and I did finally finish “The Christmas Shoes”. Good book, but unrecognizable. I’m half way through the sequel that was made into a movie and don’t recognize that either. Sure would be nice if they stayed true to the books.
