Wide awake and feeling great! Oh, I just made a rhyme… 🙂
A couple years ago after my BFF’s wedding in Boca, El Hub and I drove down through the Florida Keys to Key West. The drive was epically beautiful along a highway that stretches more than 100 miles out into the sea, water on both sides of the car. We just took in the view and listened to music the whole time. And Key West was a lot like Hawaii, tropical, a little old fashioned, with a lot of lounging around by the pool, sightseeing and eating.
I am for milk or semi-sweet, but I have to be in the right mood for dark or white chocolate.
Why have just one? Depending on the crowd I’m with, I’m known as babe, brats, bratasaurus rex, Abs, Karonie, Kate, Katie or KT.
Most of the time, coffee, but I prefer darjeeling or green tea when my stomach’s feeling fussy.
Only in moderation, and never, EVER on headbands, wristbands or socks.
The gray fedora I got at Forever 21 for $12.
No, but I’m at the point where I actually forget it sometimes. Is it 34 or 35?? After a point everything sort of blurs together.
I’d sit by the pool and take advantage of this freak warm spell we’re having (it was almost 80 degrees yesterday!).
Exercise restraint when it comes to Facebook (speaking of that, are we friends on facebook yet?), meet my deadlines, pay some extra attention to Tabs this week, and take care of everything that has to be done before I leave for Hawaii next week (visiting family for Thanksgiving).
Thanksgiving’s just a hop, skip and a jump away. Will you be traveling this year or staying local?

My latest one, in Singapore. It was awesome to spend time with the boyfriend and my mother overseas 🙂

10. Weekly goals:
Get enough sleep/rest as to survive the hectic 2 weeks to come with research colloquium and thesis due date getting closer and try to spend more time with my boyfriend, pets and family.
Hi Stephanie,
It sounds like your plate is full for the next two weeks. Hang in there!
1. Headache-y… definitely did not sleep solidly last night 🙁
2. Nepal, when I was 13. Blew my freaking mind. And I got to stay at the Raffles in Singapore on the way back, and decided that I have to live there, if only for the shopping.
3. Yes. Twice. In fact, I think I’ll just snag a piece of that pistachio choco bark…. yum.
4. Oh god, so many. Mollers, Moldol (ewww), Lucy, ElmC (don’t ask.) Pix, Trinket the Gypsy… it goes on. I had a LOT back in the day.
5. Tea… unless it’s a really good coffee.
6. In moderation… and not really on clothes. Accessories, yes. I like sparkles better. 🙂
7. Hmmm… I love my velvet fedora (whaaaaaaat!) but my Greek fisherman hat is pretty freaking sweet too. It’s literally called that. I joked that my grandma should get me one a few years back, when she got one for my little cousin, and she totally did. It was weird, but it’s so cool.. alright, dorky.
8. Yeah, I’m short, and look younger than I am (23) so I used to be able to get away with getting kid (12 and younger) prices on movies until I was like 16 or 17…. although it works inversely. I get carded all the time, and older people have asked if I stole my sister’s ID. My sister is 18 lol.
9. Sleep. But that’s cause I’m so tired. Swimming in a heated pool. Yes.
10. Finish my English research project on The Tempest BEFORE Thursday, so I don’t have to get up early on the day that it’s due. Sleep, my friend. You need it. Like you need a bagel, or possibly a sandwich. Is it late enough to consider lunch, if I didn’t have more than a piece of toast for brekkie? No… hmmmmm. Blahhh. Wow, I’ve gone insane. More caffeine, stat!
Hi Molly,
I’m so jealous of your Nepal trip! That’s on my travel dream list. 🙂
1. Mood: Pretty good! 🙂
2. What was your best vacation ever? My honeymoon. We went to Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Rome.

6. Do you do sequins? No, but I’ve been known to have a hat, shirt of jeans with some “tasteful” crystal accents.
7. Your favorite hat? My Ovechkin ball cap.
8. Have you ever lied about your age? Not on purpose, but like you, I’ve forgotten it!
9. What would you do with one free hour? Right now, I’d run. I need to step up the workouts this week.
10. Weekly goals: Um, step up the workouts? 🙂 No. Seriously. I do.
I can see you and my BFF Cindy totally having a snack food moment. She’s not into chocolate, either. Give the girl some cheese and bread and she’s GOOD!
I’m really grateful that I’m not a sweets person because if I added that to the salty, cheese, bread thing I’d have to grease myself up to get out the door! No amount of running could counter that! 🙂
1. Mood: Tired. Had the last 5 days off so I had trouble getting to sleep at a decent hour last night!
2. What was your best vacation ever? A couple of years ago we saved up enough hotel points to be able to do a trip starting in San Francisco, Napa Valley and then travelled all the way down the Pacific Coast Highway to Disneyland! It was a lot of fun.
3. Are you a chocoholic? Yes-but it has to be really good quality.
4. Do you have a nickname? No, not really.
5. Coffee or tea? Coffee-but I can only have one shot of espresso a day because of some meds I am on that react with too much caffeine and that really sucks.
6. Do you do sequins? Strategically when the occasion calls for it.
7. Your favorite hat? Don’t really do hats,
8. Have you ever lied about your age? Nope. I am 43 but apparently don’t look it- sometimes people think my 17 year old and I are sisters.

10. Weekly goals: Try to exercise at least 3 times, get a flu shot–and GOING TO SEE HARRY POTTER #7 AT MIDNIGHT THIS WEEK!!!! SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!

Weekly goals: Be as cheerful as possible!
Hi Deirdre,
Sounds like your week is off to a good start! 🙂
So, tell me about your new jeans! I always find it so hard to find a good pair.
They’re dark wash, I think dark is always way more flatterring and they’re super skinny so I can tuck them in to my boots. 10% student discount on them as well, 😀 so they weren’t too expensive, I really hope they don’t go baggy!
Oh, nice! Any time you can get a discount in is good. 🙂
1. Mood: decent but feeling like a slacker. I’m a huge procrastinator!
2. What was your best vacation ever? This summer the boy and I went for a romantic weekend in Door County, WI. It’s so gorgeous, and the open space and awesome roads make for great cycling!
3. Are you a chocoholic? Yes! Dark or milk, depending on my mood.
4. Do you have a nickname? Lisi, or Lisipoo when the boy’s feeling silly
5. Coffee or tea? Both!

7. Your favorite hat? I don’t really wear them. I love my earmuffs in the winter.
8. Have you ever lied about your age? Yes, but I usually tell people I’m older! I’m pretty young for my field so people sometimes judge me for my age, even though I have plenty of experience.
9. What would you do with one free hour? Right now, nap!
10. Weekly goals: Finish this d*** paper, have fun with my mom (who’s visiting for the weekend), and get cracking on my new project.

2. What was your best vacation ever? St. Croix….My honeymoon. Best seven days off EVER!

My Monday is incomplete without Le List!
1. Mood: stuffy & achy- my sinus is creeping us on me
2. What was your best vacation ever? Will have to say my honeymoon not because it was my honeymoon but because it was in Italy!
3. Are you a chocoholic? Used to be, not as much. I do enjoy dark chocolate every now & then
4. Do you have a nickname? Actually, yea! Ru is a part of my nickname. In my culture, we are assigned nicknames, they are the name that your family and closest friends call you. You also get your proper or “real” name as they call it, and that is the name they call you in school, at work, on your official papers etc.
5. Coffee or tea? Both
6. Do you do sequins? no
7. Your favorite hat? I don’t have a hat head 🙁
8. Have you ever lied about your age? No
9. What would you do with one free hour? Sleep
10. Weekly goals: Plan my diet
Hi Ru,
Le List wouldn’t be complete without you here. 🙂
That’s cool that nicknames are part of your culture. Who assigns the nickname? Do they usually mean something?
Close family or the parents assign it, and it usally means nothing (no family connection or anything). Like mine means nothing but it’s cute, and some of my foreign friends have even come to know me by this name. It’s sort of a lost thing now, because assigned nicknames no longer stick, and new arbitrary nicknames get assigned. For an example my lil sister’s assigned nick name was Nova. But no one called her that, we called her a shorthand of her real name. My dad calls her Nova sometimes but that’s because he picked that name 🙂
1. Mood: I’m doing okay. In a course today, and its going slow. Otherwise, I’m doing well.
2. What was your best vacation ever? I’d probably have to say when I went to Jamaica.
3. Are you a chocoholic? No. But sometimes nothing beats a solid peice of semisweet chocolate.
4. Do you have a nickname? Nea.
5. Coffee or tea? Both. Depends on the day. Love me some peppermint tea.
6. Do you do sequins? no. Not a sequins girl 🙁
7. Your favorite hat? not really. I do have a favourite toque though. (does it give my canadian location away?!)
8. Have you ever lied about your age? I don’t think so. Or at least not on purpose. I like to permanently believe that I’m 21.
9. What would you do with one free hour? Today? read. My book just got super amazing.
10. Weekly goals: Get through this course! Enjoy my week, but don’t spend too much money.
Hi Linnea,
I had to totally google “toque.” We call those beanies!
1. Mood: excited, next week is Thanksgiving and the holidays put me in a jolly mood
2. What was your best vacation ever? in 2002 my mother-in-law died in late October. my husband stayed out west at her house getting things in order for weeks afterwards. when it came time to get ready for Christmas, there was just no time for planning and shopping and decorating. so we took the kids to Disney World for Christmas! no presents just fun fun fun! I remember being in the pool on Christmas morning, when back home there was 2 feet of snow!! what a great carefree trip that was.

9. What would you do with one free hour? I’d really need a massage for my back.
10. Weekly goals: Nothing special this week, I’m trying to cope this darkness we have now.
Hi Rita,

1. Mood: Pretty awesome. Had a great time with the BF this weekend and photographed 14 dogs at the shelter yesterday afternoon! 🙂
2. What was your best vacation ever? Gosh, I don’t really do big vacations – we go and visit family for the most part. I’m dying to go somewhere tropical for once! (Half the family is in Norway, the other half in New England.) I guess a summer trip I took to Maine with my mom was pretty kick ass – just the two of us, drove from Boston to Maine and back again with stops for whatever we felt like. 🙂
3. Are you a chocoholic? Sort of, but not nearly as bad as I used to be! I’m a Libra, so I need balance – if I have a bit of chocolate, it makes me want something fruity or sour to go with it.
4. Do you have a nickname? Several, but most of them rely on pronunciation. 😉
5. Coffee or tea? Can I say espresso and tea? Don’t really drink regular drip coffee ever.
6. Do you do sequins? Very lightly. Definitely not the whole outfit!

2. What was your best vacation ever?
Best vacation so far was in summer of 2009. Me and many members of my family went to NYC for a family wedding have a few extra days to spend in the city and it was one of the happiest times I had in years. We had free accommodations, the wedding was in the Hamptons and it was a joyous occasion! All around awesome!
