  1. I would agree on the favourites issue- there are things that I like at the moment, but favourite is so definite.

    I have three passports, from three different continents.

    1. Lois McMaster Bujold
    2. Kage baker
    3. Diana Wynne jones

    1. The Melting Pot! Woot!

      Is it (what is IT?) better in the Bahamas?

  4. So interesting! I also struggle with "favorite." I couldn't pick a favorite book if I tried. That picture scared me at first because I thought it was someone in a creepy suit until I realized it was a sculpture... :)

    Three Random Things About Me:
    1) I have margaritas out every Friday
    2) Three of my "favorite" authors are Margaret Atwood, Jenny Lawson, and Ann Patchett
    3) I don't like any red in the garden -- pink, burgundy, and a tiny bit of orange is okay, but NO RED. Sort of weird.

    1. Yes, one of Chicago's many public art pieces. It think it is called, "The Swing" - fun piece. :-)

      No red? Fun fact-cool.

      I don't have any red either, but by happenstance, not design.

  5. Jobs:

    1. grocery store cashier
    2. grape picker
    3. piece worker (sewed zippers into Johnny Carson suits)

    And I also don't allow any red or orange in my flower gardens.

    1. What a variety.

      Is there something about red (or orange) that is garden taboo or is it a personal aesthetic?

      Enquiring mind . . .

  6. Oooh, I love your list, and I'm loving the comments too.

    Three drinks:
    1. NZ Sauvignon blanc
    2. Fresh lime juice from Thailand
    3. A frozen mango daiquiri

    PS. My red camellia is flowering in my garden at the moment, and it is beautiful!

  8. Fun! I love reading these! And, what a strong feeling red flowers have for a bunch of people. Weird.

    My three are jobs:
    1. Cowboy (ranch-hand, but cowboy is also accurate)
    2. Field biologist (botanist for Forest Service)
    3. Gorilla-suit-clad balloon bouquet deliverer (what? it was money!)

    Thanks for the entertainment, Deb!

    1. Isn't it?

      Why am I not surrised by the cowboy (or the gorilla-suited balloone bouquet deliverer? LOL

  9. This was so much fun to read!! I just stumbled upon Rosemary & Thyme a few weeks ago when I didn't turn off the TV right away after Midsomer Murders & I really enjoy it. I'm a speeder but not one of those ridiculous nutjobs who cuts in and out of lanes. I'm a huge sports' fan & hate when they put the game you're watching into a little screen & show you other games or a guy they're interviewing for 20 minutes right in the middle of the game. I kept track of how many different Olympic sports I watched. It was 60+

    1. Awesome facts.

      I bumped into Rosemary & Thyme quite by accident as well.

  10. I am so with you on losing things and waste. And okra.

    This was a fun read.

  11. Ha! Oldsmobile Delta 88 my dad used to have one of those! I drove it once and backed it up into the drainpipe on the side of the house. Ah, the good old days!
