Ella's Meme

Ella created a great meme and I really enjoyed doing this one. I'd love to hear everyone's answers.

Take a look at your walls at home. Which picture/object is your favorite and why? Bonus points if you post a picture.

Nick is a great photographer. On our first trip to the Outer Banks of NC, almost thirty-three years ago he took this great sunset from the dunes, it hangs in our living room.

What is/are your favorite perfume(s)?

I never wear any.

How many pairs of shoes do you own?  Have you ever hidden new shoes from your spouse?

Now I’m going to differ from most – I have about fifteen pair, flip-flop sandals and tennis shoes mostly. I hate shoes. I have some flats I wear on Sundays. So no, I’ve never hidden any.

Snacks - Sweet, Salty, or Both?  If you could choose 1 snack, and it magically had no calories, what would it be?

I really need both and a lot of each. I love Ruffle’s chips! So much that I rarely buy them because I’ll eat them all. I take one of each salty and sweet for the no calories – the chips and Krispy Kream donuts!

What are your favorite cut flowers?

I love irises.

Without using a real name, describe one person in your life with whom you have a hard time being patient.

I’ve mentioned him before – Mr. K one of my partners at school. We used to have real problems and then we were forced to work together. Things have improved slowly. He can still annoy me, but there are times I’m almost fond of him.

What food do you love that your spouse hates?  What food does your spouse love that is "yecch" to you?

I like mayonnaise – Miracle Whip to be precise. He would rather it not be allowed in the house. I feel the same way about mustard! Can this marriage possible last?  

What is a song you associate with meeting your honey?

Jim Croce’s Time in a Bottle, it was sung at our wedding. My mother was a little worried about that. She said, “I don’t know, that sounds like a drinking song to me.”

Do you have a favorite movie that you like to watch every few months or once a year?

I have several but I love Mama Mia for a real feel-good film.

What collection(s) do you have?  How did your collection start?  (Add a picture if you like.)

I don’t really collect anything, but I sure do manage to keep plenty of ‘stuff.’

Where would you like to go on your next vacation?  Is there somewhere else on your Bucket List?

I want to get together with blogging friends again.  Nick and I have also talked of going to the coast of Maine.

If you could only buy clothes at one store, at what store would you shop?

As I said clothes and shoes are not my thing. I mostly go for comfort, Kohl’s is fine.

What gift(s) from your spouse have been the most loved and appreciated?

Nick spotted and bought the paddle shown in my masthead when we went to CA to meet blogging friends. I love the fact that he got it for me it’s beautiful, but I can’t say it’s always appreciated!

Name one item of your spouse's clothing that you would love to throw away.

His old shoes that I keep tripping over because they are usually half way under the bed.

What is the submissive action (or inaction) of which you are most proud?

I don’t fuss – not about real things. I never raise my voice or disagree with him in public unless we are both teasing. I don’t know if this is really submission or just my nature.
