I've wanted to read Wait for Me!: Memoirs by Deborah Mitford Duchess of Devonshire but I'm 10 books behind, at present. <br />Music - Anything 80's new wave or punk.<br />TV - Trying to get into True Blood, but just not feeling it. I've decided to catch up on Orange is the New Black instead.<br />Perfume - Everything Diptique, L' Eau Trois, Ofresia, L' Ombre dans L' Eau. I'd love to smell the new DSH Scent of Hope.<br />Makeup - As I close in on 50, my skin is doing very odd things, here's hoping I can find a concealer that works without accentuating fine lines.<br />Frequently worn outfit - White jeans, I've finally found a pair that aren't see-through and fit properly.<br />Food - almond banana smoothie and a new favorite recipe for a zucchini, tomato, chive, chickpea pancake (from One Green Planet). <br />Guilty Pleasure - Coffee<br />Bane - Health<br />Joy - I was able to visit with my cousin and her two girls when they visited SF for a squash tournament. I had a blast seeing them and marveled at their sophistication and independence! <br />Anticipation - the day when Smokey and Gino can play together, I'm sure it will be a blast!<br />Wishlist - to find an affordable apartment in SF, not likely to happen soon!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04799815810869706346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-25522929880980048182014-07-04T17:04:54.440-04:002014-07-04T17:04:54.440-04:00nozknoz,

I also have a copy of "In Cold Blood" waiting to be read. At this rate, I will get to it in two years.<br /><br />Music: I rarely listen to music these days and prefer listening to public radio. WNYC is my constant auditory companion.<br /><br />TV: Not much of a watcher, but started watching Dominion on SciFy. Totally surprised myself and finding how enjoyable such schlock can be!<br /><br />Perfume: Always looking for roses. Been stuck on TF Cafe Rose, but always on the lookout for something else.<br /><br />Makeup: Enjoying several concurrent days of no makeup. :) Or no other makeup plus clown cheeks.<br /><br />Frequent worn item/ outfit: loving Eileen Fisher handkerchief linen pieces from last year still. Love the wrinkly, soft drape. Nice with curves.<br /><br />Food: I heated up the house by roasting chicken a la Marcella Hazan. It was great. But now I'm so hot I'm going to faint.<br /><br />Guilty Pleasure: Playing inordinate amount of dopey games on my phone. I think this is the real reason why I can't get through a real book anymore. D:<br /><br />Bane: the hot stickies of summer. hot oven in the summer!<br /><br />Joy: Observing all manner of weird wild animals now that I'm in the suburbs. I figured out it is not the deer eating all my deer-resistant flowers. It's some weird groundhog, woodchuck kind of animal I see galloping through my flower beds with short stubby legs. Sad for the flowers, but enjoying the sightings!<br /><br />Anticipation: a beach vacation to the shore in August.<br /><br />Wishlist: strangely content these days.
