Re: I'm bored... random poll
Highlight of the weekend? Doing the little kids' train ride around Montmartre/Pigalle yesterday. Two weeks into my parents' visit, I actually found an activity that was enjoyable for both them AND DD.
WFD? My parents just left this morning and I have no will to plan anything for the rest of the day or even week.
What's your next holiday destination? Good question. The only thing planned for sure right now is Pamplona in July. But we're trying to get away sometime during all the May holidays here.
Favourite kind of shoes? Boots. For this reason, I can't live in climates that are hot year-round, as much as I love the beach.
What are you reading? Lots and lots of novels and manuscripts for work, three Spanish authors, one Mexican, one Cuban.
Do you have photo booth photos with your SO? Do tell. Old-school photo booth or computer/Iphone/whatever stuff I see people keep posting on FB and whatnot? Back in New York, I have old school photo booth photos saved in a box from when DH and I were in college.
*edited* What's the word for "hello" where you are? Bonjour.
Highlight of the weekend? 2 - a funny hen night & hanging out with Tofu & her gang.
WFD? BBQ chicken plus fixins
What's your next holiday destination? Paris
Favourite kind of shoes? High heels, though I don't wear them a ton...I just think they are pretty!
What are you reading? Dragonfly in Amber
Do you have photo booth photos with your SO? Do tell. Nope
*edited* What's the word for "hello" where you are? Hello...then again, it's more likely to just be a nod.
Highlight of the weekend? Friends from Kansas who happened to be driving to Sweden from Italy stayed at our place on Saturday night; it was very spontaneous and awesome.
WFD? No idea; I just found out I have gestational diabetes, so I guess I need to see what the Internets say. (I am going to a dietitian tomorrow)
What's your next holiday destination? I'm hoping we can get back to the States (Florida and Kansas) in September. Shorter term, we'll probably end up visiting my husband's family in Austria.
Favourite kind of shoes? Non pregnant: Chucks. Pregnant: Anything that doesn't require bending over.
What are you reading? Childbirth Without Fear. Do y'all detect an overriding pattern here?
Do you have photo booth photos with your SO? Do tell. We did some at a mall years ago in the States with little America flags in the background. We thought it was hilarious. Or should the answer be something sexy? Because if so, then the answer is hells no.
What's the word for "hello" where you are? Hallo. But in Frankfurt dialect, you can also say "Ei Gude!"
Highlight of the weekend? Hung out with the super awesome xnickerx on Saturday, then Sunday, had a three hour skype date with the DH, who is back in the US for work.
WFD? sweet potato and...something.
What's your next holiday destination? Norway fjords for Easter! Super excited!
Favourite kind of shoes? Merrell Barefoot or Clark's Privo line.
What are you reading? 50 Shades of Grey
Do you have photo booth photos with your SO? Do tell. Nope.
What's the word for "hello" where you are? I usually just toss a "Dag" out there...which means "day" literally. Basically, it's just "good day" when you walk past someone.
I always think it's interesting to see what part of the greeting gets dropped in what languages. In Spanish, you can just say "buenas" as hello in some places, instead of "buenas tardes" (good afternoon), but you would sound like an oddball saying just "Good" in English. "Morning!," however, is perfectly acceptable.
It was sunny and warm. In Edinburgh. All day on Sunday. That is practically a highlight of my life.
WFD?
Baked marrow with cheese and mushrooms and mashed potatoes.
What's your next holiday destination?
Going to a wedding in Shrewsbury and to Hay-on-Wye in a couple weeks and then to another wedding in Portugal in June.
Favourite kind of shoes?
I'm seriously into dolly flats right now. I walk a lot so can't cope with heels unless it's a night out.
What are you reading?
The Plague of Doves by Louise Erdrich
Do you have photo booth photos with your SO? Do tell.
No :-(
What's the word for "hello" where you are?
Hello. But a lot of people start conversation with 'allright?' instead of hello.
BFP Apr 2012, EDD Dec 19 2012 * twin h/b at 6wk, 9wk scan * Baby A lost at 12wks, Baby B was my rainbow born at 36wks
