Oh my goodness...look at the amazing Le Creuset kettle. I soooooooooooo want one. {This, by the way, is one of the blogs I discovered through Kath's blog roll}
And because I feel like I have nothing to say, I'm stealing the little list of questions too...
1. Describe yourself in 5 words
mommy, wife, sister, daughter, friend
2. What is the first thing you do upon awakening?
Hit the snooze button.
3. What is your normal daily routine?
Hit snooze a few times
Turn the stove on
Shower
Get dressed
Wake J
Turn the stove off
Convince J that we're not going anywhere until she has something to eat
Eat
Pack lunches into lunch bags (and maybe tidy the kitchen in there is time)
Help J get dressed
Brush our teeth
Drop J at daycare. DO NOT leave without reading a story and touching her hand through the window.
Breathe. It's now 8:20 (if we're lucky)
Work. Eat lunch. {Tuesday and Friday go to yoga} Work some more.
Pick J up from daycare
Stop at the grocery store. Hope the fun green truck grocery cart is available.
Go home.
Make dinner unless it's Alex's night...entertain J at the same time
Have dinner
Say goodbye to Alex
Read stories, play with play dough, cut paper into shreds, colour, start dishes
Bathe J
More stories followed by songs followed by good nights followed by a toddler singing, not sleeping
Finish/do dishes
Get lunches and dinner ready for morning
Get oatmeal ready for morning (this is why my day starts with turning the stove on)
Blog, knit, read, watch TV, do a little yoga
Sleep. It should be 10:00. But it's more likely 11:30. Which is why the first thing I'll do in the morning is hit the snooze button.
4. What are your hobbies?

9. Which newspaper do you read?
The Globe and Mail, sometimes the Vancouver Sun
10. What's your favourite book?
I can tell you my least favourite (today). I don't know what it's called, but it's about a brother and sister fighting in the back seat of the car. It's actually pretty funny, but J has no frame of reference for sibling fights and the book distresses her. But she's obsessed. I hid it when she went to bed last night but she had to see it before breakfast. It's all she talked about.

good question. I'll get back to you.

Dad's cinnamon buns
19. Where do you like to go on holiday?
