So here goes - 11 random things about myself

1. I had hepatitis when I was six years old
2. I was a big fan of Duran Duran in the 80's. My favourite was Nick Rhodes (the keyboard player), I can still remember all sorts of trivia about them such as their dates of birth...
3. My dad was killed in a car accident the year I turned 21.
4. I love the original Planet of the Apes movies.
5. I have an irrational fear (phobia?) of snakes.
6. My siblings are 16 and 13 years older than me.
7. My careers of choice when I left school were journalism or acting - my English teacher thought I had a good chance of getting into NIDA so she helped me prepare a piece for my first audition...but my parents decided I should go for a "safe" career.
8. I am older than my husband.
9. During my teens, I wanted to look like Kate Bush.
10. I always get compliments about my hands...a few years ago, a girl I used to work with was getting married and she asked if I would lend her my hands for a close up shot the photographer wanted to do of her ring - I agreed, but her ring was way too big for me.
11. My favourite scent is Chanel No.5

Now for Lizzys questions :

1) Morning or evening person - Evening, although getting much better at early mornings as I get older.


2) How long does it take you to get ready in the mornings? - It depends on what I'm doing...ordinarily, about 15 minutes. Quick make-up, fix hair and spray of perfume and I'm done. I shower last thing at night.

3) What’s your weekly grocery bill? - around $350

4) How much of your grocery bill is whole foods? - around 50%

5) Your opinion of daylight savings? - I hate it!...just as I'm getting used to productive mornings etc...we change time :(

6) Mac or PC? - PC

7) Grab your IPOD and hit “shuffle” – what’s the first song that comes up? Is it a favourite or so so? - OK, so I don't own an iPod...hubby and the girls do, but I cannot be bothered, don't even use theirs.

8) Your favourite blog of the moment? - I'm loving "I will be fit and happy not fat and hippy" by Leonie, a powerhouse 12WBTer who also lives in the Blue Mountains.

9) Favourite pizza topping? - Our favourite pizza place does an amazing "vegetarian deluxe", it has capsicum, olives, eggplant, artichokes and fetta among other vegies.

10) Proudest moment lately? - So hard to say...my girls are continually making me proud...also, our boss commented to me yesterday "he's a very hard worker, your husband" That was a beautiful thing to hear.

11) Your favourite physical activity? - OK, I'll keep it clean...in the gym, it's RPM without a doubt, otherwise it has to be dancing. I'm always the first to hit the dance floor and the last to leave :)
