Oooooh! She Got Me....

Sass e-mum at One Strangely Lush Mother got me with a tag.
Perfect since it's November (and I'm struggling for content), don't you think?

A) Four places I go over and over:

• crazy. ok, fine I'll behave. I like to go to car boots or auction houses.
  
• Kids' school, several times a day-- do I have the good life or what?
  
• Local church once a week for a coffee morning (even though I don't drink coffee).
  
• Tescos (when it's not crowded because I sometimes suffer from trolley rage).

(B) Four people who e-mail me regularly:

• Summit Entertainment, but I'm not speaking to them right now.
• My Husband. Sad really, he sits in one room, I in another and we converse that way. We're practicing for his deployment.
• Facebook. People are always throwing things at me. I don't get it. I threw an octopus back once, but it left a mess.
• Isn't that four? Do you want to email me?

(C) Four of my favourite places to eat:

• The Cottage Place in Flagstaff Arizona 1996 (they could be rubbish now, so I want to clarify when it's my favourite). How sad is it that I can't come up with four places to eat...? Oh I know why, I have four small children that would go with me and then it's not enjoyable. Besides, I cook pretty well for a woman with a toddler attached to one leg.

(D) Four places you'd rather be:

• Warm, in my bed, why do I fight it?
  
• Living in the great house we found but now probably won't be able to move into since the Hubby is going to new places.
  
• Uh...
• this is harder than I thought it'd be.
  

(E) Four TV shows I could watch over and over:

• Dr. Who,
  
• Grey's Anatomy
  
• Ghost Whisperer (because the Hubby and I like to make fun of it): Ghost: "Tell her I'm sorry that I never took her on vacations and if I could go back, I would spend more time with her and the kids." Melinda to the Ghost's wife: "He says he loves you". That's not what he said, does she have a hearing problem?!
• Coast. Love touring the Coast of England and since I have a terrible memory, each episode feels like a new one to me.

(F) Four people I think will respond:

Hah! My brain begins it's evil plotting... paybacks. Hmmm, Flea, The Color of Home, Snooty and Cheshire Wife-- but I'm NOT telling them, let's see if they notice.

Thanks for the chance to leave my brain behind, S!

Dyln tagged me last week (I'm slow, I know-- you should see me return phone calls)

Here’s the rules:
1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages).
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people.

The nearest book. Gee, I have so much to choose from here by the computer...NOT. I have a homeschooling book that is awaiting postage to go to Tara, The House at Riverton, that I enjoyed so much (and trying to decide who I love the most and will get it next-- unlike the movies I send to my son--flops or scary things) and The Reduced History of Britain (The story of the World's greatest little nation squeezed into 101 moments). I think the latter is the closest, so here we go:

The British public has tuned in each week in its millions and more people vote in reality television finals than in many elections. The democratisation of fame or just a way for desperate and untalented people to get famous by getting drunk on a sofa? You decide.

It's written about Big Brother. The show that monopolizes several stations here, 24-hours a day. I am not kidding. If you're a masochist, you can tune in to watch people snore. It's like the Truman Show, but so not funny. The greatest thing about this show is during the summer it gets me and the kids out of the house. All winter long I can watch every version of Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility (and BTW, the most recently aired 2008 BBC version is fantastic), and a new one, Lark Rise To Candleford. Last week I saw Anna Karenina and before that, Elizabeth. I can't be bothered by fresh air and exercise with so many good things on the telly!
