4 Things You May or May Not Know About Me

My dear friend, Joanne, sends me these chain-letter emails, knowing that I'll never respond to her! But, this time, I am (albeit with edits)!

Four movies I would watch over and over:
1. Amelie: oh my goodness, I love this movie!
2. The Road Home: I cried my eyes out watching this movie in the theatre for the first time. Very embarrassing for the people with me.
3. The City of Lost Children: quite weird movie, but amazing visuals.
4. The Dish: the scene with the American national anthem cracks me up every single time.

Four TV Shows that I watch:
Ok, so I think this is a terrible question, so I'm going to change it to:
Four books I would read over and over:
1. Animal Farm, George Orwell: greatest book of all time.
2. Perfume, Patrick Suskind: beautifully written, creates beautiful images with words.
3. The Harry Potter series, J.K. Rowling: obvious choice!
4. Travels with Charley, John Steinbeck: one of my favourite writers. And it has a dog. Of course I love this book!

Four places I have been:
1. Havana, Cuba: walking along the Malecon (sea front) at sunset, hearing the salsa music playing in the homes across the street...
2. Bangkok, Thailand: haggling over designer knock-offs in the street markets.
3. Venice, Italy: wandering around the streets and alleyways, getting completely lost but loving it.
4. New York City, USA: one of the best trips I've had, because I was with a great friend, Carol.

Four of my favorite foods:
1. Southern biscuits: so unhealthy, but so good...
2. Australian lollies: I miss these so bad: licorice bullets, Minties, Pascall chocolate eclairs, Allens snakes, pineapples, etc, etc, etc.
3. Thai curries: this dinky little town does amazingly have a Thai restaurant. Trouble is, it's a 30 minute drive from our house.
4. Chinese noodles: if they're cooked right, they're amazing.

Four places I would rather be right now:
1. NOT AT WORK!
2. NOT IN AUGUSTA!
3. Diving in the Caribbean somewhere
4. On Dustin's family farm, sitting on the porch with a cool drink, watching Bonnie run around the fields chasing butterflies

Four things I am looking forward to this year:
1. Getting my hair back after chemo (it's already starting to grow!)
2. Going around the country with Dustin for his residency interviews
3. Our third anniversary
4. Christmas!
