Its sushi time...
One of the biggest drawbacks to living in the stix is the lack of good restaurants nearby...a few are really good, but unless you like Mexican food, Mexican food and, uh, Mexican food, you're kinda outta luck...I feel guilty driving into Austin just for lunch, but I have been craving sushi for weeks...weeks, even! So, I think today would be a good day to indulge...such an exciting life I lead!
I've been 'tagged' a couple of times now with the 'list' thing - you've probably seen them - "Name your top 5 favorite vacation destinations", "What are your favorite books", "What superpowers would you like", etc. etc...I never got around to answering them cause I just forgot, but I'll do it today...
Angie tagged me with the '3 things I couldn't live without' -
1. I like my car...i'd have a hard time w/out having a car, although I drive it very little...but I enjoy having a nice car that I am proud of...i even looked up personalized license plates for it and "Vampir" and "Vmpire" are both available (as is 'donner')...Which one should I choose? (I was leaning toward 'donner' so I can use it on any car I might own)...
2. Animals...I enjoy having animals around..I always have had dogs or cats or hamsters/guinea pigs around me...I like that they are unconditional, they have various personalities which crack me up, and they are pretty easy to take care of...I can't imagine not having at least 1 cat, dog or something fuzzy in my life...birds, fish, snakes (even tarantulas, which I had two) are all good, but I like fuzzy, squeezy kinds of animals...
3. A creative outlet...that sounds weird, i suppose, but all my life I've had some means of being creative...drawing (which I'm not great at, but cartoons I'm fairly good at), calligraphy, painting, sewing, stitching, silversmithing, beading, torching, mehndi, knitting, and various other things I've done throughout my life...I have to do things with my hands...reading is great, but I need to make things...paper plate bean shakers...macaroni art...glittered pinecones...it doesn't matter, I have to have some means to let this stuff out...
there ya go...kinda weird answers I guess, but its what I can't live without...If I was picked up and dropped on the other side of the world, I'd want these things to make me feel like 'me'...and there you go...
