I didn’t ever think I’d be one to get into memes and such like but I just love the Wordplay game that everyone seems to be in on right now (thanks to Laume) . I love words, so every time I read a list on a blog it starts me thinking about my own. Watch out, bandwagon, here I come…
A is For…
A……A : THREE of my favourite women in the whole world have names that begin with an A and end with an A - my mother, my daughter and Amanda, who has been my friend since we were five years old.
Applique : one of my more frequent activities! Most of my quilts are appliqued. I love it because it’s just like collaging with fabric instead of paper.
Art : has always been important to me, but about ten years ago I realised just how important it was and started making more of an effort to include art experiences in my life daily. I make my own and I try to surround myself with other peoples art, too. My definition of art is a very broad and inclusive one.
Air conditioning : wouldn’t have been on my list two years ago but was a condition that I imposed on moving to North Queensland. I LOVE IT!
Animals : love them, as long as they live with someone else and I can visit! I’m at that point in my life where my children are becoming independent and the last thing I need is another baby even if it’s a furry one (and, no God, that is not a test).We’ve had cats, a dog, rabbits, birds, fish and a rat. I loved the dog and rat the best(oh and a couple of the cats but they can be pretty snooty).
Answers : I hate not knowing. When I was a kid, I would eavesdrop and comment on Mum and Dads discussions. Dad would call me “Noddys Friend” (who for the un-Enid Blytonned of you, was called Big Ears)
Attics : never had one, always wanted one. Houses in New Zealand rarely have attics, but when I was a kid it seemed that all the best action in movies and books happened … IN THE ATTIC!!! I so badly wanted to be scared witless by SOMETHING IN THE ATTIC!!! or find some extraordinary treasure IN THE ATTIC that was worth millions of dollars and had been left there a hundred years ago by an old resident who was now a ghost. OOOOOOOOh goose bumps!
Acceleration : I LOVE going fast. I LOVE roller coasters. But I figured out that what I really love is the acceleration. The faster and more powerful the better. Gimme G’s baby!
Acid green : one of my favourite colours. Also known as frog pond green.
Alone time : essential for my sanity!
Amelie, American Beauty and Alien : three different movies but love them all. What’s not to love?
Amazons : I always dreamed of being six feet tall. Don’t know why, just did. I stopped at five eight, but my feet didn’t hear the “Enough! Stop!”

Other A - words that I love the sound of : aeroflot, akimbo, Alabama and Adirondack.
This was actually quite hard to do. I think I’m more of a “B” girl…
