A while ago I was tagged by
April for eight things.
Here are the rules:
(1) Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
(2) People who are tagged need to write a post on their own blog (about their eight things) and post these rules.
(3) At the end of your blog, you need to choose people to get tagged and list their names.
- My favorite ice cream is Vanilla and I love it when it comes with hot raspberries. Unfortunately my body doesn't deal well with dairy products anymore and that's why I can't have it very often.
- I like the scent of freshly washed clothes, especially bedding. The best ever is, when I can have a bubble bath or a hot shower in the evening and then crawl into my bed covered with recently laundered bedding.
- I like to cook and even more when I have a bunch of friends around my table enjoying what I've prepared.
- Sometimes I have the bad habbit of picking my finger tips around the cuticle when I watch a movie that is really thrilling or grabbing my attention so much in any other way that I am like a part of it.
- Being at the sea is something special to me. I remember a vacation I spent in Italy; we went to the beach every other day to relax from sight seeing tours across the country. The most impressive was one evening I spent at the beach when it was already dark but still warm. The almost full moon was shining on the water, leaving a silver band there. I think I was sitting there for almost an hour, just watching the moon and listening to the waves.
- I don't like celery. I think it is the only kind of vegetable I don't eat because if I chew it, it tastes like soap in my mouth. The funny thing is: In general the taste of celery is a MUST in some soups and sauces (like Bolognese) and if I don't bite on it, it doesn't taste like soap for me. So here comes the trick: I grate the celery so I won't bite on the pieces but I have the taste of it in the dish.
- I like to sleep at night with an open window. I even don't like shutters because I love to be woke up by the sun. Problem: I live in a city and my bedroom window faces a big road and I don't want to sleep with the smell of exhaust gases. So I keep my window closed. And since the time I read an article in the newspaper that it is much better to have the shutters closed during night (at least during cold seasons) to keep the warmth inside (and so reduce the energy costs), I do close it, too. Only solace: it is wintertime and if I waited for the sun to wake me up it would be way to late for me to get up, anyway.
- I love to take pictures (not at least to share good shots at my blog) and I've got this great new toy called cellphone. I always say it should better be called a camera that also can telephone. Check it out here. I really don't want to miss it anymore.
Ok, here we are, I did it. Now I have to tag somebody else and I choose Stefanie and Allison.
