1) Maree.....really
2) Something bad happening to any of the kiddies. 3) Calgary - because it's at the foot of the Rockies, still a big city, has seasons and is a really beautiful city in a truly beautiful country ------------- |

at the moment I'm kinda partial to green - though blue is a standard fav too My favourite holiday spot was New York - loved the galleries, museums, theatre, shopping and place in general The preteen will possibly be a computer/science geeky related field - the other two...not sure, possibly getting up to mischief on an OE adventuring around the place. I hope that they stay adventurous, kind, smart and funny  ------------- |

Seriously....none of them. My hubby is the coolest - no one, no matter how handsome etc. compares. Yeesh, how corny does that sound! Celebrities that I like though are Clive Owen, Colin Firth, Brad Pitt, Jude Law. Good to see you back here  ------------- |

If you could be anyone for a day, who would you choose and why? Michael Cullen.... three words.... tax, cuts, resignation What is your favourite thing to do in your 'free' time? Watch movies with my hubby - I'm a movie addict. If you could change anything physically about yourself what would it be? smaller boobs please....my cousins used to complain that breastfeeding made their already small boobs pretty much non-existent...I know where they went! They all came to me. With each kid, the boobs have gone up a cup size. GRRRR. If you had a million bucks to spend what would you do first? Drive up to Auckland Uni, armed with about $500 in small coins and load up the parking meters of all of the cars parked around Uni. The students could do with a break...and Auckland City Parking is BRUTAL. ------------- |

Winter comfort food....brussel sprouts. yumm. Boiled up so that they are all mushy and with a little bit of gravy. Soups too - something like a Cream of Cauliflower with Blue Cheese. Summer food...pasta salad....followed by yummy melons (rockmelon, watermelon, pawpaw, mangoes...all good) ------------- |

Heck yes!!!! Not as often as I'd like, but I've been known to spend a couple of hours (and hundred dollars  ) at Servilles getting my hair done. Or had a pedicure...or bought something I shouldn't have...or gone out to dinner with the husband somewhere nice. ------------- |

Ye-hup. Oh yep. Unless fate has something very different in store for me, three is enough. Time to move on to the next phase of raising the kids rather than making more. Bring on the camping trips, holidays together, sports on Saturdays etc. ------------- |

My dark blue men's flannel pj's. Though I try not to wear them out as much any more. The hubby doesn't approve so much. But they are sooooo comfy. ------------- |

Haha.. No, it's nothing dodgy at all
I am an IT geek and have been a member of a geek site for many years (Matt is also a member). We met a couple of times or so at some group lunches. I remembered you posting a pic of him in that thread ages ago and forgot to ask you back then :)
Nope, probably not - cause I was the only girl at the group lunches (not many girls on that website ) and that is the only place I ever saw him. These lunches were a few years ago when I still worked in town.

Complete night owl - I wake up around 8pm and can quite happily stay awake until 4am given the opportunity. Hubby is a morning person...it's just wrong When did you first join Ohbaby?
