And I don'...Hey, you never came to HI, either! And I don't mind food shopping, either. I kinda like it, too. Even or maybe even especially when I take the little guys with me. And I think that it is hilarious that you tried to convince your mom to adopt an African brother to avoid problems! How the child's mind works, right?Mama Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01658505477619300328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4826465069863298721.post-3878209811275452332011-10-22T08:33:30.204-04:002011-10-22T08:33:30.204-04:001.

I don't like to clean up the house. Really. I don't.<br /><br />3. We are not fluently bilingual in my family. I do my best for my English and Tanie does speak Spanish but she has not spoken for a while. And even Lise is bilingual! She now speaks French too! 'Mamama…' 'Dadada…'. My parents and one of my sisters do speak English. Maybe someone is able to count to three in German...<br /><br />4. Our starting family is small but Lise takes a big part of it. My father's is big as he has 4 sisters and 4 brothers who all have at least two children which give me 27 cousins that side. My mother has two brothers and one sister and I have 6 cousins this side.<br /><br />5. I love cheese especially blue veined ones and smoked meat. I am a whisky enthusiast, and particularly Islay which are lovely peated, and also sweet Tennessee even if I can perturb purists... I think the only thing I do not like is snail.<br /><br />6. My sole ultrasound was for my ankle. Sorry...<br /><br />7. When I was young, as my two sisters were sometimes bothering me and letting me apart of their games, I wanted to have a brother. In order to prevent any problematic difference of age, I proposed my mother to adopt a black brother.<br /><br />8. I do not care about my future baby: another girl or a boy would be great. I do not know why but that would be fine to have two girls whereas I would prefer not to have two boys. Now hat Lise is here, it should be OK for the next one. Just hope there will not be twins...<br /><br />9. I love to drive. I have learnt very early as my mother also did very young. She loves to drive and I think she gave me this stuff. I now have an old strong station wagon from a French brand. I do not really care about it except the drivetrain and the engine and that is fine as I only use it to go to the office (and to do shopping in Leroy Merlin). It has 200 000 miles and it is said to reach twice this mileage. I love it cuz it is very comfortable with its hydropneumatic suspension still used aboard Rolls-Royce cars! Well, I still mourn my Miata sometimes…<br /><br />10. I love to travel. I love to get out and try new things and see new places. My great dream is still to visit Alaska… An old plan…<br /><br />11.

CONGRATULATIONS on the baby boy...wish I could have another for my boy as well, but not happening. :STonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06239079132342501762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4826465069863298721.post-30902104360603884992011-10-19T14:27:59.808-04:002011-10-19T14:27:59.808-04:00I looove onions!

Browned with butter, it is perfect in Breton crêpe served with ham, mushroom, egg and cheese...<br />I really recommend you to fulfil your tenth thing.<br />;-)Brammatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15253079445590891996noreply@blogger.com
