I enjoyed reading your answers as much today as I did in 2007, and now I'm off to random.org to give you a letter for the 2014 version. Thanks, as always, for being willing to play. And if you draw a letter X I'll give you a redo. :)Bellezza https://www.blogger.com/profile/18073864187188953633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-68951773557322667752007-02-15T13:23:00.000-08:002007-02-15T13:23:00.000-08:00Karen - It'll be interesting to see if this holds ...Karen - It'll be interesting to see if this holds true for my next list.<BR/><BR/>Wendy - Thanks for the recommendation.

I may pick a letter every month and try to come up with 10-13 items to write about. Obviously some will be more challenging than others, but it <I>is</I> a nice way to add some variety to my book blog.<BR/><BR/>Iliana - Glad you enjoyed the post. And after thinking about all my favorite Mexican foods, I just remembered another! I have a wonderful recipe for Pork Carnitas that I plan to make this week. Delicious.<BR/><BR/>Wendy - Oh! I forgot Nora Jones while making up my list. I listened to a podcast the other day that focused on her new album. Sounds like it might be one I need to download. Oooh, I love that cobalt blue mixer! But most of my kitchen stuff is green (Chantal pots, pans and tea kettle), so I'd better stick with that.<BR/><BR/>Heather - I seem to recall a conversation about Minis and VW Bugs. I've always thought of them as "kissin' cousins" and would love to have one of each. :) BTW, I've had two carseats in the back of my Mini and there's plenty of room for those little ones' legs (although once they get a little older, it might be a tight fit).<BR/><BR/>Kay - I wondered how many people caught it! Glad you did! :) I was thumbing through the book to see how to spell "mawidge" and wound up reading several passages, cracking up the entire time. Such a funny book & movie. Glad you enjoyed the meme.<BR/><BR/>Lotus - You would love Mahjong and I bet your girls would, too. It's so much fun and not difficult to learn. I like the fact that you can play and chit-chat at the same time. I need to call my girlfriends and set up another game night!<BR/><BR/>Glad you enjoyed my meme. I may do another next month. :)<BR/><BR/>Bellezza - I'm glad it was worth the wait. ;) I loved reading all your comments back to me, especially the one about marriage. And I do hope, someday, you'll be "allowed" to own a red Slug-Bug! ;)<BR/><BR/>I would love to discuss Middlesex with you when I'm finished. I'm absolutely captivated by the story! Not at all what I expected (not that I have any idea what I thought it'd be about!).<BR/><BR/>Di - I've actually been reading about your Snail-Mail Sunday on your blog and have written a few notes to various friends. Just haven't added my name to your list. It's a great idea.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-31339408814421715982007-02-10T08:28:00.000-08:002007-02-10T08:28:00.000-08:00p.s.

Some people have jumped on board...but I have really been having fun with it.

I gav...Well, my friend, it was so worth the wait!!! I gave you "m" for a very selfish reason, because it's the first initial of my real name. I absolutely loved what you came up with, particularly Music, Mahjong, Mini-cooper, and Marriage. I love the music you do, and would add to your list Nora Jones. James Taylor brings back lots of memories of my son's father when we were in college...I've always wanted to play Mahjong. What a great picture of the real set! I'm envious you know how. Your car has always thrilled me, especially the size and color. I wanted a red VW Beetle and no one in my family will "allow" it because it's small and therefore, to them, impractical. Oh, you also said Mail. Truly, that is one of God's gifts. While technology is nice, real letters are better. My mother and I would send real mail to each other too, and I'm sad to see it replaced, mostly, by emails. Finally, marriage. You speak of your marriage to Rod in such glowing terms I am truly happy for you. Not many people can say, and mean, the sentiments you express in your beautiful marriage. Thanks for posting a fabulous response to my tag; I loved reading every line.Bellezza https://www.blogger.com/profile/18073864187188953633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-18877250617554883412007-02-09T16:33:00.000-08:002007-02-09T16:33:00.000-08:00Les!
