I was excited to see that Ashley over at Chronicles had tagged me in this fun post! I'm in a big Poirot reading phase right now so I'm loving the mustache plus mustache puns make me giggle. I originally meant to have this up on Tuesday but somehow that turned into Saturday!
Four names people call me other than my real name
1. Mom
2. Mrs. P

Four Things I Don't Eat
1.Goat Cheese (because I'm allergic and got badly allergic about 4 years ago. I love the stuff but can't eat it)
2. Shrimp (ditto goat cheese)
3. Mushrooms (because they're squishy though I don't mind the actual flavor)

Four Things I'm Looking Forward to This Year (2015)
1. Emma's graduation (though that makes me a little sad too)
2. Paul getting his driver's license so I'm officially done driving the older group around
3. Going to The Sing Off concert next month because I love the show and can't wait to see some of the acts in person
4. Switching bedrooms around which I think may give me more room for books!
Four Things I'm Always Saying
1. "Are you serious?" Between the teenagers and the Tornado this comes up a lot!
2. "You don't have to say everything that comes into your head." Ditto above
3. "No part of me wants to know." This is normally said to teenagers
4. "Text when you get there and be careful" pretty much anytime any of the teenagers leave the house.

1. Lisa at Books. Lists. Life.
2. Trish at Love, Laughter, and a Touch of Insanity
3. Literary Feline at Musings of a Bookish Kitty

I'm a huge Dr Who fan, and the Big bang theory too ! And I'll soon be watching Stalker. I've been to Ireland and England, such fabulous countries ! It's a fun tag with a wonderful mustache :)
ReplyDeleteHa, I love this tag. I would definitely rather be in England or Ireland right now too! And The Big Bang Theory is a lovely show. I haven't watched the newest season though, am very much looking forward to that.
ReplyDeleteGreat list. Isn't this a fun post? Adds a personal touch to let our readers and fellow bloggers get to know one another better. Thanks for participating. I'm adding Murder on the Orient Express to my TBR list. I have a classic month coming up in my Stretch Your Imagination Challenge. Might be just the right choice.
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun post - and I learned so much about you in the process!
ReplyDeleteLOL I would so go to Ireland or Key West right now too. I'm done with the cold. lol Bummer on being allergic to a food you love. That stinks!
ReplyDeleteSo fun to learn more about you, Katherine! I love the things you always say. I don't say the first three too much anymore since we have an empty nest, but I still ask my kids to text me when they're going someplace. And when they arrive!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have believed this was you without seeing crime brûlée. Also I'm not sure gift shop worker and bookkeeper are descriptive enough.
ReplyDeleteThese are such fun posts and so nice to learn more about you. I will happily eat your olives (black, not green) and your mushrooms (cooked, not raw). :D
ReplyDeleteLike you, I'm done with the cold. Book con in Key West! NOW! :P
What fun! The Hiding Place is really good, isn't it? And I won't eat shrimp either. Thank you for the link. I look forward to filling in the blanks!
ReplyDeleteLove this, great fun and good to read your film and tv and food likes as well as book recommendations!
ReplyDeleteEeep! So behind in my blog reading so glad I caught this. :) And OMG Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken!! I totally forgot about that movie. Loved it when I was younger.
