Four Things


I already posted a word cloud today so I may as well keep with the light fare I'm throwing out there rather than anything actually book related. So here's a meme I saw on Literary Musings's blog and hosted by Books and Chocolate. I also just realized Shakespeare's birthday falls on a Saturday and I already had a post written up for it (supernerd) but didn't consult a calendar and had I, I would have posted it today. Whoops. Whatever, this is better for a Friday anyway.

I'm happy you did this too! I've always wanted to visit the Canary Islands and it sounds like we both have a thing for traditional macchiatos. So tasty :)

The Canary Islands are beautiful! If you get a chance, I definitely recommend it! I also have a major craving for a macchiato right now!
You talked me into it...I've put mine up!

Hooray! I'm off to check off yours!
You've lived in Randolph? I spent more than five years in Morris County (Madison) before coming out to China. How long were you there? I have a few friends from out there.

Get out of here! I grew up in Randolph so I was there for pretty much 18 years, minus a couple years in Morristown. I still go back to the area from time to time to visit friends and family.

Liked these answers. I had a corporate apartment I used a lot in Brookline, MA in the late 90's --nice area.

I used to live in Coolidge Corner and it was by far my favorite place to live in and around Boston.
This is a fun one, I may have to copy it! I'm also a Jack & Coke drinker, or was before I became more of a wine drinker. Nice to read about things other than books actually. What is a fragrance compounder? Happy Shakespeare's Birthday!

I can't wait to see your answers to these! I love learning about other bloggers!

A fragrance compounder takes a formula a perfumer creates and actually puts together the chemicals to make the fragrance or flavor. It was a lot of fun and a lot of smells.
