A Few Things About Me Me!!!!!
I was startled to realize that I had not posted for over a week. Life has a way of getting in the way of some things.
I wondered what I should blog about, as I am again out of practice, so I thought I would steal the idea from MizBohemia’s resent questionnaire post. I cannot promise that I will be as amusing or insightful as our MizB’s., however, I will have a go at it.
1. What time did you get up this morning? 7:30 as always. I get up to the smell of coffee and breakfast that my Dear Husband, has ready for me. Yes, I know I am a lucky woman and I hope that my male readers don’t feel the pressure....ladies, we have been married for 35 years and I made him breakfast for many of those years so lay off your man....he is doing alright.....however, he will see here what the possibilities are :)
2. Diamonds or pearls? Hmmmm!!! how come I cannot have both? I love both.....I also love silver jewelry and I love to make my own beaded jewelry.
3. What was the last film you saw at the cinema? I don’t remember.....I think it was “Ray”

6. What is your middle name? I don’t have one......I used to give myself one and once I used Lisa......you know Mo’a Lisa......well I thought it very elegant, until people started laughing and then I became Mo’a Kim.....but that did not fly either, so I gave up, until I got married then I used my maiden name as my middle by hyphenating my last name.......then some time later that became fashionable.....me the vanguard, boggles the mind.
7. What is your favorite food? I love ethnic food Mexican, Indian and Icelandic are my favorites.

15 Comments:
i'm only part way through your list... so i'm not gonna leave a comment. but, since i am reading, i will be back tomorrow, and then i probably will leave an actual comment in reaction to that which i have read--which i haven't read, as yet. (and if any of that makes sense, you're a much smarter woman than i, for i have no idea what i just said!) : D
[i really will be back tomorrow, i promise!]
i do know this... i'm gonna stop leaving those cutsie happy faces, 'cuz they always seem to get cut in half! nite-nite! ^_^
I love that you did this LovaMo'a! I love getting to know you better!
I wanted to be an actress for so long... probably still do to a certain degree...
I love Indian food (although I cannot have it too spicy!) and have yet to try Icelandic food...
I looooveee silver jewelry too...
I love cabrios! It used to be my dream to have one but instead I had a huge, ugly and old station wagon and then a freaking Dodge Aries and was in heaven when a tow truck guy told me he would have never though of me as a Dodge but as a red Cabrio! What a compliment! ;-)
You should do memes more often! I love getting to know more about my dear and fabulous LovaMo'a! See? There are so many things we always have in common! Is it the Icelandic in me, I ask? :-)
And me number three with the silver jewellry. i donæt have a single golden piece, me thinks!
Lovely list and you WERE funny!
Neva: I will be looking for you comment.....it is a lot to read ^~^
MizBohemia: I have been rather reluctant....I am learning to be more open :) Silver jewelry rocks. I even have my favorite jewelers from Iceland, their store is Jens and my friend and his daughter are the jewelers for that store....they also have a store in Copenhagen on the Stroget, called Smak.
My Cabrio is sand/champagne and black.....now my Miata was "Arrest me officer red" :) another car I loved....I bought it shortly after they came on the market.
Minka: Another silver jewelry fan...you should go to Jens in the Kringlan and check them out....maybe you already know about them.
I was funny.....good that was what I was going for I guess it worked :)
Well, this seems like a fine time to make my first comment here and learn about Ms. Mo'a Lisa. Howdy!
Interesting...brave...and enlightening!
I know you're kidding about Mondays...with you on the ice cream choice...admire the bargain shopping (did you see that Neva?..I kid, of course).
doug: I see that you are not immune to a woman's tears :) Welcome, Mo'a Lisa very, very, happy to see your doggie face here.
joel: Yes, I thought it rather brave myself....I have not talked so much about myself ever.
Well you know Mondays are Mondays.
first, dear Mo'a, i'll comment on your last remark, only to let you know you are anything but slow!! i'm not sure anyone really knows what a meme is... oh, in theory, perhaps, but i've read so many different versions (all good/fun) who's to say? is it pronounced "meeeem" (rhymes with dream) or is it pronounced ME-ME (which is what i thought when i first saw the term) in which case, if you accept the "tag" are you writing about YOU-YOU?? (for the record, it is pronounced "meem", rhymes with dream). i don't know! but you? slow?? never. i think, perhaps, you're a lot like me, and i like to consider myself... careful!
as i expected, you just become more & more interesting with each detail you reveal about yourself (much like the ever delightful Miz B!)... and, not that i'm interesting at all, but in a few areas, you and i have much in common (shopping aside, if you're to belive my husband--who doesn't understand that i love to shop for bargains... when i shop. but i don't like shopping. which is why i wind up spending a lot for stuff, because i don't want to work too hard to buy the stuff i want and/or need!)
perhaps the biggest shocker for me was reading that your bathroom is gray and white....and (in your own words) dull! i imagine you as someone who thrives on vibrance & color... and gray & white don't quite fit in with my mental picture of you!
as for your funfun car? i love your car...and i'm sooo glad the weather's cooperating enough for you to actually enjoy having that top down--especially since you can finally drive again!!
this was a FABULOUS list -- based on what i know to be a FABULOUS and genuinely FASCINATING woman!! (again, i truly understand why you and Miz B are such good "friends"... you seem to be kindred spirits...i've noticed that special people have a way of attracting other special people into their lives, clearly that's the case with the two of you!)
and, yes, Mo'a this post was pretty dang funny, as well! it was a great read! thank you!
hope your weekend is glorious : D
Mo'a I was just being coy and waiting for an invitation.
By the way, the painting at the top is spectacular.
Neva: *Blusheblush* Wow!!!
I am like you I don't like to shop so when I do I get truck loads....on sale to be sure....so Ken is like Joel thinks I shop a lot :)
As for the bathroom I am for sure painting it a more flatering color....you are right I love color....in my last house my bedroom was orange, our entryway purple and the living room and family room yellow.....In this home I have a touch of red in almost all the rooms.
I love my car, however, I may have to sell it and get a bigger car as my Parents cannot both get into this car and I take them shopping etc. as my Father has stopped driving at the moment we have his Honda at our disposal also....but he will sell it this summer.
That you think I am interesting and funny is a great compliment to me :)
Doug: I hope to see you here often, you are always most welcome.
MizBohemia chose the painting for me and I agree with you it is spectacular.
Thanks, Mo'a. It's nice to steal one of Monika's friends.
Hi again Mo'a :-) I loved reading more about you.
I think I'll tag myself and borrow this meme. I enjoyed reading it at Cowgirl's place, then at Miz B's and now at your place. Its a real pleasure to slowly see an internet friend, piece by piece, and finally the picture begins to take shape!
Hi LovaMo'a! Just popping in to say hi! This bohemian misses her Icelandic LovaMo'a! Hope all is well and sending many kisses your way!
I'm still not sure what a meme is. Oh well!!!
