Thank you for the tag! I love the idea of being on a book tour in five years. And I've never tried rice pudding! Guess I'll have to :)
ReplyDeleteI love your five years from now list. When you're on the book tour, stop in Boston or Cambridge.

ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
interesting stuff! i like how you've got to answer it 5 times.... because answering it just once just wasn't enough. ;) i am SO with you on the desserts, although i haven't ever tried rice pudding. i LOVE anything chocolate... far too much.... =)
ReplyDeleteGreat post. I truly hope you are on a book tour in five years time.
ReplyDeletePerhaps on your travels you could pop into New Zealand? We could do lunch :)
Come to London on your book tour! I'll take you to Blenheim Palace!
ReplyDeleteAnd hot fudge sundae, yum!
Nice list! I like that you'd want to start a foundation to send underprivileged children to college -- that's wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThat's some awesome stuff. I think I can totally relate to many of those!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tag! I am notoriously bad at these things.
ReplyDeleteLoved your answers!
Mmmm. Lola likes hot fudge sundaes (and banana splits...extra hot fudge)! I don't love the thighs that come with the yummy hot fudge, but it doesn't stop me from eating it anyway.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your tag answers.
Love,
Lola
