Well, I am quite late on a tag I received, literally, last year. Technically I am only 4 months late, but it was at the end of Dec 2007. Although my friend, Luisa, had decided not to tag anyone, my smart-alecky comments caused her to make an exception. (Lucky me.) ;-P
Seeing as this is my first meme on this blog, giving you just seven completely random things about me seemed a touch odd. So I decided to give it a theme; lemons.
Seven things about me relating to lemons:
1) One of my very favorite scents is Lemon!
It wakes me up (atleast to the extent possible on the amount of sleep I get), It makes me smile. It is such a happy scent. -- Not candy counter kind of lemon, freshly scratched lemon peel kind of lemon! (Closely followed in preference by the scent of a bowl of fresh nectarines.)
2) This is the background image for my profile on our laptop;
3) I think Lemons are like sunshine in the form of fruit.
4) So far, my very favorite lemon candle is Henri Bendel's lemon Verbena- I found mine (on-sale) at Bath and Body Works.
If you know of any other really good lemon candles, let me know!
5) This is my FAVORITE recipe for lemon bars! (thanks again, Luisa)
6) Somewhat recently my daughters and I have developed a patronage to CVS drug store's Essence of Beauty Line in the Lemon Twist scent. -don't be confused with the Citrus coconut scent - it is NOT the same! Don't accidentally grab the sunflower one either- the packaging is VERY similar!
Note: I was excited to see that both the bath gel and the hand soap contained citric acid (the nearly vital ingredient for any good lemon product) until I found that most soaps on the market contain citric acid. Oh well.
7) I have had the ability to bite right into a lemon slice since about the age of 3, and often do. (much to my dentists' chagrin)
There you go, 7 things about lemons and me. I now tag Mary, With a Y and my sisters, April and Holly. (sorry, my sisters both have 'invitation-only blogs') Oh, and no you are not required to give it a theme, unless you want to.
PS: Apparently "soon" = just shy of a month
