My Interests

I like knitting, crossword puzzles and sleeping. I love breakfast foods and staying in my pyjamas all day. I love painting, drawing, sculpting, making necklaces, anything artistic and crafty. I love Strongbow and Malibu rum with pineapple juice. I love Van Gogh and going to the art gallery and museums. I love Tetris and board games. I love cantaloupe, chocolate mousse, popcorn, anything barbequed, corn on the cob, and mashed potatoes. I love trashy entertainment gossip shows and magazines. I love hugs and cuddling and being comfy. I love swimming, dancing and being silly.
