* How was your week? Hectic.
* List three things that make you happy: Snow, jewelry, nail polish.
* What are you wearing on your nails today? Chanel Kaleidoscope

* Boots: Do you like them ankle, mid-calf, knee or thigh high? Usually about knee height. I’m going shopping for a pair of Hunters tonight because it’s getting icy out. Yeah, I’m pretty excited.
* What is your favorite lotion to combat dry, itchy skin? Origins A Perfect World Intensely Hydrating Body Cream. It’s not the cheapest, but it’s fantastic. The body wash that goes with it is nice too because it keeps your skin from getting so dried out in the shower to start.

* If you could go back to ANY period in time right this minute for 24 hours, where would you go? urgh . . . tough one. Maybe I’d head to Austin or the Haight during the 60s/70s and go listen to some good live music.
* What book are you reading? I’m finally getting around to reading Son of a Witch. And I’ve been flipping back through The New Kings of Nonfiction during my commute.

* Boots: Do you like them ankle, mid-calf, knee or thigh high? Ankle. They do not make boots that fit my calf. Not even the ultra-super-mega wide ones. My calves are very wide in proportion to the rest of my leg and muscular so they don’t squish – just the way I’m made.

Dori´s last post…My Top 20
Got to run, but just wanted to say I LOVE Zachary’s too!! I always get a pizza with the italian sausage (amazing), pesto, and mushrooms. Yumm!
* How was your week?
Well, let’s see, I’ve been cooped up in my house since before Thanksgiving with a horrible case of bronchitis, had to call the doctor on Monday and Tuesday begging for more/better meds, still coughing like nobody’s business… it’s been a great week

* What are you wearing on your nails today?
Illamasqua ‘Scarab’, so gorgeous!

Only my Charlie Brown tree that I ordered last year, had to have it! Not to be a downer, but I haven’t put up a tree since my Mom passed.
* Boots: Do you like them ankle, mid-calf, knee or thigh high?
Any but thigh high, probably mid-calf for most of my boots though.
* What is your favorite lotion to combat dry, itchy skin?
I actually have oily skin, but my hands get dry in the winter from all the washing, I use Lubriderm Advanced Therapy Smoothing Lotion mostly, but I have about 20 different lotions all over the house to use whenever I think to grab one.
* Are you a Chicago style (thick, stuffed crust) or New York style (thin, fold-able) pizza lover?
Either, depends on what I’m in the mood for. Actually, when I’m in Chicago (going in 2 weeks!), I usually get the thinner crust there as well, but they cut the pizza into small squares instead of the usual triangular slices. I love Chicago pizza!
* If you could go back to ANY period in time right this minute for 24 hours, where would you go?
Hmm… never really thought about it, maybe the early 50′s, just to see what it was like when my parents were kids. Otherwise.. probably the 20′s.
* What book are you reading?
Nothing right now, too sick and too much other stuff to do with the holidays and travel coming up.
* Any fun weekend plans?
If I can ever kick this horrible cough.. I’m supposed to go over to my bestie’s house tomorrow and help decorate her Christmas tree with her and her kids and her nieces and nephew, should be fun if I can make it!
* How was your week?
Traumatic. I had to write both a 12-page paper (with footnotes and references) and a 6-page paper. The former was due on Tuesday; the latter, Wednesday. I was up until 3 AM typing both nights and crabbier than the Grinch the next day.
* List three things that make you happy:
Zena, House, MD, and fuzzy things.

Yes, I’ve had it up since the day after Thanksgiving, as per tradition.
* Boots: Do you like them ankle, mid-calf, knee or thigh high?
Mid-calf or right under the knee. NEVER thigh-high; thigh-highs are for prostitutes.
* What is your favorite lotion to combat dry, itchy skin?
Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Fragrance-Free Dry Skin Hand lotion for my Hands. For the rest of my body, I’ve always used Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion.
* Are you a Chicago style (thick, stuffed crust) or New York style (thin, fold-able) pizza lover?
Neither. I prefer mine with a middle-sized crust with no stuffing. I like Pizza Hut Pan Pizza in cheese. No toppings, no stuffing, no extra sauce or cheese. Nothing. If one piece of pepperoni touches my slice, I won’t touch it.
* If you could go back to ANY period in time right this minute for 24 hours, where would you go?
The Victorian era.
* What book are you reading?
Nothing, I’m to study for my finals.
* Any fun weekend plans?
Studying for my finals, an eye appointment, getting my bangs trimmed, and singing at my choir concert. I guess that isn’t fun, huh?
* How was your week?
Long, but overall pretty good. I am in school to become a teacher and am currently out in schools for practice. Let me tell you – grade 10s the week before Christmas break are a handful. Some of them are totally lovely though and make it worth getting out of bed for.

CG Ruby Slippers
* If you celebrate Christmas, do you have a tree up yet?

* Boots: Do you like them ankle, mid-calf, knee or thigh high?
I would kill for high boots – but I”m tall with chunky calves so it doesn’t really work. I guess I would go with mid-calf.
* What is your favorite lotion to combat dry, itchy skin?
I’m really into Vaseline Dry Skin. I am trying to use products not tested on animals but I love this lotion too much to let it go. :0) I will say I have pretty tolerant skin though so I don’t know how it would work for really bad itchies.
* Are you a Chicago style (thick, stuffed crust) or New York style (thin, fold-able) pizza lover?
Both? I think I have only had chicago style once but it was really good. I guess New York though overall.
* If you could go back to ANY period in time right this minute for 24 hours, where would you go?
OMG – that’s a brutal question. It’s kinda lame but I would love to go back to the trip I took to Disney World in 2004. That was a good time.
* What book are you reading?
I’m about to start ‘come thou Tortoise’
* Any fun weekend plans?
YES! I’m so excited because I have been working for 12 days straight so this is my first time off in forever. I have a Christmas party tomorrow night, and the rest of the weekend will be spent baking, decorating, shopping, and being festive!
