~Persuasion (BBC Films version, starring Amanda Root and Ciaran Hinds)

~Los Angeles, California

Four TV shows I Love
~The Sopranos

Four Sites I Visit Daily

~Go Fug Yourself (I’m being honest here--this is a guilty pleasure, but these two women are hilarious--http://gofugyourself.typepad.com/)
~Confessions of a Pioneer Woman (on my sidebar)
~Postsecret (okay, this only updates on Sundays, so it’s really once a week, but I’m addicted, so I had to put it on my list)

Four Places I Would Rather Be Right Now
~reading on my back deck
~overlooking the Pacific
~San Francisco
~Paris

Four People I Am Tagging (also stolen from Bellezza)

I would definitely include hot fudge sundaes as a category for favorite dishes. It's fun to share omelettes, The Sound of Music, and a few other similarities. I'd love to visit Yosemite, I've never been. Actually, my knowledge of the States is not as good as Europe; I have some catching up to do! It was really fun to read your answers. Thanks for playing!

bellezza--Yosemite is worth a visit, if you get the chance! And I'm desperate to get back to Europe, but have to wait until my youngest travels better--she's a toddler and just getting across the country to visit her Grandpa is taxing, to say the least. Thanks for asking, I'm glad I played!
