Diwali is my jam!

Not really. But my girl and her friends call everything their jam so I thought I’d get in on the action.  Even though every time I try to use the word I think of actual jam. Raspberry to be specific.

Anyway – it’s Diwali. The Indian “festival of lights”. A cross between Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s – without the turkey, booze or guy in the red suit. It’s the most important holiday for Indians. It involves (you guessed it) lights, lots of food, getting together with family and friends and being thankful for the good things in life. Sound familiar?

This ends my knowledge of Diwali. I think I did pretty good. Please refer to the internet or a good Indian for actual information.

Happy Merry Mazel Diwali!!

Danke

Liebster is German for beloved, favorite or darling.  It’s also a blog award – who knew you could get awards for public rambling?  Well you can. And I did.

A big thank you very much to squirrelcircus.wordpress.com for thinking of me.  You shouldn’t have, but I’m so excited you did. Could it have been pity for my pathetic day yesterday? Maybe.  Maybe Liebster really means you-poor-sad-fool-you-need-this-badly.  I’ll take that too.  All of you should check her blog out – it’s funny, smart and sassy.

Per the “rules” I have to answer the following questions.  I love an award that forces me to be even more self focused and self obsessed.

Favorite quote, and why? 

“Demented and sad, but social” — The Breakfast Club

I don’t know why.  I can recite the entire movie with no explanation too.  Every time I meet a really messed up person at work or at life – I always think of this line.

One thing about you that people wouldn’t assume by looking at you?

I have a mini obsession with Jay Z. No. Not with Beyoncé. With J.  Nuff said.

Would you rather forgive something said about you or verbally lash the person who said it?

I think I would say I forgive – and others would say I lash out.  Tomato – potato.

Something about you that makes you really proud

Easy.  The two little Scorpios that rule my world.

A single favorite book you wouldn’t mind reading twice or thrice. Why?

hmmmm. Does a really long Vanity Fair article count?

One person whose death would change you? Why?

One person? There’s a list of people whose death would derail me for all the human reasons that you can imagine.

What’s that which you desire the most from life?

Happiness and safety for the aforementioned Scorpios.

Your favorite word.

Yes.

Beauty comes from ______ ?

wine colored glasses.

Five things that life is about.

In this order: laughter, family, friends,  cheese, and chocolate.
