The best part about not having the bulk of your archives on-line? Re-using old photos!
For folks who haven't been around for years, that's Mr. Kite. He and his brother, Henderson, were black mice I used to have. They were quite tame and very nice, for mice. Anyway! I'm recycling a photo because I just needed something to spice up this post, because -- really -- it's a meme! I was tagged by Robin for this five things meme (totally different from the. . . last five things meme).
Five minutes to yourself: how would you spend them, ideally?
By myself? Tucked into bed in the middle of the day, with the sun coming through the window, and I'd be reading something really interesting. I'd have to have the bit of my brain that worries about things disabled, of course. Possibly by a kitten.
Five bucks to spend right now; how would you spend it?
Who gave me five bucks? What is this supposed to be -- a joke? 'Oh here, Anna, here's five bucks. Why don't you spend another thousand and fly to America to spend it?' Really.
If it were five pounds, I'd. . . oh, I don't know. Save it. Yeah, save it. Or buy sweets.
Five items in your house you could part with, right now, that you hadn't thought of already?
The rug in the living room that sheds bits of jute everywhere. But then I'd need a new rug. Preferably one that cost only five bucks, since that's the budget I was given in the last question. Also. . . probably half of my fabric stash, although I wouldn't be happy about it. I don't suppose we need our biggest duvet, which we never use. Bags that I've made and no longer use. And. . . the exercise bike in the hall (shh, it's Rob's).
Five items you absolutely, positively could never part with in your house?
The quilt my mom made for me when I was two (speaking of which, the 'Anna, 2yrs' stitching is wearing away -- what sort of warranty has this got?). My hard drive. The other half of my fabric stash. A thing. And another thing. (I don't know.)
Five words you love?
Not sure about which ones I love, but if repetition counts for anything: lovely, Booty (the Cat), bip, nice, pretty.
I'm not tagging anybody, because I'm tired. And I'm still sore about that five dollars joke.
Don't be sore - your answers were great!

My Dear,
Your quilt came with a limited repair warranty. I believe in fine print it refers to how when you far exceed the skills of the Mother who created it, you have to repair it yourself. However, there is no expiration date on The LOVE That Went Into It warranty.
