And now, lots and lots of answers for all of you, my lovelies.

From the lovely, lovely Mare:
1. If you ever have a daughter, what would you name her?
Natasha Rae, but I would call her Tasha. Rae is my middle name, and the way I ended up with is is that both of my grandfathers had the middle name Ray and since all my grandparents had odd names aside from that middle name, my parents decided to pass on the middle name instead. And so a long time ago, I decided any child of mine would have the middle name Ray/Rae. But then I got older and more selfish and decided I never want to have children so maybe someday I will have a cat named Natasha Rae. Or a dog. Or a rabbit. Or a duck.
2. What was the most thoughtful thing done to you in the last week?
Kevin did some laundry for me last night. That was pretty thoughtful. He does laundry for me on a pretty regular basis though, which is AWESOME. I am a spoiled, spoiled girl.
3. What's the best compliment you ever received?
I once had a friend turn and look at me and say "If I had enough money, I would take you to a plastic surgeon and ask him to give me your nose." Another time, the woman giving me a pedicure commented that the skin on my legs was softer than the skin on her face. And she actually had very nice skin so that was a nice compliment. Those are the two I have remembered the most.

These were from the fabulous Amanda, who NEEDS TO COME VISIT SAN DIEGO:
1. How many books do you usually read in a month?
Lately, I'm lucky to get through a few pages of one. I used to get through at least 2 a month but lately pretty much the only things I finish are my monthly Cosmo and Glamour issues. And even those usually get read by Kevin before I get to read them.
2. What is your favorite flower and why?
Stargazer lilies, because they're beautiful AND they smell lovely when I have them in the house. And gerbera daisies, because they're such happy flowers.
3. If stranded on an island and you could have one thing that your normally carry in your purse what would it be?My ChapStick Lip Moisturizer in Vanilla Mint. I adore that stuff. There's SPF in it, there's moisturizing stuff in it, and it's yummy smelling. I have one in my purse, one in my make up bag and one in my desk at work. And on a desert island, I will definitely be needing some lip balm.

Sharon (who left no URL) gave me these ones:
1. snowstorm or thunderstorm?
THunderstorm. I love the sound of the rain outside my window almost as much as I love the sound of distant thunder.
2. If you could be spend one day as a character in any book, who would you choose?
Scarlett O'Hara, just to see what it's like to a) have a 16 inch waist and b) wear her dresses.
3. My mind is a blank.
Mine too.

The ever so awesome Bozoette Mary asks:
1. Is that the most beautiful ring ever?
I certainly think so. I never posted better pictures of it so here's a couple that show the details. It's a small, fiery, perfectly faceted and mounted solitaire diamond set in white gold. The setting is like no ring I've seen in stores now, which is why I specifically told Kev that my mother's engagement ring was the one I wanted.
Up close and personal:
On the hand:
2. Is the Julian Grill still there? (I ate there once!)
According to Yahoo it still is. I'll have to check it out the next time we are up there, the review sounds great. Of course, I have yet to eat at a bad restaurant in Julian. Something about the mountain air makes it taste good.
3. Where are we taking you guys for dinner?
Kev already answered but yeah, definitely The Butcher Shop. Come hungry for steak and a good glass of wine, and save room for dessert.

And my doppelganger Measi wanted to know:
1) Your favorite summer girly drink (alcoholic or otherwise)?
Sweet tea, definitely. When it's hot and sticky, the best thing EVER is a tall glass of perfectly brewed tea sweetened with real sugar while it's still warm and then poured over ice. But for alcoholic ones, definitely the Vallarta Especial at Cas De Pico in Old Town. It's like...a strawberry daiquiri combined with a pina colada. Mmmm.
2) Where were you (and what were you doing) when you realized that you loved Kevin?Hmm...that was a looooooong time ago. I think I was actually in my car, listening to some song or another after one of our visits when it just kind of hit me all of a sudden (and like a ton of bricks) that I was madly, truly, definitely in love with him.
3) What types of flowers should I put in front of the house?
If the house gets enough sun, definitely some hydrangea bushes. I love hydrangeas in front of white houses. And some tulip bulbs and maybe some paperwhites....things that will come back every year without too much work.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
And last (but never least) The Jason asked these burning questions:
Q1; What would you have been named if you were a boy?
Robert Ray (see above to see the why of the Ray). And since my family is Southern, I'm sure I would have ended up being called Bobby Ray for the rest of my natural life.
Q2; Kirk or Picard?Oh my God, totally Picard, hands down and no competition.
Q3; why?
Sexy, sexy voice. Gets me every time.
So there you have it. Answers galore! And now it is raining and House is on and also, am tired. G'night.
