When I woke up this morning my guy gave me this surprise gift. A monogrammed microfiber bathrobe. It’s super soft and cuddly. I could stay in this all day. He is good at this.. giving me unexpected gifts.

I got up and made special birthday breakfast of ham, cheese, bacon and tomato filled crepes. Yum! And there’s my beloved Tabasco sauce.

Just a week ago, my style icon, Silje in Norway and my queen of dry wit, the author of observationmode, enc in Southern California tagged me for ’11 things’. Thank you, ladies for this fun tag!

  1. Clothes Shop: Anywhere interesting.
  2. Furniture Shop: ikea. We moved around a lot so we never bought anything expensive except 8 white chairs from Italy which can be viewed here.
  3. Sweet: Dark chocolate with nuts
  4. City: Paris
  5. Drink: Water (Brita filtered)
  6. Music: Hotel Costes I have all ten CDs and I just found out that they were releasing the 11th.
  7. TV Series: Stargate It was a difficult one choosing among so many shows I love inc. Dr. Who, TopGear and House. We don’t actually have a TV connection so these are watched with no commercials often on DVDs or as AVIs.
  8. Film: Sense and sensibility
  9. Workout: Running on a crosstrainer
  10. Pastries: anythiny really
  11. Coffee: No coffee but peppermint tea, please.

I would love to hear your 11 things. I’m tagging
you all so if you haven’t done this before, give it a go!

    Thank you, both.

    Hey Franco, sorry if I confused you. I often change my mind after publishing a post.. like I didn’t have those photos of the gift and the crepe at the time..still I didn’t know that I was getting a gift. My tendency is not to expect anything. :)

    Yes, I do live in Australia so there was a time difference factor as well. :)

    Have a good one Dude!

    Happy Birthday my dear!!!!
    Sounds you had a wonderful time on your B-day ;)

    Great gift and yummy breakfast, well I would take of the ham and the bacon, since I’m vegetarian.
    How great to know more about you ;)
    I also like Stargate and I forgot it when I did this meme.

    Dark chocolate with nuts…. where is it, where is it?????? I want some please ;)

    Congrats on your 100th!!!!!

    I’m getting curious about bloglovin´ some european bloggers already talked about it, but I don’t know if it’s worth…
    Is it???

    Do they give us chocolate? (just joking dear, you know)
    Keep smiling
