30 Day Challenge – Day 12
Where your family is from
Both sides of my family originate in Italy. Please don’t ask me where in Italy, because I don’t know…maybe one of my relatives will see this and tell me. 😉
My great-grandparents settled in Brockway, PA…then my dad’s parents in Ridgway, and my mom’s in St. Marys. I grew up in St. Marys.* (Ridgway is about 10 miles from St. Marys.)
*No, there isn’t an apostrophe in St. Marys, PA. I don’t know why.
St. Marys is known for being the home of Straub Beer:
And Decker’s Chapel, which I used to think held some kind of record for being the tiniest chapel, but it doesn’t:

Favorite outfit
I am certain I have no photos of myself in this…but lately, my favorite outfit is a pair of gray sweatpants and a navy blue hoodie.
Apart from that, I just bought this adorable little dress from Land’s End:
Er, I can’t seem to grab the image, so here’s a link.
I got in in navy blue, and last week, I wore it with a  red cardigan. Very cute. 🙂

I love the violets, flowers of spring-
I love the message that they bring…

Pictures of your room
I don’t really want to take pictures of my bedroom, so instead, here are some pictures of my classroom!
30 Day Challenge – Day 7
Favorite TV Show
Really?
I love TV. In fact, there’s a 30-day meme going around that’s ALL TV that I might have to do when this one is finished. But in the meantime…
There are so many things to love about The West Wing. I had a hard time choosing a scene to post, but I do rather like this one where Ainsley Hayes meets the president for the first time.
I love this show. I love the writing. I love the characters, and the actors who play them. I love the blend of drama and comedy. I love everything about it.
I have lots more to say about TV, so I think I will be doing that other meme. 😉

Favorite Song
Okay, this one’s just impossible…so I’m going to go with “That, For Me, Is You”  by Jim Boggia, the song Rand and I danced to at our wedding.

Favorite Food
Again, I’m not sure I can come up with a single favorite food…so I’m going to post about two of my favorite meals. These are things I will never pass up an opportunity to eat!
#1 Chicken Muglai at Taste of India (or India Gate)
I *always* have it with naan. Sometimes, I get appetizers…I especially like the paneer pakora and alu tikki. Yum…I’m getting hungry just thinking about it! Indian tea makes a great addition to the meal as well.
#2 Bulgogi (barbecued beef) at Woo Chon Korea House in Williamsville
I like to get the mandoo gui (dumplings) as an appetizer, even with all the other stuff they bring out!

- Speak
- The Handmaid’s Tale
