My dearest Witch,

 

I have started a new entry because that last one was so long! I hope this makes things easier for you!

 

Love,

Your Witchee

 

Very important question: Are you planning on buying anything off your BPAL and/or other wishlists during the round? No, I will not. I have a witchee to spoil! I did update my BPAL list, though.

 

I wonder if my witchee would like a blanket type thing. Would you? I love blankets! It may be too heavy to post overseas, though.

 

What's your favorite "I know it's bad for me but I can't help myself" treat? I have discovered these things in the UK called Flapjacks. They are a buttery granola bar type thing, quite thick but soft, and the top part is dipped in Belgian Dark Chocolate. It is oh so bad for me but oh so good! Not too sweet. They are made fresh at our local grocery store and I have to speed by the bakery counter so I don't get one all the time.

 

If you could have dinner/drinks/coffee with any 3 living people that are not your family/friends already, who would they be?

 

Terry Jones of Monty Python fame. He is a medievalist, like me, and we could be very geeky together.

Tori Amos because she is intelligent, quirky, and her music has had such a huge impact on my life.

Margaret George, who is one of my favorite authors. I have read everything she has ever written and I would love to pick her brain about future novels.

 

If you could bring back any TV show from cancellation what would it be? I don't watch much TV, but, I did really like Six Feet Under. It came to a natural end, but, it was quite good.

 

What one (or two, if you really must) BPAL bottles are you most longing for? The new forum only baby celebration scent, Lady Lilith, and Ichabod Crane.

 

Favorite animals? Dogs, hedgehogs, owls

 

Funky chocolate? Yes, of course! The Pumpkin Spice chocolate sounds so good! Although, no bacon. Ick!

 

Tarts?

Sounds good!

 

Say, witches, I have a question about birthdays: do you expect/rely on other people to plan birthday outings and activities?

No. People have never planned a birthday party for me (other than my parents). I am just used to my birthday going quietly by.

 

What think you about receiving tea accessories and/or miscellany (like mugs, cups, saucers, strainers/filters, honey, natural sweeteners [like stevia])?

A nice mug and filter would be lovely! Honey and stevia would also be fantastic! I use stevia with my detox tea.

 

Munsters or Addams Family, y'all?

Addams Family! dadadada *snap, snap* dadadada *snap,snap*

 

What's your ringtone?

Tori Amos Precious Things. For my husband, it is Brave Sir Robin from Spamalot (his name is Robin).

 

If you have pets, is there a SPECIFIC toy they like to play with; brand and size? Is there a treat/cookie they eat? What brand and size?

Marley and Bailey adore their Planet Dog earth bouncy balls (the smallest ones). They are finally starting to fall to bits after 3-4 years of use (and that is because the big dog got a hold of them). I have been contemplating an order, but, they have to go to my mom first because the International Shipping is so high. Great products and they donate money to no-kill animal shelters. Buster loves his Planet Dog bone. It is the big one, but, he took it with him to the park and buried it. We have no idea where it is. Silly dog! I think they might be getting new toys for Christmas. Treats, well, they like pretty much anything. Greenies are their favorite, but, they are expensive, so, please don't shell out for them. My mom sends regular installments of Greenies and they finally showed up here. Otherwise, they adore biscuits. When I lived in the states, I would often make doggie biscuits myself, or, if I was short on time, I bought them from The Barkery, which was just two towns over. They loved the Cheese and Peanut Butter ones. Wow, I spoil my dogs, don't I? I should probably just start making my own again.

 

Burned CDs/ DVDs / &c.

Sure!

 

What is your favorite thing to do on a cool fall day?

Take a long walk in the woods or go apple picking. I love the outdoors in the fall. I will definitely miss my New England fall this year.

 

Honey? I love honey! Especially flavored honey. I remember getting these honey sticks in the fall. You snap the end off and eat the honey straight away. Mmmmm, tasty!

 

Pirates: Love the concept and the Pirates of the Carribean films. I like the skull and crossbones thing, too!

 

Dia de los Muertos: Love it! The art, concept, everything! I grew up celebrating it, so, I hold it pretty close.

 

Nightmare before Christmas:

Jack rocks my world!

 

Sending melty stuff:

That's fine. It is getting pretty cool here now, so, no too much danger of things melting beyond repair.

 

If candy is sent, would you prefer small amounts to a Halloween sized bag?

Small amounts, please. A Halloween sized bag would make the postage too expensive (and it would make my husband too excitable-ha ha).

 

Do you like floral bath soaps, shower gels, etc?

Some florals work really well on me, but, only when they are balanced with something spicy, it seems. I am still newish to this, so, I am sure there are some out there that might work. I do lean more toward citrus and green smells, though.

 

How do you feel about trinkets?

Trinkets are fun!

 

What do you think of Irrelevant Disturbing and Surreal Crawdad Dream? Love it? Hate it? Kicking yourself for not getting a bottle?

I have it and have tested it. It smells great, but, it always makes me want blueberry muffins or blueberry pancakes. Not good for the weight loss efforts.

 

Do you play a musical instrument?

No. My husband plays classical guitar. I can plunk on the piano. I do sing, though. I was classically trained for 9 years.

 

Has anyone tried ice wine before? Do/did they enjoy it? It is really tasty! It is really expensive, though.

 

What other perfume companies (besides bpal) have you been curious about? A couple of the Possets are intriguing and some of the Arcanas. I do love my BPAL, though.

 

Does anyone here do anything with grave rubbings? If I could find big enough paper, I would have them matted and hanging all over the house. Nothing is cooler than medieval grave rubbings (or Victorian, Restoration, etc, etc).

 

Would you enjoy art based on original Graveyard photography? Yes, I would. I am morbid like that.

 

What's in your Netflix or Blockbuster queue, do you want any new Netflix/Blockbuster friends, if so how do we find you on there? We don't have those here in the UK.

 

What makes you stand out from the Switch Witch crowd? I don't really know. I'm not as interesting as all these fabulous people.

 

Legwarmers? Arm warmers? Leg warmers, no. Arm warmers, YES! I live in the land of being cold all Fall and Winter. It always seems to by my arms that are cold, too.
