Meri's Musings

Some things you might not know about me: 1.   My two signature fragrances are Hanae Mori  for daytime and St. John for special occasions. 2.   My favorite brand of shoes is Arcopedico -- pure comfort! 3.    I have an HGTV obsession and a secret crush  on Mike Holmes. Guys who can fix things are sexy. Photo from HGTV.com 4. The last book I read was The Swan Thieves  (a fun read even if not the most erudite book on the planet). 5. The last film I saw was "I Am."  I loved it, but I wish he hadn't scrimped on stock footage.

So I need to tell you six more little known things about me. 2. I got to attend a film makers' breakfast hosted by Robert Redford a few years ago. (and his Levi's were 30/30s if I remember right  and yes, ladies, he had a great tush). 3.  I have an addiction to books and should never be let loose at Amazon.com or Powell's Books in Portland. 4. I made my living writing for six years, though at the time I considered it "practicing law." I did legal analysis and wrote decisions and orders for the Department of Energy's Office of Hearings and Appeals in Washington, D.C. (No clients, except pro bono ones, and possibly the world's most boring set of legal regs.) 5. Right now I have two malfunctioning HP printers. 6. I was really bummed when Dreyer's discontinued Ultimate Caramel Cup ice cream. 7.  I sometimes dream of things before they happen.
