I absolutely hate that the new must have from Apple, the iPad, isn't so must have (in my opinion). I wish it had a camera so we could all get really hot and nerdy with augmented reality..
Having said that.. I like the iBooks bit. Oh hell, who are we kidding.. I admit it. I like it. I like it lots.
Why yes.. it has been ages since I posted anything other than snappish answers to this site. You don't hate me, do you? I mean.. c'mon.. really? Do you?
Oh good. I'm glad.
The thing is.. I just have nothing very much to write. Well, nothing super lengthy or very interesting, I think. I'd hate to resort to telling you what I had for dinner last night (mince and onions on a baked potato, lovingly crafted by Andrew). You don't want to read that kind of stuff, do you?
I thought I'd give the Formspring question thing a go - but it's starting to annoy me a bit as it's best kept to things like Facebook, don't you agree?
Heck - at the moment, I'm not even a good Facebooker. My mother kicks my Facebookish butt. (She's also started a blog - go there and give her some commentual love - she may still put two spaces after a period / full stop - but she's got a lot to say. Read more here: Across the Hall.
So there you have it.. I'm blank. But I have a feeling I'll be back at some point. Don't lose all hope just yet.

A degree in musical theatre? Seriously? Seriously. Just ask my parents.. they paid for it.

You are the queen of... I am the queen of my own little kingdom in my own little mind on my own little planet.

If forced to wrestle an Alligator for your life would you rate your chances? I'd rate my chances of ending up in an alligator's belly pretty darn high!

What is the most truthful cliche about Americans? That we're loud, selfish, wear white trainers and light coloured jeans all the time.

If you could have a dime for every time someone asked you a specific question, what question would it be? If I could have a dime for every time someone asks 'So, you know this is a gay bar, right' when I'm out and about in Atlanta...
I'd have a lot of dimes.

Have you done anything crazy with your haircolour? When I was going through the end of my first marriage, my then husband hated it when I dyed my hair.
So during the death of our relationship my hair was, funny enough, red, orange, pink, blue and purple.. mainly just to piss him off.

when will my life get back to normal? Your life will get back to normal when you finally let go of that little thing that's been niggling in the back of your mind.
Go - be free.

is "can cook, won't cook" coming soon from the food network channel? i hear they are looking for new shows and ideas. did you submit your name? Ah.. yes. The Barefoot Contessa and I are in talks at the moment to produce a show based on my culinary life. Can Cook, Won't Cook - coming to a small screen near you!
Or not.

What part of US are you from? I'm originally from Atlanta, Georgia. The buckle of the bible belt.

What would your Jedi name be, and what colour lightsaber would you have? I'd have a red light sabre. Duh!
I'm guessing my Jedi name would be Darth Elizabeth .. or Obi Wan Dunne?

When are you going to update this blog? I guess I'll update the blog when I have something to say. I know that I should probably write more often but I'd hate to write stuff just for the sake of writing words. Does that make any sense?
Not that this will post before I'm in the ground.. But hello again from 38,000 feet!
We have 40 minutes left until we touch down at Heathrow. The captain just said that it's -5C there. Uh ... No thanks, that's far too cold for my taste!
If you were wondering as a few people were curious - there were no additional security procedures required at the Atlanta airport nor on board our flight. No fabled 'last hour lockdown' either. Just the same old same old lovely British Airways experience.
Mary Catherine passed 135,000 miles in the air on this flight. I always marvel at that - especially for a seven year-old - and then I remember that I've flown all of them with her plus quite a bit more! My skin dehydrates a bit if I think about it too much.
We had a great Christmas vacation. Hopefully it will be relatively painless getting back to normal. I'm sure there will be jet lag. There's always jet lag.
I hate jet lag.
More from the ground, I'm sure...
Hey hey hey, Internet! Merry Christmas!
Our first morning in Atlanta is just starting to take shape. Okay, by take shape I mean I have two eyes open and I'm doing nothing but goofing off on my iPhone, listening to Andrew's gentle snoozing.
My head hurts.. I'm sure it's due to a lack of coffee. Too bad the closest Starbucks (thank you, handy iPhone app) is seven miles away.
More later..
Hello from 38,000 feet.. We're 5 hours into our flight from London to Atlanta. Of course, by the time in hunt down sine wifi to post this, I will have been back in the homeland for a few hours.
Did you feel a disturbance in the force?
So - back in the good old USA. Hmm. I'm totally stoked to be around family and friends for the next two weeks.
I usually spend a good bit of time while here (well - eventually there) pondering what life would/could be like if we lived in America. I get asked often if we'd ever want to live there and honestly I have no idea.
It's a very different lifestyle and I'm pretty sure I'd be frustrated on a daily basis by the incessant consumerism and other uniquely Anerican things that I find so odd now - like how the weather is the first thing they report in the news...
Now you know what I'll eventually get around to thinking about in the next few days.. Usually those thoughts creep in when I'm suffering from jet lag and the only person in the house awake at 3am. I'll potentially share them with you if you play your cards right.
Right - back I go to watching the airline map cycle through it's six screens of progress measurement. Looks like we're over Newfoundland at the moment.
Oh and yeah - this might've been a bit random and rambly.. I blame the Valium. Speaking of which...! What a difference it makes - see, I'm blogging, listening to music instead of white knuckling. Wheeeee!
There's nothing like taking the time to give someone a haircut the morning you're due to travel 4,332 miles...
The good thing is that we're so packed and ready to go that I had the time to do it. Now a shower and we're outta here!
USA ahoy!
