Getting to know you meme

I think I did this meme before, but OH WELL!

1. What time did you get up this morning? Noon—I slept in today

2. Diamonds or pearls? Diamonds

3. What was the last film you saw at the cinema? I think it was Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End which I saw with Shelley Adina.

4. What is your favorite TV show? Right now, it’s Leverage on TNT. I used to rave about 24, but so far, this season hasn’t been exciting my interest as much as other seasons.

5. What do you usually have for breakfast? Homemade low fat yogurt! I’m actually quite proud of myself that I’ve been eating breakfast everyday within 30 minutes of waking up. Before, I wouldn’t eat until lunch, which was very bad of me.

6. What is your middle name? Mie

7. What food do you dislike? vinegar

8. What is your favorite CD? I don't have any one favorite. Right now I’m listening to Matthew West, Something To Say

18. Furthest place you are sending this? Well, I’m blogging rather than emailing this to people, so I have no idea. If you live far away from California, leave a comment to tell me where you live!

19. Who do you least expect to send this back to you? Again, I’m blogging this rather than emailing.

20. Person you expect to send it back first? Which of my blog readers is going to be first to join this meme and post their answers?

21. Favorite saying? “No.”

22. When is your birthday? September 25th.

23. Are you a morning or night person? I am SUCH a night person it’s not even funny. Or maybe it’s just that I’m so NOT a morning person that it’s obvious I have to be a night person.

24. What is your shoe size? It depends on the brand. I take anywhere from 7.5 to 8 narrow.

25. Pets? Snickers! My butt-headed mutt from the Humane Society

26. Any new and exciting news you would like to share with us? I have been exercising almost every day since December 5th!!! I only missed 4 days so far!!!

28. How are you today? Aunt Flo has come to call. So back away from me before I eat your head.

29. What is your favorite candy? Reese's Pieces. Where else do you think my character Venus got her obsession???

35. Do you wish on stars? No. Who thinks of these questions?

36. If you were a crayon, what color would you be? PINK! PINK! PINK! PINK! PINK! PINK! PINK! PINK! PINK! PINK! PINK! PINK! PINK! PINK! PINK! PINK! PINK! PINK! PINK! PINK! PINK! PINK! PINK! PINK! PINK! PINK! PINK! PINK! PINK! PINK! PINK! PINK! PINK! PINK! PINK! PINK!

37. How is the weather right now? Cool, but nothing compared to someplace like Nebraska or Minnesota.

38. What is your favorite drink? Hot black tea with milk and honey

39. What is your favorite restaurant? Alexander’s steak house in Mountain View. They’ve not only got good beef, they also always have interesting appetizers and desserts, nothing typical.

48. When was the last time you cried? I think a few days ago when I was watching Animal Cops.

49. What’s under your bed? Enough dust bunnies to make a blanket, old clothes, and my packaged-up wedding dress (what a waste of money that was ... the dress, not the packaging up. We should have skipped the stress and eloped.)

I love Leverage! We only have one TV channel, so I've been buying the episodes off Amazon. In fact, I'm sleepy today at work since I stayed up late watching The Mile-High Job with my sister, and The Miracle Job with my mom!

She insulted a hat 👒 and ruined her Season

Welcome! My name is Camille Elliot, and I write Christian Regency Suspense with slow-burn romance and a touch of the supernatural. Thank you for— “Cut!” Lissa, one of my characters, shouts and stomps onto the stage. I stare at her. “I’m not filming a commercial.” “It doesn’t matter. You’re being boring.” I shift uncomfortably, because she’s probably right. “Well then, what should I say? I’m writing a blog post for someone who doesn’t know anything about my books.” “If you start with pleasantries, I will hide your tea,” she threatens. “ All of it.” I gasp in horror. “You wouldn’t!” “Try me!” “I was just going to ask readers to subscribe to my newsletter.” “I shall topple into the shrubbery as I fall dead asleep on my feet.” “Rude,” I mutter. “Maybe start with an explosion. Or at least a hideous hat that ruins my reputation forever.” “Your reputation wasn’t ruined,” I protest. “You were simply unfortunately overheard.” “As I insulted a hat.” “Then maybe you shouldn’t insu...

Tabi socks, part deux

Captain's Log, Stardate 07.25.2008 (If you're on Ravelry, friend me! I'm camytang.) I made tabi socks again! (At the bottom of the pattern is the calculation for the toe split if you're not using the same weight yarn that I did for this pattern (fingering). I also give an example from when I used worsted weight yarn with this pattern.) I used Opal yarn, Petticoat colorway. It’s a finer yarn than my last pair of tabi socks, so I altered the pattern a bit. Okay, so here’s my first foray into giving a knitting pattern. Camy’s top-down Tabi Socks I’m assuming you already know the basics of knitting socks. If you’re a beginner, here are some great tutorials: Socks 101 How to Knit Socks The Sock Knitter’s Companion A video of turning the heel Sock Knitting Tips Yarn: I have used both fingering weight and worsted weight yarn with this pattern. You just change the number of cast on stitches according to your gauge and the circumference of your ankle. Th...

Grace Livingston Hill romances free to read online

I wanted to update my old post on Grace Livingston Hill romances because now there are tons more options for you to be able to read her books for free online! I’m a huge Grace Livingston Hill fan. Granted, not all her books resonate with me, but there are a few that I absolutely love, like The Enchanted Barn and Crimson Roses . And the best part is that she wrote over 100 books and I haven’t yet read them all! When I have time, I like to dive into a new GLH novel. I like the fact that most of them are romances, and I especially appreciate that they all have strong Christian themes. Occasionally the Christian content is a little heavy-handed for my taste, but it’s so interesting to see what the Christian faith was like in the early part of the 20th century. These books are often Cinderella-type stories or A Little Princess (Frances Hodgson Burnett) type stories, which I love. And the best part is that they’re all set in the early 1900s, so the time period is absolutely fasci...

New book idea a la Captain Caffeine

Captain's Log, Stardate 04.14.2009 So my husband, Captain Caffeine, had lunch with a few friends a few days ago. And they asked about my writing, and if I’d been on Oprah yet. (Yeah, right) They then discussed NYT bestselling books, and why can’t Camy write a NYT bestseller. (Sure, let me just open a vein over a blank page and it’ll come right out.) So Captain Caffeine came home with ideas for my new NYT bestselling novel. First it starts with vampires, because Twilight is so hot. But not just any vampires. This one’s an Amish vampire. And he’s not just an Amish vampire, he’s a cop in disguise, infiltrating the Amish community to protect a witness. (Hmm, that storyline sounds familiar ...) But wait! There’s more! To add more conflict and stick with my brand of Asian fiction, we introduce the Tibetan monk! Who joins the Amish community to get away from the pressures of monkhood. But in reality, he’s protecting the Chinese princess on the run, trying to escape from her father’s Hong...
