Which is a total bugger for a Saturday. I’m bored with working, so am stealing this meme from Gwen:

5 snacks I enjoy:
1. Pickles, gherkins, cornichons…anything but American sweet pickles.
2. Skinny Cow ice cream products.
3. Walker’s Light crisps (ready salted, please).
4. Sainsbury’s non-fat cottage cheese with pineapple.
5. Fruit.

5 things I would do if I were a millionaire:
1. Give money to my dad so he could retire early.
2. Do more stuff with the Engagement Alliance.
3. Build and decorate a house in Ohio, near my family.
4. Add an elevator to the building in Paris where Antoine has his apartment, so we wouldn’t have to walk up six flights of stairs with groceries or after a night of drinking.
5. Hire a full-time PA.

5 bad habits:
1. Caring that smart people who should know better have stupid politics.
2. Associating with one or two perfectly pleasant, but not-entirely-my-cup-of-tea people out of a feeling of obligation rather than enthusiasm.
3. Freaking out over not leaving the house on time when Antoine and I are going somewhere.
4. Waiting too long to organise my receipts and paperwork.
5. Buying pretty, impractical things just so I can admire them.

5 things I like doing:
1. Introducing one cool person to another.
2. Cooking for people I love.
3. Picking out presents for people and handing them out - shamelessly selfish fun.
4. Taking pictures.
5. Going on trips, especially with Antoine so I don’t worry about him dying or getting hurt while I’m away.

5 things I would never wear, buy or get new again:
1. Stick foundation.
2. Scholl Party Feet Gel Slingback Strips.
3. Pigtails. Sorry, but if you’re over the age of 16 and wearing pigtails, you look stupid and/or like you’re trying to emulate a porn star.
4. Books I haven’t had personally recommended to me by someone I trust.
5. CDs.

5 favorite toys:
1. The teddy bear my dad bought me on the day I was born.
2. My camera.
3. My computers.
4. Sketch paper and pencils.
5. Scrabble (technically a game, but hush).

I’m tagging Nancy Rommelmann and Hillary Johnson for this one.
