Yes, once a long time ago,.... I had the books on the floor of the car, and went through some water in a flash flood on the way to work. When I took them in that afternoon I found they were damp, and they wanted over $100, about twice what each book was worth to replace, and I wasn't allowed to keep them, they said people would destroy them on purpose. Needless to say I tore up the membership card. I did have two other libraries available to me, one only a block from work
2. Do you have a special organizational plan and place for wrapping paper, gift bags, etc., or do you just purchase whatever you need as you give gifts?
I do buy wrapping paper when I see something nice, but usually purchase card and gift as the gift occasion arises.
3. Have you ever been in (first-hand witness) a natural disaster?
No.
4. What's your favorite Barry Manilow song?
I looked at the song list .... Bridge over Troubled Water
5. What's the best costume you've ever worn?
If you mean fancy dress, I've never worn one.
6. Which do you use more often, the dictionary or the thesaurus?
The dictionary, I have a few but I check online now.
7. What's your favorite breakfast food?
I make a smoothie with flaxseeds I grind myself, rice milk, banana, WPC, cinnamon, fresh ginger, brewers yeast and honey.
8. Have you ever purchased anything from an infomercial?
Hubby has bought a few things
9. Have you ever crawled through a window?
No
10. Do you believe in love at first sight?
I think people do fall in lust at first sight, but Love, no.
11. How many pairs of jeans do you own?
Blue jeans good enough to go out - only two
12. If someone were going to bake a cake to honor/represent you, what would it be? (Think creatively, like Duff and Crew on "Ace of Cakes.")
I haven't heard of that.
What I can do is post a pic of a really delicious continental cake, my son absolutely adores it and I serve it as a dessert and make it every time he comes to see us.

Hi, Very much enjoyed all your lovely photos. And that cake looks YUMMY! :) Have a blessed week.
Hi Jan,
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I'm not from Australia, but I do love kangaroos. Ace of Cakes is a television show on the Food Network here in the US. You can see about that here:

It's based on the work of Charm City Cakes. Here is the link to their gallery to see some of their creations:

Hi Jan-
I've enjoyed reading your responses to Random Dozen. It's a terrific meme. I've always liked a good meme and now I have started my own. We just started a new meme called "Wednesday Wickedness" and will post on Tuesday afternoons. You are welcome to do it on Tuesdays, if you do only one meme a day! We are up and posted now. Each week we pick a famous person and find 10 quotes. Then each question is based on the quotes! This week is George Clooney. Check us out at http://jjatww.blogspot.com.
Thanks!

I so enjoyed reading these! That cake looks lovely! Just thinking that maybe I should start with a morning smoothie - my morning is a bowl of oatmeal with ground flax seeds! Yours sounds delish!
Enjoyed all your answers! Wow that library fine was a little steep, I would of torn up my card too! Your smoothie sounds wonderful!
until next time... nel
Thank you so much for visiting Jan. It is nice to get to know you a little bit!
Ace of Cakes is on Austar, same with Phil Down Under.
The cake is lovely. I was wondering when I read about the chickpeas if you liked healthy food, and now I have my answer. I think I have Brewer's Yeast here, but didn't get back into it as I wanted to.
Great answers!
Sorry about you having trouble with the library police though.
Mine is here
Happy Thursday!
hugs
