Cocaine Princess here.
Yesterday was Groundhog Day. In one of the nearby cities Groundhog Day is considered a grand festival and in honor of the rodent foretelling whether we will have 6 more weeks of winter or not there is an ice hockey tournament, curling bonspiels, a snowman building competition, a pancake breakfast and then a parade led by the mayor and the town council who all dress in tuxedos with tails and top hats.
So the groundhog emerged from his hole. The verdict? He failed to see his shadow which means spring is around the corner. Normally this would be great news but no one really puts much faith in him. For a record 5 straight years in a row he's been wrong.
As my loyal and dear readers know I was tagged to list random facts about myself. I asked my sister to compile the list. Here are a few more:
FOOD: Not to be taken in a negative way but the Princess has unusual tastes in food.
Most people will put ketchup, vinegar or gravy on their fries. She will put Caesar dressing and then sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.
She drizzles Tabasco sauce on her pizza and her favorite topping is pineapple.
When eating vanilla ice cream she will pour a little bit of 7UP into the bowl.
MUSIC: She loves listening to music. Her preferred choice is Euro Dance.
Her all time favorite songs/videos:
Come Undone: Duran Duran
Open Your Heart: Madonna
Honey: Mariah Carey
The Glamorous Life: Sheila E!
Let The Music Play: Shannon
Rapture (Taste So Sweet): Iio
Someday: Djs @ Work
I See Right Through To You: DJ Encore
Elements: Neo Cortex
Mas Y Mas: Robi Draco Rosa
Her love and appreciation of music comes from me. I was in high school during the eighties and the princess was still a pudgy tot. Music was available on these things called a tape cassette and you would insert them into a marvelous device called a Walkman. The princess would sit on my bed listening to my Walkman while playing with her dollies while I did my homework. Often she would listen to Bananarama's Cruel Summer and White Wedding by Billy Idol. Some of the music I introduced her to at a young age: The Police, Culture Club, Tears For Fears, a-ha, Genesis, Eurythmics, Bowie, Pet Shop Boys, OMD, Level 42, Simple Minds. Anyone remember New Wave Music? Bob Geldof and Band-Aid or when British music performers/groups ruled the US Billboard Charts?
TV: She enjoys BBC Britcoms. Her 2 favorite:
Keeping Up Appearances
Absolutely Fabulous
(Saffy the voice of reason in the household but she is often ignored. Something I know all too well)
XOXOXOXO,
Cocaine Princess

Princess, your relationship with your sister sounds so rewarding. I grew up with two brothers and always wished I had a sister. It must be such a treat to have each other. You are lucky to be so close.
As for the rodent, Im still convinced the only way to escape winter is to head south! The critter is cute, but full of shit.
Hey CP in the post below you wrote--
"Come this Sunday I will be glued to the tube watching the game like I do every year."
Did you even know who was playing?
Anonymous at 10:36,
Yes. I may not know much about sports but I knew what teams were playing.
I thought it was a law in Canada that all french fries must be served in a cup covered in gravy.
I guess I spent too much time along the boardwalk on Hollywood Beach.
Pineapples DO NOT belong on pizza, Princess. That is disgusting.
Sheila E! That girl could bang out the drums.
Peace Out Chickie!
AB/FAB- hilarious sitcom. A rundown of Eddie and Pats favorite drinks--
Bolly Stolly {a cocktail of Bollinger champagne and Stolichnaya vodka}
Veuve&Bourb {a mix of Veuve Clicquot champagne and bourbon}
Dom&Bom {a mix of Dom Perignon champagne and Bombay Sapphire gin}
The episode when the pair went to Morocco is my fave.
I remember B/Geldoff. He was in the rock group "The Boomtown Rats"
Band-Aid and Live Aid- two historical moments in the eighties. Too bad Live 8 sucked. Lesson learned, you can't repeat history.
7UP in a bowl of vanilla ice cream, sounds like the reverse ice cream float. It's not so unusual.
I love Mariah Carey the way you love Madonna!
I spent the morning viewing your favorite videos online. DJs @ Work, DJ Encore and Iio-- all killer dance tracks.
Hyacinth: "This is not the Chinese restaurant. This is a residential number and you are speaking to the lady of the house on a white, slim line telephone with last number redial facility."
[I can't imagine anyone in real life being married to someone like Hyacinth. I love Elizabeth. The nervous wreck is always spilling her coffee and the Vicar who always says, "Oh God it's the Bucket woman!"]

Pineapples on pizza is DELICIOUS!
Princess--
Gordon Ramsay's 240 F-words cause outrage. SHEESH!

He's a hot head.
I love Pinneaple on Pizza- great choice btw. I can see the 7up in with ice cream, i like rootbeer in it so that's not out of touch but the fries are something totally new- it sounds really good to me so i might have to try that. You should try chocolate chips with salty chips- sounds gross, really good... or ice cream and fries. healthy!!!!
9:40- Have you even tried pineapple as a pizza topping because if you haven't don't knock it until you try it.
The g/hog in our home town had the same prediction princess.

dani
First and foremost... you must know that you have a gift for making me tear up in less than 2 sentences... I look forward to your comments, Thank you --
Secondly, groundhog day has never made sense to me... ???
I think your food habits are so fun! I love Tabasco sauce on my pizza with Ranch dressing (hold the pineapples please!)
As for music, I love all things Celine Dion and sappy :)
As for your incredible connection and relationship between you and your sister.... it only gives me a glimpse of the incredible woman your mother must have been -- You are blessed, my friend --
She saw him standing in the section marked,
"If you have to ask you can't afford it" lingerie
She threw him bread and said make me scream
In the dark what could he say
Boys with small talk and small minds
Really don't impress me in bed
She said I need a man's man baby
Diamonds and furs
Love would only conquer my head
F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C SONG!!
{Sheila E's The Glamorous Life was the first and last song to be played at my high school prom.
I took my g/friend to see Sheila E in '01. She preformed on stage with Ringo at the Broward Center in F/Lauderdale}
BTW Princess, I always order the Hawaiian BBQ Chicken Pizza from Papa John's.
Newbie, what do you think of chicken as a pizza topping?
7:03- Chicken on pizza is just as good as pepperoni. And no I've never tried pineapple on my pizza and perhaps if I do maybe I will like it but there's just something not right about fruit as a pizza topping.
Believe it or not, Sheila E. is on Dave Mason's new album, his first in something like 20 years. She's still got it.
South Florida,
Yes, she's still a great artist.
Hey my friend, you came into my mind today, so I thought I would pop by and say hello and send ya a cyber hug. I hope you are well and having fun xxoo
Princess you like Sheila E and Shannon? I figured your all time song/video list would have been filled with only Madonna and Duran Duran videos?
Getty at 5:01,
Hello Getty. How are your travels?
L.C.G. at 5:22,
'The Glamorous Life' and 'Let The Music Play' are on my list because they were my mom’s two most ultimate favorite songs, which I too happen to love.
South Florida,
Hell's Kitchen is on!
Call me quirky, but all the stuff she likes to eat sounds pretty damn tasty to me...(although tabasco ontop of pineapple pizza is a bit much.
