come on over


That funny mood that I talked about in my last post is still lingering a bit. I think it might be trying to make a way into my pysche permanently. But I am working on sending it back to whereever it came from as fast as I can. In spite of still being a little off center, things are ticking along at a rather alarmingly fast pace. I only have 36 days until I move to Auckland... which I know sounds like alot, but there is really a bunch for me to organise - and yet, even though I know this I seem to still be procrastinating about things like no ones business {why do I always do this!!} Im also busy working on getting all my bits and pieces assembled and made for my craft fair coming up at the start of september, I have a couple of major projects on the run {i still need your photos!!} and because Im a total sucker for punishment im working on getting my etsy store up and running {though, im having a problem with my banner...colours are inverting when its uploaded...any ideas?}

I wanted to thank you all for the beautiful and encouraging words that you have shared with me recently, whether it be via comments on this here blog, personal emails, even mail through the post. I have been so so blessed to have meet you all and I love you all heaps! Seriously, you brighten my day endlessly. So, I thought today, that in amongst the chaos that is my life, I would take a second or two, to get to know you better. I mean, I know some of you well, and then others of you, I dont know if we have even shared a hello... and who knows, if I get a few replies {and I oh so hope that I do!} I might even make this a semi regular thing. So, how about it?

Lets see!

And to start things off... here are my answers!
Who is your celebrity crush?
Oh man! I have too many! haha. Dallas Green, John Mayer, Johnny Depp, Caleb Followill, Charlie Hunman, Elvis {totally counts!!} Ryan Gosling, Johnny Cash {Also counts!} Man, I could go on and on and on. Yum!
What is your favourite thing to do with your friends?
I love doing everything with my friends, but recently, getting dressed up and going out for dinner and drinks, followed by a bit of dancing just cant be beat... unless of course its a pj party... thats also pretty much the best!
When is your favourite time of the year?
I think it would have to be spring, no wait, autumn. Oh um, summer and winter too? haha I cant decide!
Why did you decide to name your blog what you did?
I was sitting on the floor in a backpackers in Boston just after new years and I just sort of thought of it. There isnt any real special meaning to it, Although, Im always waiting for the whisper. Always.
How do you take your coffee?
Recently I have been drinking ALOT of chai... but I like a good latte every now and then too. I like it even better with a shot of vanilla or caramel. Oh yum


Oh I do hope you will play along. xo

  1. I've been feeling the same way lately, too busy with wedding stuff to really take time and make an effort in my blog life :(
    I saw this via facebook and thought I'd play along though!

    Who is your celebrity crush?
    Matthew McConaughey! Or Gerard Butler (I cannot get over his accent!)

    What is your favourite thing to do with your friends?
    Mostly just hang out :) We also like to bake, eat, and go out to eat.

    When is your favourite time of the year?
    Fall, I love when it first starts to get chilly, fresh apples, and getting to switch up my wardrobe.

    Why did you decide to name your blog what you did?
    Initially I picked "Love & Happiness" because that's what I try to fill my life with, however loveandhappiness.blogspot.com was taken so I added "Adventures in" to the address and after a while to the name. "Adventures in Love & Happiness" is pretty fitting for our life and the way we live, however lately I realized what I probably should have named it, oh well!

    How do you take your coffee?
    It depends, my favorite way is with sugar free vanilla creamer, but at work I take it with one creamer and one sweetener, and if I'm at a coffee shop I go with a sugar free caramel latte.

    I hope you have a happy day, darling!

  3. Who is your celebrity crush?
    Oh, I cannot think of one right now!

    What is your favourite thing to do with your friends?
    Dress up and go out for dinner and cocktails at a fancy restaurant, or even just a good friend in our PJ's talking about the ins and outs of life...

    When is your favourite time of the year?
    Spring, still cool enough at night to snuggle in my dressing gown, but warm sunny days. Oh, and September is my birthday month too :)

    Why did you decide to name your blog what you did?
    I named it 'Captured' because that is the name for my photography. That name came to me one day when deciding and stuck. Couldn't get past it.

    How do you take your coffee?
    Strong, white with no sugar - as I am sweet enough ;P

  6. I do hope you feel better soon dear.

    Celeb crush - Chris Carraba has been my number 1 for like ever.

    Fav thing to do with friends - relax with wine for sure.

    Fav time of year - autumn for sure, I love the colors and the soft temperature

    Blog name - Well Smolak is my married name and I am one sassy chick so Sassy Smolak seemed to fit.

    Coffee - I like coffee but very weak coffee and I just splash it with milk enough to change the color.

    Wonderful game to play, cheer up my dear life is good :)

  7. I'm glad your keeping that feeling at bay. Anytime you feel it may be creeping it's way in, you can email me if you like :)

    Oh shoot! Yes! Must send you that photo, and that tshirt. Will do so first thing Monday!
    Yay a game! Loved reading your answers.


    Who is your celebrity crush?
    If you'd asked 2 years ago I would have said Orlando Bloom without a second thought, but now I'm into boys like Michael Cera and Joseph Gordan-Levitt. Weird? Yes.

    What is your favourite thing to do with your friends?
    In a perfect world we would go to gigs on weekends dressed in far too much eyeliner and then going shopping at markets on a Sunday. I hope next year in the city is exactly that.

    When is your favourite time of the year?
    As in season? Probably summer. I'm pale, I don't like the beach and I haven't been to the town pool in years... but summer here means xmas, new years, falls festival, seeing my fam in tasmania and touch football! Yay!

    Why did you decide to name your blog what you did?
    As a youngster, whenever anyone over the age of 30 learned my name they would start warbling 'Ebony and Ivoreeeee...' and they still do, so it just sort of made sense. BUT I can't ever register that domain name - www.ebonyandivory.com is a gay porn site :DDD I later learned. Oh great.

    How do you take your coffee?
    I'm not a coffee drinker. Until a month ago I wasn't a tea drinker. I am now IN LOVE with chai tea, as well as lemon & ginger. I'm excited to try all the different types.. I'm just a n00b when it comes to these drinkies.

    xoxo
