Yesterday was a bad day. Yesterday was one of those days were you fail to see all that you have and all that you do do. In honour of today and feeling a lot better, I finally decided to complete The Perfect Meme that I saw over at Brandy’s a couple of weeks ago.
The perfect outfit
It depends on the time of year and the occasion. In summer, my perfect outfit are always dresses; whether its my bright, floral maxi dress or a shorter emerald green dress. I love that all I need to do is slip them on. No mess, no fuss. That is the reason that my perfect outfit in winter is a pair of jeans, boots, a sweater and a pretty scarf. I may be high mainteneance emotionally, but I’m a pretty low maintenance kind of girl.
The perfect meal
I have began to really despise food questions. (I’m looking at you Crohn’s Disease!) I guess at this point, anything that doesn’t make my intestines squirm is a winner!
The perfect hangover cure
I haven’t had a hangover since April of 2002. True story. This has mainly to do with the fact that I stopped drinking then started again but always knew my limit and then stopped again. So, best hangover cure ala Hope, just drink in moderation to begin with. It may not be sexy, fun or rock ‘n roll– but its true.
The perfect road trip
A couple of years ago, three friends and I jumped into an Audi A3 and hit the road. I don’t remember the music, I don’t remember the journey, I don’t recall the topics of conversation. All I remember is the constant laughing. That’s my perfect road trip.
The perfect facial feature
While a smile would be on my top 3 perfect facial features. Nothing beats those expressions of complete shock. The ones with raised eyebrows and mouths shaped in an O. Those make me giggle.
The perfect drink
An iced chai latte. Yum-ee.
The perfect song
Anna Begins| Counting Crows
Chasing Cars | Snow Patrol
Say Goodnight & Go | Imogen Heap
Hallelujah | Jeff Buckley
The perfect sign of affection
A guiding hand at the small of my back.
The perfect afternoon
Napping with the one you love. In my case, Diego.
The perfect vacation
While I do love those sightseeing vacations especially in European cities with cobblestone pavements and good food (Hi Barcelona! Hi Florence!) I do also pretty much adore the standrad Greek Island vacation. These usually follow the same schedule everyday. Breakfast time-Beach time-Lunch time-Nap time-Walk time-Dinner time-Card games on a balcony time/Drink time.
The perfect invention
Hair straighteners.
The perfect type of wedding
Intimate, late morning, early Autumn
The perfect album
The Killers| Hot Fuss
The perfect accent
First place, British.
Second place, Spanish.
Third place, Irish.
The perfect date
The kind that never end. A quick coffee turns to a long walk, a long walk turn to lunch followed by drinks followed by dinner.
The perfect weather
Crisp, sunny winter mornings. Cool, summer evenings.
The perfect party
Eclectic mix of people. BBQ. A pool. Candles. The Rizla Game.
The perfect sport
Football.
The perfect thing to say
I have given this so much thought my brain hurts. This dialogue between Josh and Donna from The West Wing pretty much sums it up for me.
Josh: You know, if you were in an accident I wouldn’t stop for a beer.
Donna: If you were in an accident, I wouldn’t stop for red lights.
The perfect day of the week
Monday because I’m a morning person. And Monday, well Monday is like the morning of the week.

I’m glad today is better for you! And I love the quote from The West Wing. I miss that show.
Dialogue between Josh and Donna sums it up for you?? Yes Hope, I do love you. I do love you a lot for saying that. Also, for mentioning “Anna Begins”. Anyway lovely, I hope you are feeling better. You know you can always email me if you want a long winded response, right? ;)
So cute! I gotta do this. And I’ll take one of those long dates, please.
Glad today is better. I saw this on the season finale of How I Met Your Mother. I think it’s the perfect thing to say (and it kind of relates to most of us!)
Ted: Ok, but just tell me this, why Tony?
Stella: He’s… The One… I know, sounds kinda sappy, but… yeah.
Ted: Okay, I’m going to say something out loud that I”ve been doing a pretty good job of not saying out loud lately. What you and Tony have, what I thought, for a second, you and I had, what Marshall and Lily have… I want that. I do. I keep waiting for it to happen, and waiting for it to happen, and I guess I’m… I’m tired of waiting. And that is all I am going to say on that subject…
Stella: You know I once talked my way out of a speeding ticket? I was heading upstate to my parents house, doing like 90 on this country road, and I got pulled over. So this cop gets out of his car, and he kinda swaggers on over and he’s like “young lady, I have been waiting for you all day.” So I looked up at him and I said “I’m so sorry officer, I got here as fast a I could!”
Ted: For real?
Stella: No, it’s an old joke. I know that you’re tired of waiting, and you may have to wait a little while more, but she’s on her way, Ted. ….. And she’s getting here, as fast as she can…
Lpeg: I loved that too! I think that’s as close to perfect as you can get.
Love the West Wing reference.

I still adore the crap out of “Hot Fuss.”
Wow, I think you’re me…greek island loving, crappy crohn’s having, dress wearing me. I’m so glad I found your blog! i love it!
