RevGalBlogPals Friday Five

Those of us who are in the United States have just been through quite a topsy-turvy election. During the campaign we heard a fair amount about red states and blue states, when in fact most of us live in some shade of purple. And so... a lighter look at those confounding colors:

1. Favorite red food - a ripe summer tomato with real mozzarella cheese, basil, and balsamic vinaigrette...yum

2. Tell us about the bluest body of water you've ever seen in person - the water in the Virgin Islands on my honeymoon

3. It's movie rental time: Blue Planet, The Color Purple, or Crimson Tide? - tough one, depending on the mood. I'll go with Crimson Tide most of the time for sheer escapism.

4. What has you seeing red these days? - not having uninterrupted time to work on my NaNo novel, and not using the time I have well.

5. What or who picks you up when you're feeling blue? - my family laughing together, a good book, vacations near water

Happy Friday!
