Know and Tell Friday-Extreme Randomness Edition

Friday is here! Time for the wittiest meme around!

1. Why were you given your particular name?
My mum had made a tama to St. Irene Chrysovalandou. A tama is a promise, a vow one makes in return for a favor they ask from Christ, Virgin Mary or a Saint who is asked to act as a mediator bringing the faithful's prayer to the throne of God.
For example one may ask for a person to be healed. In return they promise an offering which may either be material (there is a well illustrated explanation here) or a personal offering, such as walking barefoot or in all fours to the church.
Many women who have difficulty conceiving or baring a child, make a tama to St. Irene. In return they promise to name the child after her, which is the case of my name.
2. What's your favorite song of the moment?

We have just watched Mama Mia! so the songs are on the lips of all of us! Check the link for a preview.

3. What are you wearing today which is most reflective of who you are?
A mother of pearl pendant flower necklace.

4. Have you ever had a pet that was not a cat or dog? What was it?
Fish. A turtle. And when I was 7 we spent Easter at a friend's house who was raising bunnies. As you can see, I still remember them. So clever and cute!

5. What type of exercise do you do to keep in shape?
Does munching count? I haven't exercised at all in the past few months. But Yoga and weights are my favorite media.

6. What is your favorite movie of all time?
Hard, hard one! If you insist, it will have to be Pretty Woman!

7. Do you enjoy gardening, or working with flowers?
L-O-V-E gardening.

That was a great questionnaire, Heather! I do not know how you come up with these questions of yours, but they are great fun! Thank you Heather (and Reese)!
