I can't even give a proper blog quiz! What DID happen to question #3? Oh, well, Fcuk it.
As for question #1, no one will be penalized for not answering the trick question properly. After all, this is all just for my sadistic amusement.

5.“Hi, I’m from Australia, now living in Annecy. I speak one and a bit languages. I am wearing black colored socks right now. I am not allergic to peanuts (but that didn't stop me from buying into the general hysteria surrounding them and not letting my kids eat them for years). Today I'm feeling totally pissed off with the lazy cow at our bank who still hasn't organized the caution bancaire for our new lease. If she would only put half the effort into her work that she does into dressing her skinny ass every morning, I would be living it up in my new apartment by now."

5. Hi, I’m from Ft. Collins, CO. I speak one language - badly and it gets worse each year that I live in the country learning more and more hick dialect.
I am wearing Pippi Longstocking striped socks right now because it's FRIDAY.
I am not allergic to peanuts.
Today I'm feeling finer than frogs hair parted 4 ways.
(which is an ACTUAL country-ism I've heard in these here parts. The idea being that frogs hair is SO fine you can't hardly even see it ... so for it to be parted 4 ways? Damn! That is FINE!)
1) Only one
2) Third Thursday
3) Barbie Dream House!
4)“Hi, I’m from West Africa by way of TX, Virginia and France. I speak 2 languages. I am wearing white colored socks right now. Colored socks freak me out. I am not allergic to peanuts. Today I'm feeling a bit sore, brutal workout yesterday. "
1) Two fashion models! Why??? This calls into question female frogs taste and sense of esthetic's.
2) Third Thursday in November
4) The Barbie Dream House with ultra cool furniture and snazzy lighting!
5) “Hi, I’m from the land of right wing wingnuts or West Michigan to froggies. I speak two languages. I am wearing flesh colored socks right now. I am not allergic to peanuts. Today I'm feeling a bit itchy...maybe it's the peanuts? "
Goodness I'll get this right yet!

4. Teri and I speak 3 languages. I'm wearing some really funky-weird colored socks.. I got a thing for 'em and today I'm feeling just a bit achey now cuz my butt just got off the treadmill!
1) Even if that dude was married to a so-called model, i.e., Cécilia, she never got paid enough to consider that she was indeed a fashion model. That leaves him with Carla Bruni, who has made millions from modelling. For exactness sake, 2 fashion models have been/are married to that dude. Practically however, I'd say one real fashion model.
2) Beaujolais Nouveau is officially released for sale on the 3rd Thursday of November. However, anyone with 2 brain cells can find it early.
3) Très drôle, Mme. K !
4) It's referred to The Barbie Dream House. How's the decoration coming by the way?
5)“Hi, I’m from the Loiret via Châteauneuf-sur-Loire, via Montreuil (93), via Paris (16), via Boston, MA, via Seattle, WA, via San Francisco, CA, via Sante Fe, NM, via Portland, OR, via Salem, OR, USA. I speak 2 languages, 3 when I've been drinking. I am wearing dirty-white colored socks right now. I am not allergic to peanuts, but they make me fat. Today I'm feeling a bit lucky because it's much easier for you, Mme. K., to send artwork to the Loiret (45) than to the US or any other country."
Thanks for the great contest and the super build-up. You must be a master of marketing.
Yay for Lurkers!
1) Two!
2) 15th of November
4) The Barbie Dream House
5) “Hi, I’m from New Caprica. I speak 3 languages. I am wearing sanguine-colored socks right now. I am not allergic to peanuts. Today I'm feeling a bit flaccid. "
Le Jour J = D Day.
Wow, that looks cryptic. I didn't say where I live now in the where are you from bit!! I'm in Lille so your gorgeous piece would remain in La Belle France...

I have been pinning for an update from you and when I turn my back for just a teeny-weeny second YOU POST something that has to do with a prize.
Now that I am done whining, the answers to your blog quiz are:
1). Nicolas Sarkozy HAS been married to 1 ex-model. He current wife, wife #3, IS also an ex-model.
2).Beaujolais Nouveau is officially released for sale on the third Thursday of November.
3). I too skip my numbers ... it is something that geniuses do:)
4).The apartment that I currently live in is commonly referred to on this blog as: THE BABIE DREAM HOUSE!!

NB: Blogger wouldn't accept my site for some reason so I had to sign in with gmail. Hope that's cool.
How is it that so many of you are sock-less?
1. The dude's been married 2 times to models. Let's see how long this one will last, lol.
2.Beaujolais Nouveau is released on the 3rd Thursday of Novembre.
3.Of course "The Doll House". I now have way too many home design and decor blogs in my 'favorites' section because of you Madamn K!
4. I'm from Miami, FL. I speak English and (li'l bit of Italian, French &Spanglish). I am wearing dirty colored socks because I just finished taking Sophie, my Yorkie out for a walk in the park next to our townhouse where there is this 'mafia' group of about 10 geese. I try to avoid them when we go on our walks but sometimes we meet up. Long story short - Sophie and I stepped in goose s--t on the run and thus the dirty shoe and sock. No allergies to peanuts, thank God. Today, I'm feeling GREAT. The weather is fantastic, a sunny 77 degrees (Wish I could send you some of our sun) and I just had a brisk walk/run from 10 angry geese. (I do have pics of this angry hoard).
I lurk no more :-)
Yikes!!!!I know it's the Barbie Dream House !!!!!!Stupid Misprint.The goose encounter spaced me out for a minute!
That would be two, wife number two and wife number three (but who knows how many more lie in store?)
Red wine vinegar, uh I mean Beaujolais Nouveau comes out the third Thursday in November.
Next.
The Barbie Dream House (which is bee-ooo-tee-ful, btw! I’m a big fan of contemporary myself and would love to see more pictures)
“Hi, I grew up in Maryland, but met a French musician when I was visiting Europe after college. I never went back and we are still together; in fact I just recently realized that I have lived longer in France than in the US, which is kind of scary--does that mean I’m more French than American? I speak English and French, even the swear words. I am wearing black socks right now, my feet are always cold. I am not allergic to peanuts, but have sadly gone over to the enemy vis-a-vis peanut butter. Today I'm feeling a pretty excited, we’re going to the local shelter to adopt a kitten or two for my daughter (which of course means our new BoConcept sofa will be history within the week)."
