A Hodgepodge kind of Day

 

 

 

1. Will you be hosting any house guests between now and the end of December? Does that thought make you happy or crazy? Do you do anything special for your guests to make them feel at home? How long should a house guest stay?   We do not host any house guests over the holidays.   We do entertain, but no one that needs to sleep over.   Although, sometimes the boys cousins stay over which is always a fun night for the kids.

2. Walter Elias Disney was born this week (December 5) back in 1905 ...what's your all time favorite Disney movie? Here's a list in case you're struggling...and yes, you have to pick one.  Wow, that is quite the list.   I really do enjoy the Disney movies.   They make them now that even as an adult you enjoy watching them.   I love all the Toy Story movies and Pooh Bear one's too.   I think I have to admit that my favorite is "The Fox and the Hound."   I love that story.    The story of friendship is always a good one.  Plus the fox is so darn cute.

3. What was the last thing you purchased that you realized was a mistake after the fact?  Hmmmm.....I guess it would be buying something for Little Guy for Christmas.   Coming home from the store, showing Dear Hubby, and then him reminding me that I just ordered same item form Amazon the day before.   Ooops.   At least the online purchase was cheaper and it will be easy to return.

4. What percentage of your Christmas shopping is done online?  Let's just say that I see a man in a brown uniform and truck several times a week!    It is so easy to do things online, many times cheaper, lots of free shipping, and they bring it to my door!!    Therefore, I would say that at least 85% of my shopping is done online.   It's a beautiful thing.

5. Amaryllis-snowdrop-poinsettia...your favorite winter blossom?   I love the poinsettia.  

6. What is one thing on your personal Christmas wish list? I think we all want peace on earth so let's make this answer an actual item.    Do I have to just pick one?!?!?    I have a list a mile long of baking and scrapbooking stuff.   Would love to get the Kindle Fire, a new laptop, some jewelry.......Am I getting any of this???   I doubt it as Dear Hubby and I decided that our old dinosaur of a computer that is actually 11 years old needs to be put to rest.   New computers (at least good ones) apparently do not come cheap, so that is our Christmas.     Don't cry for me as it's all good and I'm really not wanting for anything.

7. If you could only use one word today what would it be?  Tired!   First I fell asleep on the couch.   Then I woke up at 1:00.   There was a show on TV that caught my eye.   So I stayed up till 2:00 to watch.   Then Little Guy woke up.    Very restless...... Very Tired..... Good Times, good times.....Tired, coffee, tired, coffee,   sleep......maybe tonight.

8. Insert your own random thought here.   Big Guy is going camping again for Boy Scouts.   I am very impressed with how much these boys do.   This time they are going hiking and camping close to home.   They invited parents to come for dinner.   Normally, I would jump at the chance to go.   I declined, but Dear Hubby is going.   The reason I am not going is because the theme of this trip is "you are what you eat."   To me it is a Fear Factor camping trip as the menu is turtle, elk, venison, turtle, Python, scorpion lollipops, and candid ants.   Sounds yummy, doesn't it.   I really hope that they bring some pepto with them:)  Now, I do know venison and elk is the staple for some lumberjacks, but around here not so much.    I'll let you know how it turns out.   ( Is it bad that while Dear Hubby and Big Guy are eating such a lovely meal, I am thinking of taking the other two out to Cracker Barrel?)

 

Live, Laugh, Love

Scrap it all!
