    True - tho we are not hunkering down for another snow storm - we're hunkering down for a cold snap - temps forecasted to be -5 to -10 with windchillls ranging between 20 and 30 below zero. Now that is what I call COLD.  Our electricity has been flickering off and on all morning - whoa Nellie if our town loses power with these temps.

    Faith - love the cat pic - I think the orange tabby's are the smartest cats......of all the cats we've owned over the years our OT's were practically Rhodes Scholars! 

    The next person has eaten babka (sp?) - a friend gave us two and it was our first taste - wow.

    Is that the greek pastry?  If it is, yes, I've had it - if not - nope I haven't.

    Next person is just relaxing indoors today.

    True, I'm staying indoors, but hoping to get caught up on grading for the end of the semester and hopefully bake some Christmas items.

    The next person still has shopping to finish.

    YUP!! HaHA ..... it's just as cold here on South 15th ST.

    False.  I am visiting my grown children who are both in bed at 4:42 pm taking a nap.  Hopefully they will get up and see if there is something their mother wants to do.  I don't know the neighborhood or I would go for walk.  I am reading one of my daughter's books, "The Birth of Venus", by Sarah Dunant.  It seems interesting, but I haven't connected the intro to the story line yet.

    The next person is looking forward to the end of the holiday and the new year.

    False. It's just the two of us for tonight. Calm. Peaceful. Hunkering down..... as stated earlier.

    The next person knows how to juggle.

    (Did we ever figure out what babka is?)

    True.  But only with 3 objects.   Haven't done it in years though so could be False.

    Babka is some kind of European cake isn't it?  All I can bake is shortbread so how would I know? Laughing

    Edit to say.........the next person is amazed at how bad their memory is.  LOL, case in point.Wink

    False but I would like to learn.  I might try with thin scarves sometime as balls are too hard for me.

    The next person has tried riding a unicycle!

    True, I think so.  I barely remember, it was 100 years ago.

    True, enough of this white stuff.........and I'm not talking wine.

    The next person (although not a real Christmas person) is kind of getting excited about Dec. 25th.

    Not too bad.

    The next person has all the gifts wrapped and under the tree.  I did it today while cooped inside all day. Usually that's dh's job but he's been a working machine lately and I forgot what he looks like so I thought I better wrap them.

    False but the dh and I are working on it.

    The next person has a pet who sleeps with their head on her pillow. (No, it's not a horse)

    true, I do packed up in a box in storage.  Faith, I also have embarrasing stories I will have to tell you sometimes.

    MissS are you on facebook?

    I was going to try a new cookie recipe tonight but we ran out of propane

    the next person still has to do her grocery shopping for Christmas day like the turkey and stuff.

    true, just a few items -- fresh veggies, mainly.

    The next person makes chicken soup from scratch, even the stock.

  • jembs

    True, and I freeze some of the stock to make cream soups.

    The next person is feeling at peace with their life.

    MissS, I would love to visit Alaska, have you been there?

    Nope didn't get to do any baking yet due to no propane

    The next person is having a pain free day

    True enough. I've had a run-in with "frozen shoulder" that had me in PT for months and it is trying to re-freeze, but now I know what to do to combat it. Pain at a minimum: hallelujah!

    The next person just got a phone call that school's been cancelled, due to wind-chill factor.

    Nope Deb......but did watch to see.  I work at a 4 year old kind.  Lots of schools around us have 2 hour delays though - but not us.

    The next person is looking forward to MORE snow.

  • Marple

    False.  But there is more coming.

    The next person loves listening to the banjo.

    False to the banjo unless I'm in a Deliverance-type movie?

    Babka is a cakey bread - must be European....I remember a Seinfield episode where Elaine and the group got into a fight in a bakery over the last loaf of babka.  A friend gave us a couple loaves this weekend and I can see why someone would fight over it but heaven only knows where one's sugar level would peak at.

    MissS and Spar - I was so lucky to have had a trip to Alaska summer of '07 - it is so incredibly beautiful.....I would move there if I could.

    The next person has at least one major household appliance going out - our water heater upped and died....just in time for Christmas!  thankyouverymuch.

    Well one never knows what's about to give up the ghost.... but I think we're OK. Come to think of it my garage door opener's acting like it's all fritzed up. Not very reliable..... so I guess my answer may need to be True.... tho I suppose that's not a major appliance. (Did I tell you that I have trouble w/T -- F questions...... now you see what I meant.)

    I have grown fonder of banjos -- especially on children's recordings.

    The next person has made a literal list and will check things off today.
