One year my husband's aunt Mary (who is not much of a drinker) hosted Thanksgiving.  She had a couple of martinis when we first got there.  She was going to start bringing the food to the table but excused herself and we never saw her again.  We found her asleep in her bed....we all ate and cleaned up before we left.  Her husband was pretty ticked off but we thought it was a hoot and laughed about it for years.

Another funny memory was..............

TallM

Lol-to bad she missed all the fun. She must have needed a break.



A fun memory was when we made some amazing homemads rolls & had some left over. First-my one niece sat on a tray of uncooked rolls (how she sat on them & didn't know???) Then my other niece when asked to put the rolls away in zip-lock bags somehow managed to take ALL the 5 pans & STUFF them into one bag. Needless to say they weren't edible & no leftovers for turkey sandwhiches:o Maybe you had to be there but it's a fun memory.



Some of the top items on my list for Christmas to get for myself or someone? Did you find any good deals today?

WellWater

Hope those nieces were young when they pulled that off.

I found a few good deals on Black Friday.

The hardest person to buy a gift for on my list is..............

Wonderland

co-workers. We play Dirty Santa and I waste too much energy over that gift!

This week.............

was glorious!

Tomorrow I look forward to.....

another sunny, above average temperature day.

Wonderland, what is 'Dirty Santa'?

The most fun thing I'm going to do this Christmas is......

badger

fly to Florida with DH to see my mom for Christmas.

The best part of being on vacation is ...

Suzanne3131

not having to cook and do dishes!

If I had a bunch of money to donate, I would give it to.... 

WellWater

I would establish a scholarship program in an inner-city elementary school.  I believe if you can catch these children at a young age, you can save many from drug and gang-related lives.

The charities I donate to are:

Suzanne3131

The Heiffer Foundation and The United Way

If I had 6 months off and money was no object, I would.... 

ruthbru

do some traveling

If I could live for one year in a foreign country, I would choose.....

hbcheryl

Italy and I would travel, travel, travel and eat, eat, eat.

If I could have any Food Network chef come over and cook dinner for me it would be....

badger

Iron Chef Morimoto.

Before the end of the year, I must ...

WellWater

get into DH's IRA account and get things in order since we have to start tapping into it next year.  I put things like this into the same category as colonoscopies.

The one electronic gift I don't need but sure would like to have is a...............

Wonderland

iPhone.

The one kitchen appliance I don't need but sure would like to have is a.......

FLwarrior

food dehydrator

The kitchen appliance I do own that I should use more often is...

WellWater

mini chopper/processor.  We end up just chopping by hand rather than getting it out and dirtying it.

I think I'm about the last one on earth to own a.................

Suzanne3131

smartphone....I still have a dumbphone!

If there was one virtue or personal attribute I could receive for Christmas, it would be.... 

ruthbru

serenity.

A material gift I would love to get would be......

badger

a necklace of silver and cobalt blue made by a friend of mine who makes jewelry.

I'm good at ...

teaching.

At a party you will find me......

WellWater

browsing the buffet table

When it comes to making small talk, I am...................

ruthbru

I can do it fine. I don't enjoy it that much, but you can learn some pretty interesting things if you engage.

When it comes to public speaking, I ......

feel less nervous with a smaller group of people I know, than with a larger group of strangers.

My computer skills ...

are advanced.

A computer software program I would like to have is...

badger

hmmm, I have what I need so I guess that's N/A.

Every time I think I've heard it all, someone ...

WellWater

comes along and proves that theory wrong - but it's part of what keeps life interesting.  I am so amazed when I hear a new story (and there is always a new story) of some guy who is supposedly intelligent (politican, school principal, etc) and no matter that many before him have been exposed and humiliated, they still go ahead and send pictures of their privates on their phones and internet without any thought that this is such a STUPID thing to do. Oy

(FlWarrior - is MS Cloud a software program?  If so, I think that is what I want)

The one Christmas movie or play or song or tradition that puts me in the true spirit is..............

kcl65

watching A Christmas Carol... can't have Christmas without old Scrooge!

A favorite family tradition on Christmas day is...

badger

Christmas dinner in FL with DH and mom and any of her friends who are alone on CMas.

By this time next week ...

I will hopefully have my Christmas shopping done.

My favorite Christmas dish is...
