"Ring the bells that still can ring.

Forget your perfect offering.

There is a crack in everything.

That's how the light gets in. "

Can I get that lemon pie recipe too? Thanks.

Another inspirational quote I like is......

Suzanne3131

...one that I just reread yesterday by Anais Nin...."And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud became more painful than the risk it took to blossom".  And it happened!  I blossomed.  I have decided to go to yoga teacher training in March.  It will be hard and scary and my family will just have to get by without me for a few weeks...and I am doing it!  whew!

When something feels really scary to me, one way that I cope is.....

When something feels really scary to me, one way that I cope is.....  by counting to 100 - slowly.

When I was 13 I thought I would grow up to be a........

tweetybird

Professional baseball player, playing right field for the NY Mets. That's the position that I played at that age.

As an adult I'm doing this as a career........

ruthbru

I am a middle school teacher.

Janet, I wanted to be a right fielder too when I was a girl, but for the Minnesota Twins!

One person from my past (non-family) that I would love to see again is.......

WellWater

That statement has had me thinking for quite a while here.....  I guess I would say my boss at Standard Oil back in the late 60's.  I graduated at 17 and took a job as a secretary.  Mr. Warrington was actually the 2nd boss - we fit together like a hand in a glove.  He was a handsome devil but I did not have a crush on him (the other secretaries were all gaga over him tho).  He did so much for my self-confidence not only in my work skills but life in general.  He always had the best advice....one of the smartest, kindest men I've ever known.

One of the worst piece of advice an adult gave to me when I was young was.....................

 Don't take math courses.... those are for boys, not cheerleaders.  (said my school guidance counselor).

The most exciting dinner I've ever had was....

Judy67

the first date I had with my husband, cannot remember what we ate.

ruthbru

on a fall tour of New England

my favorite Christmas Cookie is....

WellWater

a homemade one.  One of the gals at the shop I work at brings in a huge tin full of all her cookies.  Have no idea what the name of any of them is but I love them all (unfortunately.

Wildest New Year's Eve I ever had was......................

ruthbru

can't say on a family website

Usually on New Years I........

WellWater

am in bed by midnight....at least anymore anyway.

Worst New Year's Eve I ever spent was................

Faith316

babysitting for a neighbor family one New Year's Eve when I was in high school and got sick with vomiting and had to ask the parents to come home.  They never called me to babysit again.  I know they thought I had been drinking or something.

A good luck food we always serve on New Year's Day is .........

WellWater

We always eat herring on New Year's Eve and Day.  Not sure where this comes from but it's supposed to be good luck.  I guess if you're still alive and kicking the next NYE, it worked.

 (Faith, that's funny - I'm sure not at the time though)

We were in Palm Springs, CA for a NYE trip with my husband's cousin and her fiance.  He insisted we go to the restaurant/lounge for a "spectacular" evening.  Well, the food was cold and barely edible.  Her and I went to the bathroom and came back to find they had whisked away our desserts,..about the only thing that was good.  Next into the lounge which had 2 rooms, the bar was in one room and the place was holding about 100 people more than it should have had.  Took almost an hour to get a drink which was watered down, couldn't dance since everyone was shoulder to shoulder.  We finally fled, $200 poorer...stopped at a fast food place to eat and back to the condo to open a bottle of champagne and sit in the hot tub - the champagne was flat and the hot tub was cold.  The other couple had such a bad fight, she broke off the engagement - we spent the next 2 days until the flight home in uncomfortable silence....MY WORST NYE EVER.

The best post-Christmas sale item I picked up this year is...............
