All About Me....

Scott and I out with some friends

1.  What's your favorite holiday of the year?

Duh!!!!!! CHRISTMAS.......I love Christmas!  First of all, it's Jesus' birthday.  Everyone is all festive with decorating their homes, out shopping, having Christmas parties, and watching Christmas shows.  I just love this time of the year.  Actually, I love from September until the end of the year, but Christmas is the finale.  I can't believe that Christmas is next week.  I mean, it snuck up on me this year.  Well, Merry Christmas to you all!!!!

2.  What is your favorite sandwich?

My favorite sandwich is the Great Steak sandwich from Great Steak in Park Plaza mall.  It's basically a philly cheesesteak sandwich, but it's sooooooo good.  I can eat a whole one by myself.  Mmmmmm, makes me want to go pick up one tomorrow after work.  Maybe I will...

3.  Did you have a pet growing up?

Boy did I?  We had lots of dogs.  My favorite and bestest pet ever was our house dog SugarBear.  We called her Bear for short.  Bear would sleep in my room on the floor.  When she had to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, she was so considerate that she didn't wake me up.  She would walk in my mom and dad's room and wake up my dad....funny huh?  I remember painting her toenails and putting berets in her hair.  She was the best.  Bear ended up getting sick and dying unexpectedly.  I was sad, but her memories will live on forever in my heart....Tear!

4.  What's your favorite color Skittle?

My favorite is purple, then red, then orange, then green, and then yellow. 

5.  What's your favorite store to shop in?

The Limited is my all time favorite.  Their clothes fit me really well, and they send tons of coupons.  I love being able to use coupons especially on stuff already on sale.  I can't help it, I love a deal.  Any who, their clothes are really stylish and cute.  I can just go crazy in there.

It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas.....

I first have to say that I am soooooooooooo excited about Christmas.  I love the music, the cartoon specials, and the decorations and lights.  Man, I have been so excited that my tree has been up for 5 weeks already...LOL  Any who, I have already watched some of my favs...Home Alone 2, Shrek the Halls, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas.  I can't wait to watch Scrooged, Charlie Brown Christmas, It's a Wonderful Life, and anything else Christmas related.  Well here is my Christmas tree. 

 Jolly Green Christmas Tree

 The "Cat in the Hat" topper.  I just fell in love with it!

 This is the ornament that Scott picked out for the tree.

 This is an ornament that my mom gave me.  When you open it, it plays Christmas music.  Thanks, Ma!

Here is a door wreath that I made for our front door.



Baby Shower Cake

This is another baby shower cake that I did for my girl, Starla.  Her craving while pregnant is chocolate, so of course the cake is chocolate.  Thanks for looking!!!!

All About Me...

I thought I would continue my "All About Me" Meme.  I like to attach pictures with my posts,so I here's an old picture of me from as you can see...Last Year.  Here's my latest questions and answers:

1.  What's your favorite Soap Opera?

I absolutely LOVE Young and the Restless.  I have been watching it every since Scooby Doo was a pup.  I mean, who can resist watching The Great Victor Newman in action.  Even if I don't watch it daily, I read what the daily episodes will be about online every day.  Me and about 6 other ladies have discussions about it via e-mail when something juicy happens.  I know that Grim Reaper has come for some other soap operas, but I hope that isn't the case with Young and the Restless.  I mean, it is the #1 soap opera.  If you are an avid Y&R watcher, let me know.  We will have to talk about the latest happenings.

2.  What's your favorite color?

I can't really answer this question right now.  For the longest, it has been dark pink.  When I was a little girl, it was purple.  Now, I just like all bold colors.  I am not a pastel kind of girl.  I love deep colors like Turquoise, Reds, Blues, Purples, Pinks, Oranges, and Greens.  As long as its a bold color, I love it.

3.  What do you like to eat for breakfast?

Well, I know I shouldn't say this, but, I am not a breakfast eater.  I usually just skip it.  If I do eat something though, it's a muffin, trail mix or fruit bar, or a bagel.  It has to be something quick.  I just don't have time in the mornings to devote to breakfast, so whatever I eat has to be something quick.  When I do cook breakfast for me and the hubby, it usually consists of turkey bacon, pancakes (that Scott usually cooks since that's one of his specialties), cheese eggs, or biscuits.  I actually cook breakfast once every 6 or so weeks.  I would just rather wait a few more hours and eat lunch.

4.  Do you know how to swim?

Unfortunately, No.  I do want to learn.  One of my line sisters took lessons this past summer with her husband.  That inspired me to get on out there.  I hope that we can take lessons this coming summer and I can learn.  I am not afraid of having my head under water or anything like that.  I just don't know the technique to keep moving.  That deep water is a bit intimidating, but I am determined to learn.  One of the things on my bucket list to do is to swim with the dolpins.  In order to do that, I gotta learn how to swim.

5.  What is your most favorite thing to do when you are by yourself? 

I would have to say reading.  I have been an avid reader since I could read.  I just love how books take you to another place and you don't think about anything else except the storyline in the book.  Scott says its equivalent to when he goes hunting, so I can understand why he likes hunting.  Any who, I could just read forever especially if its a good book.  My second favorite thing to do is to watch reruns of my favorite shows.  I will have to tell you what my favorite shows are in another posts. 

Until next time,

Tootles
