Friday's Feast

Appetizer: How much money do you plan to spend this upcoming holiday season?
Good question--no clue. This year I won't be on such a big budget as usual, yet we have been getting what we need all along, so there aren't any huge purchases I'd want to make. I just got an engagement ring, we are getting Tuba Boy a car, the kids have all the video games they wanted already, and have good MP3 players, Lee got the surround sound system AND bought us the TV, so there are not too many big needs. I'm knitting a few gifts, which cost more in time than money, too. But, we are so happy--I do want to have a nice holiday. I may spend more on a real tree and new ornaments than I normally would...

Soup: What was the last television show you watched, and was it good?
The last show I watched was the Colbert Report on Wednesday night, because we were at a Thursday football game last night. Yes, it was as good as usual. I do plan to watch last night's show about him not getting to run for President this evening!

Salad: If you had to paint the walls of your living room tomorrow, what color would you choose?
I would paint it a slightly more "tan" shade of gold than the one we painted it just last month.

Main Course: Name something clever or practical you have thought of that should be invented, but hasn’t yet.
Vacuum cleaner powered by dog hair.

Dessert: List 3 things you would like to receive as gifts this upcoming holiday season.
1. Niddy Noddy (winds yarn into skeins)
2. Gift certificates from the Loopy Ewe and Bluebonnet Yarn Shoppe, which I promise to take my time spending
3. Windows on my car tinted, car detailed, with seats and carpet cleaned

None of these are urgent. Just happy to have my family and friends with me, and wish the ones who are far away could be nearby.
