Does Santa Wrap Your Presents? [Poll]

Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008

When Susan and I were talking about Christmas presents she was surprised to hear that presents from Santa were wrapped. Santa always brought my presents wrapped so I was curious what he did for everyone else.

Extreme Makeover–Gingerbread Edition, v5

Tuesday, December 16th, 2008

gingerbread-party

Lauren and Elliot Blue host THE most awesome fundraiser EVER each year at Christmas: a gingerbread party! For $25 you get a blank house, all the “fixings” and food and drink (including beer and wine for those so inclined). Last year I went as a single 33 year old crazy cat lady, this year I am a 34 year old married mother of 2. What? What a difference a year makes. What a difference kids make at the G-bread party! Here is the picture that Buck (the official from our wedding) took. We did not have any other pix–I dropped our camera and it is busted. I can’t even talk about it. We are back to the old camera for the kids’ birthdays and Christmas and who knows what else.

Another poll!!!

I just really liked the poll that we did, regardless that it drew attention to my nerdiness. So I want to do another. The most pressing question is whether Paul should do his 7 mile run now and miss a tasty dinner he cooked and time w us or if he should wait til 8pm when the kids are in bed and its colder, windier and our bed time. But alas, by the time most of you read this, it will be a mute point.

SO! We will vote on the last side dish for Thanksgiving instead. That way you can also leave a comment about what YOU are doing, too! You know, make it interactive and all. Paul and I will be hibernating on Thanksgiving after we run our 5K that morning (www.greensborogobbler.com). We have not stayed home by ourselves in MONTHS! Here is our menu so far:

  • turkey breast
  • garlic mashed potatoes
  • homemade bread (Paul insisted! I did not force this one)
  • collard greens
  • pumpkin crisp
  • Cliff Bar Cabernet (from the makers on Cliff Bars, like nutrition bars)

Here is the poll question: Should we have homemade mac and cheese too?
