1. Do you send Christmas cards? If so about how many will you send this year? How do you display the cards you receive? Or don't you? (gasp!)

I have and I haven't sent Christmas cards this year I will. Going to work on them today, and this weekend. Since I started using the computer for everything I stopped sending the cards but it is nice to receive them.  That is why I am going to send them and get in that habit again.



2. When do kids become adults?

I think kids become adults when they are 18. With that being said I also think they need to show the mental age as well as the physical age. At 18 my daughter was in the army and pretty much taking care of herself. Adult, yes. My son was in college doing the same. I considered them adults. I will always be their mom and fight for them no matter what and fight anyone who hurts them but they are now 28 and very much adults taking care of their families.

3. Does your 'beauty regimen' change with the seasons?  

I haven't while in South Carolina but I did not have to the weather was not that bad. I can already feel the difference here my skin is dryer so I need moisturizer every day and a good face scrub.

4. What's something you like to eat that might cause another person to turn up their nose?

My husband always turned his nose up when we ate artichokes at my grandmother's at the  holidays. Maybe others would too.








5. Gloves or mittens? 
 
I like gloves but like I said above have not had very much change in my winter. This is a new year and a new experience for me. Actually I experienced it when growing up but spending 15 years in a warmer place sure can change you.
 
 6. What's the longest queue you've ever been in? Was it worth it? Queue=line but doesn't queue sound nicer?
 
On Black Friday this year my husband and I went to Kohl's at midnight to just because. The store was so busy once you got in the store and got your purchases it took hours to check out. We left with nothing. Did not want to wait in another line.

7. Besides Christmas, what is one thing you are looking forward to in the month of December?
 
Getting into my new house and out of this small apartment!!!!!!!!!!! With my furniture and ALL MY STUFF!!


8. Insert your own random thought here.
 
My 6 year old grandson is having some trouble with behaving right now. He is causing trouble at school. He told us in the beginning of the year the boys were picking on him. Well now he is always in defend mode and it is getting to the point where he is acting out even when he is told no by anyone.  This is suck a role change for him. He has had his fits in the past don't get me wrong, he is a little boy after all. But this is so very different and it breaks my heart. Please pray for him if you can. Please.
