    Stay home. I'm sooo done with going out on Friday nights, unless it's a good card game, but we usually do those on Saturday nights.

    1. What are you wearing right now?

    Ripped stained jeans and a sweatshirt (was skimming walls out so door casings will lie flat whenever we get around to installing them). Oh, and a bra ;-) underwear and socks.

    Umm, ashamed to admit it - 3 cups of coffee and a Poptart.

    Do mums count?

    4. Have you begun your Christmas shopping or making lists?

    Haven't even thought about it.

    5. What town/city were you born in?

    I'll skip this one.

    Whole-wheat zucchini bread (want some? I've got a fridge full).

    1. What are you wearing right now?
    Brown slacks, dark green long tank, multi-colored long-sleeved bolero-style sweater that ties at the waist, and brown high-heeled boots.

    2. What have you eaten today..if you haven't eaten yet, what did you eat for dinner yesterday?
    Oatmeal and coffee, my usual breakfast

    3. Do you decorate for Halloween?
    More for Fall, and only outdoors. I think I only have one Halloween decoration - a ghost that I hang on the porch. He holds a sign that says "BOO" - but that's only after I fixed it. When I brought it home, DH noticed that the sign actually read as "DOO", so I put a piece of black electrical tape in the center of the "D" and turned it into a "B". Still ... we call the little guy "DOO" now.

    4. Have you begun your Christmas shopping or making lists?
    No. We don't really do much in the way of gift exchanges anymore. We buy for our niece and nephew and a little token for our parents, but the days of going "all out" with the Christmas shopping are a thing of the past for us. And I like it that way. ;-)

    5. What town/city were you born in?
    Fort Worth, Texas

    6. What is your favorite Sweet Bread? ex: Banana bread, etc.
    I do love banana bread. Also cranberry-walnut.

    7. What was a favorite event of your childhood?
    Christmas Eve - being surrounded by family, fun, food, games ... it was magical for me.

    8. Who was your first celebrity crush?
    Probably Davey Jones of the Monkees.

    9. What do you do on Sundays?
    It depends. Oftentimes we stay at home and do light chores around the house, just kind of get ready for the week to come. With my grandparents in a nursing home an hour away, we will undoubtedly be making trips to see them on Sundays now.

    10. Would you rather stay home or go out on Friday nights?
    It depends. I enjoy doing both. We often go out earlier in the week, so Friday night isn't necessarily our only "date night".

    1. What are you wearing right now?
    Jeans, striped cotton sweater, shoes & socks

    2. What have you eaten today?
    Shredded wheat with yogurt & peaches, tea. I'm trying to figure out what to have for lunch.

    No shopping, no list making. I only buy about 4 gifts so it doesn't take much time.

    5. What town/city were you born in?
    Boston, Mass

    6. What is your favorite Sweet Bread?
    Hmmm, I dunno. Pumpkin is good. I won't turn down something with cranberry. I would turn down banana.

    7. What was a favorite event of your childhood?
    Getting my own pool pass (we lied and said I was 10 when I was only 9 1/2!) and being able to spend all day at the pool. We're walk home at lunch time for flutternutter sandwiches. (No, I will not be having that for lunch today. How did we ever eat that stuff??)

    8. Who was your first celebrity crush?
    Donny Osmond (I have never admitted that! Even at the time!!)
    Thinking about Aunt Jen's Monkees: I used to feel badly for Peter York (Tork? what was his name?)because I thought he wasn't cute and that nobody would like him. Later, when I "matured" a bit, I realized, he wasn't a bad looking guy and there were probably plenty of girls with crushes on him. At least I hoped so. As if it mattered to him at all......

    9. What do you do on Sundays?
    Laundry & watch the Simpson's are always on my schedule

    10. Would you rather stay home or go out on Friday nights?
    Depends on the weather, the activities of the preceeding week, what we might be doing later in the weekend. Today it's cold & rainy so most likely we'll stay in.

    Usually I'm tired and avoid going out, but when we do go out, I'm glad later, because it seems to make the weekend feel longer!

    1. What are you wearing right now?

    Black yoga pants, black t-shirt, and a big fuzzy black-and-white cardigan sweater. I need to go get some socks, my feet are cold.

    2. What have you eaten today..if you haven't eaten yet, what did you eat for dinner yesterday?

    Haven't eaten today. Didn't eat supper yesterday. Just don't care about food right now. I wouldn't starve to death for years, there's plenty in storage. *snicker*

    3. Do you decorate for Halloween?

    Not like most of our neighborhood does, they go WAY over the top. We keep it low-key - a couple of jack-o-lanterns with a raven perched atop one. Someone stole our black cats and we gave away the ugly "witch" to a neighbor who really liked it. Last year:

    We do not decorate inside. Too much hassle and I don't have room to store all that seasonal stuff.

    4. Have you begun your Christmas shopping or making lists?

    Heck no. (Substitute "Yule" for "Christmas".) I'll check out the Edward R. Hamilton discount book catalog when we have the cash to blow but right now we're in the hole. Otherwise one 3-year-old gets a present (a book or three, I'm the evil auntie who never sends toys, only books), I'll scrounge through the regift box for a couple of other people, and that'd be the extent of it. I haven't actually decided if we're going to make fruitcakes this year, since all the ingredients run a good hundred bucks (I use all real fruit, not that neon candied crap) if all the usual recipients get their cake. Since they must be made Thanksgiving weekend at the latest in time to cure for Yule/Christmas, I have time to decide.

    5. What town/city were you born in?

    midcoast Maine

    6. What is your favorite Sweet Bread? ex: Banana bread, etc.

    Cranberry orange.

    7. What was a favorite event of your childhood?

    Earning my way to Girl Scout horse camp on Cookie Credits. "My" horse was an enormous bay mongrel named General, although I wanted the little dapple gray named T.S. (because he WAS a "tough s***", stubborn and prone to biting, but a pocketful of sweet feed would "sweeten" his temper) because we had similar temperaments. LOL

    8. Who was your first celebrity crush?

    Nick Rhodes of Duran Duran. Sadly, he's deteriorated into looking rather like a chunky old drag queen. :-(

    9. What do you do on Sundays?

    In season, watch football. Do laundry. Maybe do some cooking or grocery shopping for the week. This summer every Sunday that even had marginally decent weather got eaten by the porch (which is STILL not finished, there are a lot of things we're going to have to live with for the winter and finish in the spring. Which makes me want to firebomb the house, because we already had a mile-long list for NEXT summer).

    10. Would you rather stay home or go out on Friday nights?

    Depends on whether I'm too tired to do anything (which I usually am). We like to go to the Irish pub and listen to the musicians but that gets pricey. I'm not a partying person at all though. DH sometimes goes out with a friend while I stay home (since it's his friend, not mine).

    Let's be clear about this issue. I eat. All the time. Last night -- I admit to opening one of those Bertoli frozen pasta-with-shrimp. Did it in the microwave in 11 minutes and it was great! Was exhausted from clearing and cleaning the garden. Sore back today! For breakfast -- tea-n-toast. Now drinking coffee and thinking about making banana bread.

    3. Do you decorate for Halloween?

    We live on Lot 13 on Cemetery Hill. Yes. We do decorate with a wonderful graveyard theme. Make our own ghouls too! Trying to convince DH to re-build the giant spider because the kids love it! LOL! Had far fewer kids last year BUT one memorable moment when a little boy (dressed as a vampire) danced up to me and said: "I just LOVE your house!" Makes the trouble and work -- very worthwhile. Still need to get the stuff from the attic!

    10. Would you rather stay home or go out on Friday nights?

    Out! There are some wonderful restaurants (and in other parts of town too!) We like to go to Sherlocks (British-style pub) for fish-and-chips and there's no cover for the bands. WISH there was a real pub with Celtic music!!! Sigh. BUT -- the fish-and-chips are really good! I LOVE trying out restaurants too! :) ((yeah -- its always about FOOD with me!! LOL))
