Nothing special on my birthdays. I always had a family party for my daughter's birthdays when they were younger. My older daughter just had her 29th birthday. Her sister and I are planning a spa day for her 30th. Bonus Question:
With Halloween getting closer, lets see how creative our QOTD family is when it comes to
Halloween Costumes !!!!
What are some of the Halloween Costumes you have worn in the past ? One year we were part of a haunted hay ride. My sisters wrapped me up.... I now know why mummies walk the way they do. My mother used to put on a show for the kids. One year she had a coffin in the dining room. She was in it.
When was the last time you wore a costume ? Not for a while.
Extra Credit Question:
Now that the weather has gotten cooler, are there any " I do it when the cool weather gets here projects" waiting for you ? I started to crochet again when my daughter was expecting. Now that I know I can still (sort of) do it I'm thinking of making a blanket for my younger daughter who was married in August.
Just for Fun:
For those with cell phones do you have a special ring tone ? I didn't have a cell until recently when my daughter got me one for when I'm traveling alone. I often go to shows hours away and travel home in early morning hours. No special ring.
Today's Question(s): In yesterdays thread,shannonM mentioned her son is turning 21 and they are going to Vegas to celebrate !! It got me thinking about those special b-days so
Did you do anything special to celebrate the "Big Birthdays" like.... Not really.....we, as in family, all get together and the B'day person gets to pick the place of their favorite eats and we all meet there together. Enjoying the fellowship, food, and of course the B'day person will open their gifts. Our Family has always focused more so toward the children. But of course the parents will also do the thing individually with their children w/their friends.
Bonus Question:
When was the last time you wore a Halloween costume ? About 30 yrs ago...
Extra Credit Question: Now that the weather has gotten cooler, are there any " I do it when the cool weather gets here projects" waiting for you ? Not really! Actually ......There is one project. All summer I would purchase books of interest to put away for the winter. Dang, I have all those books to read....
Just for Fun: For those with cell phones do you have a special ring tone ? Yes...
Do you have separate ring tones for different people ? Oh, yes and some pretty funny one's at that!

I am not big into costumes...I have worn masks..(too hot)...and sorta dressed in cast-off clothing or wrapped myself up in some sort of shmatte and carried a jack-o-lantern when I answer the door for trick or treaters....but no real creative costumes for me.

When was the last time you wore a costume ?
It was about 10 years ago. I went to work as UNITOR. We sold and serviced some equip make in Denmark. The translator, who did their parts manual, was at times weak. He translated a spacer as a "space peace". Some items did not fit Unitor (a model not sold in the US). It seemed a natural jump to assume UNITOR was the alien who signed the Space Peace Treaty. I wore a multi colored helmet with rubber darts stuck to it to look like antenna. Put blue (Mfg's colors) make-up on my face and arms. I actually make coffee come out of a co-workers nose when I walked in.

One day my husband was in the shower and his cellphone rang and I thought it was playing "Batman" (it was actually the Pink Panther theme_and I answered, "Hello, Batman!" There was dead silence for a second or 2 and then a girl says very hesitantly, "Uh....I think I have the wrong number!" to which I responded, "Uh,....I think you do too!"

Not much for me to comment on today.....we have no problem with celebrating birthdays, but it is extremely rare in our household.
We do not "do" halloween.
And we do not have cell phones.
My cool weather chore is bringing in my potted plants. Most of that is already done.
