Don't laugh, but I am going to try to walk 1000 miles next year. Actually, I'm really determined to do it so we can even remove the words "going to try". It's my victory lap! (anyone who wishes to join me is welcome to do so!)

Have you ever used the line "You are better at it than I am" to "convince" someone to do something you didn't want to do ?
Sure - because a lot of the time, that person IS better at it than I am!

Eat a Cranberry Day

Did you know that the cranberry is also known as the bounce berry? The reason (I think) is because if you bounce it on a hard surface as it doesn't bounce, it's not fit for eating. Aaahhh the things you learn at Karla's QOTD!

Today's Question(s):

Don't laugh, but I am going to try to convince hubby to get me a new stuffed animal for Christmas (and I don't mean an edible one, lol)


Extra credit Question

Wow !! I never thought getting a silly little document from our doctor's (for our insurance company) would be so much work

lol if not, how many of you are now thinking "hmmm I need to give that a try" ? I do need to give it a try!


Just for Fun:

What was the last thing that had you saying "Oh cool, I need one of those !!!!" I can't remember how it's called, but it's a device supposed to firm women's arms - saw that in a silly infomercial. So I told hubby "oh I need one of those"! Of course, it was a joke, but hubby told me he'd get me one for Christmas if I want to.


Today is:
National Espresso Day Espresso is too strong for me
Eat a Cranberry Day
