Bake Cookies Day I really miss doing this. Used to bake up a storm every Christmas season. But I can't trust myself not to pig out on them - can't have cookies in the house. Have lost a lot of weight in the past 13 months by NOT eating stuff like that. But I still miss it like crazy.
Flake Appreciation Day Occasionally, I have a day when I feel like a flake! If you're talking about snowflakes, I LOVE 'em!
International Migrants Day
Wear A Plunger On Your Head Day Uh....no thanks! You don't know where it's been! Bwahahaha!

Have a great weekend everybody!

And it's the day before Christmas...but I might have to shop tomorrow incase the store might run out of the coat I need.

Great timing on the question SunCoast Guy, but u want too many details, so I shall modify just a bit

If someone is footing the bill for Christmas Dinner and cooking I am going to insist of fresh organic veggies from Ophrah's garden and Obama's too. And the most expensive hard to find fresh seafood; plus allot of beef baby.

My quote for the day is "live on both feet and don't lay down until u have to."

Happy Saturday to all yall and much love and peace

Good Happy Saturday Everybody!!

Today's Question:

So... what will be on the menu for Christmas dinner ? I'm leaning towards lamb shanks in the slow cooker with potatoes, carrots, onions, and mushrooms, in a red wine balsamic reduction. I serve up many appetizers on Christmas Eve and a simple dinner the next day is something I appreciate... plus it's delicious!

What percent of your Christmas shopping would you say you have now completed? 95% was done by writing a check, so that part is done. The rest I'm working on.

Any last minute shoppers out there ? (Be honests.... Your percentages will kind of determine that!) I don't have to pick up much, I do have to complete making some things.

Bonus Questiona:

List your top three favorite TV channels.

1. Fox News
2. HGTV
3. TRU TV

AND/OR

If you don't watch TV, then list your top three favorite internet websites.
