"If you looked up triceratops in the dictionary, there might be a picture of me."
Did you or family and friends get any of the recent snowfalls?
snowing now. They're saying 2-4 inches.
Do you have store or credit cards taht get you discounts or savings on fuel or air travel or anything else?
Only Lowes. 5% on charged stuff. Came in handy when I remodeled the kitchen. Got the discount, then paid it off before interest was charged.

-What scent have you been pleasantly surprised by?
in the lobby of the grocery store, there's some cinnamon scented cones. Rather over-powering for a home I think but really nice when getting just a whiff.

-Can you think of another problem it's nice to have?
maybe a cat that tries to hog the bed?
Foodie Question(s): Do you have more stews, casseroles or warm weather foods this time of year, and if so, can you give an example?

Today's Question(s)?: How are you doing? Fine and dandy, thank you. Though I'm up way past my bedtime. I need to hit the sack as soon as I finish answering these Q's.
Did you or family and friends get any of the recent snowfalls? It's snowing here right now! Weatherman said we may have a hazardous commute on Thursday morning.
Do you have store or credit cards taht get you discounts or savings on fuel or air travel or anything else? Yep. I have a credit card that gives me cash back on everything, including 2% on gas all the time.
Recently at a Christmas tree sales lot I was pleasantly surprised by the strong pine scent. -What scent have you been pleasantly surprised by? I'll see your pine scent and raise you a cinnamon candle. I have a real Christmas tree in my living room and it's the most fragrant one I've had in years. It's very fresh and the needles are soft. Lovely!
When getting cash back or change at the grocery store the bills are too new and stick together. -Can you think of another problem it's nice to have? Hmmm. Too many choices when I open my refrigerator or pantry. It makes me feel so blessed that I'm not homeless and hungry.
Foodie Question(s): Do you have more stews, casseroles or warm weather foods this time of year, and if so, can you give an example? Yes. I make homemade soups year round, but I make more chili and stuff like spaghetti sauce when the weather's cold. I keep my house fairly cool (64-65) unless I have company, and a hot, stick-to-the-ribs meal keeps me toasty.
