Mindless Meme-ing On Saturday Morning

Found over at Jay’s.Â
1. Christmas tree: pine or cedar?
Artficial and pre-lit. It saves me an entire day of obsessing over the lights. I used to get a real tree, but it bothers my son’s allergies too much.
2. Name two dumb things you did as a kid.
My friend and I used to ride our bikes over to the train tracks and put pennies on the tracks. Why this was entertaining, I have no idea! Another time, we decided to save the trouble of taking a bath that evening and got out a big bottle of bubbles (the kind you blow) and washed our hair in the swimming pool. Bad idea for multiple reasons!
3. What foods did your mom used to make that you will never, ever cook.
Turkey pot pie and anything that has gravy on it.
4. Describe the place you go to in your head when you need to calm down.
I don’t do that.

I’ve seen lots of things that I can’t explain!

Beach bum.Â
7. Did you ever fall off a horse and get right back on?
I’ve never fallen off a horse, even when I rode bare back.Â
8. What name did you call a sibling that was sure to start a fight?
We didn’t call names. That would be a sure-fire way to get in major trouble.Â

I’ve only been to a garage sale twice in my life, so not much.

Well, this was lots of fun to read! You made me want a lemon drop martini! This recipe sounds yummy. My niece makes something similar with basil that she discovered in a bar in the French Quarter. I think I’d have to answer yes to number five, though I seldom admit it. I checked out the v. cute calendar because I had never heard of Anne Taintor. Who is she, anyway? Sorry to be obtuse. Hope you’re having a lovely Saturday, and your favorite day still looms large. Yes, I have eight more to go before returning to la boite.
Swiped.
