Aw man!

@ 02:29 PM (21 months, 27 days ago)

I'm barely back from my trip to Minnesota when BAM!, EB tags me with one of those questionnaires we all know and love...

Okay,  I'll play. 

Things I want for Christmas:

1- My mom to get a real vacation from the overwhelming act of service that is her life.

2- My husband to find a well paying job closer to home or for his office to move 40 miles south ;-)

3- The world to suddenly become populated with honest, decent people who think of others first (and who allow others to merge into traffic ;-)

Things I absolutely don't want for Christmas:

1- To find out I didn't buy enough batteries :-0

2- Sweets!  Enough already, thanks!

3- Anyone to send my children toys that make noise... or worse yet, toys that make noise and don't have an on/off switch.

  4. 98% of a woman's charm is her mystique (the other 2% is her inability to be punctual ;-)

    Wouldn't want destroy the illusion for you, Michael.

  5. 98% of a woman's charm is whether or not she can cook the other 2% I'll leave to your imagination.

  6. "Ping"? Does that mean to smack somebody with one of my golf clubs? I would not like that. My clubs could be damged.

  8. Pat,
    We are missing so much about WP. Dear friends and neighbors, the sense of community, the two and a half minute commute... okay, not the winter :grin:

    Hope you've had a joyous holiday season and that 2007 is a wonderful year for you!
