To the one I love
A year ago today
Things were on the verge of being entirely different
But here we are today
Still together
Forever
In Love.

Last week’s Friday Five:

1. Do you like to shop? Why or why not?

Depends on what I am shopping for… I do not like to shop for clothes unless my timeframe is not limited. I need about three to four hours for a good clothes shopping experience. I love shopping for anything technical anytime.

2. What was the last thing you purchased?

Some presents for Christmas.

3. Do you prefer shopping online or at an actual store? Why?

I enjoy shopping online only if I know exactly what I am getting. Otherwise I need to shop in an actual store to try on clothes or get that hands on experience with the product.

4. Did you get an allowance as a child? How much was it?

I did not get any official allowance, but Papa always gave me change here and there and when I was about 12 or 13 Mama gave me about $20 a week for doing chores. Well, I guess that was an official allowance…

5. What was the last thing you regret purchasing?

Something fun to make your day go by…

1. Do they have a 4th of July in England?

2. How many birthdays does the average man have?

3. Some months have 31 days; how many have 28?

4. How many outs are there in an inning?

5. Is it legal for a man in California to marry his widow’s sister?

6. Divide 30 by ½ and add 10. What is the answer?

7. If there are 3 apples and you take away 2, how many do you have?

8. A doctor gives you three pills telling you to take one every half hour. How many minutes would the pills last?

9. A farmer has 17 sheep, and all but 9 die. How many are left?

10. How many animals of the same sex did Moses take on the ark?

11. How many two cent stamps are there in a dozen?

…Post your answers in the comment box and I will post the correct answers tomorrow.

Thanksgiving was a very lovely day for JT and I…

Last Wednesday night, I boiled the sweet potatoes, cut up the red, yellow and green peppers, green onions, carrots and cucumbers then placed them in a plastic container with Mrs. Dash and about two tablespoons of red wine. I let the vegetables marinate over night *yummy* I also baked the corn bread and cut up green onions and celery for the stuffing. I let JT cut up the yellow onions because I just cannot tolerate my eyes watering the entire time while cutting them. I realized I should have started all of this as soon as I got home that evening, instead of chatting online and doing other random stuff. So around 2am, I started getting REALLY tired. Meanwhile JT was preparing the turkey and defrosting the chicken wings. We both fell out at 3:30am… next thing I know it is 6ish and JT is making me get up. I am grumpy than a mug when I am awaken out of my sleep like that. Thankfully, JT is used to it and he was mighty patient with me while I struggled for about 15 minutes to wake up lol…

When I (somewhat) got my mind set together, I began preparing the stuffing. I dazed off several times as I crumbed the soft cornbread in my hands… then I poured the chicken broth, cut up celery and onions in and sprinkled a bunch of sage on the mix. JT and I sampled the results to make sure I had enough of everything… something was missing… SUGAR. I sprinkled some sugar in… I began to panic because I did not have enough aluminum baking pans (or so I thought at the time). I dug around for anything that would work and I found a bunch of new eight inch cake pans, and I had just enough for my sweet potatoes and stuffing which both used three cake pans. Stuffing and yams in a cake pan… ghetto I know, but hey it worked. While baking the stuffing, I began to clean up the apartment since Mama was coming over later. Then JT and I took turns, while I cooked, he cleaned and vice versa.
