Random Dozen:


1.Candy corn: Your thoughts ?

It's actually my favorite candy at this time of year.  I was introduced to eating it with peanuts and THAT is yummy, too.  Tastes like a salted nut roll.

2. Briefly, what was the first conversation you ever had with your spouse? (or best friend, if you're not married.) (Or someone significant, like your librarian.)

I honestly don't remember my first conversation with my hubby.  We were good friends as 4-H Ambassadors for so long ... the first conversation could have been something about 4-H.  We also attended the same college. 

I do remember our conversation before we started 'seeing' each other, though.  He walked me back to my fraternity (I lived in a women's fraternity my last three years of college) from the opening dance at college.  He asked me to the FarmHouse Fall Formal Dance.  However, he'd had a serious girlfriend the whole time I'd known him and I wanted him to make sure that was over before we started spending any time together.  So, I didn't give him an answer until I was sure ... probably after our first 'date' when we talked again.

3. Could you ever become a vegetarian?

No way.  I really like meat, especially steak and prime rib!

4. Have you ever dressed up your pet in a costume?

No.  Unless you count the kittens my cousin and I played with while visiting grandma on the farm.  We'd dress them and stroll them around in the carriage.

5. Name something about childhood that you miss (like Clark Bars, Tea berry Gum, Malibu Barbie, cracking fake eggs on people's heads with your fist and "It's the Great Pumpkin" airing only once a year).

I miss the unlimited reading I 'got away' with!

6. Have you ever won a trophy? If not, what do you deserve a trophy for?

Yes, I do have a few.  My first was for Outstanding Junior 4-Her when I was in the 7th grade.  And where are they now??  In a tub while I decide what to do with them.

7. When do you think is the appropriate time to begin playing Christmas music each year?

The day after Thanksgiving.

8. What is your favorite board game?

Monopoly and Scrabble.

9. How do you feel about surprises (receiving, not giving)?

I dont' mind when they are gifts, but other surprises are not quite as fun IMHO.

10. Is it easy for you to say "I'm sorry?"

No, but when I should, I make myself.

11. What is your favorite candle scent?

I don't think I have a favorite.

12. October is traditionally "open house" time in public schools. If you had a literal open house in your home (like a reception) what light snacks would you serve visitors and what would you show them (as in art projects, graded papers) that would uniquely represent you?

Caramel corn and warm apple cider or hot cocoa would be served.  As far as what I'd show them???  ... probably my quilts or sewing projects.


If you play along, let me know so I can come see how you answered.
