Specific to this particular Thursday, I'm thankful I was finally able to get out of the house (we've been basically snowed in), get my current car up to the dealer for an estimate, and buy a new car, which should come in right in time for my current car to get into the shop. Once that comes back, hubby's car goes into the shop to get prettied up for his daughter. Once that comes back, she gets his car, he keeps my car, and the three car merry-go-round comes to an end. Bliss!:spin2:

^^Yes, I'd love to go back and have my mom's pot roast and gravy (her gravy was amazing), mashed potatoes, and mushrooms. I'd put so much gravy on everything, it looked like soup!:heart:

This is a toughie, 'cause I like moody, and it's a very moody album. But I've kinda fallen in love lately with the roundabout harmonies on the title track.

^Me likey. The only thing missing is a lighter.

Yes, an excellent snow melting day here in New Jersey. I got some little chores done after work this morning, and then went to sleep. I woke up in a too hot room and feel very migraine-y, so I may be going back to sleep for a while.

This was one of the easier ones. You Tell Me. I love a moody Tom.

TIL how much hitting that brick wall will cost me. Ick.:095:

1) Going to a big party or stay at home? I'm a home girl. I've never gone to a New Year's Party. 2) Will you be staying up late to watch the ball drop in Times Square? I always stay up late, but I doubt I'll have the TV on. 3) Will you make any New Year's resolutions? No, but I always like the idea of a new beginning. 4) Who do you think would make a good host for a Rockin' Out New Year's Eve? No idea. 5) Do you know the words to Auld Lang Syne? Just the chorus.

Now I see it. Very nice!

^Sorry, I can't see it, either, just a red X in a double box.

Didn't make it, but I'm here now!

More than 12, but less than 25. Chiro about once a month, doc every three months, a few dentist visits, and an eye doctor.

I was looking for The Witcher PC game for hubby's birthday. He's playing it right now!:003:

1. List five happy memories of 2010: Hubby finding his wedding ring Money received from a cancelled life insurance policy Finally meeting hubby's half sister and her family and really liking them all A new cute guy at work, just to make life more interesting;) Just driving around listening to music 2. Describe four things you've learned this year: That a General Power of Attorney doesn't include healthcare That I can't wear shorts to work, anymore. (Actually got sent home!) That most of hubby's family only calls when they need money. How to check Dad's blood sugar and give him insulin shots. 3. Which three relationships in your life have changed the most this year? Dad's finally respecting me My brother thinks all Dad's health problems are no big deal, but he doesn't have to deal with them Hubby's 'rich' brother is broke and needed to borrow money 4. Name two new places you went this year: We were all over Atlanta visiting hubby's family I actually shopped at a store (Coldwater Creek) that I've been meaning to for a few years, now. Very nice, but not cheap. 5. What one thing that you have done this year are you most proud of? Finally furnishing the living room after two years! It looks lovely.

COLD ham, stringbeans, mashed potatoes. Dad had meatloaf Ice cream birthday cake for dessert. Dad had sugarfree apple pie. I preferred the cheese and cracker snacks, actually, over everything else. I don't get the cold ham bit; it always shocks me that it's cold. We didn't grow up that way; cold ham was for sandwiches.

We did have a nice time at my brother's, but he has no consideration for the fact that hubby and I both had to work last night. He wanted us there at 2 p.m., and we basically had to go from there straight to work, hubby for 8:30, and me at 10. I was uncomfortably full, and we were both exhausted. It was a very rough night. We couldn't come up for Thanksgiving, so felt obligated, and I swear he was punishing us!

Can't have peanuts; one of my food sensitivities. Fart or Burp?

I love that it's my weekend, and that the Christmas madness is over.

Meowy KissMouse!:heart:

1. Did you put up a Christmas tree this year? No; never got around to it. Barely got the cards out. Not my best Christmas season ever. 2. Which do you prefer? Real or artificial tree? We've always used artificial; Dad was always afraid of a fire, but I'd like to try a little live tree at least once. 3. When you drove around this year, what did you like or dislike about other people’s Christmas decorations? I don't really like those giant inflatable decorations. The weather this month was really crappy, so only the diehards decorated. 4. How much did you pay attention to the messages on Christmas decorations in the stores this year? I'm rarely in stores, especially around now, and don't pay attention. 5. Your favorite store put up Christmas decorations, but the message only says, “Happy Holidays.” Are you offended or disappointed? I barely notice, and don't care. 6. When you need a gift for someone, but can't think of what to get them, what gift card would you buy them? A mall card.

Other. The family celebrates Christmas, but the adults don't buy each other gifts.

If It Makes You Happy? That's my favorite song of hers, ever!

Either one of the old fashioned cakes I make, depending on the time I have beforehand: Tomato Soup Cake, or Lekvar Cake. They look and sound odd, but are both delicious.

Still a card or two to do. Can't bake the birthday cake too early!
