*I heard a commercial this morning for "energy gift certificates" from a local gas utility — "Give The Gift of Energy." Whoa, yeah, that’s what everyone wants in their stocking this year — frickin’ heat! It’s absolutely disgusting, and so very disheartening given all the other energy issues in the news at this point in time. No wonder I haven’t been able to lose the Scrooge.
gah! that’s like the email I got today introducing Pampers gift certificates! I know it’s practical and all, but what mom wants a Pampers gift certificate for Christmas??
Heh–I love your 8 ways…that’s me, too.
I love your new socks! I might have to knit those–they’ll be my first–because those look awfully cozy!
Nice job, Vicki. I like this meme because it’s a glimpse into everyone’s real life.
Ooooh, I went all through the maritimes a few years ago and it was one of the best trips EVER!! I highly recommend it 🙂
Love your list!
It’s nice to get to know you a bit better…scrooge or not.;-)
I WAS WITH YOU BOTH TIMES IN NEW YORK!!! YEAH! Dude – where’s New Jersey on that list?!
Do you know you only have seven ways to win your heart? You’re easy!
Great list, Vicki!!! I like the meme, cause it lets me get to know my favorite bloggers better.
And um, about spiders? ME TOO!!! Big time.
And I love Mackinac Island, but I’ve only been there once.
I love your log cabin socks too! Look very cozy.
I am not in the mood for Christmas either. Sigh. Interesting list. 🙂
here’s looking at you!
I love the socks. I loved the “Look at me that way”, it can definitely go both ways!
