Good morning Karla...

I hope everyone had a great weekend...I attended a play this weekend at my grandson's high school in which he had a lead role...he's just a freshman and he did an awesome job!

I will try this again...I lost all my answers a little bit ago...where does it all go when you hit the wrong key? Grrrr...

So....here is my shortened version...

I wanted to shout, "Please just Stooooop", a few weeks ago at Halloween!....I'm cutting back on Christmas gift giving again this year since we have 9 birthdays right around Christmas...

I've never been in a bar alone or with anyone else, I've never gone to a movie, concert or play alone, but going into a restaurant alone doesn't bother me!

I wanted a touch-tone phone years ago when I first saw one on the Soap Opera "Santa Barbara".

I've seen "The Godfather" many times, I remember Luke & Laura getting married, but didn't watch!

Have a wonderful week QOTD friends!

I have no idea who Luke and Laura are, but i see they have something to do with daytime tv, so that explains why i have no idea who they are.


today in history:
1963 - touch-tone telephone introduced I remember when it used to cost a dollar extra a month to have touch tone work on your line.
1974 - nbc-tv began a two-night showing of "the godfather", starring marlon brando. With 90 million commercials and all the good stuff censored. No thank you.

Good Morning all you wonderful people!! My daughter's friend spent the whole weekend at our house. They had alot of fun, but I think I need another weekend to recouperate! Funny little story - They came in and woke me up in the middle of the night, so I am half out of it, and what I think I hear from my daughter is "She peed"! So I am thinking "Oh my gosh, her friend wet the bed!" A little strange, considering she is 11. So I get up and come downstairs, and realize that she said "Shane (our dog) peed"! Even better, my daughter was cleaning it up with my dish sponge!! I told them what I thought I heard, and we all had a good laugh! I still have no idea why my daughter thought she needed to wake me up to let me know the dog peed?!?!

Shh, you can tell us, we can keep your secret
Are you going to be doing any re-gifting this year?
No - I don't think we are even doing an adult gift exchange this year. We are just going to let it be all about the kids!

Have you ever done this and gotten busted?
No, I have never done the re-gifting thing. I must be pretty easy to read, because no one has ever given me something I didn't like or need!

When was the last time you wanted to shout "Stop - please just stoooop!"?
Last night when my kids were fighting. Actually I think I did yell that - - - along with a few other things!!

Have you ever gone by yourself to
The movies - No
A bar - No

I don't

How many of you know who Luke and Laura are?
Aren't they a couple from a soap opera??

Did you watch?
No

National Fast Food Day - Every once in a while that sounds good!
Touch Tone Telephone - I was telling my kids about dial phones over the weekend, they looked at me like I was a dinosaur!
Day For Tolerance Day - I think I used mine up last night!
Button Day -
Put a Spring In Your Step Day - I have to get used to heels again at my new job, so I am afraid if I put too much spring might hurt myself!

Well, I am off to get ready for work at my new job. It is farther from my house than my last one. It takes about 40 minutes to get there, so that will give my time to think about how nervous I am!! All of you have a great day!!

Happy Monday all. Karla you are right, the weekend went WAY too fast. Yikes!

Today's Question(s):

Shhh, you can tell us, we will keep your secret

Are you going to be doing any "re gifting" this year ?
With our current economic situation, I don't think we're going to be doing ANY gifting this year .

Have you ever done this and gotten " busted" ? I'm not sure...it is possible though!

A concert ? No
A play ? No

***These are funny questions, I was just mentioning to a friend the other day that I know I'm getting "older" because I don't mind doing any of the things listed above by myself. When I was younger I would be too "embarrassed". As my grandma always said, "I enjoy my company just fine." Or "I get along real well with me."


Just for Fun:

How many of you have seen "The Godfather" I don't think so. I have a really hard time sitting through a movie at home. I almost have to be at the theater to watch a whole movie. It drives my hubby crazy, and myself sometimes too. Maybe I have a mild form of ADD?

How many of you remember when Luke & Laura got married ?
Did you watch ? n/a



Today in History:
1824 - New York City's Fifth Avenue opens for business
can't wait to go to NYC one day for a visit. Preferably around the holidays.
1875 - William Bonwill, patents dental mallet to impact gold into cavities
Grandpa is a dentist. I'll have to let him know
1963 - Touch-tone telephone introduced
cool
1974 - NBC-TV began a two-night showing of "The Godfather", starring Marlon Brando. NBC paid Paramount Pictures $10 million for the showing of the picture.
$10 million in 1974?! Wow.
1981 - Luke marries Laura on General Hospital (16 million watch) lol I watched I remember dragging my little TV to work that day
Never got into soaps. Did like the trashy shows like Maury & Ricky Lake. Can't stand 'em now.


Word of the Day:
hoi polloi \hoi-puh-LOI\ , noun;

Touch-Tone Telephone Cool
Day for Tolerance Day I like this one
Button Day Random
Put a Spring in Your Step Day I need to spring my step to finish cleaning the house, shower, and then drive an hour to work.

Hello, hello, hello, everybody!

Today's Question(s):

Shhh, you can tell us, we will keep your secret

Are you going to be doing any "re gifting" this year ? I don't think we have anything to regift this year, but we've done it before. A couple of years ago I bought my husband a new digital camera that he'd asked for, and wouldn't you know that the company gift to all the employees was a digital camera! We already had one, plus the new one, and we sure didn't need three! But we knew my MIL didn't have one and would love to, so we wrapped the one from his company and gave it to her for Christmas. She's still using it, too!

Have you ever done this and gotten " busted" ? Nope.

Bonus Question:

When was the last time you just wanted to shout "Stop!! please just stooooooop" ? Hmmmm, can't recall. If something comes to mind, I'll update.

Extra Credit Question:

Have you ever gone by yourself to:
The movies ? Yep. An art house theater near my apartment brought back 5 classic Hitchcock flicks to the big screen and I walked over to see several of them by myself.
A bar ? No.
A fast food meal ? Of course, hasn't everyone?
A sit down really nice restaurant ? Yes.
A concert ? No.
A play ? No.

Just for Fun:

How many of you have seen "The Godfather" Can you believe I've never actually seen any of the Godfather movies?

How many of you remember when Luke & Laura got married ? I do!
Did you watch ? No. My college boyfriend and I were both Guiding Light fans, so we'd schedule our classes so that at least one of us could watch and then fill the other one in. It was fun!

Hope everyone has a springy-step day!
