    Yep, wish me luck too. I bought one at the end of this season, my first attempt at a GE. I ripped out a bunch of ivy, built up a little corner with bricks on hand, and filled it with native soil I had on hand plus a bag of whatever I had in the garden shed. Might have been compost, I don't recall. Gets morning sun in this location. Anyway, sink or swim little GE. Hope to see you in 2015. Good luck to yours TandM.

    Hi - no that isn't it. Thanks for answering my post. Guess it just ran away, but thanks - just didn't want to snub anyone who may have tried to answer. I am glad to be back on the site again I am enjoying all the posts. I love all kinds of crafts and am in the process of making ornaments for my primitive tree this year. All felt ornaments and am just about finished. Will be glad to start on something different. tiki222

    1. What are you wearing right now? Blue jeans and teal shirt What have I eaten today? Oh gee... For breakfast I had a smoked salmon salad, snack: watermellon and almonds lunch: orange and 80 calories worth of ice cream, snack: more watermellon and almonds. It is only 4! I had eyed a Lean Cuisine for dinner, but writing this I just realized what a pig I have been today so I might just skip. 3. What did you have for dinner last night? watermellon and almonds 4. What is your favorite flower in your flower garden? a 14 foot high jasmine 5. Other than the main colors in your home now, what colors would you like to change to? I would really like to someday own a gray Neoclassical with a slick black front door. Maybe that is just a reflex because it is the complete opposite of the yellow country Victorian we are finishing building now. 6. Are you an online shopper or do you prefer to go to a store in person? Either. I *love* to shop, but I never buy much. Getting out and visiting shops is thrilling enough for me that I don't feel like I need to buy the proverbial t-shirt. 7. If you do shop online, what is your favorite website, other than Amazon? Is Craigslist shopping?? I have been looking out for several things and prefer to buy vintage or antiques. Antique stores (in real life) just thrill me to no end. 8. Do you paint your nails? I break my nails on the darn piano and I only paint my nails when they are long... so not very often. 9. What one thing this week are you looking forward to doing? It is a weird week here, so I am just hoping that everything runs smoothly. A win would be no more poisonous snakes this week. What type of car do you drive and the color? We just bought a new vehicle wild color. All our vehicles end up some crazy color. They can't make a color that is too wild for us! :O)

    Oh boy. Where wouldn't I go!?!

    6. What does/did your parents do for a living?
    My father is a welder and my mother was a stay-at-home mom who has recently made a real career for herself. Go Mom!

    7. What name would you give yourself other than your given name? You MUST choose a different name!
    Hmmm...growing up I was always in awe of my older cousin, Lauren. I'll go with that.

    8. Off the top of your head, what is the best song ever written?
    Jack and Diane! I am not physically capable of turning the station while this song is on the radio. When Mellencamp sings "hold on to 16 as long as you can.." I swear to God I've cried. 16 doesn't seem so bad anymore.

    9. If you could have any animal in the world as a pet, (it would be tamed) what would you choose?
    A horse.

    1. Are you hosting Thanksgiving this year or will you be a guest?
      My family and I will be guests at my aunts beautiful home in rural Massachusetts. Perfect place for a Thanksgiving dinner! We eat in their barn and my uncle takes the younger kids on hay rides.

    First of all, Cyn427, is your dog's name Inspector?

    1. What are you wearing at this moment?
    Jeans, striped shirt, white sweater, shoes & socks, a red & white scarf around my shoulders because I'm cold (and it's not even winter yet!).

    2. What have you eaten today or plan on eating?
    Too many things to list - it's almost dinner time and I am about to make Curried Fall Vegetables over Basmati rice.

    3. What is your computer wallpaper/screen saver?
    Both the PC & the laptop have pictures of my youngest niece & nephew. My cell phone has Hilton Head beach pictures.

    4. What is your favorite vegetable? Only one!
    Hmmm, in season it would be a tomato. The rest of the year I guess it would be green beans but I really like just about every vegetable.

    5. If you were invisible, where would you go?
    Gee, I don't know. What I would like is the ability to re-materialzie like Bewitch. "Blink" I'm in Hilton Head. "Blink" I'm back home. Wouldn't travel be wonderful if you could do that and not wait in TSA lines or in traffic?

    6. What does/did your parents do for a living?
    My dad was a naval officer and then a banker. My mother was always a SAHM.

    7. What name would you give yourself other than your given name? You MUST choose a different name!
    I'm sorry I can't. I am so used to being Jean I can't imagine anything else. I don't ever remember wishing I had a different name. Jean was never trendy or too popular or too odd.

    8. Off the top of your head, what is the best song ever written?
    It's not the best ever written but hearing Morning Dance by Spyro Gyra always brings me joy.

    An elephant - as long as I don't have to clean up the yard after it.

    1. Are you hosting Thanksgiving this year or will you be a guest?
      We haven't decided if I will host or if one of my sisters will host. Either way if fine with me.

    Jean, we just called him Clouseau since he is not really high-falutin' enough for a title, although the way he sniffs around on walks does give him the air of a detective. He is just so goofy and joyful-Clouseau seemed to fit. Best dog ever!

    Love Spyro Gyra-blast from the past. That is why it is so darn hard to pick just one song/album.

    1. What are you wearing at this moment?

    Comfy blue sweater, jeans, white gym shoes.

    2. What have you eaten today or plan on eating?

    Pomegranate applesauce and some Yakisoba noodles for lunch, Chinese carryout for dinner. YUM!

    3. What is your computer wallpaper/screen saver?

    A bed of fallen leaves in a riot of fall colors, sprinkled with raindrops.

    4. What is your favorite vegetable? Only one!

    Only one? ThatâÂÂs tough. I guess onions for all they do in food and alone, but as a side dish veggie, probably brussel sprouts.

    5. If you were invisible, where would you go?

    Inside the Supreme Court as they deliberate.

    6. What does/did your parents do for a living?

    My late father (and he was late, for everything, LOL) was a family law and real estate attorney. Most honest guy in the world, and very smart. My mom hasnâÂÂt really worked much since they got married. She was an operator (witha real switchboard) for Michigan Bell before marriage. Worked a couple times part time, just for fun. Now retired, but the queen of immaculate homes and the best pie baker in the world.

    7. What name would you give yourself other than your given name? You MUST choose a different name!

    Almost anything would be better than Leslie. I have always loved the sound of Solange, but I think I would be something like Kellan.

    8. Off the top of your head, what is the best song ever written?

    Hallelujah Chorus by Handel is the one that comes to mind - and I am an atheist! LOL

    9. If you could have any animal in the world as a pet, (it would be tamed) what would you choose?

    I would take a pass. Animals are wonderful, but I would be fine without a pet, tho I love our dog Kassi.

    1. Are you hosting Thanksgiving this year or will you be a guest?

    We are having Thanksgiving for just the 4 of us on Saturday. Younger DS will be home from college, and asked if he could go with the girlfriend for part of the day to her family celebration. I just didnâÂÂt see the point in making the poor guy struggle through two meals, and I have to work every day that week but Thanksgiving, and DH is having some minor surgery on Friday. So it will be a warm and wonderful day on Saturday with DH, both the boys, and me - and Kassi eating turkey too, of course. We may stop by and see DHâÂÂs dad on Thursday for a quick visit. Not sure yet where he is going for dinner. My mom will be with my brother, so I am not welcome.

    Shannon, yes, but only if you had actually eaten the peaches and cottage cheese!

    And, you need to learn how to delegate! Assign dishes for your family members to bring!

  • Shannon01
    13 years ago

    Bumblebeez- I skipped the cottage cheese and peaches. Opted for some pringles and then a cup of cocoa puffs. I get late night munchies, it is horrible. I have no will power.

    As for the dishes. Oh yes, I am strategizing. No options either, I am simply calling and telling them what to bring.
