1. Share your Christmas Eve traditions.
We usually go to an early church service and then head over to my in-laws for dinner. We always have Kentucky Fried Chicken for dinner. I don't know why; it's a tradition they started before I joined the family; but it's nice not to have to cook a meal that night. Then we open gifts with them and my husband's sister's family from Minnesota. It's my favorite part of the Christmas celebration apart from the time with just our little family on Christmas morning.
2. What was the best book you read in 2010? (we're not going to include the Bible here)
The Knight by Steven James. Part of a great suspense series!
3. Do you have pets and if so do you allow them on the furniture?
Technically we have 2 pets. The fish is definately not allowed on the furniture! haha But the puppy has been on the couch. He's non-shedding, so it doesn't create a mess. He's too little to get up by himself, but has been brought up there to sit with us.
4. What event in 2010 are you most thankful for?
2010 was a tough year for me. I feel likes it's hard to come up with something. I'm still saddened by the miscarriage I had this year and am still sort of searching for what to do with myself and which path to pursue for a "job" apart from being a mom, which seems to consume most of my time right now, but lately leaves me missing some of the pats on the back that a job used to give me. As far as gratitude in 2010? I'm grateful my husband still has a job and has his health again this year.
5. What did you do in 2010 that you'd never done before?
I started working out regularly at the Y and taking a zumba class. Fun!
6. Brussel sprouts...friend or foe?
Not a fan.
7. Who would you nominate for man/woman of the year?
My husband! He puts up with all my health issues and my complaining about my health issues and my worrying about him and loves me anyway.
8. Insert your own random thought here.
I feel like I have big plans for 2011. I will hit a milestone birthday this year that starts with a four and I want to use it as the impetus to make some changes. I need to start thinking more positively about life and about myself.
