We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature--trees, flowers, grass--grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence...We need silence to be able to touch souls. --Mother Teresa

Random Dozen



1. Do you find it gross to share drinks with family? Friends?
Um.  Yes.  I do not share drinks.  Or straws or forks.  Ick.

2. What have you learned this year? (You didn't see a question of that weight coming, did you? At least not for #2.)
I really do not like grown ups.  WAIT.  I already knew that about myself.  OK.  I will man up on this one.  

I have learned that I can write for fun.  Even if nobody else is reading what I write, I enjoy writing.  And I might be funny.   

3. When do you dismantle the Christmas decorations?
New Year's Day.  

4. Something you wish to accomplish before the end of 2009 is:
A clean house.  Totally clean house.  Not just the rooms that don't have doors.  

5. How do you feel about winter (after Christmas)?
It sucks.  I hate winter.  I hate cold.  I hate cold.  And January takes FOR EV ER to get over....mainly because my birthday is in February and I do love my birthday.

6. Have you participated in after-Christmas sales?
Nope.  

7. Do you have plans for New Year's Eve?
Yep.  Homemade egg rolls, 3 Stooges marathon and a few games with the family.  

8. Is there anything special awaiting you in January?
Nothing comes to mind right now.  

9. If your life this year was a movie, what category or genre would it be? (Romance, Comedy, Drama, Thriller, Suspense, Farcical, etc.)
A romantic comedy.  

10. How much time per day do you spend blogging? Please do not lie. I will know.
Actual blogging on my blog...30 to 60 minutes.  Blog stalking?  Too much.  

11. Who runs your household?
The dog.  

12. Share one hope/dream for 2010.
 Gee.  This is tough.  Just one.  I dream of being debt free.

Oh, that last one is it for me too. I don't know if it will be done in 2010, but I know we're gonna try.

I would love to know how egg rolls and the 3 stooges marathon got paired up! Interesting...

And your answer to #4 cracked me up. Ditto.

Have a great new year!

Debt free would be FABULOUS! Our New Year's Resolution (only I haven't told my husband yet) is to stick to a budget so we can pay our debt down. Unfortunately we're both irresponsible with money, so it's going to take some work LOL!

You are a good writer and FUNNY that is what brings me back to your blog so often! :)

Gotta love someone who can own up to the dog running the house! :) I am with you on that last one, too. Maybe all of America is!

So glad to have found your blog in 2009. I enjoy coming back every day!
