In an effort to get to know fellow bloggers a bit better, I am participating in Meet Me on Monday. It is a fun way to see what the rest of the blogging world is up to. There are a few surprises and funny answers. Want to participate? Click on the Meet Me on Monday button.

Questions:

1. Tomorrow I’m going to _________?
Do the end of the month of November’s book work for our business. I have put it off so long that it will soon be time to do December’s books.

2. Pudding or Jello? I love jello fixed with orange sherbert and mandarin oranges. Yummy!

3. What book are you currently reading? None at the moment. I just finished reading The Choice.

4. What is the first concert you went to see? Barry Manilow! Oh my gosh, does that date me!

5. What is your current weather? Brrr, it is 18 degrees outside. I have to wear my gloves or my hands will start to crack and bleed. I hate winter.

Questions:

1. I really need to clean my _________?
Quilt books and patterns. They have been thrown in a pile and look very messy.
2. What food makes you think of Christmas?eggnog

3. If you could choose to stay a certain age forever, what age would it be? 25, that is when my first child was born. I would love to have kept her a baby forever.
4. What was your first paying job?I drove an ice cream truck.
5. Have you read the Twilight series?Yes, I have. I worry about the effect the latest movie will have on teen pregnancy. I haven’t seen Breaking Dawn yet so I am hoping it is dealt with in a good way since so many impressionable young people will watch this movie.

I have been following along, reading blogs who participate in this meme and it is always enlightening. I think I shall join in!
1. I wish I had more time to _________?
Sleep. Even on the days when I could sleep in, I can’t seem to do it. It drives me crazy!

2. What is your favorite kind of soup?
I love Panera Bread’s potato soup. Unfortunately, it doesn’t like me back. Oh wait! that is a good thing cuz it is really fattening so I should stay away from it anyways!

3. Where will you eat Thanksgiving dinner? At my sister’s house in Kentucky. I cannot wait! Our daughter is joining us there. I’ll miss being with our son and his wife though. They are traveling to a wedding up north.

4. What is your favorite time of day? 5:00 pm. I have just closed the store and get to decide what project I am going to tackle for the evening.

5. Did you start Christmas shopping yet?
I don’t plan to do much shopping this year. Our kids are at a stage in their lives when they need some things for their homes and we plan to help where we are able. That means cutting back on shopping. I’ll buy a few things for the Grandmas and that will be it. I hope I don’t cave!

The theme this week at Heads or Tails is cup.

I received the soup cups I ordered from the Etsy shop, Sunbury Village Yarns. I love using them and think they look pretty hanging on my shelf too!

Join us at Heads or Tails. You will have fun and meet some pretty cool people.
