1. I always get a real tree!
2. In New Orleans they take your tree to use to help preserve the wetlands so really if you think about it I am doing my part for conservation and wildlife (Square..If you are unsure about what to do you could always send your tree down here to help preserve :) )
3. I have not done any Christmas shopping yet.
4. The more I have to do the more I get done...usually.
5. I want the Saints to go to the Superbowl.
6. I would probably just settle on them even getting close.
7. I hope I didn't just break the rule about telling a story.
8. I like Ann Rice too and although I live in town have only ever seen one of her houses...and that's only because ya can't miss it..
9. I would rather read than watch tv, but I'm the only one in my house who feels that way.

Square, get a live tree, then apply for Ground Force to come and re-do your 5x5 garden and Charlie will plant it and make you a water feature. See...problem solved.

1. Due to allergies, we always have an artificial tree.
2. My ornaments are baking in the oven as I type.
3. I locked the kids in Caleb's room until we're ready to paint.
4. They poke their heads out every 30 seconds to ask if the ornaments are ready to be painted yet.
5. The girls are already down to their pants and socks. At least they still have their pants on!
6. My mom is mad at me cuz I can't take her to run an errand today since I have all the kids.
7. They are about to drive me wacky, but I'm still having fun.
8. We're going to make reindeers by tracing the kids shoes.
9. I hope the ornaments are done quickly or the kids heads will explode from impatience.
10. I would love it if someone gave me a timeout!!

1. War, I'm sure if you ask really nice MsMoon will ground you; will that work?
2. I don't know why I'm back here again.
3. I am glad Squared has reappeared.
4. I am wondering if Squared injured her foot stalking somebody in the parking lot.
5. I apologize for jumping in here with nothing to contribute but smart *ss remarks.
6. I never had Christmas trees until I got divorced ("too much trouble") but once I was single I went hogwild with real trees for several years.
7. Now I have a nice artificial tree that I use.
8. My old kittie, Tootsie, was very sick during the night and I hope I'll have time to watch The Amazing Race because I have lots of....um....kitty accidents to clean up tonight before my cleaning ladies come tomorrow. :)
9. Toots is feeling much better today.
10. I feel like I've gotten to know some of you much better because of the items that have been posted in this thread, and I'm grateful to Whit for starting it.
11. I think MsMoon is a famous celebrity and is hiding it from us.

3) I loved Little Archie and Richie Rich comics when I was a kid.

4) I love rocky road ice cream, but it was better when I wss young!

5) I weighed 114 lbs when I got prego... 114 lbs a week after I was done being prego... and 114 pounds for the next 18 years lol.

Square, I was reading too fast and I thought you said you had a b*tchin haircut.

Ice is good for a swollen foot.... expert here.

When my mom was little, they told their dad they were leaving home cause he was mean....he packed them little hobo bundles on sticks and pushed them out the door.

LOL! I was talking to my son last night about flying down here, and it jogged some memories. So, I have a "flying" theme fact list this time.

1. One time, a long time ago, I took the red eye from Miami to Boston, and there was only one other passenger on the plane with me.

2. We watched the sun come up togother along with the crew. It was a wonderful flight and I wish everyone could experience air travel like that at least once.

3. Another time, I got bumped to first class. This was back when first class was more than just a drawn curtian across the aisle.

4. I was seated next to a charming man and was served an elegant meal, but I don't remember too much of it because I drank too much champaigne

5. A few years later, my husband and I were on a wide body, and it was so empty we each got to take a row in the middle section, put the arm rests up, and stretch out and sleep the whole flight.

6. One time, while waiting for a flight in San Diego, a limo pulled up right in front of us, and Annete Benning stepped out. She looked more attrative in person, and she had lots of expensive looking shopping bags with her.

7. Warren Beaty wasn't with her

8. Then another time, I injured my leg while on vacation, and we had to fly home early. I was on crutches, the flight was jammed and there was a sceaming kid in back of us. I was in pain and it was just horrible. I've never had a really good flight since.

9. Off of plane stories

10. One early summer Sunday morning on Cape Cod, my husband and I saw Bob Villa and a friend come out of a bakery looking guilty and giggling and holding boxes of pastry.

11. My husband yelled out, "Hey! Its Bob Villa!" really loud right at him and I was so mortified! lol!

12. When my son calls and leaves a message on my answering machine, I save it so I can listen to his voice when I start missing him too much.

13. What else.....

14. I think teachers are underpaid

15. I don't like Matt Lauers buzzed off hair cut

16. I can think of two tvchers that haven't posted to this thread yet that I wish would

17. I'm so excited its Survivor night!
