7 Quick Takes

From a website I so understand...Testosterhome.  [She has five male children and a husband.  Then  she had a daughter.  Bless her!]

The concept of 7 quick takes is from Conversationdiary.  On Friday, one blogs about seven quick things, one for every day of the week.  Or in my case, seven random things.

Here I go...

1. Lake effect snow is unpredictable.  There are only a few places in the world that experience this phenomenon.  I happen to live in one of them.  What makes it most entertaining is that some folks seem to think that it is no big deal.  Really?  Three feet of snow on the roads is "no big deal"?  They fly around like it is the Olympic ice driving course and wonder why they end up in the ditch.  The news is actually entertaining during one of these storms.

2. Boys hit.  'nuf said.

3. I will never get all my shopping for Christmas done before Thanksgiving no matter how hard I try.  This year I remembered all the random school gifts but forgot my one SIL and , gasp!, my In Laws.  How did that happen?

4. I love making cookies for the season.  Not the sugar thing, I think it is just the different things one finds in Christmas cookies.  Like cardamom.  And molasses.  Yum.

5. Craig's List will never be successful for me.  I have posted our Little People (rarely used)  a week or so ago and haven't even got one hit.  Sigh.

6. The Waving Santa has truly become an obsession for my son.  He has begun sitting in a chair by a window so that he can stare at it's form in the snow, whether it is inflated or not.  He has begun tying a latex glove to a straw to pretend that it is inflating; including laying on the floor and slowly rising like some kind of yoga move. He has even stated that he wants to be a Waving Santa for Halloween next year.  (I may be good at costumes, but this one is going to take a while to do.)  Once this thing dies or rips, DadOfAllTrades and I may have big trouble on our hands.

7. We do not have a tree to decorate yet.  DadOfAllTrades wants to paint a room, impromptu style, before guests arrive on the 24th, and I have a million presents to wrap.  Ahh, the holidays.

There you go-the first seven things that popped into my head today.  I might make this a habit.  That was fun!
