Three random things I did this past weekend:
- Went to a friend's annual Girl's Night In Wine and Whine Party. Yes, there was a sign on the door that said No Men Allowed (apparently they have cooties). Yes, much wine was consumed. Yes, it was much fun.
- Went to the park during a snow storm with two little girls under the age of seven. Yes, it is true that no boys were invited (I have been told they have cooties) Yes, snow angels were made. Yes, it was much fun.
- Spent an entire day reading and allowing myself to become lost in thoughts about someone special. Yes, it is possible he has cooties (he is after all a man who was once a boy). Yes, it is true that I still have not said who he is. Yes, that is part of the fun.
Your turn. Name three random things you did this past weekend.
1. made peppermint bark
2. went to an old friends holiday party
3. spent 5 hours sitting in front of the computer playing bejeweled.

Michele - caspar is surprised that you have not kept up with the recent trends re your aversion to men/boys at certain events. Apparently doctors and researchers from all of the civilized world, and Canada too, have worked on making, perfecting and marketing cootie shots to secure immunity.

1. Made 6 pounds of fudge.
2. Made 7 pounds of almond bark and 2 pounds of peppermint bark. (It's easy to do; just twist their tails.)
3. Made ten loaves of homemade bread.
4. Gave it all away, every last bit.

1. Went to a Christmas Party where we ate cheese and nibblies and played Christmas games by a warm fire. We all brought toys for a toy drive that reflected our most-beloved childhood toy...I brought a kaleidoscopic set of 100 felt-markers, complete with their own carrying case (cuz you never know when you might need a periwinkle felt marker).
2. Finished my short-story submission for my editor in Canada.
3. Saw a drearie-dull musical but was consoled by a bownie at intermission.

Lit a fire in the fireplace.
Took pictures of the cat in front of the fireplace.
Immersed myself in the cat's fascination of the fire, so much so that I out a bed in frotn of the fireplace for him.

1. Sang with my chorus in the middle of a holiday-shopping-crazed mall, blowing out our vocal chords because someone wouldn't turn off the infinity pool fountain.
2. Went grocery shopping with my wife and tried out one of those new scan-as-you-go gizmos that let you bag up as you move through the store. Pretty nifty.
3. Shoveled the heavy, wet snow berm left as the two backhoes-with-plow-blades came through on our side of the street on Sunday evening. (but the credit for clearing the other 8 inches goes to my wife.)

1. Drove 2 1/2 hours, in snow and ice, to bring my mom and sister to the KC airport, then drove BACK in the same cruddy weather.
2. Went to a concert put on by the 1st Infantry Division Band, conducted and commanded by my loving hubby!
3. Cleaned up after my family members went home...you know, run extra sheets and towels through the wash, put stuff away, etc....

1. Said goodbye to our beloved old, old dog, who finally couldn't stand any more. Sad, but at the same time we remember many many times of great joy with her.
2. Had early christmas dinners with lots of people who won't actually be around for the day itself.
3. Made much larger batches of food (soup and bread) than we could eat by ourselves so that we could give away 80% of it to friends having medical travels. We were inspired to do this by Kenju's recent experiences with people helping her family out.
