  11. You're favorite food is Mexican and you live in So Cal - how is it possible that you have lived the last 26 years without trying guacamole? Try it! Try it now!!!

    My Grandma thinks she's a Mexican and makes the best Guacamole you have ever tasted - the absolute best!

  14. That must have taken forever but it was all very interesting. I'm going to try the vapo rub on feet thing for my baby son. He's been coughing for about two weeks now.

  15. When we get our short selves together someday, we'll not camp and watch "It's A Wonderful Life" AND "The Godfather" not in the morning while eating chocolate & the grilled cheese sandwiches I make very well, and drinking tea (& cocktails).

    Then we'll watch football, with one eyebrow raised.

    We end the day with rollerskating, then coloring (I still have a stack from when I was a kid).

    Super fun :D

  17. I am totally doing this. I did it way back, but somehow lost the list. You have inspired me to do it.

    Guacamole? Never? I am shocked!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Don't say you've never broken a bone! And if you do, throw salt at the computer!

    Superstitiously yours,
    Deb
