I loved reading your answers!
Sorry you've had such a crazy week!
I have never had prime rib that I can recall, but I think I'm missing out. Do you make this every Christmas?
Fun meme...I might have to steal it since next week will be crazy and I know I won't have time to write.
Jackie, yes I make prime rib every year on christmas day. I have a great and easy recipe for it and if you like red meat.....you'll love prime rib!!
Every time I read your blog, I see how much we have in common; today is no different.
I don't miss snow either. We have an angel on top of our tree. We attend services Christmas eve. And on and on.
loved reading over your list! I will have to try that hot chocolate out next time I am by and Starbucks ~ sounds yummy
I loved the answer to #23. I think they meant after church though, :)
Sadly, #26 threw me for a second but then it hit me right between the eyes.
Thanks for taking the challenge.
Great MEME!!! Always fun to hear what you are thinking!
