Today, I opted to participate in the Random Dozen by 2nd Cup of Coffee. I often read through her answers but never answer. I think it was the Candy Corn question that drew me in. Why are those little things so darn tasty and cute.
1. Candy corn: Your thoughts? I wonder who ever thought of this idea. Corn it is so good and healthy for you. Let’s turn it into a sugary treat.
2. Briefly, what was the first conversation you ever had with your spouse? (or best friend, if you're not married.) (Or someone significant, like your librarian.) Well, it wasn’t our first conversation as we grew up together, but DH actually asked me out on bet. He and his friends debated who was going to have the guts to ask. DH won or lost depending how you look at it.
3. Could you ever become a vegetarian? Yes – as long as I didn’t have to cook for DH and family.
4. Have you ever dressed up your pet in a costume? NO!
5. Name something about childhood that you miss (like Clark Bars, Teaberry Gum, Malibu Barbie, cracking fake eggs on people's heads with your fist and "It's the Great Pumpkin" airing only once a year).
Christmas at my Grandfather’s. It was so traditional we even had mashed turnip. It was like living in an old movie.

6. Have you ever won a trophy? If not, what do you deserve a trophy for?
I think dance when I was like 6.
7. When do you think is the appropriate time to begin playing Christmas music each year?
December 26th – I love Christmas music. It is appropriate all year round and love when it starts playing on Sounds of the Seasons.
8. What's your favorite board game? Hmmmm – Scrabble, Life, PayDay. That is a hard question. Trivia Pursuit, Monopoly, Made for Trade.
9. How do you feel about surprises (receiving, not giving)? Depends on what the surprise is. Surprise, DH is taking me away for the weekend or we won the lotto – yeah! Surprise party which you will have the joy of cleaning – Booo!
10. Is it easy for you to say, "I'm sorry"? I say, “I’m sorry” way too often – even for things that I have no control over. This is a very bad habit.
11. What is your favorite candle scent? Vanilla
12. October is traditionally "open house" time in public schools. If you had a literal open house in your home (like a reception) what light snacks would you serve visitors and what would you show them (as in art projects, graded papers) that would uniquely represent you?
Girl Scout cookies – since that is a huge part of my life (it would fulfill both categories).
I guess I would put out photo albums, play some music, and have books lying around.

I swore you loved Evergreen as a scent in the car P:
Enjoyed your answers. I can relate to #10.
YAY for girl scout cookies!!! thin mints anyone???
Girl Scout cookies would be fine by me...samoas are my faves...We were big into scouts at my house too.
I am a samoa girl - all the way!!!
Mashed turnips? Hmmmm, I've had turnips in stews and soups but never mashed. Am I missing anything?
I miss GS cookies! Hard to pick a favorite -- they're all so good! -- but the peanut butter ones are the first ones to come to mind :-)
I think mashed turnips are better memories than actual food. Do you like the peanut butter / chocolate - Tagalongs or the peanut butter with oatmeal sandwich - Dos-i-Dos?
