Random Dozen

Welcome to Week 8 of the Random Dozen meme hosted by Linda at 2nd cup of Coffee. If you want to play along just answer the questions on your own blog and link your answers here for all the world to see. Well, all the blog world anyway. Well everyone who reads Linda's blog at least. Anyway...here are mine-

1.Candy corn: Your thoughts?  I like candy corn..

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.) Gee, 33 years ago?  Probably something stupid because i was sooo nervous to be even chatting with him lol

3. Could you ever become a vegetarian?  no

4. Have you ever dressed up your pet in a costume?  Of course, Halo has an awesome pumpkin Halloween costume, and our first Dalmatian Daisy had a couple cute visors..

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).  Silly putty

6. Have you ever won a trophy? If not, what do you deserve a trophy for?  Yes for bowling.  LOL.

7. When do you think is the appropriate time to begin playing Christmas music each year? When I am in the mood and the house is decorated.

8. What's your favorite board game? Monopoly

9. How do you feel about surprises (receiving, not giving)?  I am not a fan of surprises….even if someone is going to stop over, it’s nice to get a call so I can pick up the house a little, but then I don’t get a lot of surprises so what do I know?

10. Is it easy for you to say, "I'm sorry?"  yes

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?  Gee, well I would serve probably a light snack, a pumpkin cake or cookies, coffee, water or sodas..we would stroll around the house and look at family pictures, the clocks we have collected, those sorts of things..Kind of boring, I guess:)
