Ten on Tuesday...

So...as you can see I've already miss the NaBloPoMo deadlines! All I can say to that is, try my schedule out for a week and see how much time there is to post...let alone make dinner, do laundry, clean up, sleep, and breathe =)

However, I'll still be randomly posting! So here is my Ten on Tuesday post, stolen from Erins blog =)

1. Who makes your Thanksgiving dinner?
Well, now that I am older, a lot of people. My grandmother, mother-in-law, and all the relatives that chip in on favorite dishes at family gatherings

2. What is your favorite recipe the includes pumpkin? (bonus points for including the recipe)
Pumpkin pie. Let's keep it real. Let's keep it traditional.

3. What are 5 things you want for Christmas?
Glee the complete 1st season, monogrammed necklace, steam mop, a Kindle (I go back and forth on this), and clothes

4. Does your family draw names or do you buy for everyone?
Our immediate family buys for everyone and our extended family draws names.

5. How do you feel about motorcycles?
Hah. Two wrecks, one day. Enough said.

6. What’s your favorite thing to do on a rainy Saturday?
Sleep or watch movies

7. What is the coolest thing to do in your city?
There are a ton of cool things in my city but I consider ATL my city too. So, in MY city I would say going to the dog park is pretty neat and I can't wait to take kids there (if we're still in the area) and in ATL I love all the museums that there are to visit (aquarium, World of Coke, Fernbank, High, etc)

8. Do you paint your fingernails?
Not very often, it grosses me out when they chip

9. Who is your favorite actor over the age of 50?
I have a lot...but I really love Denzel Washington

10. Do you have a high school letter jacket?
No, but I did letter in academics and chorus...not a nerd at all lol

Better late than never! Last weekend we went on a camping trip in the North GA mountains with our small group (minus one couple). It. Was. FREEZING!!! However, it was also incredibly fun! The girls did a fab job setting up the tents while the men hauled in all the stuff and made the fire. I don't think I've ever been as cold as i was Friday night, but we all survived and woke up to a delicious breakfast made by Jeff. To warm up, the girls took a short walk (let's be real...none of us are the "outdoorsy" type...so it was a very short walk haha). After hanging around the campsite a bit, playing frisbee, chatting, napping, and twiddling our thumbs, we all decided to take a nice long hike...STRAIGHT UP A MOUNTAIN...WITHOUT A TRAIL! Buuuut we made it, and a little huffin and puffin never killed anyone (though at times, I thought it might kill me)! We had a FANTASTIC chili supper that came back to haunt us all (haha)and sat around the campfire playing hilarious games and which got interrupted by the sound of a woman screaming around midnight. On Halloween. Don't worry, after we all cleaned our pants, John let us know that it was just a bird!! We all slept great Saturday then woke up, packed up, and headed out! It was wonderful weekend and we are looking forward to it again...when it is warmer =)

I used to have one about being chased down a frozen food aisle in a grocery store by a man with a machete...and people wonder where my anxiety comes from.
