This means that i am not going to bother putting up a photo.
I will only say this about the Menu of the Day:
I am listening to Dustin Kensrue Christmas songs on the iPod.
I am cooking pasta with jojo's famous spaghetti sauce.
I am procrastinating about Christmas.
I am looking forward to time off during Christmas.
The best thing i have done this week ... i am going TOTALLY green this year on Christmas....at least with Christmas lights. It's about a $275 initial investment for lights, but i have purchased all LED lights for inside and outside this year. I'll let you know how it goes later. With photos, of course.
********************************
Here is my idea for this blog.
i would like to focus again on the nature of this blog being a community blog. Because
this blog got started ONLY because of the Gumbo YaYa-ness from the days when i would post on that board while drinking wine about whatever happened to enter my head and i encouraged others to do the same. And they did. And some of them encouraged this blog which i resisted for awhile until a year ago.
So with this blog i ask that you come here, one and all, even you lurkers....and post what is in your head....

Hey Donna!!!!
I really like your #s 7, 8 and 10. I am sick of entitlement. Teenagers who think they need to have everything without working for it. Poor people who want the handout and don't expect to ever try to make things different, and drivers who know well in advance their lane is ending but they take it all the way to the end and expect to get that cut in front of those of us who merged over like good courteous drivers do.
