Topic: RE: ~*~*~ THURSDAY ROLL CALL ~*~*~
I am going to take the time out to answer today so no one thinks I fell off of the face of the earth. I did a mini update on the post asking about Ben and I if anyone is interested.
1) Do you have any nieces or nephews?
2 of my siblings have kids and 2 don't. I have 3 nieces and 1 nephew. My nephew is only 11 years younger than me. I also have lots of step-nieces and nephews from my fathers 2nd and 3rd marriages. I even have a step-grand niece who is just a doll. I got to see her for the first time over Thanksgiving weekend.
2) Are you an only child? If not, where are you in the birth order? If so, do you ever wish you had any siblings?
I am the youngest of 5. 2 older brothers and 2 older sisters. My one sister is only 14mo older than me so I never go that special baby treatment darn it.
3) What is the weather like where you are today?
Sunny but chilly. At least chilly for SoCal. heehee
4) What do you miss most this time of year?
I miss my paternal grandparents old fashioned Christmas decorations. My Grandpa had really cool frosted lights that looked like snowballs. He really enjoyed doing up the livingroom and made it special. He has been gone almost 22 years now. I also miss the homemade candy one of my co-workers used to bring in. A relative of hers made it and it was YUMMY!!!!!!! She passed away a few years ago. The relative not my co-worker.
5) Are you a glass is half full or half empty kind of person?
I am both depending on the situation. I can be very cynical at times. Mostly in being protective of my family.

Ok, I have a very good reason that I did not do Roll Call yeasterday, I was busy with my brand spankin' new niece. She is so gorgeous. I know that I am biased, but she is just an angel
. She mom told me that if I was with her throughout the night last night I would have a different opinion, but, they are all just precious angels. Actually most of this week has been on what I refer to as "Baby Watch". I am glad to get back to my normal routine again, but I miss all the excitement.
I have to be honest with all of you, I really don't have questions for this week. I feel kind of like I have let you down. Can you forgive me? Let me see if I can pull together a little something something for us.

ME:
1) Well, with the addition of Abigail Jeanne (yes, partially named after me), I have 3 nieces and 5 nephews. There is always room for more though (that is what my family keeps telling me).
2) I am not an only child, actually, I am the oldest of 4. I do have a half brother that is older than I am, but we never grew up together, to me, he is more like a distant cousin that I see a couple times a year. I wish we could change that. Anyway, I have a 2 brothers and a sister younger than me.
3) FREAKIN' COLD!!!!! I think the high today was maybe 10
. I can barely stay out there with the dogs, and they barely want to go out there, especially the Chihuahua.
4) I miss the old time tradition. I miss being at my grandma's house on Christmas. It was the most special. I remember just sitting under the tree and being the most content ever. I wish that I could recreate that.
5) Half full of course!!!!!
Ok, so what are your answers. You know I want to hear from you, and yes that means you too Mr. and Ms. Lurker
Come one and come all!!!!!
Have a great rest of the week,
Jeanna

Topic: RE: What's on the menu? Tuesday
A perogy is a ukranian dumpling that is boiled. I usually get the kind that contain potato and cheddar--definitely a carb food, but easy on the stomach.
