Kiffie, i'm pretty laid back too. I used to be over hyper ( I have a.d.h.d. and can be overactive)
my friends know I have to get stuff done weeks head of time. used to be, i'd start Christmas shopping in January and be wrapped by june. now I just have to be done by Nov. 15. then the leftover money goes to extras. like yucky stuff, you know, socks, underwear, or for good stuff, a new coat for my son, (fur ined of course, that was last year), or extras for dh or friends, my donations are taken care of during the year, and dropped off as soon as they will take them. i'll send my cousins stuff out mon. they live a state away. and one in Georgia.then when the bills come in, I can pay them off right away. I chg to get the points. Walmart used to take the points so i'd take a card for them to get fabric. not anymore. I just can't sit still, gotta keep on moving, do something, time is to precious to waste.

Love love love pierogies. Used to get them at a little local bar back in the 60s that had a fish fry every Friday, and you could get pierogies instead of french fried. The women made them from scratch, nothing compares to them, but there is a frozen brand in the grocery stores that isn't bad.

for those of you thst don't know, a perogi is a Slavic (polish, in this case) ravioli type of pasta filled with potatoe and cheese. you boil them then fry in butter. serve with sour cream, yummmmmmm.like a baked pot. on steroids. i'm allergic to onions, but a lot of people put browned onions on them too.
mdall, can you take and post pics for me, thanks.

I have been working on some ornies today. My first idea didn't quite work out too well, so went another direction. Got on here to check in and I had 20 pages of catching up to do-now I'm cross eyed! Mine will be going out on Monday, so for those who have not received yet don't fret, deadline isn't till Tues. the 5th.
We have all kinds of ornaments on our tree, from many years and made by many hands so whoever is sending to me any color is fine. And I see that mdall's have already been received but for future reference I would be thrilled if a kid wanted to make me an ornament-it would be right at home on our tree as so many that my kids made when they were growing up are on our tree. All the pics I have seen are so cute, and pretty. I will try to remember to take a pic to post here before I mail mine out.

Still waiting to get my second package and also waiting to here from my other partner that I sent to. I hope she likes them. Yesterday while in town I was walking through the store and found some of those clear ball ornaments. These were huge and the ones I was looking for when this swap came up and of course since its over. I am thinking of picking some up and getting next years done along with some for my kids to work on during their Thanksgiving break.

Lynnie,
I hear ya, I don't sit well, either..that's why I said I was the laid back one and then added most people who know me would find my saying that hilarious! Years ago when dh and I had sold our house in town, we lived with my parents for a few weeks waiting for our house where we live now to be completed, and have the new well and septic systems put in. At that time, it had been about 16 years since I had last lived at home. Well, I couldn't just sit around..like watching tv, or whatever. Ended up my mother telling me I was driving HER crazy because I was constantly needing to do something..LOL.
What I should've said was I don't get all ocd about others, but I do about myself..always have been this way. Your talking about bills, etc. reminded me of my Nanny' s (grandma) saying. She would say she and Papa worked for their mad money, they got mad and paid the bills with it! She was so great, I sure miss her!
