What’s your idea of the perfect proposal?
Brought to you by Leap Year. In theaters January 8th.

In my opinion a proposal only needs one thing to make it perfect -- sincerity.

From the turkey and stuffing to all of the fixin's... Who's cooking your Thanksgiving dinner this year? What dish are you most looking forward to?

This year's Thanksgiving, as usual, will be at my sister Myrna's house.  Today she and my other sister are getting the meal ready.  I have spent my typical Thanksgiving Eve baking the pies.  This year we have mince meat with an orange ginger crust,

and this year's wild card pie is apple cinnamon with a cardamom crust.

The only jobs left for me to do are to get these pies over to my sister's tomorrow and then eat myself silly.

Black Friday is known for its deals and steals. What items are you hoping to find in the stores this Friday?
Sponsored by Best Buy. Find holiday gifts for everyone on your list.

Absolutely none.  I stay as far away from the stores as possible on that day.  In fact, I have quilt camp at my house most every year, this year included, on Friday and Saturday.  My big holiday shopping day is the Monday after Thanksgiving.  The stores are empty of shoppers, the merchandise selection is still excellent, and the store clerks are still energetic and polite (or as polite as they are going to be).  Most years I'm done with my shopping by lunch time!

What was your favorite class in high school? (And no, lunch doesn't count.) 

Geometry.  DUH!!  8:-)

If you could only drink one beverage for the rest of your life (not including water), which one would you choose?

Wine.  I like wine.  But I'd sure miss beer and Diet Coke an awful lot.

If you could be any age again for one week, what age would you be?

As far as me in general is concerned I'm rather fond of the age I am now.  Can't see any point in reliving any past age.  Life just keeps getting better as times goes on.  But if I could simply regain an earlier stage of my body with everything else remaining in the present, well, I'd like to have my 25 year old body for a bit.  Dang, I miss it!

Today is "Evaluate Your Life Day." So, tell us: how do you think you're life's going so far?

Swimmingly.  Though winning the lottery would be a nice touch.

What's your favorite thing about fall? 

Autumn

One favorite thing?  I love the cooler weather, the longer nights, the changing leaves, the smell of the air.  Fall makes me want to spend lots of time in the kitchen cooking and baking.  It also gets my creative juices flowing which means I get lots more work done.  What's not to like about fall?

What household chore do you hate the most?

I have to choose?  I hate them all.  That's why my house is such a pit.

What's your favorite?

See the above answer.

Would you prefer fame or respect? Why?

That's a no brainer.  Of course I'd rather have respect.  Fame (and life in general) is worth nothing without it.
