I am still feeling a Christmas glow, a day later. And unlike previous years, I don't have the day after "Is that it?" feeling. I think it is because I have the day off and my house is neat as a pin, still, and it really looks beautiful in here with the decorations and the bright sun shining in. I just downloaded some Ian Dury songs, so have "Reasons To Be Cheerful (Part 3)" playing and it puts me back in time, as if it were the day after Christmas 1981.
Also, aside from no new book (I never ever seem to get books as presents anymore), I got everything I could have hoped for this Christmas. Really.
So..since I have not done this in a few weeks, here's Janet's famous Friday Fill-in~~The Boxing Day Edition:

1. I must _____ get to Scotland before I die.
2. You can't stop _____ hope.
3. I wish I never had to buy _____ scissors again. They mysteriously disappear in this house. At one time, we had four pairs, and yet only the dullest one remains. How does this happen? We must have a scissor happy house elf.
4. Being diagnosed with A.D.D. in adulthood_____ has helped me change my life.
5. I know the ________"Oscar Meyer Bologna" song by heart. (also, I can sing the Armour Hot dogs commercial jingle all the the way through, too. What this says about me, I don't think I really want to know.)
6. If I weren't so afraid, I would _____ like to put on a one woman show of my art/illustrations in a gallery (maybe this should have been my answer for no.1?)
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to _____ getting started on reading "The Rottweiler" by Ruth Rendell, tomorrow my plans include_____ working half a day and then going to see a movie(Doubt?) with the husband, and Sunday, I want to _____um, I really have no idea! I can't think that far ahead at this point, but it is great not having any plans for once.

I hope you do get the courage to do an art show. If I were closer I would come for sure and buy a piece! I love your art!!
Books are the best gifts and hope the most important thing in life.
I am happy you had a wonderful Christmas.;))
Teabird,
Yes, I noticed a similarity in your no.6 and my no. 6.
Manders,
If I ever meet you, I will HAVE to hear you sing/rap the "Fresh Prince" song..ha..ha!!
Protege,
I used to love curling up on the couch with at least a few new books on Christmas day, but I never receive any now. But, I had a small stack of new books to be read, so at least I had something to read on Christmas.
hahahaha I love the Oscar Meyer weiner song :-) as well as Reasons To Be Cheerful!
And I'll be going to Scotland next June for 10 days...can't WAIT!!!
Thanks for playing :-)
Janet!!
You are going to Scotland!!?? Lucky you(but then, I am sure you have saved and planned for this trip, and certainly deserve it)
