Category: ALOHA FRIDAY

In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day they take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would participate and take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.

I ran this post a week or so ago, but should have saved it for an Aloha Friday questions since you ladies are so insightful. So, I’m re-running it to get your opinions.

I was having a wonderful chat with my friend Barbara the other night, something we hadn’t done in many, many months. We enjoyed it a lot and then my phone battery died after 3 hours and we resorted to IMs again. During our call I was in my studio which left hubby to his own devices which tonight resulted in a lot of channel surfing. He ended up watching America’s Funniest Home Videos where he learned a new trick. LOL his new trick leads up to the Payback is a Bitch and how I need your help.

While I was having a grand old time chatting and catching up, hubby was taping down the lever on the kitchen sink sprayer. He knew I’d need some water after talking for so long so he left the Brita empty so I’d have to fill it. I turned on the cold water and was immediately drenched by cold water. He also conveniently disappeared!

So here’s my question: how would you arrange payback for your hubby? It needs to be funny, when he least expects it and really, really good!

Lucy over at LULU PETALS wrote a piece earlier this week about TV and the influence it has on our lives. I think about what the kids are seeing and hearing on TV today and realize childhood as we knew it no longer exists. They have become miniature ‘adults’ with what they see and experience and I believe this creates a lot of the animosity that exists in families today. When I was a kid certain types of shows came on after I was in bed. We didn’t have 400 cable channels or TIVO or DVR’s where you could watch the reruns at any time of day. In fact I had to ask permission to turn on the TV! The sex, violence and controversial topics were shielded from kids. Our parents had actual control to protect our childhoods.

I haven’t been able to eat grape jelly since I was a kid. It was the ONLY flavor I was allowed and I really outgrew it!! I can’t handle mixed fruit either. It never really tasted like anything, but a mass of jiggly stuff. I choose strawberry or blackberry usually. It seems like in the recent past EVERY restaurant I go to serves only grape or mixed fruit.

We’ve had a houseful for the holidays and a bit of cabin fever with the weather. There have been a few heated discussions and one in particular left me with

Today’s question: ARE YOU A LIST MAKER? DO YOU MAKE A GROCERY LIST? DO YOU ACTUALLY CROSS THINGS OFF AS YOU ACCOMPLISH THEM?

Do you push your basket or walk down a store aisle as if you were driving a car? For example, do you stay towards the right or are you all over the place cutting people off?

Today’s question is:
What is your favorite Christmas, cookie or candy?

In early October I decorate for Fall and Halloween and then the Halloween things come down and the Thanksgiving things go up.

On the Friday after Thanksgiving, the Thanksgiving things come down and I do a thorough cleaning and I start decorating for Christmas. When I was a kid, that was the day my day always insisted on the tree going up and we spent a good deal of the day wrapping presents while listening to Christmas carols.

I prefer not to do shopping on that weekend and stay home for leftover turkey sandwiches while getting into the Christmas spirit. This year in particular with Thanksgiving being so late!
