I'm still in radiation jail, my Plastic Palace, whatever you want to call it.  I will do a post on that later this week, so I won't bore you with details now.  About the only exciting thing I have going on is looking forward to Wednesday when I can finally leave the room and do my radioactive laundry.



It is time again for Friend Makin' Monday.  If you have a blog, I would like to invite you to answer the questions as well.  Leave me a comment here, so I know you are playing.  Then you can also leave a comment over at Losing Weight and Having Fun, so other folks can check out your answers as well.  It is a fun way to connect to other bloggers.

1. Do you celebrate St Patrick’s Day?
I used to, but it has been a few years.  In 2009, my older brother died (on the 16th) and it just hasn't been the same since then.  I was looking forward to decorating the house and cooking an Irish dinner this year, but here I am all radioactive and stuff....

2. Which is your favorite holiday to celebrate?
I enjoy Halloween for all the fun and dressing up.  I enjoy Christmas again because my husband's birthday is Christmas day. And I also look forward to Valentine's so I can make a gift for my husband and eat some tasty food.

3. Do you have a favorite ‘holiday’ food?
Pecan Pie, ham, mashed potatoes and gravy, green bean casserole, etc. etc.  I love all the tasty comfort foods.

4. What do you think of holiday parades?
They can be fun.  I don't usually watch them on television anymore because I don't like all the commentary and lip syncing.  Plus, who the heck are the people??  I don't watch the Disney channel, so I don't know half the "celebrities" involved. I do like to go to the annual Gay Pride parade though.

5. Have you ever been part of a parade?
Yes.  I might have been in some when I was a Girl Scout as a child.  Then, when I worked at an old folks' home in our last town, I road on the facility bus with some of the residents and waved and threw candy to the crowd.

6. Do you decorate your house for the holidays?
We just bought a house this past July, but I was sick and awaiting surgery over the holidays and we didn't decorate outside.  I did manage to decorate well inside right after Thanksgiving though, so we would have a festive holiday while I was recovering from surgery.  I enjoy decorating for the holidays.  I just hate taking it all down.  I guess I find it harder to keep up with all the spring holidays.

7. Do you send holiday cards?
I do.  My husband and I love to do fun, silly Christmas card photos.  I don't typically send cards for other holidays, though I do get cards for my husband on occasion.  Also, I try to send my sister a Halloween card because it is just something I do.


8. Are there any holidays that you celebrate that are traditional in another country, but maybe less well known in the US?
It isn't a holiday, but my husband and I started including Krampus in more of our Christmas festivities because the idea of him cracks us up.
