Leftovers 1/5

Dear QotD?ers,
.
So much has happened since we last pondered together: the Jonas Brother's performed at half-time for the Cowboys' game (blerg), the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade got Rick-Rolled by Rick himself, our new car made a 600 mile triangular trip around Texas, everyone ate a lot of food, some people did Christmas shopping (not me). I hope you have a good week of Thanksgiving recovery.
.

Today's Question of the Day? is:

.

How many times have you had Thanksgiving leftovers so far?

.

Once for each Thanksgiving dinner we attended, so two.

Love,
Kristen

Last night I finished watching the first episode of Dancing with the Stars. It was shocking! I don't know that DwtS has ever needed to cut out sound due to celebrity contestant language! And yes, I know someone who knows the cousin of that young dude from HannaH Montana.
.
In other news, we watched Heroes, my reaction : Huh? could it be more confusing?

I made banana bread

Dear QotD?ers,

If you haven't answered for three truths and a lie yet, please do so now.

I had a good girls weekend. I got to see Angela & Annan, Mom and Toottles. Activities included seeing the movie The Women, birthday dinner at TGIFriday's (including singing waitstaff and carmel sundae), rummage sale and lunch in the backyard.

Dear QotD?ers,

I liked yesterday's question so much, I'm going to wait until next week to move to part 2. So if you haven't answered, go do so now.

I didn't sleep well last night and now I'm very tired.

DON'T PANIC

Dear QotD?ers,
.
Hurricane Ike has now made it into the gulf and will be hitting some part of Texas. The coastal towns are under voluntary evacuation which may become mandatory later this morning. This would effect Brenda's parents and Amanda. There has not yet been a decision to shutdown the plant or to send home 'non-essential' persons. We are alert and wary and watching. If we do get an early release for the day (or I have any other exciting news about our situation), I'll post them on my livejournal. http://ksspiff.livejournal.com We have supplies to last us a few days if we ride it out and lose power. We also have an evacuation vacation home thanks to Matthew.

Dear QotD?ers,

Yesterday I finished all that ironing. It took less time to iron the 20 shirts than it did to iron the 5 pairs of pants. I did the pants on Monday evening while watching Monster House. That was a fun movie, though it was creepy and people died!

... And that was Gustav

Dear QotD?ers,
.
Thankfully, Gustav turned out to be a non-issue for us. I don't think there are any QotD?ers that are impacted either. Hanna looks like she's headed for the east coast. HAPPY LABOR DAY!
.
Today's Question of the Day? is:
.
What are you doing for Labor Day?
.
Love,

P.S. I haven't slept well at all this weekend. Sigh!

Act your age, not your...

Dear QotD?ers,
.
No, I don't have today off, but I do have a meeting today off-site. I have been thinking about you though.
.
Amanda, I am jealous that you got to have lunch with Matthew and Jackie. Matthew and Jackie, I'm jealous that you got to have lunch with Amanda. You should all come have lunch with me!
.
Gustav is still on the radar, but he's not as exciting as we thought he would be. It looks like our labor day exended weekend will be unaffected. I will probably purchase some water and non-perishable snacks this afternoon to be held until hurrican season is over. Just in case there are other hurricanes on the way that may actually effect our power supply.

Golden Delicious

Dear QotD?ers,

I think I'm more tired than I let on. I'm not sure why today would be different than yesterday.
I'm wearing pink & blue striped sock with my green shoes. I like having a job where I can get away with things like that.

Today's Question of the Day? is:

Are there currently any plants under your care?

P.S. I want some breakfast pastry!

Shah

Dear QotD?ers,

It's Friday! Tonight were going to the park to watch Evan Almighty on a big-screen outside! That is, if it isn't still raining because of Dolly.

I'd probably watch a documentary first. They usually cover the topic broadly with the most important or most interesting information about a subject. Then I could determine if I was still interested and which details I wanted to know more about. A book would have that, but now I don't have to sift through the entire 1000 pages to find the part I really want to read.

Today's Question of the Day? is:

What kind of shampoo do you use?

Love,

The Asker

Hello Dolly

Dear QotD?ers,

It looks like the first gulf hurricane of the season is going to miss us. Hooray! We should probably work on our hurricane kit, but haven't yet. It rained pretty hard last night, though.

Today's Question of the Day? is:

What is a random fact about one of your favorite things?

.

Please avoid using a person as your favorite 'thing.' Please include what your favorite thing actually is in your answer. 'Fact' can mean scientific, historical, well documented OR a truth about your relationship or experience with your favorite thing.

Did anybody get that it was deoderant?

Dear QotD?ers,

Over the weekend my illness went from my throat to my nose. I'm actually very surprised by how great my throat feels compared to Friday. My voice is still gravely, though. No fever today, so I came to work with some medicine and some oatmeal*.

Jelly Belly jelly beans are amazing.

Today's Question of the Day? is:

What was the last movie you watched (either in the theatre or at home)?

Love,

The Asker

P.S. *Apples & Cinnamon!

Princess by Vera Wang

Dear QotD?ers,

Last night I made ps'mores (psuedo s'mores). They are incredibly messy, but mostly delicious.
1) melt chocolate chips
2) dip one side of a graham craker square in melted chocolate
3) make a bunch of those and put them in the freezer for the chocolate to set
4) take them out and smear marshmallow fluff on the chocolate side
5) take an unsmeared square and sandwhich the fluff
CAUTION: chocolate and marshmallow fluff will ooze
CAUTION: chocolate is likely to get underneath fingernails making it look like you have a hygene problem, but you don't, you just have delicious fingernails

Today's Question of the Day? is:

Did you have a childhood blanket or stuffed animal that you loved so much? Do you still have it?

Love,

The Asker

P.S. I am ready for the second invasion of Indian music into American mainstream.

An apple day... is what I usually eat for breakfast

Dear QotD?ers,

I'm glad that some of you got to catch up this weekend with your answers. I've really enjoyed reading them and I appreciate the thought that you've put into them.

My country would be a re-independenced Texas. I definately think that there's enough state pride that we could pull it off. I'd keep most of the state's deisgnations as the 'nations' (mockingbird, bluebonnet, chili) but I'd add "State Pest: fire ants."

Today's Question of the Day? is:

What time do you regularly wake up?

For those of you in the education field, please provide summertime and schooltime answers.

Love,

The Asker

P.S. I made psuedo s'mores yesterday and they were SUPER MESSY.

Tuesday

Dear QotD?ers

Thank you to those of you who responded yesterday. It was fun to hear from you and I hope we can both keep it up. We already have a new QotD?er already, Groovy Sabrina. Welcome!

I'm really tired this morning. I can't think of a reason why today would be more tired than yesterday, but I'll make myself some hot chocolate, have a bagel and make my way through the day.

Using googlemaps or mapquest, How many miles are you from your birthplace?

P.S. Tamijean, I'll make some updates to the FAQ with your comments.

Daryl/Cuñao, I accept your idea of an expanded 'meet the QotD?ers' and am progressing towards a format acceptable to me

Monday

Dear QotD?ers,

First unofficial QotD? I'm excited and I hope you are too. I'm going to try to post daily between 7:15 and 7:27am. I'm at work by this time (when I ride the vanpool) and official work doesn't start until 7:30. For weekdays when I don't go to work, we'll see if I can keep it up. Perhaps QotD? will be a good motivation to wake up before 9 o'clock on my Fridays off. (I have a flexible work schedule "9/80," so I get every other Friday off).

If you haven't already, take a gander at the FAQs and QotD?er picture that are linked just under the header up there and comment on those (especially if you think the FAQs need some more detail).

I'll keep the first one easy.

Today's Question of the Day? is:

What kind of socks are you wearing?

Love,

The Asker
