Oatmeal Scotchies. They were my dads favorite, I always think of him when I see or make these. I also like haystacks.

Panera Bread copycat recipe for Turkey Chili. It's so good and loaded with yummy veggies. Do you have the recipe? I tried it at Panera for the first time a few weeks ago and loved it! I tried to duplicate it at home, but I'm not sure I included everything. We are having some sort of meat, I took some frozen leftovers out of the freezer, not sure it its turkey or pork loin We're also having roasted brussel sprouts and Stovetop stuffing, cuz I'm fancy like that.

It's not allowed in my state, only licensed drivers over the age of 18 can be in a car driven by someone with just a learners permit.

Sorry to hear Kathy had a setback, I hope she's on the road to recovery and back with us soon.
It's just me and the girl tonight. Both my boys are headed in different directions to see Star Wars with friends and DH is working. We are going to have some girl time and go out to dinner, I'm thinking Olive Garden. Then, we are going to brave the stores and do a little shopping. Give me strength, lol.

I've never gone crazy at the holidays. It's always just been the 5 of us since we're the ones who live far from family. I don't feel,pressure to get things done, I just take it as it comes. Some years I do a lot, some not so much. Sometimes hearing about the chaos of a extended family Christmas makes me a little wistful for it, but then I realize I can stay in my pajamas all day in my messy house if I want to

It's supposed to be near 50F and rainy. Very unusual for this area, it's usually much colder and we usually have snow.
Not only can I not imagine 111F on Christmas, I really can't imagine it at all. I live in Indiana and temps never get that high. Is that typical for Australia this time of year, it's the beginning of summer, right?

I love cheese, but only real cheese, not a fan of any type of fake American cheese. I have high cholesterol, though, so I've really cut back. I pretty much only eat Parmesan now.

The kids always get new pjs from the elves that they open on Christmas Eve. We also do our family (just the 5 of us) secret Santa. We open all other gifts Christmas Day.

We've been spoiled the last week and a half with really warm weather, but it it's cold out again, we even got snow flurries. So, I decide I needed to make some good comfort food, chicken pot pie. Yum!

My youngest was a toddler when he saw his first Star Wars movie. My kids are teens now, but I would have no qualms about taking young kids.

My daughter started in 5th grade mainly because she was in dance class and it was really noticeable even though blonde. She uses the Venus Spa, it's like the Intuition-doesn't need shaving cream. I have to remind her to change the blades, she forget, luckily she hasn't had any nicks or cuts.

It's happened at 2 different school districts near me. One was at a high school yesterday, classes were not cancelled. Today, I just read that another district has canceled classes at all schools due to a threat. I really cannot believe that this is our new reality. I really need to start thinking about what I'll do if it happens at our district ETA-Just heard on the news that two districts are now closed, the threats came from the same social media account. WTH!

I was in high school when the original Star Wars came out, obviously it was hugely popular. One of our Homecomings was Star Wars themed even. I never saw any of the 3 movies, just wasnt interested. Now, that I I have kids, though, and they have a huge interest in all things SW, I've become a fan. We have zillions of SW Lego, toys, books, etc. I've watched all,the movies with them and I'm looking forward to seeing the new one in the theater. My kids were in a little bit of disbelief that I didn't see the originals back when they first came out

I think I may have dozed off, though, lol. Who did Jordan do a celebrity duet with? Jordan's duet was with Usher. Thanks for the info! I'm going to have to look that up, I love Usher.

I thought Jordan definitely should have won, his voice is just amazing. I would be more likely to want to buy Jefferys music, though. He should have come in second. I really didn't get the appeal of Barrett, he really didn't compare to the other 3.

I just double my usual tip. My hairdresser is much younger than me, I'd have no idea what to get her. My previous hairdresser before I moved also became a good friend and in addition a larger tip, I'd give her a bottle of wine. A lot of our discussions were about wine, so I knew what she liked.

We always put a star on ours, but last year we moved and I couldn't find it so I bought an angel. Even though we eventually found the star, I liked the angel so much, I decided to stick with her.

My youngest swallowed a dime when he was 2 or 3. My oldest drank wall paint and eyeglass cleaner- called poison control on both of these, he was fine.
The best story involves my niece, though. I bought her an "I'm 3" necklace. One day my she came up to my sister and said she ate it. My sister didn't believe her, but niece kept insisting. So they took her to the doctor for an X-ray and, sure enough, there it was. You could see the whole thing. Sister had to go through her bowel movements for several days and it did pass with no problems. Never bought her jewelry again.

My mom made these every year, but she just called them Pecan Balls. I really like some of the other names posted I think I might make some this year to take with me when we visit back home, but I'm going to call them Russian Tea Cakes or Mexican Wedding Cookies

I have 2 pairs of Uggs 1 pair wedge booties 2 pairs knee length leather boots 1 pair suede snow boots 1 pair hiking boots I live in central Indiana so we get our fair share of snow/ice/cold weather. I try to limit myself to 1 new pair a year. I already bought new black Uggs last month, but I'm thinking I really need a new pair of black knee high boots with a low heel

It wasn't something I paid attention to when I was a child and my kids don't either. I do spend the same amount on each, though. My kids are pretty good about understanding that if they ask for a high dollar amount toy, they will get less in total number of gifts.
