Hump Day Poll: Your Childhood Go To's

Candy Edition! I was thinking about my Mom's 50th birthday party.  It was a wonderful memory because I worked really hard on it and planned it for 9 months to make it great for her.  Because she didn't have a 25th wedding anniversary, I knew I was going to go all out for her 50th.  I had family, friends, people from high school, co-workers (ones I knew she liked! 😁) and I loved seeing her face when she would see people she hadn't seen in a long time.  One of the biggest hits that people talked about for years after were the retro candy baskets on every table.  I bought ones that I knew were her favorites as well as looking at what were popular at the time.   People lost their minds and were squealing like kids when they saw their favorites. I got all of the candy through Candy Favorites website and it's always so fun to look through. I was perusing the site, I was thinking of what stuff I'd want in the baskets on my table for a party like Mom's: Cher...

We're doing a little tomfoolery today mixed in with some work later.  Since this is the first weekend we can both taste I'm sure a good meal out tomorrow is in order.  I WILL start wrapping Christmas gifts, dammit!  I can't keep putting it off.  The tree goes up soon and I like to put presents under it when it goes up.

Anything on the schedule (UK pronunciation -"shedj-yule" which sounds way classier) this weekend?

  1. Nothing formal on my shedj-yule but I think you have plans for us. I was going to test drive at least one vehicle on my list if time warrants, but we'll see.

  2. I'm making pork chops tonight (have no desire for them but don't want to have to freeze the meat) and need to get a list done for grocery shopping tomorrow morning while the hubs is at work. Then it's laundry and Christmas shopping and that's all I have planned. If I managed to clean something other than clothes and dishes, that'll be a bonus, but I'm not allowing it to be my focus this weekend. It's going to be cold and icky out, so I'll be bah-hum-buggin' it. That's a verb, right? LOL
