GR&DF you were so sweet with your very kind comments about our "getups" for the party. As you can plainly see I am not one for the over the top outfit - Usually I am just a plain Jane wall flower when it comes to dressing up. I am a very casual person - jeans (be they blue or black) a clean pressed shirt, and a pair of Converse and I am good to go - and I mean for just about every occasion. If I get into a pair of chinos it is probably a white tie affair!! For the shoes - since I broke my foot in the south of France a few years ago, I can only wear comfortably Converse shoes - all my nice shoes gather dust due to how when I have on a pair the right foot is just this side of torture tight! Enough of that.....
I really haven't that much to say today - except that - can you believe that only a short 51 days and it will be Christmas!! Once again it is racing up with alarming speed. We where in Walgreen's yesterday and the seasonal aisle was jammed packed with treats - so of course how could I resist picking up this bag of cheer.....
Delicious minty M&M's. Now I am not a fan of the M&M, except the peanut butter ones. I prefer Reeses Pieces, but these suckers are minty chocolate and that sold me instantly! I love mint - peppermint is a favorite!! My favorite minty things would have to be in cocktail form and the top two cocktails are - a Stinger and Grass Hopper - mmmmm good and slurpity slurp!!!
Last night I was working on a Christmas Ornament and watching a Christmas movie - "Scrooge" - 1951 - a top notch version starring Alistair Sim. If you are longtime reader of my babel you may recall that a favorite story of mine is "A Christmas Carol." In addition to the written word I also enjoy the movie versions of the story. There are plenty variations of this story from just plain awful to very superior versions out there and I love them all. I probably have 12 different DVD versions in my DVD heap. I usually have a Scroogefest during the Holidays and I think there was a small Scroogfest last Sunday when I watched two different version so ACC (A Christmas Carol) - the 1935 and 1938 versions where screened - neither of these versions are all that but they do have their moments. I am sure that I will see them again before Christmas and I will have a major Scroogefest 2010 at some point!! I know that Rico just dreads this but tough toenails!!!
There you go sports fans!!
Thank you again for stopping by and leaving those sweet comments!! Do come again!
Take care,
edgar
