Show us a winter photograph.
This is my husband who was buried in the snow by our 9 year old son. Looks like fun, eh? Not to me. As I mentioned in a previous post.. I hate Winter. Burrrrrrrr.. Too cold.
]]>Were your holiday cards store bought, handmade, online, TBD or MIA?
Store bought. In fact, I didn't even buy them. My mother gave me a box of extra cards because I told her I was going to send Christmas cards this year and she decided to give me what she had. Isn't she the sweetest?
]]>I totally almost forgot about this blog. Geez, what kind of person am I? I update my main blog on a daily basis and I was doing good here for a bit, but then I guess it somehow slipped my mind.
I'm so sorry, Vox. I'll try to be a better Vox blogger from now on.
]]>What's your favorite thing to drink when it's cold outside?
Coffee! Lots and lots of coffee. Unless it's a drinking night - then B&B warms me like an electric blanket.
]]>What were your top 10 favorite songs or albums of 2007?

]]>I already posted this on my site, but I have to post it here too. I got such a chuckle out of it. I hope someone else does too.
Show us your favorite winter activity.
I hate Winter. I despise being cold. So, my favorite Winter activity would be kicking back in my pajamas playing video games with a warm blanket wrapped around me. Yep, that's it. Oh, and a nice hot cup of coffee would be sitting on the table next to me.
]]>It's so busy here at work this morning. Shouldn't people be at work or out Christmas shopping or something? Why does everyone feel the need to call their insurance agent as soon as they hop out of bed in the morning? Crazy. Half the people that call today are trying to get their automatic deduction stopped for the month - probably because they are scrounging for Christmas money and decided that skipping their insurance payment is the best way to find it. The funny thing is that most of the people attempting to get it stopped have a deduction day of today or tomorrow. Sorry, folks.. too late to stop it now.

]]>Which are your favorite sites for shopping online?
eBay, Alloy, Amazon and Hollister Co.
Those are the places I've shopped most frequently online. I've also shopped at PacSun online, but I'm not thrilled with their shipping.
