Your mention of a slinky reminded me of the year that I got a slinky for Christmas (metal in those days). It took me just minutes to get it hopelessly tangled up and hours for Dad to untangle it. Dads are great!
Susan- I have the SAME memory! And yes, Dads are great.
I guess I will have to do this meme, too. Don't want to be a Grinch.
I like reading memes like this. It gives me an idea of what the person behind the blog is like.
Hot chocolate and candy canes? Lynne, I knew I liked you for a reason.
I did this after a friend sent it to me. I have an OOOOOOOLD LiveJournal account that I use for memes that seem like fun but don't really fit my site! :) Here it is {click}
I'll do this meme. And I remember having a Slinky - you can still buy them but I think they're plastic. Try hot chocolate with a shot of peppermint schnapps and a shot of kahlua (spelling?). Then add candy cane... :)
This was fun Lynne - thanks. Love reading everyone's answers - and yours are so funny!
