Five Question Friday!

Happy New Years Eve!!!

1. How long does your Christmas tree stay up?

Always til after the first of the new year, then it all depends on when we have time to get it taken down. 

2. Do you have plans for New Year's Eve?

Sure do, working! We have to sign up for at least 2 holiday shifts and mine are almost always the overnight into Thanksgiving and New Years Eve, plus its my weekend to work anyway so why mess with it! Plus DH has to work as well so not like I'm missing out on us going 'out'. :)

3. Do you have any New Year's resolutions?

Yes the same ones I have every year in hopes that some year will be the year they actually happen ;) Loose weight, organization, clean out the junk and spend more time with the family. 

4. How did you spend New Year's Eve when you were younger?

I remember always watching the ball drop on TV. 

5. What was the best way you've ever spent New Year's Eve?

Cuddled up with DH, that is always nice! We've gone out in the past to bars but they are always so overcrowded and just too noisy. Geez I think I must be getting old!!! :p Plus we live in South Dakota, its always COLD on New Years here! So cuddled up nice and warm is a good thing! lol

Five Question Friday

Sorry I haven't been around much as of late, been busy and just in an off kind of mood. I'm working on making some changes in my life and one of them is to keep with my blogging, esp. since I rarely even journal anymore, something I used to do faithfully. Honestly I don't think I have since my father passed in July 09, many things have not been the same since then, even our Holidays this year are nothing like they normally would be, at least not decoration wise, none of us seemed 'in the mood' to do much so we did some for Quinn and left it at that. I hope 2011 brings us all a much happier year. 

Ok onto 5 Question Friday....

Rules for 5QF: Copy and paste the following questions to your blog post, answer them, then watch for the linky to appear Friday morning!

Questions for Friday, December 17th:

1. Do you regift...and if so, do you have a regifting horror story?

I don't think I have actually, I have a couple things now that I might end up re-gifting next year! lol 

2. Do you know what you are getting for Christmas this year?

Yes a couple of things I do know, but a few that I don't. Hubby isn't the best at finding things to get for me so I usually have to point them out or go get it myself! lol 

3. Who brings the most gifts in your family, you or Santa?

I do, Santa brings a few, usually one big and a few smaller things and stocking stuffers. There is no way that I'm standing in line for 3hrs freezing the day after Thanksgiving and letting Santa get credit for it!!! (this year at least lol)

4. What store do you love to by jeans from?

I love Old Navy jeans as of late, I'm so hard to buy jeans for, being a big girl its very hard to find the right fit anywhere. 

5. Christmas meal: Big, All Out Meal or Snacks and Apps?

My mothers birthday is Christmas Day so the past few years we've been doing our big meal Christmas Eve and then snacks and easy stuff on Christmas Day. We've always opened gifts Christmas Eve, this year that may change since hubby may have to work, we don't know yet though. If he does, we'll still do our big meal and each open 1 gift then save the rest for Christmas Morning, which will be totally new for me!
