The Person Below Me Game

[Cat01 0]

Oh my goodness-that would be heaven! Of course, as young as the kids are, it will be a while for me!

 

The person below me just wishes that for once they could sleep in! Maybe even til noon!

[Candlefind Placeholder 3]

You know, I do wish I could sleep in, but alas, I am a morning person. Whether I can sleep in or not, I am usually up by 7 at the latest. Of course staying up past 10 is a stretch for me!

 

The person below me has had a surprise party thrown for them.

[Juletones 1]

Don't forget poor Blitzen.

 

I've had one surprise party thrown for me years ago and the friend who brought me to it delivered me fashionably late (which I am not normally) and I felt bad about that...still do.

 

The person below me can Swing dance.

[mpfand 0]

I can't Swing dance, or do any other dance. Complete lack of coordination.

 

The person below me dislikes wrapping gifts and uses gift bags for almost everything.

[candlelove 0]

I really don't enjoy wrapping gifts, but I do it anyway.

 

The person below me is very crafty.

[Juletones 1]

I don't know about very crafty. I like to make things but only if I can't find one already made at the store. Like those Pringles can tart holders.

 

The person below me has had their picture in the newspaper.

[toberetired 0]

Actually, I did some time ago. I was on a float in a Christmas parade.

 

The person below me has taken or is taking their Christmas tree down.

[candlelove 0]

We usually take down our tree on January 6th. I am still enjoying it. I consider the coming week still Christmas.

 

The person below me will be melting Christmas scents for awhile longer.

[Guest Anonymous]

Yep, I have a few Christmas scents to go thru, yet. Will melt them all thru the winter months.

 

The person below me got someone a melter & tarts for a Christmas gift (hoping to get them as addicted as we are. )

[Juletones 1]

No, but I shared the B&B love. :oops:

 

The person below me owns ear muffs.

[Candlefind Placeholder 3]

I probably have a pair of ear muffs somewhere in the scarf/glove/hat drawer. I used to wear a very stylish pair years ago when I worked in NYC. They kept my ears warm, but did not mess up my hair!

 

The person below me has already taken down their holiday decorations.

[Guest Anonymous]

Nope. I didn't get my tree decorated until Dec 20th , so it and the deco's will stay up for a while longer.

 

The person below me is making plans to go someplace warm during the winter months....

[MaggieMae 3]

Nope, not me! No stash set aside for a warm trip...even though that sounds soooo nice considering the snow that is falling as I type!

 

The person below me usually sticks to their New Years Resolutions for at least 3 months!

[Candlefind Placeholder 3]

I do not make specific resolutions for the new year so there are none to break!

 

The person below me is going to the movies this weekend.

[toberetired 0]

I really want to see Marley & Me, but am not sure I am up to all the crying that I hear goes on at the end.

 

The person below me ate blackeyed peas and collards on Janaury 1 for good luck (it's an old southern tradition or so I am told by my MIL). The blackeyed peas are for good luck and she says the collards (green) are for money. I ate them so bring it on!!

 

[Juletones 1]

Best of luck to you, Sandy. One of my friends passed out dimes on New Year's Eve for us all to keep in our pockets. It's a Polish tradition to bring fortune. That's all I've got going for me this year, since I skipped any black eyed peas and collards.

 

The person below me has a framed picture of their grandparents somewhere in the house.

[Guest Anonymous]

Yup, it's actually on the shelf above my computer. Miss hearing their Scottish accent.

 

The person below me has made/decorated a gingerbread house for Christmas (not necessarily this past one).....

[mpfand 0]

The kids and DH and I decorated a gingerbread house this year. We bought the kit at Costco for $9.99. It actually turned out pretty good and was a fun family activity.

 

The person below me went shopping after Christmas to stock up on wrapping paper, etc. for next year.

[Candlefind Placeholder 3]

Not yet.. but I meant to stop by Target to get some of their gift bags... I am sure everything is gone by now.

 

Just wanted to respond to a couple of the earlier posts...

toberetired... I read the book Marley & Me.... cried like a baby. I want to see the movie, but I heard you have to bring some tissues!

Jules, I also have some great framed pictures of my grandparents. I miss them, but love having their photos around.

mpfand... that gingerbread house project must have been fun.

Also, I ate black eyed peas in a salsa on Christmas Day... does that count? Ha!

 

Okay, back to business.

 

The person below me likes to cross country ski.

[Guest Anonymous]

I love snow, but have never gone skiing - cross country or downhill.

 

The person below me has a room in their home decorated around a 'theme' (roosters in the kitchen, Americana red/white/blue, etc)

[mpfand 0]

Most of my rooms have a theme.

 

The person below me has roughly doubled their tart stash since joining CF.

[Guest Anonymous]

Only doubled?? Oh....ok....that's my story & I'm stickin to it.....it's doubled....

 

The person below me has belonged to a bowling league....

[Candlefind Placeholder 3]

Never in a bowling league here... I am an amateur. We do not go bowling often (maybe once every other year, more when the kids were younger). We always have fun when we go... maybe I should make a date soon to go!

 

The person below me does needlepoint.

[Candlefind Placeholder 3]

I don't do needlepoint. I'm lucky to sew on a button.

 

The person below me would rather drive than fly.

[Juletones 1]

That's me. I don't like any of the flying experience.

 

The person below me has seen the Rolling Stones in concert at some point.
