My Answers:
1. Christmas cookies are my favorite thing to cook! I know that is really not cooking–it is baking–but I am taking cooking as anything that is created in the kitchen!!! When I was growing up that was something that I always did with my mom. She would make a lot of different kinds of cookies and most often they were also used as gifts to our friends. I have continued that tradition and even though my husband and I are “watching the sugar and calories” now, I still made about 15 different kinds this past Christmas. Most got given away and I even had a giveaway on my blog!!! 
2. I don’t know if I can still do it but I was really good at being messy. Ha ha!! You did not expect that, did you?? I couldn’t think of any great feat I could do but I do know that I was very good at having a messy room. Ask my mom! Or my poor sister who had to live with me. Thank goodness my evil ways have changed!!! I am not OCD but I do like a neat and uncluttered house these days. I guess it is part of growing up???
3. The best thing about last week was that I got to see my family!!! I am so blessed to be able to be at a stage in my life when I am not working every day and tied down to a job. This means that I am free to travel a bit -sometimes with my husband and sometimes on my own. What this means is that I get to spend some great time with the family and that makes me very happy. I have the best family in the world—both our own sons and my side of the family along with the absolute best inlaws a girl could have. I do not take it for granted. I know many who do not have good relationships with their family and it makes me sad to think that they do not have what I have.
- The worst thing about where I live is most certainly the snow and ice and cold weather. I am not a fan. I know a lot of people love it but I don’t. I like the first snow and the winter and then I am over it. So over it!!! I try not to complain but I am not very successful at it. I guess I don’t try hard enough!
