Monday Madness

We thought we would take part in some Monday Madness this week. Join in on the fun! While you are here be sure to check out the recipe for Pork Tenderloin Cubano we just posted. It's delicious!

1. When is the last time you planned for a party/social gathering at your house?
One week ago.

2. What type of event was it?
It was a small family gathering on the Memorial Day holiday. We cooked out hamburgers and hot dogs and all the fixin's and went swimming and played some games. It was a lot of fun.

3. Do you enjoy hosting parties at your house, or do you find the preparation stressful?
We do enjoy having parties at our house when we have enough time to prepare without getting exhausted. If time is short and the house is in need of some serious cleaning (which of course is never the case ;-) then it can be a bit stressful.

4. Do you tend to have a lot more food than needed for these events, or are you pretty good about estimating how much to serve?
Usually we have extras but that is because I like to have leftovers to skip cooking for the next day (or two) and I like to send goodies home with my guests.

5. Some people have gatherings at their homes on a regular basis because it forces them to really CLEAN. How do you feel about this?
I do a good cleaning when I have company coming, but I would never have a party just to force myself to clean. Yuck!

Have a great week everyone!

Monday Madnes - A Bit Late

1. Do you ever use all caps when typing online messages?
NO, NO, NO!

2. Does it bother you when other people use all caps in their messages?
YES IT DOES!

3. Do you use abbreviations (i.e. lol, brb, etc.) when typing email messages or text messages?
I use very few because 1) I don't know that many of them and 2) most of the people I email know even less of them than I do

4. Do you ever receive faxes or other correspondence from a professional office that are typed in all caps? If so, what do you think of that?
Never had that happen

5. Do you rely on the computer program to catch your typing errors, or do you proofread your material before sending it out?
Eye hav neverr profred mi maetrial. Nver had a kneed too. :-) That was fun!

Monday Madness for Valentine's Day

Thank you all for playing Monday Madness. With Valentine's Day coming up this week, I thought I'd use questions offered by one of our very faithful MM players, rach. Thank you, Rach! Look for YOUR questions to be used in the future! Have a great week, everyone! =)

1. How do you celebrate Valentine's Day?
We are not very big on Valentine's Day, we try to celebrate our relationship all year long. We do get each other a card and occasionally a gift. We usually give our boys a little something extra just to remind them that we love them.

2. Name a special gift you received during Valentine's Day.
A pendant heart necklace from my kids.

3. Define Love using each letter: L.O.V.E.

Living life to the fullest together
Obstacles bring us closer
Value one another
Express your affection on a daily basis

Have a lovely week everyone!
