How much money do you plan to spend this upcoming holiday season?
Sorry to say I don’t budget well and I’ll just have to make calculated guesses. For Thanksgiving I’ll probably spend a couple hundred dollars feeding people really well. For Christmas I have to take a wild guess. For decorating (tree, etc.) about $100 (I already have a ton of stuff I’ve collected over the years). For gifts this year probably $1000. For our Christmas meal probably $150.
Soup
What was the last television show you watched, and was it good?
Survivor China. Good? No, entertaining somewhat. I’m really not getting into shows that much this season. I’m looking forward to the Amazing Race starting on Sunday!
Salad
If you had to paint the walls of your living room tomorrow, what color would you choose?
We love color and are not afraid to experiment. My walls are a light chocolate brown in my living room right now and that’s the color that I’d keep them.
Main Course
Name something clever or practical you have thought of that should be invented, but hasn’t yet.
I think restaurants should have a special hook or holder or something clever like that at the table or next to the chair so a woman can keep her purse safe and off the floor.
Dessert
List 3 things you would like to receive as gifts this upcoming holiday season.

I like the idea for your main course. It is such a pain having to hold on to your purse while you eat, or place it on the table besides your plate. Thank you for stopping by to dine with me, Ellen! *smiles*
