I dislike that the stores start putting Christmas decor around October and as soon as November rolls around, they start playing the music.
23. Favorite ornament theme or color?
My current favorite ornaments are all the crocheted ornaments I purchased from this one lady at the Novemberfest show. Every year since Sam and I got married we would go to Novemberfest to pick up one or two ornaments. I went this year and the lady wasn’t there. Sam said that she probably passed away. I was distraught. Anyways, I love those ornaments. I also love the ones we picked up at Disney and the NY Taxi one.
24. Favorite for Christmas dinner?
Mexican food all the way: tamales, pozole, more tamales, more pozole.
25. What do you want for Christmas this year?
I certainly do not need anything but I would love to have a new vacuum, a pair of dumbbells in size 12.5 lbs and 15 lbs, a Livestrong cycling jersey, some new cycling socks…but most of all, I just want to spend it with my husband and children. I want to see my children’s faces when they open their presents.
26. Who is most likely to blog about this?
Dunno.
27. Lights, blinking or always on?
Always on. Blinking lights give me a headache.
You are such an interesting person Isela. : )
Oh man, now you have me thinking about tamales. We used to get them every year from a lady that worked for one our clients. She isn't there anymore, so I haven't had any in a few years. :(

Isela greetings from Wales, UK. I just dropped in to see your drop down archive menu and find you have a wonderful horizontal nav bar - it looks great! Are you on the new platform with Typepad then or are you using CSS?
Re: this meme, which I'm going to do my best to blog, what's a Logan Temple? I have 'tisty tosties' on mine (pine cones), sprayed silver and tied with white ribbon.
Warmest
Claire
PS. How's the new laptop?! That's the one I want :)
