Meet me on Monday : November 7th. 2011

Meet me on Monday!! is a meme sponsored by Never Growing Old.

She says: “Blogging is a funny thing…we tell our most intimate thoughts for all to read and yet most of the time I find myself sitting and wondering, “who is this person!?” I know them…but yet I don’t know them! I want to know who the person is behind all those words so I thought of a great way for all of us to “meet” each other!

Every Sunday Never Growing Old will post five get to know you questions that you can copy and paste into your own Monday post and we can all learn a little more about each and every one of us!!”

Today’s questions and answers:

1. Are you excited for the holidays or are you dreading them?
I’m excited. This will be the first Christmas Kristin and I celebrate together and we’ll have her mother and sister w/family visiting at our place on Christmas Eve. (Christmas Eve is the big deal in Norway). These days we’re going slightly mad buying christmassy stuff for our new home and it’s a lot of fun. I’m really looking forward to decorating. December is really dark here in Norway, so we’ll have lots of candles, making sure that they’re all safe from the cat. I don’t much care for the rampant commercialism, but my siblings and I have a good tradition of giving gifts together, that way we can give nice presents without anyone having to spend more money than they can afford.

2. Do you hit the snooze button or get right up?
I snooze. Always!

3. Do you still have your tonsils?
What the heck are tonsils? Dictionary check…. Hm. OK.
Yes, I do. Never caused me any trouble.

4. What was the last piece of candy that you ate?
I had a Bounty on Friday.

5. Do you shop at thrift stores?
No, not my sort of place.
