It is a few hours from 2009 and I've decided to let the Belle go, and just be Q.
Q is a beloved nickname of mine that rings most true of any name I've ever been given. A year ago today I was with the two ladies who christened me Q, they are pretty fantastic (and smart obviously).
Here we go, let's do this! 2009!

25 questions of Christmas
1. Wrapping paper or gift bags?
I really try to wrap as much as possible, so much so that I lie to the Dillard's people and ask for more boxes than what I bought.

I like to decorate for Christmas for my birthday, November 30th.

I enjoy it for about one glass, then I'm done.
6. Favorite gift received as a child?
Easy Bake oven

My grandma, she has a lot of stuff and not a lot of room.
8. Easiest person to buy for?
Seth, I could buy him something everyday if I had to.

Cards.
11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received?

24. Favorite for Christmas dinner?
Well I have to say tamales again, and it usually comes with beans and salad with my Grandma's dressing. Then there is usually pie.
25. What do you want for Christmas this year?
I need new Jazzercise shoes, I'm about to slip and fall on my ass!
