, hahahahaaa ("taste better when photographed") i would LOVE to get me some sumac, but i don't have any thing around me like that and they suggest cumin if you don't hae sumac

and YES! i used a whole lemon for juice, and it was SO good! (in the hummus)

and because of the food processor, it came it SO Smooth! YUM hahahaaa

grin. , yah. he knows. he gave me an AWESOME gift certificate from amazon. told me he gave it to me early, so i could get the stuff i wanted, and put the boxes under the tree. :D (he did that with a bow he bought for himself for "christmeas" hahahaaa) 2 days later, he asked me if i had bought any thing yet from amazon and i said YES! ALL OF IT! lol i got the food processor, some awesome colored markers and a sketch pad (for my doodles), pj bottoms, tshirt, a new mouse pad, and a knife and cutting board set (it's like 4 different color cutting boards, with the knives having the same color handle as the cutting board it goes with. so veggies with veggies, meat with meat, fish with fish, etc) /heh. i can use the help/ lol

and of course, BOOKS! hahahaaaaa

Hi! Welcome to the group 👋

Thank you! ^^ How've you been?

I'll definitely be relaxing! I don't really do anything for Christmas, so I'm ready for it already haha. Your tree must be pretty! Red's my favorite color, and I love gold, too.

Aw, sorry to hear you're sick :c That's no fun at all. I hope you get over it quickly. Ah, thank you! I do still need a bunch. I'm not even at half way yet...

You could maybe order some sumac from Amazon. Surprisingly it is not even that expensive. There appears to be a small chance (1/20 ish) that it arrives in bad shape - opened, stale, etc, but if so you can probably send it back for a refund or replacement.

Just found the hummus recipe I'm going to use! LOL! Enjoy your time w/ THE MAN!! ;-) :-D

I'm good! Just finished my Christmas shopping! Yayyyy! And it was weird, I was at a Walmart and it wasn't even busy! During the middle of the day too!! I bet you're ready for holiday shopping to be done! :-P

Great HA!! And welcome to our chat!!! :-)

dog :) it's my animal year :D every 12th birthday it's your animal year :D so 12th, 24th, 36th etc. Haha tbh I didn't quite learn the order of the 12 animals, only know the first two, and the animals between the dog :p i know it's the dog because I'm turning 24 next year xD

Ah, that's a great accomplishment! I'm not getting much for anyone for Christmas because money but hopefully I can make up for it later. Wow, really? Walmart has been PACKED all hours of the day since before Thranksgiving here. You must have been lucky! Sorta! I'd rather be busy than slow. So I don't want it to be crazy busy like it can be but I'd rather it be busy than no one in the store. They've been open additional holiday hours this month, but no one really comes in after 7pm. We stayed open until 9pm the one night and only one person came in between 6 and 9.

Yeah I am taking a ton of meds though so maybe I'll be ok DX lol I am never gonna change my username so you wont have to worry about that.

Not to awful not as tired as earlier. Hopefully I can nip this in the bud

I counted up people gifted and was at 97 thinkvI should gift three more and make it 100 people lol!! I may have gone over board DX XD

Thanks I hope ot goes quickly

cool

haha, of course not xD just trying to get so much done before we head home next friday. i would like to come back to a clean house. got my tree decorated finally but not enough ornaments, lol xP also wrapped presents and have them under the tree until we leave. next week will be cleaning house and animal cages. gotta get a fence from the bosses house to hold the big dogs in while we're gone. also one last checking of mail on the 21st to see if anymore ornaments are here xD

Sounds like you have been super busy!! I got my nails did and finished my christmas cards! Got most gifts wrapped but gotta still get two
