Feast Ninety-Eight
Appetizer
What is a word that you use that would not be considered common?
well...i guess because my grandparents only spoke yiddish and german, i have a lot of words that are normal for me to say. but other people don't use them. like kvetch. that's a big one for me. if i say it to people who don't know what it means, they look at me like i'm from Mars. oh, also, Haley can't handle the fact that sometimes i call Isabella "mama" which is short for mamala (Mamala(MAM-ah-lah) Term of endearment, esp. for children.). just a thing i do because that's what my grandparents called me.
Soup
What theme of calendar do you have on your wall this year?

Main Course
If you could buy a new outfit for someone you know - who would it be and what would you purchase for them?
