I'm seriously considering serving toast and popcorn Thursday

Don't forget - tonight is the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving special on ABC. I love that show. I love all the Charlie Brown shows. My Kid never got into them; in fact, I'm not sure he ever even watched them. When we were kids, we didn't have cartoons at our disposal 24/7, so when the holiday shows came on THEY WERE SPECIAL.

Who's your favorite Peanuts character? Which one do you relate to the most?

As a kid, I think I was kind of bossy like Lucy.

Lucy was introduced into the strip on March 3, 1952 as a wide-eyed baby who constantly tormented her parents. Very early on, Schulz eliminated the circles around her eyes and allowed her to mature to the age of the other characters. She soon grew into her familiar persona of a bossy, crabby girl.
But now that I'm grown, I think I'm most like Frieda, she of the "naturally curly hair."

Journalist Christopher Caldwell described her as, "A fetching, kind and charming girl, who throws her deeper goodness away because she wants to be admired for such superficialities as 'being a good conversationalist'."

And don't forget for her "naturally curly hair"!

For some reason, I'm starting to think Lucy was misunderstood. ;)

Favorite Peanuts character--Woodstock and Snoopy. You can't live in the Minneapolis area and not love Snoopy (St. Paul being the home of Charles Schulz--did I spell that right???, I hope it is not Schultz). Anyhow I had a boyfriend who used to tell me I reminded him of Woodstock. This is when I was blonde, and you know how Woodstock does not really talk in words, but he always has all those chatter symbols above his head, so he is chatty like me. Or something!
