Sunday Stealing

I'm joining up with Bev at Sunday Stealing for this week's questions. She stole these from League of Extraordinary Penpals.

1.  What would you put in a time capsule? I think I would put a copy of the magazine showcasing our house and photos of Mark and me as kids plus photos of our two children at different stages of life. I am not sure what else we should include. If it is representative of 2024, we would need an I-phone and a laptop or I-pad so that those in the future could see our technology and laugh! I can't wait to read everyone's answers for this one.

2.  What’s something you’re really good at? I'm a good cook. I can type really fast. I can laugh louder than just about anyone!

3.  What part of society would you like to change? I'm not sure if this is the answer anyone is looking for but the conversation we had last night as we were driving home from dinner is immediately where my thoughts went. In the U.S. we have two poor candidates for President. We are a big country with lots of well educated people. It seems we could raise up some better candidates for President. I don't know how I would change it except to hopefully find some good candidates. 

4.  What have you eaten in the past 24 hours? I'm sure I have eaten too much! I'm typing this on Saturday morning. We went to Taco Mama for dinner last night and I had a burrito bowl and a margarita. I only ate a few chips. I had a cup of black beans and rice for lunch yesterday and some 100 calorie oatmeal for breakfast yesterday. I had a built bar as a snack and we had some watermelon.

5.  What is an unusual fact about you? I was living with identical twin roommates when I met Mark, who is an identical twin. When we got married, Kaye and Faye were in the wedding as well as Mark's brother, George. We had two sets of identical twins in the wedding. My daddy had twin sisters and I was the youngest grandchild on that side of the family and I always said I would have twins. Well, I did. We have fraternal boy/girl twins who will be 38 in November. Did you know that identical twins aren't hereditary? They just happen. Fraternal twins are hereditary.

6.  Do you collect anything? Do dust bunnies count? hahaha! For a short time when I was younger, I collected thimbles. I have none of them now. We have some antique fishing gear in a shadow box, but we don't add to it. Neither of us like clutter and sometimes collections, even though the collection might be loved, add to clutter. 

7.  Have you played sports? When I was growing up, I loved to play kickball. There were 17 kids in our neighborhood and we played outside a lot. As a young mom, I took tennis lessons for a year or so but wasn't good enough to continue (my opinion). When I was a young adult, I played raquet ball for a while. I was an ok player.

8.  What is your favorite blog? Should I say my own? I love so many blogs -- I like Respice, Prospice and Mix and Match Mama and Sunday Stealing and From This Side of the Pond. I enjoy The Plastic Mancunian because I love reading about life in other countries plus their viewpoint on things going on in the U.S. There are so many others I enjoy -- Your friend from Florida and Country Dew are good, too! I know I am forgetting some important ones and as soon as I publish this . . .I will remember. If I didn't name your blog, it isn't because I don't love visiting with you. I'm just experiencing a momentary brain blip.

9.  Ketchup vs. mustard? I like both. I wouldn't put ketchup on a turkey sandwich -- that would be gross, in my opinion. On that sandwich, mustard would be my favorite, but I prefer ketchup with my fries.

10.  Do you believe in ghosts or aliens? I've never experienced either.

11.  The last movie you saw in a theater. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

12.  The silliest thing you have done this week. I cannot think of a single silly thing. I've baked two pies and made two batches of cheese straws and worked 40 hours and participated in my online class. . . surely I've done something silly.

13.  Have you ever done anything illegal? Yes, when I was very young.

14.  What would you wish for right now? Peace on earth?

15.  What shoes do you wear the most of? I wear Birkenstocks and tennis shoes more than any other shoes.
