Hey friends! I've missed y'all! I'm joining up with the thieves to answer Bev's questions which she steals from the internet!
Here you go . . .
- What’s your guilty pleasure? My guilty pleasures are more Diet Pepsis than I need and no sugar added fudge pops (not at the same time).
- Which meal is your favorite: breakfast, lunch, or dinner? I think I enjoy dinner the most. Lunch can also be a favorite – as in Sunday family lunches. I like breakfast for dinner but am not a fan of many traditional breakfast foods early in the morning.
- What do you do when you want to chill out after a long day? I get in my recliner and read or watch an episode or two of mindless TV.
- How would you spend your ideal weekend? My ideal weekend would include close friends and/or close family and we would be at the lake or at the beach. We would laugh a lot and eat some good food together.
- Do you listen to podcasts, or mostly just music? What’s your favorite podcast? I have listened to podcasts. As a matter of fact, I had to listen to one on the Cherokee people and the Treaty of Echota this week. Sometimes I’ll listen to a podcast while walking. I enjoy podcasts where there are surprises – something isn’t as it seemed.
- Do you prefer to go to the movies or watch movies at home? I would prefer to go, but that rarely happens so I’ll go with watching movies at home. I watched THE MOST PAINFUL movie I’ve ever seen this weekend. It was for my American History class and the name of the movie is 12 Years a Slave. I’m an older (66!) white woman and I don’t even know where to put everything I saw and heard in that movie . . . and my heart breaks a little more every time I think about it. If you watch it, please don’t watch with small children nearby.
- What was your favorite TV show growing up? When I was in high school, I loved Dark Shadows. These days I can’t watch ANYTHING with a vampire in it. I also loved the cartoons – Road Runner and Bugs Bunny among others.
- What’s your favorite TV show now? We are watching Tracker’s new episodes. We love Mariana van Zeller’s exposés. We’ve watched all of the Ted Lasso episodes several times.
- How would you spend your birthday if money was no object? I would fly to one of the countries on my “want to visit” list and enjoy every moment.
- What’s your favorite season? What do you love most about it? I want to love spring the most BUT I have such horrible allergies. I love the colors of fall, but I miss the long daylight hours of summer. Summer in the deep south is hot and humid, but I guess it is my favorite. I do not like winter at all. I don’t like winter clothes or winter shoes.
- Do you prefer camping or going to the beach? I’m going to ALWAYS choose going to the beach.
- Which phone app do you think you use the most? I use Waze and the Weather Channel often. While traveling, we used Mobile Passport Control (MPC) – it was amazing!!
- Would you instead cook, order delivery, or go out to eat? I would cook if someone else bought the groceries and cleaned up the kitchen afterwards. I do love to go out to eat – maybe more than cooking.
- How do you drink your coffee? I don’t drink coffee at all. My husband is the coffee drinker and he drinks it with lots of half and half and no sugar.
- If you could have any animal as a pet, what would you choose? I’m still missing our sweet Harvey. I don’t think I’ll be getting another pet anytime soon.
For me, too much diet cherry Pepsi. I know that when my wife bakes (less frequently now bc of her busy work schedule), I end up cleaning; maybe I'd like cooking more if we had someone else clean up afterward.
ReplyDeleteSometimes my hubby cleans up as I cook and it is so helpful!!
DeleteI've never had diet soda. And never will!! in fact, I gave up regular soda when I was pregnant with my youngest at age 38 in 1998 and haven't had any since other than coke in a rum and coke or birch beer/ginger beer in a dark and stormy. hahah
ReplyDeleteI love going out to eat!
I love winter here in eastern NY because it's no where near as bad as where i am from (near Syracuse NY) and where I did my undergrad work (Western NY). But my fave season is Autumn.
I know the diet pepsis aren't good for me but I don't have a lot of other vices:-). I am guessing that the leaves are beautiful in your part of the country. They are beginning to turn here in Alabama.
DeleteDark Shadows was a favorite of mine, too!! No camping for me. I use Waze all the time for my GPS, and I listen to Jane. Have a blessed week ahead!
ReplyDeleteI loved Dark Shadows, too. I wasn't supposed to watch it but I did, of course! That show seems pretty campy now, but it was terrific at the time.
ReplyDeleteI loved the Road Runner cartoons.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen "12 years a Slave" but I recently saw "Schindler's List" recently and blubbed like a baby - not a pretty sight.
:o)
Cheers
PM
Schindler's List is a tough movie to watch, too!
