Sunday Stealing

What type of day are you having? I’m writing this on Saturday morning and so far, I’m having a good day! The sun is shining and it looks like we are going to have another gorgeous Saturday. We are going to go to Bass Pro Shop and to a couple of flooring stores.

Was there anyone who "made your day"? Last week someone gave me a very kind compliment and it made my day!

Are you liking how you look today? What a weird question! I’ve showered and washed my hair but right now I have on exercise shorts, a t-shirt with a Clorox spot on it, and tennis shoes. Before we head out, I’ll change clothes but during the day Saturday is one of my more casual days.

Have you ever eaten a bug? Not intentionally!

Are you vegetarian? Nope. I do eat Morningstar Farms breakfast sausage patties several times a week but that is simply because real sausage is too fattening for me. I do love veggies and fruits but I love meat, too.

When was your last paycheck? I get paid every two weeks and I got paid a week ago.

How many pets do you have? We have one giant cat – Harvey! He is a rescue. Just FYI . . .I'm allergic to cats and dogs and so I take shots, and zyrtec, and cingulair . . .but I'm very thankful for Harvey!

What kind of toothpaste do you use? Crest. About 45 years ago, I had allergy tests done for the first time and one of my allergies was something in Colgate toothpaste so I’ve used Crest ever since. I’ve had allergy tests several other times since then and the more recent tests have only tested for things like trees, grasses, mold, animal dander, etc.

Are you closer to being rich or poor? By worldly standards, we are rich. By local standards, we are pretty normal. Compared to some of our friends, we are poor. It is relative! Let me say that we buy the groceries we want, we travel some, we drive decent cars, we live in a nice neighborhood BUT we don’t live in the most expensive house in our neighborhood.

What was the last gift someone gave you? When our home burned in July, our Sunday School class and a few other folks gave us an unbelievable cash gift plus gift cards. It was very humbling. I think it is probably the most kind and generous gift anyone has ever given to me (us).

Do you appreciate that person? See above – it was a group of people and we appreciate them VERY much!

Did you talk to anyone you didn't like today? I haven’t talked to anyone I don’t like YET hahaha!

Do you like picnics? Depends on your definition of picnic! When my kids were young and Mark was out of town, we would “picnic” on the den floor in front of the TV and I would enjoy that! I haven’t been on an actual “sit outside on a blanket with a picnic basket” kind of picnic in a long time! There are several parks in our neighborhood and I see people having a picnic in one of those parks almost every weekend.

What book are you currently reading? Marriage, a History - How Love Conquered Marriage by Stephanie Coontz. This is my textbook for this semester. 

I just finished reading “Excuse Me While I Disappear: Tales of Midlife Mayhem by Laurie Notaro. Do not read this if you are easily offended by language and slightly off color humor. I literally laughed out loud when reading it. Amazon’s blurb says this: ”And the #1 New York Times bestselling author has never been so fearlessly funny as she is in this empowering, candid, and enlightening memoir about living life on the other side of fifty.” If you aren't easily offended and are over 50, I recommend it!

I've also been reading my Bible (Gospel of Matthew) and Barclay's commentary on Matthew for our Sunday School class.

What song did you last listen to? My playlists are quite eclectic. Last song was Great Are You Lord by All Sons & Daughters and next up is Firework by Katy Perry along with Defying Gravity by Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel. While I've been typing more songs have played -- right now, it is Kill Em with Kindness by Selena Gomez . . .and now it is Overcomer by Mandisa! I told you -- VERY ECLECTIC!

How many tabs are open on your computer? Nine – I have my email, my boss’s email, two target windows, Sunday Stealing, two flooring companies, my blog, plus Amazon!

Are you a very stressed out person? I think I am. I wish I were more easy going and laid back and go with the flow but that is not who I am 😊.
