I Can't Pick Favorites . . .Sunday Stealing

I'm joining up with Sunday Stealing and I didn't spend a lot of time on these answers today. I mention this below, but I am not good at picking favorites!

1. Would you rather ride a bike, ride a horse, or drive a car? I drive a car every day. I have ridden a horse a few times (Smoky Mountains, Hawaii, and maybe a couple of other places). I rode my bike everywhere when I was a kid and now I ride my stationary bike every day. I like them all but I guess I would rather drive a car simply because it gets me there quickly.

 

2. Who is your favorite author? I don’t have a favorite. I love so many different authors!!

 

3. Would you rather vacation in Hawaii or Alaska, and why? I’ve never been to Alaska so I’m going to pick Alaska . . .but I much prefer a beach vacation and Hawaii is beautiful with lots of beaches.

 

4. If you could go back in time, what year would you travel to? I really wouldn’t want to erase any of my life. Only because I’m having to study so hard in Biology . . .I might go back to 1976 and go straight to college or 1984 (when we got married) and continue taking classes. Our brains at 65 seem to have to work harder to retain information.

 

5.  What's your favorite zoo animal? I love all of the big cats!

 

6.  What's the tallest building you've been to the top of? I have no idea. For years, I worked on the 10^th floor of a building downtown. The express elevator made me motion sick for the first six months I worked there!! I’ve been to restaurants on the top floor of buildings before. I honestly have no idea what is the tallest building I’ve visited.

 

7. How often do you buy clothes? I buy clothes when I see something I want. Sometimes I buy clothes because I need them when items wear out.  I buy 99% (guesstimate) of my clothes online. I don’t enjoy shopping in the mall/stores anymore.

 

8. What was the last thing you recorded on TV? We’ve been living in a rental apartment for the last year so we have rental TV’s and we’ve recorded nothing.

 

9.  What was the last book you read? Right now, I have a book on my phone I’m reading and a different book on my kindle I’m reading PLUS I’ve been reading Concepts of Biology quite often.

 

10. What's your favorite type of foreign food? I am not good at picking favorites but I think Mexican would be my favorite . . .and I don’t really think of it as foreign 😊.

 

11. What kitchen appliance do you use every day? I probably use the microwave every day.

 

12. How old were you when you learned Santa wasn't real? How did you find out? I’m embarrassed but I think I believed until I was 10 or 12. Of course, another kid in the neighborhood said, “seriously? You still believe in Santa?” I’m pretty sure I replied that my parents told me that when you stop believing, he stops coming. I do remember doubting before then.

 

13.  What was your favorite subject in school? I loved English over all of the years but I also loved BOE (Business Office Education). I was fascinated with Shorthand and Typing and loved both of those. In college (first time around), I loved Spanish and wish I had kept it up. This college go-around, I’ve loved Sociology.

 

14. What's the most unusual thing you've ever eaten? My family ate mayonnaise on corn on the cob rather than butter. I was a young adult before I found out that other people put butter on their corn! I don’t know that I could eat it that way now.

 

15. What's your favorite family recipe? The recipe I use the most is brown sugar brownies (my mother-in-law’s recipe). Mark has been using her recipe this summer to make homemade cooked custard ice cream.
