Welcome to Sunday Stealing. Here we will steal all types of questions from every corner of the blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the most interesting and intelligent questions. Cheers to all of us thieves!
This week we're stealing from Christina at Call Me Patsy. Back in 2008,
she admitted she stole these questions from a blogging buddy named Liz. Here we
don't judge. We celebrate such theft.
Questions Christina Stole from Liz
1. What bill do you hate paying the most? The Birmingham Water Works bill is so ridiculous every month. Our sewer fees are a percentage of water used. We had some landscaping done this month and our water bill was almost $400 this past month. There are two of us living here - not a big family. There has been a lot of corruption in the past at the BWWB.
2. Which restaurant would you recommend for a romantic dinner? We love Blueprint on 3rd. There is another great restaurant - Cafe Dupont . .. or another Hot and Hot. Birmingham is a foodie city.
3. Who was your first grade teacher? Mrs. Wilemon was my first grade teacher. I didn't go to kindergarten.
4. What should you be doing right now? I should be sleeping. I'm writing on Friday night.
5. What did you want to be when you were growing up? I just answered this question on another day. I wanted to be an archeologist.
6. How did you choose the shirt you're wearing right now? I came in from a meeting and changed into shorts and a t-shirt. The t-shirt was clean and the easiest one to grab!
7. Gas prices! What's your first thought? Evidently they are lower this week than a few weeks ago. Gas prices are a necessary purchase.
8. Do you have a teddy bear? I don't think I do . . .I do have a brown sugar bear in my bag of brown sugar!
9. Do you own the last book you read, or did you get it from the library? The last book I read was on my kindle. I know the one I'm reading right now is one I own. Sometimes I get the freebies from Kindle Unlimited.
10. Did you more recently send a text or write a Post It? I sent quite a few texts today. I love Post Its but I don't think I've used any today.
Thank you for playing! Please come back next week.
I always enjoy reading your Sunday Stealing responses such a fun peek into everyday thoughts! That water bill sounds outrageous, especially for just two people! I loved the mention of your teddy bear substitute the brown sugar bear made me smile.
ReplyDeleteAlso, great restaurant picks for a romantic night out Birmingham really does sound like a foodie haven. And as always, I appreciate your honesty and simplicity in each answer. Looking forward to next week’s batch of questions!
Happy weekend
I stayed up too late Saturday night watching the end of the National Spelling Bee, which was on Thursday. It's oddly exciting.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I've ever used Post-Its for is to remind me to do something at work. I do actually have some upstairs but they will probably stay unused as I use other more technological means to set reminders.
ReplyDelete:o)

That was a big water bill. I wanted to be an archeologist at one time, too. I wonder how that would have worked out.
ReplyDelete$400 for a water bill? Oh my goodness! The water here is expensive but not that much! Wow!!!
ReplyDeleteThat was fun, except for that outrageous water bill!! Good grief, I would faint! Whewie!!
ReplyDeleteI don't bake so until today, I'd never heard of a brown sugar bear. Cool!
ReplyDeleteOur water bill is usually low but we have phenomenally high utility prices here, because there's only one company. If you live far enough North you can get on Talquin and they're cheaper but also, not as reliable. It's ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteHi, $400.00 YIKES !!!!!
ReplyDeleteI use to have a brown sugar bear in my brown sugar. I have no idea what happened to it!
