Meet Me On Monday

Meet me on Monday is a blogging meme hosted at Never Grow Old. There are five questions each Monday. It's a great way for bloggers and their readers to get to know each other better.

These are the questions for this week:

1. Do you have a fireplace in your home?

Yes I do, but it doesn't work. The previous owners had an insert in there and removed it before we bought the house. Last winter (after 9 years of living in our house without any kind of working fireplace), we bought one of those electric fireplaces and it is sitting right in front of it. It looks cute and does a great job of heating.

Ours is like the one pictured below...minus the wheels:

2. Can you drive a stick shift?

Yes, but is not always pretty. I try to avoid stopping facing up a hill whenever possible. This is kind of hard since I live in the most mountainous state. Fortunately, the main vehicle I drive is an automatic.

3. How many computers are in your home?

Four! My hubby's laptop (when he is home), my laptop (just got this year. Yay!), a desktop that Buddy mainly uses, and an old desktop that only runs the weather station and uploads the weather info to the internet.

4. Are your taxes done yet? Do you do them yourself?

Yes they are done! We have a tax lady, because railroad engineers' tax laws/amounts/etc are constantly changing. Worth it to have them done.

5. What is your favorite meal of the day?

Probably dinner, because it usually has the most variety. Besides...you can always have breakfast foods for dinner!

Meet Me On Monday

Meet me on Monday is a blogging meme hosted at Never Grow Old. There are five questions each Monday. It's a great way for bloggers and their readers to get to know each other better.

These are the questions for this week:

1. What is your favorite way to eat potatoes?

I love eating potatoes about any way they come. If I had to choose, I would have to say fried potatoes with lots of sauteed onions.

2. What was the last package that was delivered to your house?

Medication from my insurance's mail-in pharmacy.

3. What is your favorite scent that you love to smell?

"Baby Magic" - My son still uses it, because he prefers the tear-free shampoo. It's OK with me, because when he cuddles with me, I get to smell the Baby Magic.

4. Do you smoke?

NO!

Smoking was the reason my mom died at 40 years old. I also had A LOT of second-hand smoke all through my childhood. Enough to last me a lifetime.

5. Are your parents married or divorced?

My mom and step-father-turned-adoptive-father were still married, but they are both deceased. I lost my mom when I was 19 and my father when I was 35. I do not know who my biological father is and probably will never find out...but that is a story for another day...

Meet Me On Monday

Meet me on Monday is a blogging meme hosted at Never Grow Old. There are five questions each Monday. It's a great way for bloggers and their readers to get to know each other better.

These are the questions for this week:

1. What are you wearing right now?

A bright pink shirt (of course) and shorts. And yes, it IS cold outside. Doesn't matter. :)

2. Do you have any freckles?

Oh yes! I am covered! I had always hated them until recently. Why the change? My son got them from me and he is SOOOO cute!

3. What is your favorite Lifesaver flavor?

Orange, but not really into Lifesavers. I don't really like artificial flavors.

4. What is the last movie you saw in the theater?

Beezus and Ramona - GREAT family movie! Check it out!

5. Would you rather live without tv or without music?

The answer would have to be live without tv, because there is NO way I could live without music. Music is what got me through the hard times in my life and is extremely important to me. I even teach a homeschool co-op class that I created . My main objective is to show the kiddos that they can do it and that it is great fun to learn about and listen to music. I love watching tv, but it is nothing near the necessity of music to me.
