This week Bev says:
Have you ever eaten at restaurant and you realized you forgot your money? I don't think so. I can't remember it ever happening, anyway.
True or false-you can pat your head and rub your tummy at the same time. Only with great concentration. I am not naturally that coordinated.
Do you prefer to drink out of cans or bottles? Bottles, though I don't really mind cans.
Do your socks match today? What socks? I've been barefoot all day.
What was the last book you read? Would you recommend it? I'm currently reading Spiritual Wisdom for a Happier Life: How Your 8 Key Emotions Can Work for You by Mark W. Baker, PhD. It's one of the books I get for free and review for Revell Publishing and yes, I would recommend it. It's nearly 400 pages but it's written clearly in understandable language and the chapters are only 3-4 pages long. I've really gained a lot of insight into what's behind the behavior of others as well as about myself.
Are you currently borrowing something from someone? No, I don't think so. I can't think of anything, anyway.
Write an extremely random statement. "I had to wait three hundred years for a virgin to light a candle." Sorry, I'm watching Hocus Pocus.
Are there any major holidays you don’t celebrate? Assuming you are asking about American holidays, the answer is no.
What is one thing you will never understand? Math
Have you ever stepped on a bee? Yes, and the little bugger stung me on the toe.
What helps you wake up in the morning? Diet Coke
What did you have for breakfast this morning? I don't eat breakfast since I've been trying to follow a 16-hour fasting plan. It's working. I've lost 30 pounds since June.
What is your favorite thing in your room? You said "my" room. The only room in the house that is totally mine is my office and I hardly know where to start to choose a favorite thing in there. All of my favorite stuff is in there....my books, my journals, my crafts, family photos, my great-grandmother's dough box that my favorite aunt gave me before she died, my signed and numbered print from the 2013 Chincoteague Pony Swim (I waited my whole life to go to that!), the sweet little writing desk I bought at an auction for $7....
Who was your first kiss with? Technically speaking, with a boy named Joey Bradshaw in 1st grade. My first "real" kiss was at a school dance in 9th grade with a boy named Gene.
Do you worry about small things? Not really. I try not to worry about the big things either since all the worry in the world won't change a thing, but I can't say I'm always successful.
I'm going to add your book to my GoodReads list! I like your recommendation.
ReplyDeletePS--have you recovered from the wedding?
I think you will find it very interesting!
DeleteYes, I think we are over the wedding. Now "we" are hyper-focused on a first birthday party and Christmas. Sigh. I hope that one day my daughter learns to take things in stride without everything being all or nothing.
I love that you gave your kissy partners' names.
ReplyDeleteI don't think either reads my blog, though I am still in touch via FB with the later one.
DeleteI love that you "couldn't remember anyway"!!!! hahahha. You hit that right on the head. Can you share the 16 hour fasting plan with me? xoxo
ReplyDeleteHave a great week. And stay warm, looks like we might be edging into fall, finally!!
The 16-hour fast is pretty easy. Whatever time you eat your last food at night, count forward from there 16 hours. That is when you can eat again and you have 8 hours to eat. You can eat whatever you want, no counting calories, though some do. Some follow the Atkins diet during their eating window. You eat whatever works for you and you can adjust your times so the window falls at times that work best for your schedule. You might eat a lot at first but everyone tends to adjust and come into something more sensible. I've been doing it combined with the diet aide, Adipex-P, since the beginning of June and I've lost 30 lbs.
DeleteI'm intrigued by the 16-hour fast. Hmmmmmm....
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your answers and we did answer a few pretty much the same way.
As I explained to Mair up above: The 16-hour fast is pretty easy. Whatever time you eat your last food at night, count forward from there 16 hours.

Delete"Your" room sounds comforting, indeed. Doesn't every woman need a sanctuary of her very own.
ReplyDeleteBecause I may have something similar (that) my grandpa made, I'd love to see a photo of your great-grandmother's dough box sometime!
I'll see what I can do. I think I have a picture on Facebook. If I do I will tag you.
DeleteAnother bare footed lass! Cool!
ReplyDeleteHocus Pocus has Kathy Najimy in it! Now I've got to see it.
Your room and all the favorite things sounds like a wonderful place indeed.
