Meet Me On Monday

Welcome to the 22nd edition of "Meet Me On Monday!"  Thanks once again to Java at Never Growing Old for hosting Meet Me On Monday.  Hope you'll hop over there and link up so we can learn more about YOU--after leaving a comment here, of course. ;-)

1.  Do you eat Sushi?  That would be a big negatory.  No fish, no sushi, none of the above in any way, shape, or form!

2.  What kind of bath soap do you use?  Combination of a moisturizing body wash I buy at Sam's and Zest.  Body wash just doesn't seem to be strong enough for underarms, feet, etc.   TMI?

3.  How often do you talk to your Mom?  Not often enough.  And usually get chastised for not calling more often--which leads me to not want to call--which leads to more chastisement--which leads to....You get the idea.

 This in no way is representative of my mother. ;-)

4.  What TV shows do you watch on a regular basis?  Jeopardy, NCIS, The Closer, Law and Order SVU.  I'm a sucker for cop/forensic type shows--and prefer the real case ones like Forensic Files, Snapped, etc.

5.  Did you start Christmas shopping yet?  Yes, but barely.  I tend to forget where I hide things and have been known to run across a gift in Feb or March.  I like to spend a day or two after mid-December and get it done in one fell swoop.

Wednesday Hodgepodge

Joyce has taken the initiative to pick up where the Random Dozen has left off...kind of!  This is the first edition of Wednesday Hodgepodge:  7 questions to answer with

the opportunity to add your own random item.  Thanks, Joyce!

1. Do you think you're more like your mom or your dad?   I'm finding out every day that I'm more and more like my mom.  And I'm seeing her face looking back at me from the mirror all too often!

2. Do you like roller coasters?  NO!  Don't like heights, don't like motion sickness, don't like being afraid.

3. How did you name your blog and do you now wish you'd thought about it maybe another five minutes before you hit publish? Would you change your blog title if it were not a huge pain in the derriere? (French makes everything sound a little nicer doesn't it?)   My youngest daughter Lauren got tired of trying to talk me into blogging, so she set the whole thing up--THEN told me about it.  She chose the name and I like it.  Would I change it?  A couple of times, I thought I might, but it seems to fit me now.

4. What is the best wedding gift you received? Not married? Didn't get any gifts? Then what is the best wedding gift you've given?   Good grief!  You expect me to remember that far back?  I'm going to say the Betty Crocker cookbook--just because I still have it--and still use it!

5. What is the one bill you most hate to pay?  Right now, it's all the medical bills that are coming in from those required tests since I'm over 50.

6. Is the glass half full or half empty?   Most of the time, half empty

7. What is your favorite word? Okay okay. Calm down. How about one of your favorite words?  Cherish--see Tuesday's post

8. Now, this is where you insert one random thought of your own...maybe something that struck you as funny, something that recently had you scratching your head in confusion, something that annoyed you a teensy bit, something on your to do list, something you are looking forward to, whatever. As long as it is in keeping with the friendly tone we've all come to know and love on Wednesdays then we're good. Don't make me get out my wooden spoon.    My to-do list has 3 big things on it and I just don't know which to start with.  So I'm not accomplishing anything.  Unless you count blogging.  Which I do.
