Sunday Stealing

1. What's something you've recently accomplished solo?

A. I go to the little girl's room solo. Does that count? 

2.  What's one product you use that never ever fails?

A. Dawn dishwashing liquid.

3. Have you found your place in the world? Where is it?

A. I reckon I have. If I ain't where I'm supposed to be, I've no idea where it is I might out'n be.

4.  Worst movie you ever saw?

A. It was something by Adam Sandler. I can't remember the name of it.

5. What's the last fun thing you did?

A. We went to the farmer's market Saturday morning.

6. What's your favorite Italian dish?

A. Spaghetti, although I'm not sure that's actually Italian.

7. Have you ever been to France? Any desire to visit there, and if so, what would site or city would you most want to see?

A. I have been to Paris, France. I wouldn't mind going back now that I am older. One of the things that thrilled me the most was a painting in the Louvre. I don't remember anything about it except it was painted so that the lighting was transformative to me. Some part of me wants to go back and see if I can find that painting again (although it may not even be on display now, since I was last there about 40 years ago).

8. Have you ever been to Disney, any of the parks at all? Are you a Disney superfan or something less than that? They're open right now so tell us, would you go if you had the time/money/a free trip?

A. I have been to Disney in Orlando. I'm not a super fan. I'm not sure I'm even a medium fan. I would go if it were free, sure, and I could go in the winter.

9. Your favorite place to go when you want to be quiet as a church mouse? Would those who know you well describe you as more church mouse or perhaps more like mighty mouse?

A. I am more of a church mouse, and my favorite place to go is my home.

10. Do you bake your own bread? Last time you had hot out-of-the-oven homemade bread? What's your favorite kind of bread?

A. I do not bake my own bread. I am not sure when I last had homemade bread. I don't necessarily have a favorite bread.

11. What's something you might say is 'the greatest thing since sliced bread'?

A. My cellphone.

12.  Share with us five little things you're grateful for today. Small blessings. One catch-they all must start with the letter T.

A. The husband, the air conditioner, the finger splint on my dislocated finger, the hot dogs I had for lunch, and the time to write this. (Yes, I cheated by using "the." Sue me.)

13. Tell us where you were and something about what life was like when you were 20- 21.

A. I married when I was 20. Bread cost about $0.99 a loaf, gasoline was around $1.25 a gallon, and our rent was $225 a month. The top song on the radio was When Doves Cry by Prince, followed by songs like Jump by Van Halen. My husband's starting salary at the fire department was $13,000, and I was making about $8,000 as a legal secretary. I was also going to night school at the local community college.

14. What's on the menu at your house this week?

A. Chicken is almost always on the menu, along with squash of some kind, green beans, peas, and maybe mashed potatoes. We generally eat a sandwich for lunch.

15.Something you recently purchased where a coupon was involved? Do you regularly shop with coupons?

A. I do not regularly shop with coupons, but I receive them on my card for CVS, so when I last purchased acetaminophen at CVS, there was a 40% off coupon for me to use.
