Sunday Stealing

Sunday Stealing

1) What is your favorite way to spend a lazy day?

A. Reading or watching TV with my husband.

2) What do you look forward to every week?

A. Going to the grocery store.

3) Name three pet peeves you currently have.

A. People who are stupid, people who don't return phone calls (I'm looking at you, repair people), and the lack of rain here, which is not something anyone can do much about, but it still peeves me.

4) If you were to win an all-expense paid vacation for two weeks to anywhere in the world, where would you choose to go? What are some of the things you would like to experience while you were there?

A. I would like to go to Scotland and visit the castle of Mary Queen of Scots. I'd also like to visit Loch Ness. Maybe I'd see Nessie. 

5) What was one of your favorite toys as a kid? Did you save any special things from your childhood that you still have today?

A. I liked to play with Johnny West dolls, which were hard plastic dolls featuring Johnny West, Jane West, General Custer, Geronimo, Chief Cherokee, horses, a wagon, etc. I do not have any of those items; they were in my grandmother's basement and went out in a flood. I still have some things from my childhood - a small jewelry box my grandmother gave me, for instance. But not those toys.

6) What is your favorite holiday? What is your least favorite holiday?

A. My favorite holiday is Halloween. My least favorite holiday now is Christmas. I used to enjoy it, but I don't anymore. Too many people suck the joy right out of it.

7) Have you ever met anyone famous? What concerts have you attended?

A. Isn't this two questions? I have met a lot of politicians. I haven't met any famous musicians or actors. Concerts I have attended include The Commodores, Styx, Linda Ronstadt, Elton John, Neil Diamond, Juice Newton, and Loretta Lynn.

8) Are there any expressions that people use that really annoy you? If so, what are they?

A. "It is what it is."

9) Do you like your name? Are you named after anyone? Is there a story how you got your name? Would you change it if you could? If so, what name would you give yourself?

A. I like my name although I don't think it's a writer's name. I am not named after anyone. However, my grandfather thought I was named after him with my middle name (according to my mother that was not the case, but she let him think that). My father refused to call me by my name and called me a nickname, which I no longer use. In second grade my teacher said they did not use nicknames and after that I was who I am. 

10) It is said that it's the little things that make life worth living. Name five of those little things in your life.

A. Sunsets, love, the seasons (spring, summer, fall), good food, and stories.

Sunset

*Bing AI created the picture of the woman in the grocery store, the Johnny West picture came from the web someplace long ago, and I took the picture of the sunset.
