Sunday Stealin' Meme


HAPPY AUTUMN! I've decided to join in on the Sunday Stealin' meme hosted by this blogger. Check it out!


1. What popular TV show do you refuse to watch? 

all of them. seriously: the only television I watch is Law and Order SVU and the first half hour of The Today Show M-F. No time for tv. I especially cannot stand reality tv or those insane competitions. 

2. What pets did you have while growing up?

None too many of us had allergies and we spent our summers up north or traveling so.....

3. What is the luckiest thing that has happened to you?

I don't believe in "luck" but if I had to choose I'd say meeting my husband and having our 2 amazing daughters after becoming a Christ follower. 

4. What are some small things that make your day better?

brewed coffee, time in the Scriptures, a good power walk, a hot shower, hugs from hubby

5. What’s your favorite piece of clothing you own/owned?

I love my clothes!! I'm totally into classic pieces and trends for each season. Right now my fave piece is an over-sized "boyfriend" blazer in khaki. In fact, I'm wearing it right now with a linen summer top of blue and yellow small flowers on  a white background and a light khaki skort by Eddie Bauer, and little cream colored boots. Church outfit. Trendy but with classic pieces. My fave classic piece is my black cardigan. 

6. What’s the most annoying habit other people have?

texting while you're trying to talk to them. 

7. What game or movie universe would you most like to live in?

I'd want to live in Narnia (based on C S Lewis' The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe)

8. What’s the most impressive thing you know how to do?

HM....not sure if it's impressive but I can print my name with both hands. I also know how to sight read music on the piano and vocally. 

9. What was the best book or series you’ve read?

This is a tough one because it depends on the genre!!  the creator of these questions should have narrowed it down to a genre so I will: 

for historical fiction: any thing by Tatiana de Rosnay; The Book Thief

for drama: Where the Crawdads Sing; The Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet

for non-fiction Christian: any thing by Priscilla Shirer

for fantasy: The Harry Potter Series

10. What state or country do you never want to go back to?

Indiana.....ugh....driving through it drove me insane. flat, boring, hot.  

11. Where do you usually go when you have time off?

the mountains (Adirondacks, Catskills or Green Mts) and/or one of the ADK lakes

12. What amazing thing did you do that no one was around to see?

climbed/rock scrambled up the side of Hurricane Mt by myself in 2013. 

13. What is something you think everyone should do at least once in their lives? 

work at a drive through in fast food. You will then know the reason why we need better living wages in this nation. and also: hike at least one  deep woods trail. I dare ya!!

14. What’s something you’ve been meaning to try but just haven’t gotten around to it?

Paddle boarding. 

15. What is something most people consider a luxury but you don’t think you could live without?

having the Empire Pass and owning my kayak

A kayak! That's a cool answer.

Driving to church this morning, the answer to what I hate are people crossing the street while on their phones!

Fun! I loved hearing all your answers. I'll answer a few... I'm not a fan of reality shows either. We had a little Sheltie growing up and he barked all the time! I don't believe in luck either - being a mom to my darling daughter is one of the best things that ever happened to me, followed by being saved and baptized at the age of five. Spending time with God and coffee definitely makes my day better! My favorite clothing is the pair of black capri comfy yoga pants from Boden (they are three years old and worn out btw) that I'm currently wearing and wear around the house every day. The most annoying habit other people have is smacking loudly on gum - I cannot stand it - texting while talking to me is also annoying. The state I never want to go back to is Oregon - I didn't like the vibe at all or the rainy weather. I consider A/C a luxury and could not live without it!

Hi Faith. It was great to read your answers. I don't like talent competitions on TV either. I hope you have a great week.
