Meet Me On Monday

Looking for a way to make Monday more enjoyable?  Hop on over to Java's Meet Me On Monday at Never Growing Old and join in some much needed Monday fun!





Questions:

1.  What is your favorite way to eat potatoes?  I love french fried potatoes.  My absolute favorite of all- the waffle fries at Chick-fil-A!  I could eat them and eat them and eat them and then, eat them some more!  Which is why I avoid that place.  However, on the rare occasions that we do find ourselves at Chick-fil-A (seriously like twice a year at the most) all I get are the waffle fries!  Did I mention that I LOVE them?! 



2.  What was the last package that was delivered to your house?  Birdie had books delivered here.  It's always books, movies, or running shoes with that one! 



3.  What is your favorite scent that you love to smell?  The air.  Sounds funny I guess but we live less than five minutes from the beach and the ocean air is just heavenly!  That's what gets in your blood after you've lived near the ocean for a while- now, I'm not sure I could live without it!



4.  Do you smoke?  Nope!  And I cannot stand the smell of cigarette smoke.  Sometimes Hubs has that smell on his clothes because he works with smokers or has been around his siblings or his BFF (and I hate this because I believe second hand smoke is bad news) and, as soon as I smell it I can also taste it and then it goes straight into a headache.  Weird.  But I love to smell cigars and pipes!  (Also weird)



5.  Are your parents married or divorced? They are divorced.  They have been divorced for 32 years and I still hate it.  Although, I really love my step-mother.  She's great!  My mother has been holding this grudge forever and it is NOT pleasant being around that attitude.  It's one major reason I hate holding grudges.  It has made our lives very difficult when it comes to graduations, weddings, other family events.  No one else has a problem, just her.  And she makes it known-one way or the other. Let it go!


This is Day 7 of NaBloPoMo for the month of March.  The theme for the month is "In a word."  The prompt for today is: What's one thing that scares you right now, and why should you make a real effort to face that fear and do it anyway?  I can't think of a thing that scares me (other than when I watch Criminal Minds alone but I don't think that was the point of the prompt...LOL) so my word for today is:  MEET.

  2. I wish I lived 5 minutes from the beach instead of 5 minutes from a Chik-Fil-A! Blast those waffle fries!

    I used to be a terrible grudge holder! It's not worth it and it makes your life just miserable.

  3. Barb- Ain't it the truth!

    Chele- We live 5 minutes from BOTH! I blame the waffle fries for me not wearing a bathing suit at the beach anymore! LOL That's true--about the grudge holding.

    Love- Thanks!

  5. I'm envious of your close location to the beach! We live about 80 miles away.

    I've been reading back to catch up on your posts since I was away from the computer a bit. Tucker was/is adorable. I love that he rides on your bike with you!

    You are so right--shrimp fresh off the boat don't even compare to the rest! My parents used to drive to Darien to get them fresh off the boat.

    You have a great Monday, see ya' tomorrow :)

  7. My daughter is divorced with 3 kids. It is so hard not to be angry at her ex about the way he treated her and the way he treats the children now. He has remarried and has a new baby and it's like his other children don't exist anymore. Makes me sad.

  8. I like the smell of a pipe, too (not cigars, though) and I wonder why that is? I hate cigarette smoke.

    BTW, Criminal Minds IS very scary. I wouldn't watch it alone, either.

  9. I love reading your answers! If you had eaten some of my husband's fresh fried potatoes with onions and peppers today, you'd change your mind about the Chick Fil'A potatoes. LOL (I really can't judge that, for we don't have Chick Fil'A around here.)

  10. I also wish I could smell your air. The air here is good though. We live in the country and when the wind blows opposit from the cows, it is very nice. LOL! LOVE the puppy in your last post too!!!!

  11. Bella- Wonder how much trouble I'd be in if I shot the neighbors window out? LOL

    Kathy- I'm excited about your giveaway!

    Beverly- If it was something like that for us I could understand being angry...but it wasn't. And, seriously, after 30 years? It really is sad for the kids-I never understand how anyone doesn't love their kids! Never.

    Stephanie- Cigarette smoke makes me sick! I think I like cigar smoke because it reminds me of my great grandfather--he was awesome!

    Judy- I don't know if they'd take first- but I'm willing to try them out to see! LOL

    Joshlin- Too funny- when the wind blows opposite the cows! LOL

  12. the waffle fries look lovely, so I can see why you stay away from that place!
    I love the smell of pipe smoke cos it reminds me of my grandfather, but I hate all other smoke.
    Happy MMOM, I'm too busy this week to do it, but enjoyed reading your post.

  14. The smoke smell is why I don't go to the bar anymore. There is a no smoking ban to take effect in June though so maybe I will start frequently that place then.

  15. Blue- we have the No Smoking around the entire county---but then people smoke right at the entrances and you have to walk through it to get inside---mostly these are employees. UGH!!!

  16. Oh those waffle fries look so yummy! Now my stomach is threatening to mutiny if I don't haul my butt to Chic-fil-a!
