1. What was your after school routine like when you were a kid?
I really can't remember what I did when I was a kid after school. However, I do remember when I was in high school, I would rush home from school, grab a bite to eat and then head back to band practice. My band would practice till at least 8:30 every night. After band practice, I would start on my homework and have a snack. And do it all over again the next day.
2. January 26 is National Green Juice Day ( I guess it's true everything really does have it's day). Do you juice, as in make your own in an attempt to get healthy? Do you do the green juices? What's your favorite kind of juice (home blended or store bought, either one)?
I do not juice at all. As far as juices are concerned, I only drink Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice. The other juices give me heartburn!
3. What's something trivial about which you have a strong opinion?
I have and use my dishwasher. Before putting dishes in the dishwasher, I always rinse them off and scrape the dried food off. My daughter thinks this is a waste of time; she just puts them in the dishwasher. My daughter says I might as well not use the dishwasher since they are practically clean before putting them in. In my opinion, I have to get the food off of them. I guess in my mind, I am thinking that placing dirty dishes is not sanitizing them enough for me.
4. What do you need more of in your life? Less of?
Right now, I need more socializing. The weather has put a damper on my socializing . It has been too snowy to go anywhere and so cold! Yesterday, was the first day we were able to have church services since Christmas Eve! It was so good to back!
I need less of purchases. Since the weather has permitted me to go anywhere, I have been buying unnecessary stuff online! I have been reading many books, trying to watch TV (which I am not a TV person) but then say to myself, "Wonder what specials are on Amazon today?"
5. Give us three adjectives to describe your January.
Bleak, Snowy, and Lonely
6. Insert your own random thought here.
Sickness hit my daughter's household. Her oldest had the stomach bug first, then daughter, then one twin, then the other twin, and finally her husband. I brought stuff to their house and put it on their steps, Once I was back inside my vehicle, I texted to let them know. I knew if I saw how pitiful the grandsons were, I would go inside and cuddle them and then catch the awful stomach bug! I am really surprised because the oldest grandson hasn't been in school due to weather so I am wondering how/when they could have come in contact with the virus. Maybe hub brought it in. Yep, I am blaming him!
Have a great rest of the week and Enjoy Life. It is supposed to be in the 50s the next few days! Yay!!!
We'll be in the upper 60's today and I'm ready! We had a stomach bug here too, some got it some didn't. It's everywhere it seems. Hope you get out and about this next month. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteMy son works at a bougie restaurant AS a dishwasher so he has a really nice industrial machine. Hence, when he's at home he doesn't bother pre-washing and it drives me crazy!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you were really dedicated to band practice.
ReplyDeleteSo many people seem to drink cranberry juice, it's something that I have never really tried unless it's in a cocktail.
Oh no! I hope your daughter and her family all feel better soon.
I actually had to jump and look at your profile so I could see where you live -- Virginia! Did y'all get that huge snowstorm that blew across the gulf coast last week? We live in the middle of Alabama and the storm was below us BUT we had received a nice snowfall a week before. It sounds like you've been homebound due to weather quite a lot since Christmas. My hubby nor I are very good at being stuck in the house. I'm glad you are able to get out now!!
ReplyDeleteI had to smile about the dishwasher. My son tells me the dishwasher gel adheres to the dirty plate and cleans it better. Now, that doesn't sound right!
ReplyDeleteI don't have your email address. dpucci9972@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteHow nice that you were in band. I need to buy me some cranberry juice. I like getting all the food off too. However, lately I haven't even been using the dishwasher unless we have company. I agree with more socializing. I had to leave bowling and now I feel so alone all week. ((Hugs)) on your lonely January. So sorry about all of them being sick. Hope they are better now.
