Bathroom Invasion

Riley followed me into the bathroom last night and gave me these looks.
I don’t think she was happy with me for getting off the couch.

Sunday Stealing for 17 November 2024

Welcome to this week's Sunday Stealing!
When do I feel most authentically myself:

I feel most authentically myself when I am alone. Being alone means there is no one around to judge me and no one to frown at me.

What I'm thankful for today:

Waking up this morning

A memory I hope I never forget

The days my children were born.

Other ways I connect with long distant friends

Through social media, text messages and phone calls.  

How I reconnect with myself when I feel lost

I hug my dog and cry it out.  

What would be my signature drink if I owned a café

Mocha Frappuccino 

Something I’ve let go of, as I’ve grown older

My need to constantly be doing something.  

The things I’m most likely to lie about

How I am feeling, how I am doing and plans I have.  

What’s something I wish I had more time to learn:

How to speak spanish.

Social media trends that puzzle me:

Most of the trends on tik tok! LOL 

Local phrases and terms I use often

"Uff-da", "ope", and "You betcha".

If I could only wear only three colors, I’d pick these...

Blue, Black and Pink  

Favorite books, music, tv, movies, and media this month

I do not have any favorite books, music or movies this much.  I am enjoying watching a few new shows on TV.  My favorite media is Facebook.

Sunday Stealing for 10 November 2024

Welcome to this week's Sunday Stealing!
Hobbies I've learned from a friend:

My Aunt Alma taught me how to crocheting when I was a kid; and I still crochet to this day.  She also taught me how to knit a little bit but I no longer remember what she taught me.  

My physical activity preferences:

Sitting on the couch doing nothing! LOL Or playing outside with the dog.

Music I think is essential for everyone to hear:

Any music that moves your soul

Something I have to relearn every time I do it:

Changing oil in my vehicle. Thank goodness I have not needed to do that in many, many years....I take my Jeep to the dealership for oil changes.

When I start thinking about holiday season planning:

A month before the holiday

Quirks & preferences I have about writing letters:

I prefer to type letters because I have horrible handwriting.

If I had to limit my reading to only 3 genres, I’d pick...

Fiction, sci-fi and fantasy.  

When joining teams, would I rather lead or follow:

My preference is to follow but I don't mind leading now and then.

What’s my dream concert, and who would be performing

Aerosmith, Disturbed, Slipknot, Eminem and the Beastie Boys

The funniest, weirdest, silliest, animal/pet I’ve ever met

An adorable squirrel that likes to hang out in yard at my house....it likes to tease my dog! LOL

How has love changed for me over the years

Love has built me up and torn me down so many times that I have lost count.

A book, movie, or song that brings me a sense of peace

Let It Be by the Beatles
Names I like but wouldn’t suit me

I cannot think of any.

What’s a part of myself I’m still working to understand:

Death....I know I will die someday and I cannot come to tears with it.

Something I love about myself today:

I got out of bed early, even though it was my day off, and worked on a few projects.
