Follow Up and Abby's Meme

Thank you for everyone who took the time to respond to my last post, A Thought Provoking Question.  I learned a great deal from your different perspectives. If you have yet to leave your thoughts please do.  I really think we can learn a great deal from one another.  Also PK at New Beginnings had her own 'thought provoking question' that deserves its own comments.  Check it out, if you have not already.

So, onto Abby's meme from Finallly Finding Me


Early bird or night person?  I am by far an early bird.  Even with kids I find it hard to stay up too late.  If I had my choice I'd be in bed at like 8, but more likely it's 10 now that we have teenagers who think it's better to stay up all hours.

Vanilla, chocolate or strawberry?  All of the above!

Summer or winter?  I like winter better if I have to choose.  I really prefer fall or spring to be honest. Less extreme.

Hearty breakfast or just coffee?  No coffee.  NEVER, ever coffee.  Sorry, guys, just do not like the taste. Um, light breakfast, if I eat too heartily then I might as well go back to bed and sleep it off:)

Bright or muted colors?  I guess muted because I love soft greens and yellows best.

Pie or cake?  Must we choose?  I mean really here, it's dessert.  I'll have pumpkin pie and red velvet cake, please!  Throw in some ice cream while we're at it.  Or maybe a bit of lemon meringue or key lime pie.  Brownies, anyone. Hmmm, maybe pie is preferred, I listed more there....okay, pie.

Seaside vacation or fun in a big resort or city?  Okay, wow, this one is harder than Lilli's because I have to choose.  Neither.  I love a hike in the woods or mountains.  I burn easily, so I'm not sure the beach is the best place for me and I do not like crowds of people.  I am not following the rules of this meme well, sorry, Abby.


Dog or cat lover?  Both.  We have three boxers and two tortoise shell cats, so both.  I like chickens too, does that count?



Short or long hair?  So, mine is usually longish.  It's always been past my shoulders and I usually wear it in a ponytail.  My mom asked me once if I'd wear a ponytail when I was old and gray.  I said I'm planning on it, except I've decided mine will be white.  My grandma on my dad's side had beautiful white hair and that's what I'm striving for!

Leather or wood?  Um, leather.  But Hoss so prefers wood, so I'm more accustomed to that.

Baseball or football fan?  Baseball if I had to choose.

Spa day or a day shopping with a friend?  Definitely, shopping with a friend.   I love one on one time with one of my friends or one of my daughters.  Wow!  Answered three in a row without difficulty, do I get a surprise?  Maybe I can follow the rules a bit.

Live concert or movie?  Let's just say I do not like crowds or lots of noise.  So, I'm going with movie in bed with my man.

Wrap a gift with paper and bow or a gift bag?  I do both depending on what I have available at the time. Also, not very good at either.  My sister got the ability to wrap things beautifully gene.  Just be happy it's not a Walmart sack some days.  Sorry, back to not following the rules again.

Help build a snowman or stay inside and make hot chocolate?  I usually stay outside long enough to snap pictures of my kids and then go make hot chocolate and puppy chow.

Four seasons or California climate?   Four seasons all the way!

Driver or passenger?  Passenger with Hoss, almost always.  Drive a ton with the kids, so I guess I do driver more often.

Pajamas or a night gown?  How about a pair of sweats?  I like nightgowns in the summer and jammies in the colder months with a robe or hoodie sometimes as Hoss keeps the house at a temperature he enjoys.  Though thanks to some encouragement I am working on simply relying on Hoss to provide the heat, if you get my drift.

Bake a cake or go to your favorite bakery?  I typically make the cake, but we have done bakeries in a pinch.

Theater night...musical or drama?  I love a good musical.

Okay, Abby, that one was really harder then I thought.   Sorry I went a bit meme happy at the end.  Two thoughts.  Now, I'm hungry and want pie.  Secondly, I'm apparently not in a rule following mood, but this was fun!  Thanks, Abby!
