Meet Me on Monday

NOTE: WHEN I REACH 100 GOOGLE CONNECT FOLLOWERS, I AM GOING TO HAVE A GIVEAWAY--Update:  I hit that magic number.  All comments through Thursday March 15th will be enter in a random drawing.  Some cool things could be coming your way.  Thank you all my friends.
Acting Balanced

1. What is on your bedside table? 
My bedside table in an old treadle Singer sewing machine.  On it are a picture of my mom as a child, a picture of my dad in his Canadian Army uniform, a vintage looking lamp and of course the TV remote control and telephone.  I also have a vintage doll and a potpourri jar.

2. Hardback, Paperback or E-Reader?

I have a few hardbacks, never buy them due to high cost, I have a lot of paperbacks which I donate to the Visiting Nurses after I read them, and I read a lot on Kindle.  I also read the cereal boxes, the pillow warning labels, etc.  In other words if it has words on it I read it.
3. What is your 'go to' drink of choice?
Hot coffee first thing in the morning, and then if it is a warm day like today, iced tea.

4. How do you like to spend your birthday?

I would love to go out to dinner with family, but since they live everywhere else, it is just like any other day.
5. Finish this sentence - I would never be caught dead in ...
A bikini. Unless of course, I wanted to clear the beach in  5 seconds flat.

  1. I thought about answering #5 with bikini but didn't want to put that picture in anybody's mind!

  2. I laughed at your comment about reading anything in print. I remember, as a kid, reading the backs of cereal boxes. Now I don't eat cereal. But, like you, if there's anything in print on the kitchen counter, I pick it up and read it. lol

    Thanks for the idea of the treadle sewing machine as a night stand. I have two of them out in the shop. One of them is coming in to be a night stand in the guest room! :-)

  3. I don't think I ever had bikini days...
    I read everything around me too, which has really helped at times when I've been bored to tears.

  5. I am definitely a follower of yours, otherwise, I'd be a new one so you could hit that magical number! Would you believe that I don't drink coffee? I can't stand the taste, but love the smell!

  11. I have to agree with you on #5! ha! I'd like to blame 2 pregnancies and my age, but truth be told, I never had the figure for a bikini (and frankly even if I had the right figure, I just prefer something more modest!). ;-)

  18. I read anything in print as well. I crave reading. I am a news junkie too but it can get too depressing at times if its just negative stuff.

    I love your blog background!
