Welcome to Table Talk Tuesday (1 of 2)

Welcome to the first Table Talk Tuesday meme, hosted by yours truly.

I have been having so much fun with the recent memes I have found whereas you get to know a little bit more about the blogger behind the screen. I have met so many nice, funny, kind, caring people in the past 8 months and have said on many occasions, how I wish we lived closer and could meet for coffee, lunch, and yes..even dessert. That is the premise of this hop.

Grab one of the buttons (or grab all 3 so you can change it up every week). Post 3 tidbits, questions and/or comments on your blog and add your link here.. Then you are on your way to meeting new and old bloggers for coffee.

Your 3 tidbits can be, for examples, tell us something interesting about you that we don’t know, ask a question of your gal/fellow blogger that you would like to know, share something that may have been exciting that happened to you this week, or something you are looking forward to, or share a how-to, or maybe ask about a how-to, or talk about something that annoys you, your opinion about a certain issue, a comment about something that was in the news this week and your opinion, or maybe ask advice, etc., etc., the list is endless. You get the idea. Just as if you were meeting a friend over coffee. And the conversation begins.

After you post your 3 conversation tidbits, come back here and link up, start visiting other blogs, answer their questions or respond to their comments. Then meet another blogger for coffee at their place, maybe have another piece of pastry while talking (and just think…this has 0 calories!!!)

Hope you join in, tell your friends, get to know more about old friends, meet new friends (possibly even becoming a new follower of their blog…if you do…leave that in your responses so that they know and hopefully will follow you back), get to know more about old friends, meet new friends and more importantly…..HAVE FUN !!! So lets grab a table, sit down, order a coffee and start gabbing !!!!

My 3 Tidbits:

1. How do you take your coffee?

2. Are you artistic, can you draw/paint? I’m not but have always wished I had that talent.

3. I am not a big tv watcher, but one night I was surfing the programs and found a show, I think, it is called Hoarders…have you seen it? I was amazed and found it so interesting as to the conditions these people live in, their thought process, how could they live like that. I try my best to have my house in order, neat, etc, but sometimes things get a little messy but after watching that show, I won’t be complaining about my house again.

After adding your link, don’t forget to leave your comments. Also check out the 2 current giveaways for this week !!!!

TUESDAY

Hosted by Miz B at Should Be Reading

Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

*Grab your current read
*Open to a random page
*Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
*BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
*Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

Joe won’t pick up, she said, His phone’s out. Please. For a second, the wind lapsed, and quieted. I’m worried, she said, with perfect clarity.

I’m Hosting A Blog Hop Meme!!!

Hi Everyone!!!!

As you all know, I love memes, especially blog hop memes. And in the past couple of weeks I have become addicted to memes that “get to know” other bloggers, both old and new friends. I have mentioned to quite a few bloggers that I have met over the past 8 months, how I wish we could meet, have a cup of coffee, maybe even a piece of decadent dessert. So it got me to thinking………..

I am in the process of creating Table Talk Tuesday !! It will be a blog hop and this is the premise. You post 3 tidbits on your blog, then sign up with McLinky here and start hopping as if you were meeting bloggy friends for coffee. Every Tuesday you can list any 3 things you want. It could be something we don’t know about you yet, or maybe you would like to ask someone a question that you would like to know about your gal/fellow blogger, or it could be exciting news you want to talk about that has happened this week, or exciting news that you are looking forward to in the future, or maybe share a how-to or ask about a how-to. The list is endless!!! Then you meet others for coffee at their blog, answer their questions and/or respond to their comments. Then on to the next blogger’s place, another cup of coffee, another piece of yummy dessert (and just think…0 calories)

I have been working on 3 buttons to choose from (but as you know, not being computer savvy, it has taken me quite a few hours. Still trying to get it all set up. So stop by tomorrow and see if the coffee shop is opened, but in the meantime, start thinking about what 3 issues you will be talking about when you meet the blogger behind the computer screen.

Hope you have the coffee on and join us. I apologize in advance if there are kinks you may encounter and that still need to be worked out but will try to figure them all out asap.

MONDAY

Hosted by Miz B at Should Be Reading

Today’s Question:
How often do you actually put into practice what you learn from reading nonfiction books (if you read nonfiction, that is)?

My Answer:
Today’s question is an easy one, yet a boring one when it comes to me. The answer is No. I don’t read self-help books. I did read one many years ago, can’t even remember the title so I guess I didn’t “put it into practice” lol.

What about you. If you want to join in the fun, link provided above.

WooHoo!!! I just love this meme, but the past 2 weeks, couldn’t post because my mailbox was empty. Well….there were bills….but none of those envelopes that you know there is a book inside, but which one? Here are the books that came into my house this week:
