Tuesday Memes

TUESDAY
Photobucket
Today will be the start of the new format, whereas all daily memes will be contained in one posting.  Since I have so much fun and enjoy participating in memes, I tend to go overboard on some days, so on Sunday, I asked you, the fabulous and fantastic followers, how you would rather have my memes posted and it was unanimous.  In one posting.  If for some reason, you change your mind, please feel free to let me know.  I can be flexible lol.  Drum roll please…..roll out the red carpet…..here we go lol.

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of 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!

Jeff exhaled, shoving his hands in his pockets and finally turning toward her. “No. It’s…I mean, you were going to tell me eventually, right?”

Today’s question (#6)
This week’s question:

Where do you love to read? Note: I don’t mean where do you actually do most of your reading, because that might be the carpool line, the work cafeteria, or even the bathroom (if you have to escape from a few small children in order to read a chapter of your book). I mean, what are a few of the places where you LOVE to read?

  I have answered this question on many different occasions and many different memes but am going to add a few more locations other than my daily reading sites.
  Every day reading depends on the time of year.  I am usually in my favorite recliner, with afghan when it’s cold out.  During the summer either by or sitting on a “chair” float in the pool. 
  Now for all the other occasions.  While on vacation, which our favorites are Aruba or a cruise.  When on a plane, helps take my mind off flying and the time we are in the air, since I am a very nervous flyer.  If hubby and I are driving to a destination that takes approx 1 hour or more, I will read in the car, in between conversations. And now that I have the thought of these places in my mind, I think hubby and I will be having a discussion tonight at supper, that we are overdue.

Musing Mondays (1 of 3)

MONDAY

Happy Monday all!  How was your Halloween?  Yesterday my hubby went out and bought the candy for last night (I still am not allowed to drive).  I told him approximately what to get, and being a man….did he listen…….NO!!  He came home with enough candy for the next 4 years.  I laughed all night because…..are you ready for this……we had about 6 little goblins that rang our doorbell  all night lol.  So this morning, I sent him off to work with a wicker basket and 1/3 of the candy and told him to put it on his desk.  My plan was not only to get rid of all this candy, but every time he looks at it,  he will be reminded that he should have listened to me lol.
Yesterday I asked about how I should post my memes.  It was unanimous, to put all memes as one post instead of having each meme having it’s own posting.  Since today’s memes had already been drafted and ready to go, in individual form, I didn’t want to redo them.  I will be trying out the new format after today.

Today’s Question:
Do you have any special reading that you do as it gets closer to Christmas? If so, tell us about it! And, if not, tell us why not! ;)     
My Answer:
As an adult…no.  When my boys were small, I did read them Christmas stories.  I never even thought about reading a book because of a holiday, I just read my favorite genres year round.

Meet Me On Monday (3 of 3)

Hosted by Java from Never Growing Old
From Java’s site:
  Blogging is a funny thing…we tell our most intimate thoughts for all to read and yet most of the time I find myself sitting and wondering, “who is this person!?” I know them…but yet I don’t know them! I want to know who the person is behind all those words so I thought of a great way for all of us to “meet” each other!

Questions:

1. Have you ever been on a cruise?
Royal Caribbean Explorer of the Seas.
Yes!!  Is someone planning one? Is this an invitation?!!  I’ll be packed in an hour!! 
We have been on 2 Royal Caribbean cruises and had a blast!! First time went with 14 couples.  Second time, even better!  As part of a graduation present, we took our 2 sons, they had never been, so I got to see it through their eyes.  They both said that a cruise was the only way to go on vacation, and one of them went again, just a couple of months ago.  A good friend of mine, Julie, is leaving on one next week…hoping she has a fantastic and fun time!!

2. What is your favorite way to eat eggs?

Egg salad sandwich, scrambled, eggs over medium fried egg sandwich, deviled eggs…..think you get the point….I like eggs!!!

3. What is your favorite reading material?

4. Name all the pets that you have ever had?
Before getting married, our family had 2 toy poodles, Fluffy and Toby
When we got married, we had a Doberman named Duke.  And when the boys were small, Santa brought them a Bichon named Raffee (named after one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for those that remember)
And until just recently, we lived with our son’s dog for 5 years.  A weimaraner named Bronx (son is a big Yankee’s fan, but I called him the demon dog.  We had a mutual dislike of each other lol.  He had separation anxiety, so whenever my son left the house, he would try to find something to destroy.  I was sad when my son bought his own house and moved out but I was delighted that the dog was leaving too!!!
5. Were you ever a girl/boy scout?
Photobucket
Yes….for a very short time.  Long enough to do the cookie sales, which I thought that was all we would do lol.

Mailbox Monday (2 of 3)

Photobucket  
November is being hosted by Julie from Knitting and Sundries.  Thank you Julie!!!

Mailbox Monday was created by Marcia of The Printed Page and is now on tour.
I want to thank Avis from She Reads and Reads for being a wonderful host during the month of October. 
According to Marcia, “Mailbox Monday is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week. Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists.”
My postal carrier was quite busy this week.  I just don’t understand why she isn’t excited delivering my mail like the way I am when I see she has goodies for me lol.
