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.

I love memes!!! I have so much fun blog hopping, finding new blogs, getting to know about bloggers that I follow and meeting new blogging friends. So I thought this meme would be fun and am now partcipating. I found it via Vicki from Reading At The Beach. Link provided above if you want to join in on the fun !!

Meet Me on Monday!!
From Java’s Blog:
   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!
   Every Sunday I will post five get to know you questions that you can copy and paste into your own Monday post and we can all learn a little more about each and every one of us!!
   “Its a great way to to meet new friends and for others to get to know me better….one Monday at a time!!!”….as quoted by the Chacogirl!!
   I will make this SIMPLE and FUN!!!

Questions:
1. What is your favorite kind of potato chip?
          BBQ Soy Chips

2. Do you make your bed everyday?
Yes

3. How often do you go to the hair salon?
Every 6-8 weeks for hair Every 2 weeks for nails

4. What do you dip your French fries in?
