Sunday's Q & A

Hello, dear friends.  A funny thing happened to me on Friday.  I got home from my daily walk and all of a sudden I felt like I got hit with a ton of bricks.  

Meanwhile, the Mister had gone shopping and was busy working on the meal prep for our Saturday night dinner party. I had done all my chores which consisted of buying the flowers and setting the table the day before.

Let me backstep... when this whole Covid nightmare began, I thought that I was infected at least twice a week.  In the beginning, I would share that fact with the Mister who usually met my words with an eye-roll.  I soon learned to keep my self-diagnosis to myself.

We both received our vaccines, boosters, and flu shots and are diligent about wearing our masks.

So on Friday morning when I was feeling out-of-sorts, I just felt it was another false alarm.  When I walked into the kitchen, the Mister told me that he was not feeling well.  He kept having hot flashes.  I met his words with an empathetic nod. I then told him that I wasn't feeling well either.  He met my words with an eye-roll.

So we took the test.  

The Mister's came back negative and mine was positive.  

After months and months of eye rolls, I had a few choice words for the Mister. 

 

The Mister then made an appointment later that day for a test at a walk-in clinic.  It again came back negative.

I texted our dinner party guests and set up another date for dinner.  We both took it easy the rest of the day and thankfully, felt fine on Saturday.  I am doing my 5-day quarantine and will test myself on the fifth day.  The Mister is testing himself every morning and so far he is negative.

I thank God that I was one of the lucky ones and had few symptoms.  I have friends that weren't as lucky. 

Today, Bev over at Sunday Stealing asks the questions and unassuming bloggers, such as myself, answer them.

1. January usually has ample amounts of snowfall in parts of the world. Did you ever make snow cream as a kid?

  Am I the only one here who has never heard of snow cream?

I did some research and you can find the recipe can be found here.

From the sound of it, I think I would like it.

2. January is one of the months with 31 days. 

What are you going to do with that extra day?

I will try my level best at being waited on by my boy toy of a husband and recover.

3. In medieval times, superstition dictated that the 1st day of January was significant for prosperity, or lack of it, in a person's life. Farmers put a flat cake on the horns of a cow, and they danced and sang songs around the cow until the cake was thrown to the ground. If it fell in front of the cow that meant good luck; it if fell behind the cow that meant bad luck for the rest of the year.

Do you have strange New Year customs in your household?

We don't; but I must admit that I am inspired by that tradition.  

It would be nice to surprise the Mister.

I've got the singing and dancing part down.

Is it possible to rent a cow?

4. On January 14, 1986 motorists were required for the first time to wear seat belts? Do you always buckle up? Why or why not?

I always buckle up.

All first-time passengers are required to do so, as well.

Very few passengers ever ask me to drive again.

5.. Have you ever blabbermouthed something to a significant other that in hindsight you really should have kept to yourself?

I haven't had any car accidents over the years, however, parking is not my forte.   The first time that I hit a pole in a garage I called the Mister at work and he did not take it well.

The next 40 mishaps I kept to myself.  When he would find a scratch or dent and question me about it, I would give him a look of total surprise and tell him that someone must have hit me in the parking lot.

The only one that I couldn't keep to myself was when I ran into the back of my daughter's car in our driveway.

Again, he did not take it well.

6. Have you ever written anything on your blog that you wish you could take back?

If I wanted to take something back, I would have deleted the post.  And I have never done that.

I have, however, taken off photos of family members that they felt were unbecoming.   

I have to keep my subjects happy.

7. Are you the blabber or the blabbee? Tell us your most embarrassing blabbermouth moment.

Years ago, I accidentally blew the surprise for a friend's birthday party.  I didn't feel so bad because she told me that her husband let the cat out of the bag the day before.

8. Who is the biggest blabbermouth tattletale in your household?

When my #2 was about 4 years old, she used to tell all the neighbors our family secrets.

She never even needed a prompt.

One lady at Bunco asked me if I had made up with my husband yet.

Another one asked me how much my speeding ticket was.

And she wonders why her sister got all the toys at Christmas, and she only got a glue stick. 

9. You are the Blog Paparazzi! Which blogger's real photograph are you most interested in getting?

Duchess Goldblatt.

Here's her story.

10. If you could hire the loudest and most skilled blabbermouth in the universe to do your talking for you and advertise it well, what message would you like to spread to humanity?

My girl Joanie!

11. Are you always on time or just a tad late?

12. Is there someone in your life that irritates you regularly about not being on time?

I talked about this a week ago.

The one thing that our family never squabbled about is being on time. 

We're not perfect.

They We have plenty of other issues. 

13. Can you think of a time when you were late for something and it was REALLY a big deal?

No, but I can tell you about a key player who was 45 minutes late to his wedding rehearsal at the church.

Not that I hold a grudge or anything.

He hasn't been late for anything since.

14. If you were on your way to work and had five minutes to get there, would you stop in the road to rescue a crossing turtle?

15. Have you ever had to actually punch a time clock? 

I punched a timeclock the Summer that my parents got me a job at a factory packing Bic Bananas.

That season was known as:  The Summer Katie Learned the Value of a College Education.

Until next time...
