Saturday Six - Episode 132

Oh yeah...it's Saturday, isn't it? Sorry for keeping you all waiting. I had a busy day of running errands and getting out and exploring the city a bit. And as I was sitting here at the computer having a very late dinner, it occurred to me that it was time -- past time, actually -- to post the questions!

But first, Nichole of "My Two Cents" was first to play last week! Congratulations, Nicole!

Here are this week's "Saturday Six" questions. Either answer the questions in a comment here, or put the answers in an entry on your journal...but either way, leave a link to your journal so that everyone else can visit! To be counted as "first to play," you must be the first player to either answer the questions in a comment or to provide a complete link to the specific entry in your journal in which you answer the questions. A link to your journal in general cannot count. Enjoy!

1. Who is the last person who you spoke to by telephone?  My wonderful DH, David.

2. Who is the last person you spoke to online?  My favorite sister, Kathryn.

3. Which of the two have you seen more in person?  David.

4. Take the quiz: How is your self-esteem?

You Have Low Self Esteem 16% of the Time

Which can be translated to mean, you have high self-esteem and a healthy sense of self worth. You believe in yourself, and you know how to be the real you. You love yourself, imperfections and all.

5. What is the longest period of time you have gone without internet service since you became a "regular user?"  OMG, like a whole week!

6. How much did the lack of internet availability bother you?  I was anxious and irritable.

Sunday Seven - Episode 58

I'm posting this one a few hours early because I likely won't have internet access tomorrow. In any case, please be patient for comments to actually be posted. As soon as I can get back to a computer, I'll post responses.

While packing up the pantry, I came across a fair number of cans of Campbell's Soup. It's amazing how little it can take to inspire a question, isn't it!

Last week's "first to play" required a bit of sorting. To be considered "first to play," you must be the first one to post the link to the specific entry in the blog where you posted your answers. So it would appear that Jude, of "My Way," who was actually the third person to post a comment was technically "first to play" last week because she was the first one to leave the whole URL for the specific post. That makes Jude first for the second week in a row! Congratulations!

On to this week's question!

THIS WEEK'S QUESTION:
Name your top seven favorite flavors of soup.

Either answer the question in a comment or answer it in your journal and include the link in a comment. (To be considered "first to play," a link must be to the specific entry in which you answered the question.)

 

1.        Chicken Tortilla Soup

2.        Hot & Sour Soup

3.        Gumbo (is that a soup?)

4.        Chicken Corn Chowder

5.        Potato

6.        Broccoli Cheese

7.        Chicken Noodle Soup (homemade)

 

Saturday Six - Episode 130

I made it back to South Carolina, but I don't have internet access at home just yet, so I'm posting this (and Sunday's a little early) from my parents' house while I have the chance. I'll get back to regular posting as soon as possible...which will likely mean as soon as Bellsouth sends that modem!)

Please be patient for comments to actually be posted. As soon as I can get back to a computer, I'll post responses.

Before this week's questions, De of "De's" Thoughts" was first to play last week! Congratulations, De!  Oh wow!  How did that happen again?! ;)

Here are this week's "Saturday Six" questions.

A link to your journal in general cannot count. Enjoy!

1. You move to a new city: what is the first thing you're most likely to check out in your immediate surroundings: restaurants, grocery stores, shopping malls, movie theaters or historic sites?  Grocery stores (24hr Wal-Mart preferrably) and resturants.  A person’s gotta eat!

2. Consider the local television stations in your area: do you generally stay more with one station for entertainment and local news, or do you tend to rely on one station for local news and others for entertainment?  Depends, but mostly one station for news and then hopping around for entertainment.

3. Is there a set time of day or night that you blog, or do you just post whenever the spirit moves you?  Mostly during the wee night hours as I’m a night-shifter.

4. How often do you write a blog entry, then save it as a "draft" rather than publishing it immediately to think it over before actually posting it?  If I’m taking the time to write it, I go ahead and publish it right away.

5. Which makes a better dessert after a good meal: ice cream, pie, or cake?  Can I have all three?

6. What is your favorite flavor of the item you selected in question #5?  I’m female…chocolate, of course! ;)

I'm so sorry........................

I'm so sorry........................ :

Everybody say a prayer for Betty, please.  I don't know what is going on but I know she needs our love and support.

We love you Betty!

 

The Sunday Seven - Episode 57

Someone joked that I'd be able to be a "Gamecock" again now that I was moving back to South Carolina. I responded that I never stopped being a Gamecock. But that remark suggests the perfect topic for this week.

But first, Jude, of "My Way" was first to play last week! Congratulations, Jude!

On to this week's question!

THIS WEEK'S QUESTION:
Name your favorite sports teams, and for the less sports-educated, be sure to indicate the sport with which they'reassociated.

Either answer the question in a comment or answer it in your journal and include the link in a comment. (To be considered "first to play," a link must be to the specific entry in which you answered the question.)

 

1.   New England Patriots (NFL)

2.   Greenbay Packers (NFL

3.   Dallas Cowboys (NFL)

4.   Longhorns (UT, College Football)

Hannah's Home!

Well that took a long time.  It's been 7weeks since my baby left for OK to visit with her Dad.  I've been antsy all week.  Yes, well not so antsy that I didn't over sleep today and was late picking her up, lol.  I just kept hitting my snooze until I finally woke up enough about an hour later and went "oh shoot" (or something like that) and jumped in the shower.  Hannah's plane was supposed to get to Phoenix at 2:15pm, but she called me at 1:50pm and said "We are off the plane!"  Oh great.  I was in the car, but I hadn't even made it to the highway yet (which is a 4 1/2mile drive from our house).  So I'm like "Get your Dad to buy you a Starbucks (she bought) and get your luggage.  I'll be there as fast as I can."  Lucky for me the airport is only about 20-25miles from our house, and it did end up being easier for me since all I had to do was pull up at the curb.  Besides, Tom (Hannah's Dad) had 3 1/2 hours to kill before his flight back to OKC.  So I was really doing him a favor by giving him something extra to do, right? :)

 

I decided last night that I wanted to do some rearranging in Hannah's room.  Not that I didn't have 7weeks to do it, mind you, but I have decided that if the little toot leaves her room in a horrendous mess, then by golly she should come home to that.  But I decided I wanted it rearranged so in order to do that I had to do a little bit of cleaning, okay a lot of cleaning.  At any rate David had to practically reput Hannah's loft bed back together because it was put up so loose it was unstable.    But we accomplished what I had set out on doing and more and Hannah was very pleased when she got home.

 

Elizabeth called me while I was driving to the airport and gave me the all clear on her coming out here in a few weeks for her fall break, so when I got home I bought her a ticket.  Yea!

 

October is going to be a very busy month, but a very happy one!!
