Here are the Questions:
1. When would you consider planting flowers or vegetables at your residence? Every spring! Can't wait - garden is already all planned out - it will e plowed in early April and planted over the next few weeks. 2. What is more egregious; cheating on one's spouse or spending the family into being bankruptcy? I'd say that both are pretty bad, although cheating is the one unforgivable thing in my book. 3. In honor of Pi Day this week, what is your favorite kind of pie? Cherry is my fave! 4. Would would you give Wayne @ Touristic for his birthday today? I have no idea! Since he seems to be the intellectual type - maybe a book on a subject he is interested in?

And don't forget to add a 5th Question on your own blog so we can answer as we hop around! It's been a short weekend again with running back and forth to the hospital to see my grandson. I hope they let him come home soon. I have been extremely tired and I think it's from sitting around in a hospital room - and maybe driving a lot more than usual. Daughter doesn't seem to mind that much. She has her ipad and phone to keep her company. I have noticed this weekend that her phone never seems to stop "beeping" with text messages! This younger generation! I personally HATE texting and do it sparingly. So my question today is: What is wrong with having an actual conversation?

Monday Quiz About Me

Welcome to Monday Quiz About Me - hosted by Acting Balanced and Touristic. They post 5 questions on Sunday evening along with a linky for you to link up your post answers! 

Here are the Questions:

1. Which are you better at: Reading, Writing or Math?If I had to choose one I guess it would be writing, although I've never had a problem with any of them.

2. Tell us a good 'come back' story. Where you were down but were able to reverse fortunes and come out on top. I've been down a lot in my life. I was a newly divorced single mother when I lost my first job to "downsizing." For two years, I worked 5 part time jobs while I went to school. Don't know that I came out "on top" in the end, but things got much better.

3. Which would you rather do: dine or eat? Definitely eat.

4. What is one thing the someone close to you does that just annoys the heck out of you? That would be the Biz and he tends to be somewhat of a slob in certain areas of the house. I don't understand how you can add salt to a pot on the stove and the entire stovetop looks like there has been a snowstorm - or why food ALWAYS ends up on the floor, table, cabinet - or why he can get something out but never put it away - and I'm not even going to mention the bathroom issues!

And don't forget to add a 5th Question on your own blog so we can answer as we hop around!

Most of you probably know by now that I got a new grandson last week - a surprise 6 week early grandson. It's amazing how small 4 and a half pounds looks and feels! He's doing great but it scared me and everyone else half to death. I think I managed to stay pretty calm on the outside but I was sure shaking on the inside. How do you handle crisis situations - calm or crazy?

Yes, I have been working on some "deep cleaning" this weekend. I know it's not spring yet, but I'm ready.My answer - I'd love to have a big house and even though mine is small, I don't think I'd want a housekeeper - don't want anyone else seeing "my dirt." I'll do it myself.

Here are the Questions:

1. Do you tend to be more logically or emotionally driven in your decision-making? Definitely more logical. I've learned the hard way to not let emotions make decisions for me.

2. Do you take vitamin or other supplements?  Do you feel that they actually work? I actually just started to take vitamins - calcium that is. I think at my age the bones begin to shrink. Do they work - not sure but can't hurt.

3. Have you ever kissed someone and just knew they were not the right person or vise versa? Yes. I had a good friend and we actually tried to date. First kiss was just too weird - almost felt like I was trying to kiss my brother.

4. Why shouldn't the woman pay for a Valentine's Day date? I can't rationally think of any reason she shouldn't. But I don't think it's right the way men seem to want the women to take care of everything these days. It almost seems like the roles are reversing.
