1. When was the last time you laughed until you cried?
I really don't remember...(not a lot to laugh at lately) I do remember the last time the hubby and I laughed in an inappropriate moment.It was when we were visiting a church and the music was so bad, it was comical. We kinda grabbed each other to keep from laughing out loud.
2. If you found $10 today, what would you do with it?
I think I would add the $10 to my stash from when I babysat last spring. I still haven't spent that money on anything "special" for myself. It seems kind of hard to buy something when I'm busy sorting through things and throwing things away after our move. (On a side note... I've noticed that the up-to-date-term for "babysitting" seems to be "nanny-ing". Somehow that must sound more sheik. Anyone else noticed that?) (I know that has nothing to do with finding $10, but thought I'd throw in something bonus...) (You're welcome.)
3. Do you volunteer anywhere?
I volunteer to empty the dishwasher every day and cook dinner. And get out of bed in the morning and get dressed. Does that count? We just moved to this really small town less than two months ago and I know nothing about it.
4. What is your favorite summertime veggie or fruit, and how do you eat it?
I really like cucumbers. We used to live near some friends who had a terrific garden and she planted just the kind of cucumbers I like. I love to slice them and sprinkle seasoned salt or just plain salt on the slices. Saturday I even sliced them with my crinkle slicer thingy. Sooo fancy! :)
5. Is your social sphere (circle of friends) small, medium or large?
Currently, I would say it was very small. Remember the whole thing with moving to a much smaller town? We haven't found a church to worship in yet and don't really know anyone. My husband knows people at work and we have met the neighbors. But no one we feel like we can call up to go out to dinner with or anything. Moving stinks. Especially moving to the middle of nothing. On the other hand, we know people all over the country/world. But a little hard to keep too close of a relationship with people we don't see very often.
6. When was the last time you attended a family or school reunion? How did that go?
I did not go to my 30th high school reunion last year. I just don't feel a connection with many of them anymore. I don't regret that.
A couple of years ago, my hubby's side of the family had a reunion over Thanksgiving. Some of the family lives and works at a Bible camp, so we were able to all stay right there. I think there was 75 of us. It was great fun. I love that part of the family. They are so fun. Hubby has some wonderful cousins that I just adore. And I got to meet a cousin I never had. (There is one more cousin I've never met. She lives in South America and doesn't come to the US much. So I may just have to wait until heaven to meet her.)
7. When you're feeling blue, what is the best way someone can cheer you up?
To have a friend ask me out to lunch would be amazing. Or even the hubby to take me out to dinner/movie or some kind of an outing would be wonderful. My sweet newly-married daughter asked me to bring her some boxes for moving and to hang out with her a couple of days ago. It was a great day.
8. Have you taken a vacation this summer?
Yes! The hubby and I just got back from celebrating our 26th anniversary on an Alaskan Cruise! It was wonderful and oh! so! pretty!
9. What is the most unnecessary item you carry with you all the time?
A small travel sewing kit. I don't know if I've ever used it.
10. What is the best summer flick you have seen so far?
Toy Story 3. Truth be told, it's the only movie I've seen this summer. Now that is sad. It was a really good movie, though.
11. Describe a perfect summer day.
June 21. Not too hot, but still warm. :) (Have you seen that Sandra Bullock movie? Miss Congeniality?) June 21 is also the day we got engaged. Many, many years ago.
12. Please a share a favorite photo from the summer so far!
Here are two photos! A bonus!
