Ponderings #7

Am I the only person on Earth who...


Never read the Harry Potter books?

Never read any Jane Austen?

Never watched a James Bond film all the way through?

Refuses to set up a Facebook page?


Please, tell me I'm not alone!

Ponderings #6

Tell me your choices. Mine are in bold green type.


1. Coffee or tea ? (I drank coffee daily for years, but much prefer hot tea now.)

2. Coca Cola or Pepsi ? (I rarely drink sodas, but always liked Coke best. If it has to be diet, make it a Dr. Pepper.)

3. Digital or Analog clocks and watches ? (If I see a time in digital format, I have to picture a regular clock face in my mind.)

4. Morning person or Night Owl ? (This really depends on what's going on in my life. I can be either.)

5. Fir trees (evergreens) or Deciduous trees ? (I love the colors of autumn.)

Ponderings #5

I would swear I've already had this conversation somewhere online, perhaps even on my own blog, but I can't find it.  So, I'm making it one of my "ponderings". 

If you could have a superpower, any superpower, what would it be? 

My first thought, as one who's struggled with my weight for years, is to be able to eat anything I want without gaining inches or pounds.  However, that's not really a superpower in the true sense of the word.  Therefore, the superpower I'd most want to have is:

Teleporting

Wouldn't it be great to blink your eyes and be in another place?!  Just think of the potential.  I could visit friends and family at the drop of a hat and still be home in time to cook supper.  I could travel the world.  I wouldn't even have to take luggage since I could teleport home to shower and change clothes.

Give it some thought, or maybe this is something for which you already have an answer.  If you could have any superpower, what would it be? 

Ponderings #4

My picks are in green. Tell me yours in the comments.


1. Thick pizza crust or thin? (I do like the ocassional pan crust)

2. Milk chocolate or dark chocolate? (If I'm trying to be healthy I pick dark)

3. PC or Mac? (Though I do have an iPod and iPhone, both Apple products, my laptop is a PC)

4. Apples or Oranges? (Only if we're talking raw fruit. I prefer Orange flavoring for candy)

5. Fiction or Non-Fiction? (I read for escape and find fiction works best for me)

Ponderings #3

First, let me state something for the record. I do not believe in reincarnation.

But......if I did, I think I know what I might have been in a former life:

A monk in a scriptorium!

I came to this conclusion while working the crossword puzzle one morning. I spent hours in college hunched over a drafting table with pencil in hand (the same pencil that I still use to work the crossword each day) printing the alphabet. I still get a sense of satisfaction in filling the puzzle grid with neatly printed letters.

Give it some thought. Any ideas what you might have been?

Ponderings #2

If you could only have one condiment for the rest of your life, which one would it be?

1. Mustard

2. Mayonnaise

3. Ketchup (Catsup)

4. Salsa

5. Other (please elaborate!)

Without a doubt, it would be mustard for me. Just look at all the varieties! Spicy brown mustard, honey mustard, whole seed mustard, Dijon mustard and my favorite - plain old yellow mustard. I might miss ketchup just a little, but mustard wins hands down.

What about you?

Ponderings

Nothing earth-shattering, just something to think about.

Tell me your preferences in the comments. My picks are in green.


1. Star Trek or Star Wars?

2. Summer or Winter?

3. Cats or Dogs?

4. Sweet or Savory?

5. The Mountains or The Beach?

6. Lyrics or Music?

7. Elvis or The Beatles or The Stones?*


*My daughter and I disagreed on which two to use, so I had to include an extra.
