Happy Monday January 2, everybody-and welcome to this year’s first Monday QOTD. Posting a bit earlier than usual because I have a cold, which means I run the risk of falling asleep & neglecting to post the Qs.
Today’s Question:
Do you find yourself writing the wrong date (2016, instead of 2017) at start of a new calendar year ?
If so, does that last for a couple days, a couple weeks, a couple months ?
Have you bought or been given a 2017 calendar ?
Extra Credit:
Do you read any of those “end-of-year” best/most lists (pop culture, news, etc.), to see if there’s anything you missed out on (or want to revisit) ?
Bonus:
What do you use to heat up water for a hot drink: a coffee pot, a tea kettle, an electric kettle, a saucepan on stovetop, or other ?
Just for Fun:
Do you have a leather jacket ?
Have you ever tried on leather pants ?
Have you sat in a leather chair, whether home furnishings or car seat material/cover ?

Today’s Question:
Do you find yourself writing the wrong date (2016, instead of 2017) at start of a new calendar year ? Rarely, usually I have to ask what day it is since I'm retired and all days seem to be the same. Is it 2017 yet? If so, does that last for a couple days, a couple weeks, a couple months ?
Have you bought or been given a 2017 calendar ? I got 4 free ones from different businesses I deal with.
Extra Credit:
Do you read any of those “end-of-year” best/most lists (pop culture, news, etc.), to see if there’s anything you missed out on (or want to revisit) ? No, not interested, if I want to know something I'll look it up.
Bonus:

Have you ever tried on leather pants ? No but I once dated a girl who wore them along with stiletto high heels.
Have you sat in a leather chair, whether home furnishings or car seat material/cover ? Yes, don't like them, in the summer your butt sticks to them, in the winter you freeze your butt off in them.
