Good morning, all, and welcome to Sunday! It’s a chilly day, and it finally feels a little more like winter today, after a stretch of unseasonably warm temperatures that melted most of our snow. It has been hard to believe that it’s still only January, in fact.
But today feels like winter again, and I’m glad to have a sweater and a cup of hot chocolate beside me as I ask you all:
Today’s Question(s):
What color are your plates and bowls and cups?
Do you have one set of plates for everyday use and a different set for fancy meals?
Do you have any hand-made bowls or cups?
For bowls I have one glass, one white, and one ceramic. Plates - one ceramic and one black, zero cups.
I always eat alone.

If you are not a football fan, is there anything that you prefer to do while everyone else is glued to the TV set watching the game?
Besides City Data? Fool around on the Net or something else. Nothing set.
I'm not a football fan. The game is way too violent for my taste.

Do you have different ring tones pre-set for different callers?
No to the latter. Generic cell phone ring would best describe the tone.

What was on that pizza?
It's been a while, I really do not remember. I do not have pizza often but I do like it. I tried to order one last week but the place I looked up online does not come to my area.
My favorite toppings are (in order) mushroom, onion, pepperoni, garlic. I never stray from that. I may have it once every other month if that.
any color. I used to prefer a matched set but now I like the variety.
Do you have one set of plates for everyday use and a different set for fancy meals?
nope. fancy meals are served in restaurants.
Do you have any hand-made bowls or cups?
yep-all my bowls.
According to some of my family members, this is football playoff season. Are you cheering on any team in particular in this year’s playoffs?
let's see-is football the one they hit a ball so they can run around in a circle? Or the one where they wear tight pants, baggy tops and try to get the ball between 2 posts before they get knocked to the ground and stomped?
What is the ring tone on your cell phone?
Do you have different ring tones pre-set for different callers?
no cell phone ergo no callers. I hate phones. I think it's a side effect of the job.
When was the last time you ate pizza?
What was on that pizza?
couple of weeks ago. Just cheese. (That's my idea of a fancy meal!)
What color are your plates and bowls and cups? Some white with black design, some white with purple grapes and green leaves. A variety of bowls. I don't like cups that match plates and I like drinking coffee from bone china so I visit antique/consignment stores looking for those.
Do you have one set of plates for everyday use and a different set for fancy meals? No
Do you have any hand-made bowls or cups? No
