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 team-logo shirts that you wear for big games?
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?
Bonus Question:
What is the ring tone on your cell phone?
Do you have different ring tones pre-set for different callers?

Today’s Question(s):
What color are your plates and bowls and cups? I have a mishmash of colors but the actual set that I have is white with a rose floral pattern. Nothing fancy. I also have a few navy blue bowls. Cups, I have an odd assortment of mugs and glasses that I've collected throughout the years including a San Antonio glass that's shaped like a boot.
Do you have one set of plates for everyday use and a different set for fancy meals? Not really ... Although I do favor paper plates and plastic silverware as I hate to do dishes.
Do you have any hand-made bowls or cups? Not that I'm aware of ... All of my bowls and cups were either purchased or given to me. Your typical bachelorette collection
Extra Credit Question:
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? Football??? Isn't that the game where they shoot the ball through the hoop?
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? CD ... listen to music ... talking on the phone ... reading a good book .... napping
Bonus Question:
What is the ring tone on your cell phone? Right now, it's just a standard tone that came with my phone. I want to download the ringtone I had with my previous phone but got too lazy. It's the instrumental for the "Good Times" song by Chic. I've gotten lots of compliments on that tone.
Do you have different ring tones pre-set for different callers? Nope ... Don't feel the need for that.
Just for Fun:
When was the last time you ate pizza? Last night, actually.
What was on that pizza? It was just a standard pepperoni and cheese pizza. This was at a casual party/dinner for someone's birthday.
