A Return to Sunday Stealing

 






A person I like and why I like them
I like lots of people!
But I'll say long-time friend, Debbie.
In spite of mobility challenges and chronic pain, she's the most up-beat person I've ever known. The funniest, too.


 
A famous person I've been compared to
Back in the day, a few people said I reminded them of Jamie Lee Curtis.




Best thing that happened to me this week
That Tom and I -- and those we love -- remain healthy.



Weird things I do when I'm alone
Recently I asked Alexa to play T.G. Sheppard .... while I two-stepped across the room with a ghost.




How I'd spend $10,000
No contest!
Only yesterday I was seriously studying Oceania Cruises offerings.  Love how they bill themselves as a "cruise line for grown-ups" with a minimal passenger limit.
Aw, who am I kidding?  They're focused on fine food.  Ha!



My last night out in detail
That's been so long, I can't remember.



Something that makes me sad when I think about it
My dad not living long enough to experience the internet.  How well I remember when, on his day off he'd go to the Public Library and sit, perusing Big City newspapers' travel sections.



Something I'm currently worrying about
The civil unrest and fury exhibited all across our land.



Something to do without realizing
Tom says I'm all the time picking at the sides and back of my thumbs with my middle fingers.



A drunken story
Ugh. To celebrate the end of tax season, the firm's partners invited all employees and our significant others at a complimentary Cocoa Beach get-away.  My boss, Jo Anne began cranking up the margarita blender mid-morning.  There was wine at dinner, followed by shots.  Lots of shots.  Finally having retired to our hotel rooms Tom and JoAnne continued partying on the beach ... while I did the walk run of shame to the lavatory.  



Something I regret
Let's not go there.



5 things within touching distance
My cell phone, sippy tumbler (lemonade), printer, stapler, mouse




Something I've lied about
Responding, "Just fine, thanks!"



Lyrics that apply to my current mood
"We gotta get out of this place ..."

Yep, cabin fever's got a hold of me.  I want to GO somewhere. Anywhere!



My longest relationship
The one Tom and I are in  now.

Thanks for sharing part of your Sunday with me!
Have a great day ... stay safe!

Hugs,
Myra

  1. I love Jamie Lee and you do look like her, a little. when i got to the song, i got up and have been dancing through it 3 times. now i am back to comment. oh my word i love that song and had forgotten it. it is perfect to add to my excercise list on youtube. plus they have ladies showing excercise steps here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykLG2hADp5k
    enough about that. got stuck on last night out. more than 15 years ago and that was at sunday school parites. we dont go out at night, never have.
    if i had 10,000 i would buy a used Kia Soul.
    You can always take your pups to Home Depot. that is an outing for us. ha ha. love you and all your answers. i fiddle with my fingers all day every day, even in bed. constant fiddling, but not with the thumb, the 3 middle fingers both hands.

    1. Thank you so much for this link. Who'd have thought?! I really should think of upgrading my '05 Camry .....

  2. Yes ... good health for us and our loved ones. Great choice.

    With $10,000 you could visit the UK. Have you ever been?

    Wishing you and yours a wonderful Sunday. God bless always.

    1. Yes, back in 1957 our family did a Caravan tour. I've few memories, but recall being terrified about the young princes' beheading in the Tower of London.

  4. I like the lyrics for your current mood, it probably applies to all of us. It's just been crazy and from the looks of it things are only going to get worse through the fall *sigh* I would pick a trip that focuses on food too! :)

    1. Yep. But with so much to be thankful for, I'm a little disappointed in myself, rattling at the bars. Food is a great comforter!

  5. Its always a wonderful thing to hear that you and your loved ones are doing well. Something I'm really thankful for too. Cabin flever has a lot of us in its grips and I'm really needing a get away soon. We really took all the things we used to do for granted. But I suppose an excursion to the grocery store is going to be as good as it gets. Take care and hang in there !

    1. So true about having taken our freedoms for granted. I hope once this season is behind us, I won't make that same mistake.

    1. Ah, but many years and lots of pounds have flowed under that bridge. :)

  8. I am with you worrying about our country and all that is going on in it. Trusting in God and doing lots of praying. A cruise would be fun though imagine all the new rules that would come with it! Yep I can see a resemblance between you and Jamie Lee Curtis! I have several drunken stories that bring me embarrassment when I remember them. Free flowing alcohol is never a good thing for me lol.

    1. Ya on the rules and regulations. Even with all the precautions in place, I'm not ready to cruise.... which is probably a good thing, both for our bank account and my waistline.

  9. Just a quick HI, as I have been missing in blog land.

  13. How many is "minimal" passengers on Oceania? We have taken severla Viking cruises. The river cruises (which I preferred) were less than 200 and really perfect for me. The one ocean cruise (Mediterranean) was ~1,000 people and too big for me.

    1. I think 600-some ... a far cry from these mega things they call ships. Actually the Viking river cruises sound better; I'm going to investi-Google.

  14. Just fine... great answer. I guess we all do that, don't we. Fun questions and funner answers! Have a good week, Myra. Love ya!

    1. Ya, it's become such a habit to ask. I don't think anyone expects an honest answer ... or wants one. LOL.

  15. I really did enjoy your answers to these questions. Got to know you better.
    So you would like to go on a cruise. I would like to travel but not necessarily on a cruise.
    I am worried about civil unrest and the country.
    I just pray and pray and pray.
    Love, sandie

    1. How about train travel? Wouldn't that be a fun venue for a bloggers' conference?

  16. Thoroughly enjoyed all your answers.

    Drunken stories? I could easily write a book about mine. I'd like to have a dollar for every time I woke up with a stranger in an unfamiliar bed....(I probably shouldn't have revealed that).

    "Just fine, thanks."
    Wow, I can really relate to that one.
    I could gleefully strangle the next person who asks how I am.....

    1. Oh please, go ahead. And tell us what happens next. I'd love to see the expression on his/her face ... and how fast they ran away!

  17. Jamie Lee Curtis is wonderful! Apparently a lot of people pick at their fingers. I know I do.

  18. I love that Animals song. Good one. There are times I feel just like that too. I want to go somewhere, and hubby just doesn't seem to understand. He doesn't like to fight traffic, etc., and so we stay at home in the country, which is lovely...but I'd love to go "north" a little ways and enjoy some fall weather/sights! Enjoyed your answers.

    1. Exactly! There's lots of beauty to be discovered around northern Alabama and Georgia in just a few weeks time. Cross fingers!

  19. I can see the resemblance, striking!
    I pick at my fingers, too.
    I enjoyed the song. But, I'm curious about how you embeded a YouTube? I can't do it anymore.

    1. You know that menu bar across the top of the edit post screen? It's the tiny clipboard just to the left of the smiley face. When you click, that opens a drop-down box with an option for YouTube. Hope this helps!

  20. Great song choice.

  24. You are far more classier than Jamie Lee Curtis!!!!

  25. I have to laugh when you mentioned last night out. Actually, it was an outdoor restaurant experience in July. But I don't think I've been out after dark any other time since March. I'm featuring you in my post that will go up later today. Take care!
