Meet Me on Monday Blog Hop

1.  If you had to eat only one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? That is really a tough question!!!! One food???? I guess it would have to be…..wait for it……chocolate.  I love chocolate.  And no one ever said that it had to be a healthy food that you could totally live off of, did they???

2.  Do you write your blog posts in advance or the day you post them?

I normally write them the day I post.  Sometimes if I get too many ideas at once I will schedule it and sometimes I goof up and do a blog hop post, schedule it and then give the wrong link to the host blog which causes big problems to the host.  🙁   So I usually try to just blog as I go.  But there are times when I do schedule one –especially if I know I am going to be pressed for time later and I know that I have something I want to share!

3.  Have you ever ridden in an ambulance?

Yes, twice.  Funny story the first time, not so funny the second time.   First time I was in college, had Biology at 8 am and ate breakfast afterwards.  I had been having headaches and the health center had given me Darvon (drug of choice back then) which I stupidly took on an empty stomach.   Went to class where we were doing blood typing that morning.  I remember Dr. Hoagstrom saying loudly—“If anyone has a problem with blood DO NOT DO THIS”.   Well, I did, but I did.   When I came to I was spread out on one of the benches outside the classroom with Dr. Hoagstrom leaning over me saying “Beth, Beth, Beth”.   They transported me by ambulance to the health center which was about 300 feet away…..no joke.   The thing I remember most vividly was that they pulled the sheet up over my head for some reason—-I mean it was the middle of winter in Ohio on the tundra but still….I kept trying to fight them and was saying “I am not dead!!!”   End of story—I was fine but had to convince them at the health center that I was just a dumb freshman. That didn’t really take that long.

Second time–much more drama—not going to go into it right now but suffice it to say—-I am meant to still be here on earth.   I came close, very close, but I guess I still had something to accomplish .  I am glad I got to see our boys grow up and glad that I actually got to have the second one and not check out after the first one.  I am blessed.

4.  What is your favorite candle scent? It changes but right now—-Chocolate Orange Chili Pepper by my favorite local artisan, Camille, at Soyphisticated Candles.  Wonderful!!!

5.  Coffee or tea? Both!!!  I love them both and there is a time and place for both!!!   I love my Keurig, I love fully brewed coffee and I love any kind of tea!!!

Just a small part of my teapot collection!!!!
