Welcome to Sunday Stealing. Here we will steal all types of questions from every corner of the blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the most interesting and intelligent questions. Cheers to all of us thieves!
Cheri is a blogger from the beautiful state of Georgia who didn’t often participate in memes but stole this one because “for whatever crazy reason” it appealed to her. We did Part 1 back in October. Now let’s do Part 2.
Meme Schmeme – Part 2
Complete the thought:
I LOVE TO have enough time in a day to do a little of this, a little of that. It is usually tied to playing CDs. I’ll write a blog post for one album, then wash the dishes and straighten up for another, then work on library stuff and bill paying for another. I might take a nap, or watch recorded television. As my late buddy Dustbury used to say, we are magpies, attracted to the next shiny thing.
Some recent albums played: Wildflowers – Tom Petty (Honey Bee); Robbie Robertson, eponymous (Somewhere Down The Crazy River); Guero – Beck (E-Pro); Surf’s Up – Beach Boys (Feel Flows)
I SOMETIMES will read three or four newspapers in a row because I get behind. There are usually stories, especially local ones, that I had missed online. And I like to read the funnies; yes, I could read them online, but that’s less fun.
I FEAR the loss of balance of power at the federal level of the United States. Congress took steps to push back against the executive branch’s unfettered war powers, then folded. “The high court’s decision to strip Haitians and Syrians of their protections from deportation had immediate ripple effects for immigrants and their employers.” And know that the Haitian aspect is racist – “they’re eating their cats.”
So far away
I MISS having friends around to talk with regularly. My besties are in Austin, Boston, and the Mid-Hudson. Or deceased. There is the telephone, I suppose.
I CRAVE a Porterhouse steak. It’s been years. Decades?
I CHERISH quality time with the kid, who’s all grown up. Every once in a while, she’ll let on that I didn’t totally wreck her growing up, including when we went out to dinner this past Wednesday.
I AM IMPATIENT WHEN I muck up something. I made an appointment to meet someone from a national library at my local library at 10 a.m. But because of my ongoing allergies/cold/flu, I went back to bed after breakfast and didn’t wake up again until 10:45. I am really annoyed with myself.
Thank you for playing! Please come back next week.
