Meet Me on Monday #56

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand November marches on….

I’m still reeling from the time change (Daylight Saving). Meh, I hate DST. Why, why, why? It’s like evil revenge on those of us who don’t fly in jets. What if they gave a Daylight Saving Time and nobody did it?

Here are this week’s questions….

Questions:

1. Are you excited for the holidays or are you dreading them?
Neither. Well, maybe more dreading them than excited for them JUST BECAUSE I want to stick to the budget but the prices of things keep going up and up while my pay remains the same or lower. We don’t do anything for Christmas, so that eliminates a TON of stress. We celebrate Thanksgiving Day, and give each other one gift. Every year, it seems that everyone I know bemoans the enormous amount of stress and money spent on the holidays, and I sympathize! The holidays are much too commercial. But we make them commercial, don’t we? What if — like Daylight Saving Time — we refused to do it?

2. Do you hit the snooze button or get right up?
Oh I used to be SO energetic in the morning! I would bounce out of bed right before the alarm went off. For a few years, I didn’t even need to use the alarm. But somewhere along the way, I got exhausted, lol. Now, I hit that snooze button. A couple of times, even.

3. Do you still have your tonsils?
Yes. Unfortunately. They are such a pain. 🙁

4. What was the last piece of candy that you ate?
Hmm…. I think it was… M&Ms. My husband brought home a little “handy size” pack from work. We don’t do Halloween so I don’t have any candy in the house. I probably seem like a real fuddy-dud because we don’t do any holidays, I am a fun gal!!! REALLY! :jetters:

5. Do you shop at thrift stores?
Yep. I shopped exclusively at thrift stores for many years. Only recently have I purchased some new stuff for the kids and I. I always bought brand new shoes and undergarments, but the kids always wore hand-me-downs until only recently.

How would you answer these?

Have a great week, friends! 🙂
