What do you value most in a friendship?
I should think it’s some great value like respect or loyalty, but it’s probably interesting conversation.
Do you prefer eating the frosting of the cake or the cupcake first? Do you prefer a specific flavor?
I’m not big on frosting, in fact, I’m a scraper-offer, but I do like some essence of sweet with the cake. I generally bite right in, but sometimes a fork is needed. I like white cake best, like wedding cake white, but I like all cake, and I do not like sprinkles.
Have you ever been in a submarine? If you haven’t, would you want to?
Not a real one, no, just Disney’s and The Children’s Museum’s, and no, no thank you.
If 100 people your age were chosen at random, how many do you think you’d find leading a more satisfying life than yours?
I don’t know. I’m awfully satisfied. This is bizarre math. People are satisfied by different variables, yeah? I certainly don’t want someone else’s version of a satisfying life. My guess is 25 of them are satisfied, 25 of them should be satisfied but are striving for some idealized sense of perfection, another 25 are unhappy and don’t suspect it’s because they whine and bitch all the time, and 25 of them laugh and walk away.
Bonus Question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?
Last week went by at a reasonable pace instead of dragging on forever, and that was a pleasant change. I’m glad the furnace worked all weekend. Sweater weather, hot coffee, hot baths, The Mister’s hands. Still didn’t die drivin home in the rain in the dark. A crowd at the dinner table twice in two weeks.
I cooked some good food this weekend…
and even The Mister made orange rolls Sunday mornin, but I’m on a Rice Krispies kick again, mmm, I am grateful for my Krispies!
This week coming up, I hope it goes by at a reasonable pace and that the weekend brings us time to relax. I would like a nice, boring weekend. Ooh, boring weekend, C’mere!

I am also a scraper-offer!!! Carrot for cupcakes? Maybe?
Have you ever been in a submarine? If you haven’t, would you want to?
Yes, but not underwater, except at Disney. Two real ones actually, they were cool.
If 100 people your age were chosen at random, how many do you think you’d find leading a more satisfying life than yours?
Probably lots just because of my health limitations, in some ways anyway.

I always like your “Share Your World” contributions. It often makes me ponder stuff I should ponder but don’t. I hope you have a boring weekend;if that is what you want. Be advised that as you age boring gradually becomes the default mood for all weekends. So you have that to look forward to.

I’m a not-much-frosting person, too, Joey, and always ask for middle pieces of sheet cake while the rest of my family likes corners, so as to get more frosting. And don’t give me any pieces with frosting flowers or decorations on them, either. 🙂 I just made Cheerio treats, which are very like Rice Krispie treats but with peanut butter added. Great for my husband’s snacks and relatively healthy. May this coming weekend be completely and totally beautifully boring for you!!

I love the frosting, not the cake. We could share as long as we do the scrapey thing and not the licky thing. Now, I must say I don’t like snow in the least. Watching it dance across your site makes me cold. I think I will put another log on the fire!

I like a relaxed pace, neither fast nor slow. Steady is calming. Thanks for sharing about the meals, mmm-m! One of these days, girl, I’ll be at your door, asking to have a plate with y’all.
Glad you like your sweaters and cooler weather. I prefer warm, sweaty and all the sand in the back seat and floors of my car. 🙂
My “world” has made a sudden start up of my delayed, slightly stagnant love life. We started happily in Spring, hot Summer he wore out and backed away, but Fall started our growing friends/more phase. Ohh, crossing fingers! He was perfect around my birthday. 🙂

There is something about cooler weather that inspires cooking. Maybe because I can actually use my oven without causing my home’s temperature to rise to 85 or higher. I desperately wanted to try a new barley soup recipe but couldn’t find barley anywhere. Seriously?? I finally ordered some on Amazon and made good old cabbage soup and cornbread instead. I still will conquer the barley one day soon. Oh yes.

Cabbage soup is beloved by Moo and me! 🙂
How…odd. I buy barely at wherever. Maybe it’s a Midwestern thing, but I think everywhere here has barley. I like to add barley to a pot roast and make my mother’s Hobo Stew, which is barley-fied, too.
I made these things in Georgia, too, so the commissary had barley.
Thank heavens for Amazon! I hope you get your soup on!

Hi jo…
Scraper of the frosting – oh my! But to each their own… ha!
And on a bit of a more serious note – your answer about life satisfaction shows so much of that wisdom I like hat you weave into posts with your bits of humor ( and hope that does not sound like too much praise – but I do want to point this out sometimes – and I recall a while back you said you were writing a screenplay??? Well writers with this perspective and humor help out it great material – so I hope your writing projects are coming along well)
Ok – hope you have a great day after Xmas
And snap crackle pop….
