Thursday Memes

THURSDAY

Photobucket
This week's question:
Even I read things other than books from time to time … like, Magazines! What magazines/journals do you read?

My answer:
lol  I have to laugh at this question.  I have mentioned on more than one occasion how the hubster does not read.  He is still on page iii of the Prologue of a book he bought 3 years ago.  But last year, he had some points from something he belongs to, and had to use or lose so he put it towards 2 magazines, which, you guessed it, he just about reads the cover.  So I get to read Time and People weekly.

From Lori's site:
  It struck me recently how much time I spend on this computer every day, blogging, chatting or playing games on Facebook, emailing friends and relatives, making cards and calendars, etc. etc. etc.
  We depend on each other for book reviews, giveaways, encouragement, friendship, but how well do we really know each other?
  So that is what this meme is all about, getting to know each other.
WEEK 21 QUESTIONS
1. What is the outside temperature where you are today?
          28.....50 degrees colder than I want it to be!!!!
2. Do participate in any special winter sports or hobbies like skiing or snowmobiling, etc?
          LOL  Lori you silly Girl!!!!  Can you picture me doing winter sports....or any sports for that matter
with 5 back operations and 4 knee operations under my belt and needing 1 more back proceedure and 2 toal knees. LOL  It would be hysterical just watching me try to stand up on skis!!!
3. If you had to choose between a week long stay in a mountain lodge with lots of snow, activities, friends, food and beverages or a week alone on a deserted white sand island with just a bag of books and food and water which would you choose?
          Decision made...when we leaving....bags packed...when we leaving..oops missed the part about going alone...see you all when I get back   Bye!!!!

My sweetie doesn't like to read either but I have to say he fully reads the local newspaper and Magazines - Golf Digest and Men's Health.

Hearing him read to our daughter is quite funny, sounds weird, lol (and this does not happen often)

It would be the beach and books for me too! I don't like the cold at all - I am over winter already this year.

My husband reads newspapers and one magazine. Its Golf, so it has no interest to me.

I choose the ddeserted white sand island too! My back does not allow for winter sports either.

Yeah, you and me together on skis, too funny, IF see BIG IF, we were at the lodge we would be sitting in front of the fire, gabbing too much to read and watching the fools out in the cold out a big window. lol

You're doing great, Cheryl! I wish I could say the same, although I did read about 150 pages of the Sword of Shannara--a 700+ page book. I'm hoping to finish By Fire, By Water tonight.

I'm not sure if I'm going to do Bloggiesta or not. Is it this weekend? I don't want to take away from read-a-thon time. If I do it, I'm mainly going to work on my home library blog, A Huge Library in a Small Apartment. We'll see!

Glad you're enjoying the read-a-thon. Happy reading!
