3x Thursday: 07/02/y2k+9: ‘Independence Day’

3x Thursday

1. What does Independence Day mean to you?

Not much personally as I have only lived here for a short time but I understand the importance of it.

2. Do you have any plans for Independence Day this year? If so, what? If not, why not?

Yes, we are having a cookout at the in-laws.

3. Did you see the movie Independence Day? If so, what’dja think? If not, why not? Do you think that movie had any significance at all, or do you think it was just a ‘Hollywood’ movie?

I loved that movie and I thought it was significant in that hopefully the whole world can stand together if needed!

3x Thursday: 06/25/y2k+9: News

3x Thursday

1. Were do you get most of your national news? Where do you get most of your local news? Is one easier to get than others?

We only watch Fox News. We didn't get it until we got cable. Which I think stinks.

2. Do you believe what you see/read in/on the news? Why/why not?

It depends on the network and what they are talking about. I think Fox is the most honest news network I have watched over here. And I am saying this as an unbiased person who has only recently moved to the USA. Most other media networks are very biased in my opinion.

3. What do you think of the 24 hour news cycle? Do you think it helps us to know what is going on, or do you think it’s a bad idea, or too much? Why/why not?

I don't mind. I think its good if you don't have time to sit down and watch it at a specific time.

3x Thursday: 06/18/y2k+9: Sleep

3x Thursday

1. In general, do you sleep well? Why/why not?

Most of the time, however if I am stressed or anxious I tend to toss and turn.

2. How much sleep do you generally get a night? Is it enough for you? What’s your ideal sleep time/schedule?

Usually around 7-8 hours. I think I get enough most of the time. I usually go to bed really late, between 2-4am and I get up around 10:30-11am. School days I get up at 6:30am to make sure my son gets on his bus then I go back to bed. Hubby works third shift so I tend to have his sleep schedule.

3. Do you sleep thru the night? If so, good for you! If not, do you know why? What do you do to get back to sleep?

I get up at least twice to use the bathroom, but apart from that I usually sleep through. I am a pretty heavy sleeper.

1. Do you collect anything? If so, what? If not, why not?

I used to collect shoes and handbags, but I had to give most of them away in the move to the USA. I havn't been here long enough to start collecting anything yet.

2. Is there anything you’d like to start collecting? If so, what?

Not really. I tend to collect things unconsciously. I just seem to buy things and then realise after a while I have alot of them!

3. What collections of things that people have accumulated over the years do you like the most? Why?

I love my husbands comic book collections, he has some really neat ones and old ones too!

3x Thursday

1. Do you like summer? Why/why not?

I don't mind summer, but I don't really like hot weather. If its a nice mild day then I love it, but anything over 90 F (32 C) is not comfortable for me. And I hate humidity.

2. Do you have any big events/plans for this summer? If so, what are they? If not, is it just SSDD (same stuff different day)? Why/why not?

Nothing really special planned. We would like to go to the beach but its expensive and we really can't afford it.

3. Is there anything you like or dislike about summer the most? If so, what? If not, are ya just not hard to please?

Humidity, flies, sweating, bugs!
