Monday Morning Coffee Talk

 


Good morning! How was your weekend? Our weekend was quiet, and I am not unhappy about that. I did laundry, washed some bedsheets, picked up a grocery order, got a Vanilla Latte at Dunkin', and had a wonderful visit with my momma. Football played on a continual loop here, so I watched an unhealthy amount of Forensic Files. And I may or may not have a weird habit of looking up the criminals to see what happened to them. I know. Strange but true!

I am curious. About this and a few other things. Let's see...

1. Do you watch True Crime shows? 

2. Do you make your bed every day?

3. Liquid laundry detergent or Pods?

4. Do you wear socks to bed?

5. Do you miss Christmas when it is over?

6. What is your favorite game show of all time?

7. The Addams Family or The Munsters?

8. What is the best book you have ever read?

I am looking forward to your answers, my friends. And here are mine!

 1. Do you watch True Crime shows? 

     Yes. Probably too many. But I am hooked.                                                                          
2. Do you make your bed every day?

    Ummmm. No. Do I indeed to? You bet!

3. Liquid laundry detergent or Pods?

    Recently switched back to liquid laundry soap. 

4. Do you wear socks to bed?

    Nope. Can't do it. Too warm.

5. Do you miss Christmas when it is over?

    Yes. I miss it before it is over. 

6. What is your favorite game show of all time?

     Easy. Match Game with Gene Rayburn. Always.

7. The Addams Family or The Munsters?

    The Munsters! I love that show!

8. What is the best book you have ever read?

     The Jester by James Patterson

Have a cozy Monday!

  2. Hi Billie Jo. So glad you had a nice weekend. Yes, I watch crime shows. Dateline is probably the one I watch most. One station here has Dateline reruns every night, so I watch those as well as the new ones on Friday night, and yes, I was watching Forensic Files just last night. Yes, our bed gets made every day (I used to make it but not that Charly is retired, he does it). I do wear socks to bed. My feet get cold. We use liquid laundry detergent. We used to make our own detergent and that was powdered. I'm not a huge game show fan. Never watch them. I guess the Addams Family would be my preference but didn't really get into either The Addams Family or The Munsters. Hubby loves the old Addams Family shows. Best book - that a really tough one. I really loved LIFE WITH FATHER by Clarence Day. It's an oldie - probably out of print, but I got an old used copy at a library book sale years ago. What a delightful book. Fun questions. I hope you have a good week!

  3. Crime shows my favorite...make bed daily...always pods...no socks in bed...I do not miss Christmas...favorite game show...not really into those...not into Addams or Munsters...best book: LITTLE WOMEN or LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE...
    I love love love your blog. I absolutely love it. So interesting. I don't liked canned questions, but these are fun. Thank you for not whining and complaining. What amazes me is that people whined about gas prices...now they are down...never a word of thankfulness...now they complain about the price of groceries, yet go out to eat all the time...we have a war going on...people have died of a virus we knew nothing about, and people complain about the price of an egg. I am astonished...I am thankful the Lord has bless us enough to live in a country where we can buy an egg...walk the streets...thank you for your faithfulness...your kindness...your goodness...

  15. I don't watch true crime shows but my husband loves all the NCIS shows, Blue Bloods... so sometimes I watch them by default.
    I don't make my bed everyday. Probably should.
    Liquid Laundry soap. Although we recently got a new washer and the pants come out with what looks like powered soap all over them!
    I wear socks to bed in the winter.
    I do miss Christmas when it's over. We took our decor down earlier than usual this year. Not sure why.
    Don't have a favorite game show but my husband watches Jeopardy faithfully.
    Neither the Addams Family or The Munsters. I do like to watch Adam 12!
    The best book... that's a tough one. I've read The Robe twice. I don't read many novels though, I prefer biographies. I liked two of Julie Andrews books Home, and Homework, and I liked Carrie Fisher's book The Princess Diaries.

    1. I've had my eyes on those laundry sheets. How well do they work? I usually use Tide. Do they clean as good?

      Delete
  19. Nope! I do not watch True Crime shows. Not a fan of anything scary.

    I don't make my bed every day. Some days, but not every day.

    I use unscented liquid laundry detergent.

    I wear socks to bed most every night. I feel lost without them.

    I really don't miss Christmas. Looking forward to Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day (always loved this holiday) and Easter.

    I'm really not a fan of game shows, so I can't say I have a favorite. Although growing up I occasionally watched Family Feud and Wheel of Fortune.

    I'm not a fan of either of those tv shows. Sorry.

    Too many books to choose from. I really can't narrow it down to one favorite. Likely something from Sophie Kinsella.

  20. I rarely watch crime shows anymore.
    I make my my most everyday.
    I use liquid soap that's unscented.
    I don't wear sox to bed.
    I miss Christmas 🎄 and like valentine's day as it's my birthday. Easter is good to celebrate.
    I like books written by Jane Kirkpatrick.
    Have a good week!

  21. Hello dear Friend - always love these fun get to know you questions. ;)
    1. Do you watch True Crime shows? no because they'd stick with me too much. Lol

    2. Do you make your bed every day? Yep, just mentally makes me feel better to do a quick tidy - make the bed, open curtains, deal with pillows

    3. Liquid laundry detergent or Pods? pods - but just got powder that is chemical free and much healthier. I was reading how our skin drinks up the detergent on our clothes and grossed me out

    4. Do you wear socks to bed? Nope - I only wear a t-shirt. As little touching me the better. Lol

    5. Do you miss Christmas when it is over? I miss it until it comes next year ;(

    6. What is your favorite game show of all time? I like lots of them - the real oldies are so fun like Match Game and What's my Line. But I watch jeopardy the most - every day.

    7. The Addams Family or The Munsters? Both? ;)

    8. What is the best book you have ever read? I have read many wonderful books through the years, but none will ever have my heart like the Anne of Green Gables series....even though I initially read them as a teen. They will forever be special on another level.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I often look up the latest on the criminals as well.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Fun post! My answers.....
    1. I am addicted to true crime shows, and I too will often look up more info. Chris Watts is in the max security prison only about 20 minutes away from where I live.

    2. Not all neat and perfect, but I do toss the blankets back into place.

    3. Liquid. Have never used pods.

    4. No, it drives me nuts.

    5. Sometimes I miss Christmas, especially taking the tree down.

    6. Match Game, YESSSS!!!! I love that you picked that too!

    7. I think I used to watch The Munsters more as a kid but neither is a particular fave.

    8. I know it's probably not the best as far as writing, but my favorite is Twilight. Before that, The Outsiders was my absolute favorite for most of my life.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Fun post! I enjoyed your answers. Let's see....
    1. I do not enjoy crime shows (especially true ones). Way too stressful and then I can't sleep.
    2. I always make my bed. Always.
    3. I like the pods but often our loads are so small that I just use some liquid detergent.
    So, both:)
    4. Could not possibly sleep with socks on my feet.
    5. I do not miss Christmas. Does that make me a grinch?? I hope not.
    6. We used to love The Price is Right. With Bob Barker....we're old!
    7. Not sure about this one but I most remember The Munsters.
    8. Hands down, the best book(s) I've ever read are Jan Karon's The Mitford Series!

    2. I ALWAYS make my bed, and I'm particular about the way it's made!

  28. Oh this is fun! And I'm looking forward to reading everyone else's (especially the book answer lol)

    1. I get sucked into shows on the ID Channel. Are those True Crime? I have to be careful and quickly flip the channel lol. It just takes a minute before I now have to find out what happens with THAT story lol

    2. Most days I do because I do a lot on my bed (read, crochet, TV, etc), but I refuse to on Sundays.

    3. Liquid

    4. I wear socks always. I can only last a few minutes sockless. I don't understand why lol.

    5. YES! I miss Christmas when it's over. But not too much because I enjoy Christmas all year long. I listen to Christmas music whenever I want, watch Christmas movies, shows and specials, bake, light Christmas scented candles, etc. I even have a slim tree I keep up all year in the living room that normally has white lights on it but also has a strand of color lights if I'm in craving Christmas. I just plug the color strand in, instead of the white

    6. Whose Line is it Anyways!! Love that show!

    7. I watched one when I was a kid with my dad, but unfortunately I can't remember which one. So I have no opinion on this one.

    8. I can't really choose just one, but I'll give it a shot. I was at the library and totally grabbed a book because I liked the cover. Once I started reading it I couldn't put it down. I then realized it was a trilogy. So I went back to the library and got the other 2. I eventually bought all 3 because I loved them that much. That's the only time I read 3 books in one week lol. The first book is called "Gideon the Cutpurse" and the trilogy is labeled The Gideon Trilogy. It's a time traveling young adult book.

    Thanks for hosting this. This was fun.

  29. Good day! Hope all is well with you.

    1. Do you watch True Crime shows? Never.

    2. Do you make your bed every day? Most days. Then my dog burrows under the blankets and messes it up.

    3. Liquid laundry detergent or Pods? Best deal, but I like pods best.

    4. Do you wear socks to bed? Only when very cold.

    5. Do you miss Christmas when it is over? Yes, especially my tree.

    6. What is your favorite game show of all time?
    I don't know.

    7. The Addams Family or The Munsters? Neither.

    8. What is the best book you have ever read? Other than my Bible, the first thing that came to mind was the Little House series by Laura Ingalls Wilder.
