Sunday Stealing: Pumpkin Pie

Tomorrow, the movers come. And we hand over our keys. And take a flight home. So much is on my mind. And we still need to finish packing. Here is this week's Sunday Stealing. ♥E



It’s not really fall in until...You have some pumpkin pie.

What did you need to do in the waning days of summer for it to feel complete? Go camping.

A person I know was wrong for me but about whom I frequently thought after a break-up was... No one.

If you could only attend one major sporting event what would it be? The PBR Finals.

Assuming that you write an anonymous or partially anonymous blog, by what non-physically identifying characteristics might you be identified in a bar? I don't know.

Most blogs cover some sort of niche – personal, political, dating, culinary, etc. What topic, if any, would you like to address on your blog but doesn’t fit into your niche? Politics.

If you could manipulate the time space continuum and give as many as three pieces of advice to a younger version of yourself, what advice would you give and to what age of you? At 18: a. A good man is just around the corner. b. School isn't that bad...honestly. c. Life is full of surprises. Never give up.

Who among your friends do you really wish had a blog because their stories, or perspective on something ought to be shared? No, Lola already has a blog. I really enjoy her thoughts on lots of topics.

If you were to take an e-cation (vacation from the trappings of our electronic world,) and assuming that employment obligations would allow it, how long of a break could you take? What would you miss the most, the least? I would take a good month. If I could leave all my responsibilities behind. The only thing I'd miss is my friends. I like to read their blogs and emails.

On September 11th of this year, I attended a couple of parties and was somewhat conflicted by the fact that this ignoble anniversary shall pass with it being just another day in the eyes of many (and in some ways my own eyes as well.) Thoughts? I always think about the events of 9/11/01. That day will forever touch our lives. And I will teach my children about the significance of the day. I feel sad when people forget about it. But like other tragedies in our country, people forget.

How high are your walls? Who was the last person to scale them? What tools should would-be climbers have on their belt? My husband and only a few people really know the real Em. I just think you need to be truthful and honest with me. Then I'm able to let you in.

The sexiest thing a man or a woman can say to you (or has said to you) is: My husband telling me that I was sexy no matter if I was covered in mudd, working on our garden. Or all dressed up and ready for a date. :)

Sunday Stealing: French Bread

Paul and I had an amazing time yesterday and today. Yesterday, we took a drive through the mountains. It was beautiful! I just love all the small towns. The friendly faces and welcoming attitudes. It was amazing!

We went to the Chili Festival today. So much fun! We have so many great memories of this event. It was great timing to come home at this time of year. :) And to get to spend so much time with our friends. That was the best part! And here I go with another round of Sunday Stealing. ♥E

11. What is one thing that blogging has taught you about yourself? I'm a pretty random person. And I should probably more organized.

12. How are you going to (or how did you) choose the clothes you’re wearing today? What do they say about you in general or specifically how you’re feeling today? I was looking for something very comfortable to wear. My style is very casual on the weekends. Mostly because I have to dress up so much for work. And it generally shows that I'm approachable, happy, and a pretty carefree person.

Sunday Stealing: Disney World

First of all, Paul and I had the most amazing time today. After church, we went to the lake. It was definitely a lazy Sunday for the 2 of us. But it was much needed. I packed a hefty picnic lunch. More food than any normal 2 people would need. But it was nice to have the variety. Paul fished while I read. He is quite proud of the 5 fish he caught. Promising me that tomorrow he is cooking dinner. His fish!

But we have had so much fun during our friendship. She is like a little firecracker ready to battle it out with all of our male friends. But she is so thoughtful. It isn't unusual for me to get a box of her homemade chocolate chip cookies in the mail. :)
