Get Talking - Saying 'Yes'

This week's question asks:

What do you always say yes to?

I always say yes to a hug!

Physical touch is one of my love languages (along with time).

Get Talking - Guilty Pleasure

The question for this week to get us talking is:

What's your guilty pleasure?

Hmm ...
I've been thinking about this and having trouble deciding.

Is it

• Chocolate Mousse
• Pedicures
• Having a PJ day
• Lying in bed for half a day reading a book

I can't decide.

This makes me think of Miss Dorcas Lane in 'Lark Rise to Candleford'. 

In every episode she has at least one thing that is her "one weakness"!

My sister made a list of them one time, and I think there were about 15 different things!!

Get Talking - Dinner Time!

Card number 2 from my Kikki.K Conversation Starter Cards says:

If you could choose five famous people to have dinner with, who would you choose?

My five are (in no particular order):

• Queen Elizabeth II
• My grandparents were the same age as Queen Elizabeth II and it would be nice to hear her tell about her experiences at similar ages as my grandparents. I'd also like to know if she is going to nominate a successor to the crown, or just leave it to the current succession line (e.g, skip Prince Charles)
• Sir John Monash
• Sir John Monash was a real forward thinker and planner. I have long admired the way he thought about the need for larger roads and space for them to expand; places for cities to grown and the like. I'd like to know what he would do about some of the situations in my area that we face, and what kind of plan he would come up with to address them.
• Dee Henderson
• Dee is one of my current favourite authors. I'd like to ask her about the break she took from writing, if she is going to write a sequel to 'Before I Wake', and how she handles being a single woman.
• Robin Jones Gunn
• Robin is another of my favourite authors. There are just so many things we could talk about!
• John, one of the Apostles
• John walked and talked with Jesus and he possibly lived longer than any of the other apostles. He wrote my favourite gospel. I'd like to ask him what it was like to be with Jesus.

So, who would you choose to have dinner with?

Get Talking - Kicking Off

For Christmas in 2015 (yes, I know, only just over a week ago) I received a little box. In that little box are 50 cards. And on each card is a question.

They are from Kikki.K, my favourite stationery store.

Finding things to put on my blog has been a bit of a struggle (other than books to review and reading challenges), so I thought this might be something fun for each week.

The first card is:

What are you planning right now?

There are a few things I'm planning:

• Crafts for Kids Camp
• Some house cleaning tasks, like washing windows and curtains
• To make some new notebooks
• Going grocery shopping
• How to rearrange my DVD collection (it no longer fits on the shelves)
• What to do with all the paper scraps from my cardmaking projects
• How to fit in a cardmaking day before the end of the school holidays (along with what seems like a million other things to do as well as needed rest)
• How to fully tidy my desk and keep it tidy (I tend to dump things while trying to sort out their actual home)
• What books to read for this year's reading challenges
• Making prayer a priority

That's a pretty big list so far, and there are more things I could add.

How about you?

What are you planning right now?
