I miss watermelon seeds. Most of the melons I see in stores today are seedless. They look like pregnant footballs. I seem to remember watermelons looking like big zeppelins. Now they are round and not nearly so big. And they don't have seeds!
It's so much easier to eat a seedless melon. No muss, no fuss, just the clean up from the liquidy fruit and rind.
Do they still sell real watermelons?
It's been a long time since I've seen one.
When I was a kid, it was so much fun to eat watermelons with seeds. I could spit them out at other kids and we'd have a seed bombardment. Or I could pretend I was a machine gun on a plane and go rat-tat-tat and shoot at a pretend enemy. Or maybe I'd be a farmer planting seeds.
I wonder if my kids make believe like that?
1. On average, how many hours of sleep do you get a night? Is it enough, or do you need more?
On average, I sleep around 6 or 7 hours a night. It doesn?t seem to be enough because in the mid-afternoon I tend to get very sleepy and I have to take a nap!
2. Do you normally sleep pretty well at night, or are you a toss & turner, insomniac, etc?
It?s hard to say exactly. I get up a lot and I find that I?ve pulled the fitted sheet off the corner. I must toss and turn.
3. Do you sleep alone, or with someone? If you sleep alone normally, how do you fair when you sleep next to someone, or vice versa if it's the opposite?
I sleep with TB and I think we do just fine together.
Bonus Question for Comments: What's your ideal sleep schedule?
Ideally, it would be to go to bed around 11 or 12 (midnight) and sleep until 8 or so.
::Not so much easy as addicted...::
Onesome: Not so much-- --to do now that school is out for the students? ...or maybe a little too much to do for those student's parental units? What are you up to this July? Back for Summer Sessions? ...off to the beach? ...headed out on a weekend adventure? Surely you must be doing something
I wish I was headed to the beach! I expect to be very busy this month ? driving. TB has to have his shoulder surgery some time because he is in so much pain. Dr. Farrell, the surgeon, is going to handle TB with kid gloves this time. No driving, no physical therapy too early, lots of rest ? it means that I will be doing all the driving. If Linda gets her car and some insurance, that will lessen some of the responsibility for me. If that happens, I?d just have to drive with Billy to and from work, drive TB to the doctors, the girls to where ever they need to go ?
Twosome: easy as-- Pie? Sure, how about your favorite pie? ...and hey, homemade versus store bought! Would you rather have Mom's Apple Pie or head on over to Marie C's for a slice of heaven there?
Oh, please! Give me home made pie over the store bought stuff! Pie baked in a bakery is good too. My favorite flavor is blueberry, followed by Dutch apple. Yummmmmmm!
Threesome: addicted-- Okay, what is it you are addicted to, that element of your life you simply cannot do without. Reading? The Net? Little porcelain dolls? Oh, yeah: Money? Nah, make it something you'd spend your spare change on...
There are a couple of things I cannot do without. One is without writing. I must keep a journal and it?s better if I?m writing stories. I must have books to read. I would go totally bonkers without something to read. I must have music. I can?t have just voices, there has to be music!
