The Nosy Meme-Sunday Stealing

Nosy Meme 

Stolen from: FYeah Surveys

Average hours of sleep: 

Usually I sleep about 7 hours a nite.  I go to sleep ok, I just can't seem to stay asleep.

Last thing I googled: 

Doggie gates from Amazon

One place that makes me happy: 

Santa Barbara with my Grandsons, at the beach or playground or even Costco.

How many blankets I sleep under.

We are currently sleeping under 2 blankets and a set of flannel sheets, with our dogs, we are very toasty.

 What are you wearing right now: 

Jeans and a t-shirt and I am feeling a little cold.  Need to put on a sweater. I think I'll go get the new one I bought at TJ Maxx.

 Last book you read:

I am still reading the Princess Bride, the last book I finished was As You Wish, by the Dread Pirate Roberts, Cary Elwys. I should read my Kindle Fire, but I find myself playing games.

Favorite fictional character:

Jane Austen's Elizabeth Bennet or Louisa May Alcott's Jo March. 

Last movie I watched in the cinema: 
We watch most of our movies On Demand, so I think it was the Lego Movie with grandson Лука, it was a actually a pretty good movie. 

Dream vacation: 
Well I am taking Mr BC to London, Paris and Rome in September. But I think my dream vacation would be an around the world cruise or living in England for 6 mos in a cottage.

Dream wedding: 
I have been married for 47 years and I had the wedding I wanted at the time. A destination wedding anniversary would be nice.

Dream pet: 

One who will eat perfectly.  I have two on a veterinary diet to lose weight. And one who is a picky eater.

Dream job: 

One that involves travel and relaxing. It would be the only way I would leave retirement.

How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are? 

Probably 40.  Those were good years.

Which is worse, failing or never trying? 

Never trying keeps you from failing, but life would not be very interesting.

If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do? 

It's called responsibility and I must admit that as I grow older and have less responsibilities....I do more things that I like.

NOTABLE Peepshows of TV

I had these pictures for and Easter/Spring post but forgot, so I will use them here for the letter N.  Creative people have made the pictures/dioramas's of some of the Bankerchick families favorite TV shows.  I am one of the few people in our family that love Peeps (stale).

Neatora

Peep Benedict's abdication and resultant Peepal election is not necessarily a favorite  show 
but it was on TV a lot recently.


Mental Floss

The third series of Peeptonton Abbey was especially (spoiler alert) deadly for some family members.  It is still my #1 favorite Masterpiece Theater presentation.

The MUPPETS-April A-Z

  

I miss The Muppet Show and it seems the internet and Sesame Street on Utube is the place now to find their satirical take on Television and Movies.  These spots are fun on several levels.  The kids may not have seen the programs the spots are based on but the learning piece is still in there.  I use to watch television with my kids and when I can I watch media with my grandsons. I say media as the grandsons watch from videos, not from broadcast or cable. It is a good thing when adults and kids can enjoy the same programming.

I truly enjoyed watch TMS and Sesame Street with my kids. The Muppets are a phenomenon that I still enjoy,  I am glad that the Muppets are still available to another generation.

 

This is Tax day....take a break from filing to enjoy the Muppets.
