We had a great long weekend here with (mostly) good weather, some fun, some family…
In Which All Is Revealed
Writing yesterday’s blog post and then reading all of your comments was so much fun! A lot of you know me very well but I still managed to fool you on some things, too. Let’s run it down, shall we?
- I bake bread weekly. False. I used to bake bread regularly and I still do occasionally but weekly? Ummm, I work full time.
- Knitting is my current favorite crafty hobby. Before that it was quilting. And before that counted cross stitch. True. I’ve always had a crafty hobby and it has changed over the years. I’m pretty sure knitting is here to stay.
- I have been to Italy, England and France. False. The only foreign country I’ve been to is Mexico. (18 days, by the way.)
- I have gone deer and turkey hunting. True. Years ago, when I wanted to impress Dale, I guess, I went deer hunting on opening day. I sat in a tree stand, freezing my ass off, and saw nada. Truth be told, I don’t think I could have shot a deer even if I had seen one. Turkey hunting is more pleasant – it’s warmer, for one thing, and it’s only until Noon, for another. Still, these are not things I pursue.
- I am left handed. True. Just like my grandfather, in fact.
- I would rather have yellow cake than chocolate cake. True. I love chocolate but when it comes to cake, make my yellow.
- I don’t really talk about it on the blog but I went to a private high school. False. This is the one that many of you fell for. No silver spoon in my mouth, though, I went to public high school and the only reason I go to go to that fancy ass college is because I was smart and my parents were poor.
- If I wasn’t a librarian I would be a lawyer. False. If I wasn’t a librarian I would be a social worker. I’d still be overworked and underpaid so maybe I should have gone with being a lawyer.
- I cried when I watched this week’s episode of The Good Wife. True. It was brutal. Bru-tal.
- I’m thinking of giving up blogging. False. This is the only one that you all got right!
And now you all know me a little bit better, whether you wanted to or not.

It was a cool way to get to know people a little better. And it was super fun to read.
Hmmm….I should have commented, I had them all correct except for the lawyer comment..ha!
I should have known the cake thing … jeez! Some bestie I am haha 🙂
It was certainly fun…but don’t overthink it (like me).
Well, I think you’d make a good lawyer.
If I baked bread weekly it would be a bad thing! I can definitely see you being a lawyer.
It’s fun to get to know more about you. We have a lot in common but I didn’t guess very well. I only got #2 for sure! Thanks for sharing yourself.
I knew you’d been hunting! I’m a leftie too (Doug, Dan and I all are). And I watched the Good Wife last night ;-( Looks like some good stuff ahead though! Great fun this week Carole!
I was going to comment that every item was true except the last one. I’d have been wrong.
I would love to know what your favorite bread recipe is….
I used to try out bread recipes from this old cookbook The Complete Book of Bread Making until one day I was rushed for time and thawed/baked a loaf of Rhodes Frozen Bread dough. My then-husband tasted it and told me so far this was the best bread I had made. That was the end of my foray into homemade bread-making..
This was so much fun! Do it again sometime. Please? 🙂
That was such fun and a great way to get to know you better. Should have guessed that weekly bread wasn’t happening with your busy schedule 🙂
I got teary-eyed over this week’s Good Wife but it wasn’t as brutal as the week before. I literally couldn’t sleep after that episode! And I din’t know how I missed that you are a fellow lefty. Yay lefties!
love it! I am surprised by a few … and also surprised how many others were along with me. not that it matters, but I think you’d make an awesome lawyer!
This was really, truly f-u-n! I’m not an every week break baker either. I used to be, but the pace of life currently doesn’t allow it. I want to, though. 🙂 How will you follow up this week’s list? Can’t wait to see what you come up with!
It’s yellow cake for me, too!
