On Love and Romance

It’s time for this month’s Q&A prompts from The Blended Blog. Naturally, the questions have to do with love and romance this month.

• Kisses or hugs?

  • I adore both from my husband. Hugs from my kids and a very short list of close friends and family. Other than that, I’m not a hugger… and for sure, not a kisser!

• Candy or flowers?

  • Flowers. I especially enjoy fresh-cut bouquets in the dead of winter.

• Baking or cooking?

  • COOKing, of course. I love to COOK. I especially love certain people named COOK. Ha.

• Do you remember your first kiss?

  • Of course I do. And I reenact it with that same man every chance I get!

• Favorite color of roses?

  • Yellow. So bright and cheerful.

• Conversation hearts?

  • I love to play with words so I definitely enjoy that aspect. To eat, not so much.

• Do you leave love notes?

  • Definitely!

• Do you decorate for Valentine’s Day?

  • Usually. I had Lyle bring in the box of Valentine decor from the garage when he was putting away the Christmas decor in early January, but that’s as far as I’ve gotten this year. We’ll see if I end up getting it out of the box this week.

• Red or pink?

  • Red. My phone case is red. My Kindle cover is red. My tablet cover is red. My little niece astutely observed: “Red must be your favorite color.” Yeah. It kinda is. That and sage green.

• Milk, white, or dark chocolate?

  • Mmm… caramel’s not an option, huh? Well, then, milk chocolate. Though I’m learning to enjoy dark more.

• Do you believe in love at first sight?

  • Not romantic love at first sight. Attraction, yes. But true love takes time to grow.

• Do you give humorous or serious Valentine’s Day cards?

  • Both. Here’s how we did Valentine’s cards one year.

• Favorite flick chick or romantic movie?

  • It’s a Wonderful Life. I love the scene where “George lassos the moon.”

• Stay in or go out?

  • On Valentine’s Day evening, especially, stay in. I can’t stand to be in crowded places.

Happy Valentines!
