Hello, kind friends! I have greatly enjoyed your responses to my Get to Know You posts!

So, it’s time. Come sit on my porch for a spell. Tea, lemonade and refreshments will be served shortly.

Here are 3 questions! Let’s go!

Photo by ROMAN ODINTSOV: https://www.pexels.com/photo/top-view-a-cup-of-coffee-with-foam-decoration-5337017/

Here is round #29:

  1. How do you like your coffee or tea?
  2. How far will you venture, dressed only in your pajamas? Just to get the mail, or all the way to the grocery store?
  3. How long do you think you could last in The Hunger Games?

Here are my answers:

  1. I like my coffee with no sugar added creamers mixed together: Chocolate Caramel and Italian Sweet Cream. I like my tea with honey and a little splash of milk.
  2. I live in a village where everyone takes note of everything. LOL So, I will not even go to the mailbox in my jammies.
  3. I am pretty sure I’d be the first killed. LOL I got no skillz.

And now, it’s your turn! If you don’t want to participate, no problem! I’m just glad you’re here. A hello would be fantastic, though! Of course, lurkers are always heartily welcome, too. xo

To those celebrating tomorrow, Happy 4th of July!

Thank you so much for reading, liking, lurking, and commenting! You are important!

  1. How do you like your coffee or tea?
    Extra hot with 5 cream and 5 sweet and low
    How far will you venture, dressed only in your pajamas? Just to get the mail, or all the way to the grocery store?
    I will take B.
    How long do you think you could last in The Hunger Games
    I can do anything if I imagine I am am part of a movie.No risk involved.

  2. How do you like your coffee or tea? Tea plain, unless it’s matcha.
    How far will you venture, dressed only in your pajamas? Nowhere. I wouldn’t answer the door in pjs.
    How long do you think you could last in The Hunger Games? If it’s anything like laser tag, I’d be shot 45 to 2.

  3. … 1. With sugar and cream. 2. Chasing new dogs who got out of our yard I’ve had to go multiple houses down the road. 3. I’m afraid I don’t know the rules to those.

    • Hi there! Good to see you!

      1. Simple, yet tasty!
      2. Oh no! I guess when it’s like that, who cares what you’re wearing, you’ve gotta catch them! My sister had a beagle that kept jumping there fence. lol
      3. That’s okay. It’s a book series and movie series. 🌺

      Thank you for playing! Your answers are great!

  4. Hi Kymber….

    Strong with milk and a wee bit of sweetener.
    (Oh…and multiple times a day 🙃)
    If ever… probably all the way to another planet and back…they talk about it today and then talk about someone else tmro🤭😂
    Practicing earnestly…when I give it a try I’ll get back to you…🥴lol…

  5. here are my answers:
    1. I like my tea with some sugar, and my coffee is more like hot milk with a splash of coffee in it! Super latte.
    2. I get the mail, my pj’s are nice, but not nice enough to shop for groceries in!
    3. I guess I would be one of the first eliminated. I’m too kind and would hesitate, which definitely would get me killed.

    • Cool!

      1. LOL Super Latte it is! I love it!
      2. LOL I hear you on that!
      3. Me, too. I totally get what you’re saying. If I wasn’t frozen in place, I don’t know that I could kill anyone else.

      Thank you so much for playing! I really enjoyed your answers! 🌺🩷

      • I really like this “game”, the questions are engaging and make you answer things about yourself you didn’t really reflect on before! I even use some of the questions in class with the seniors – it’s a fun way to get to know each other!

  6. I love my coffee with a tiny bit of hazelnut and a bit of Italian sweet cream.

    I wouldn’t go anywhere in my pajamas if I’m getting out the car… if I’m dropping off or picking up my youngest somewhere and not getting out of the car. Then who cares! I’m driving comfy!

    I would last exactly 0001.00 seconds before I fell and got myself exploded, shot, or fall down some horrendous cliff to my death. I wouldn’t last a second. Facts. Haha!

    • If there is Italian Sweet Cream, you might find me on your doorstep. 😀 lol 😂

      You drive comfy! I’m all about that. 😀

      LOLOLOL We’re in the same boat! 😂

      Thank you so much for playing! I enjoyed your answers! 🌺

  7. I drink my coffee black, but I like flavored coffees, such as Highlander Grogg, cinnamon flavors, and so on. The only tea I usually drink is hot herbal before bedtime.
    I will go anywhere in my “pajamas” (aka bum around the house clothing), as long as I don’t have to get out of the car; Sonic, curbside grocery pickup, you name it.
    I might not die first, but only because I would figure out how to hide.

    • Your coffee and tea sounds great!

      That makes sense; as long as you don’t have to get out of the car. I wish we had a Sonic near us. 🙂

      I think that’s a good strategy for The Hunger Games.

      Thank you so much for playing, Jeff! I enjoyed your answers! 🌺

  8. Good morning, Kymber! From the “Better Late Than Never” department…

    Coffee – Hmm… if I’m making it at home, I love New England Coffee Chocolate Cappuccino with just sugar and half & half, sometimes iced if it’s my second cuppa. If I’m heading to the Starbucks with my laptop (I’m usually on a mission to finish a chapter if I’m heading there!) my favorite is a Caramel Macchiato. I’m not much of a tea drinker overall, but I’ll enjoy a cup of Rooibos tea at night with some blue agave. It’s quite tasty!
    As a severe fibromyalgic fifty-something lady, my jammies are my go-to wardrobe unless I’m leaving the house. Everyone who comes into our home for Hubby has seen me in my pajamas at least five times each, and his aide does every morning. I’m sorry, but 9am is way too early to get dressed for the day if I have nowhere to go. That said, I don’t leave the house in my pajamas. Ever. LOL!
    The Hunger Games… I’m almost positive I’d meet a grisly death within the first five minutes. I can’t run, and I have no skills, either, unless I can write myself into a victory. Even that’s iffy.

    • Why hello and good morning, Wendy! So pleased to see you. 😀

      I’m coming to your house for coffee! lol That tea sounds good, too.

      I hear you on wearing your jammies around the house. Especially with the amount of pain you have.

      You and me both! lol I’m sure I’d go down in a grisly way, too. I like the thought of writing yourself into a victory! We can make anything happen when we write! 😀

      Thank you so much for playing! Your answers are amazing!

  9. Here are my answers:
    (1) I don’t drink coffee, just tea. And I don’t add anything to it.
    (2) Oh gosh, I have definitely gotten the mail in my pajamas before! I used to go grocery shopping in my pjs every once in awhile back when I lived in the city. My apartment building had a grocery store downstairs, so I couldn’t be bothered to change sometimes. I don’t do that anymore though! I swear!
    (3) I am pretty resourceful and have always been great at hide-and-go seek. I don’t think I’d win, but I don’t think I’d be the first one gone. So a solid middle of the pack I’d say.

    • (1) Cool!
      (2) LOLOLOL It’s totally ok if you do. 😀 But I think that’s normal, especially if the store is right beneath your apartment.
      (3) That’s way further than me! LOL

      Thank you so much for playing! Your answers were great! 🌺

  10. Coffee with 1/2 cup of scalded half and half.
    My pj’s usually are for indoors and are limited to my own indoors.
    Hunger games…too overconfident. I would be out pretty fast. At 71 I don’t move as well as I used to.
    Happy Fourth! Always remember why we have it. Remember those who gave their all so we could live as we do. Freedom has a price.

    • I think your coffee sounds good!

      I totally get that about your pjs. Me, too!

      I hear you about The Hunger Games.

      Happy Fourth! I love your words about what today means. This is so true! 🌺

  11. 3 shot Americano with a touch of 1/2 & 1/2 with 3 shot Cappuccino on weekends. I grind my own beans and have a wonderful espresso machine. No need for Starbucks or others.
    2) Hmmm, not far. I do now sleep in PJs. Lets just leave it at that.
    3) In my youth I might have said I could last a while. These days, I might not make the starting gun. 😁

    Happy 4th of July Kymber. Allan

    • 1) That’s awesome, Allan! We grind out own beans, too. The Mister has been practicing different ways to make coffee and is quite the barista as I imagine you to be.

      2) Okay. Let’s. LOL

      3) Hahahaha! See, though, I know what you mean.

      Happy 4th of July to you, too, Allan! 🌺

  12. Coffee? If my sponsorship sends me any coffee, have them send an extra shot of expresso. Irish Whiskey and Kalua would be nice, but I am competing and I must keep my wits.
    I sleep in my Midnight Minimalists, no serious contestants want to see my nightlock berries. I will stay close to my lair.
    I’d lose pretty quickly but come back as one cranky
    poltergeist like Peeves and haunt the crap outta Snow!

  13. Kymber <3 ~ Dying over your answers (hahaha) mine:
    Black as my soul! Tea and honey is heavenly!
    I can go anywhere in my jammy-jams and my slippers have heads!
    LOLOL ~ I got mad skills, but they saw my jammies and now I’m running …

  14. Hey Kymber! Loved your answers, heres mine:
    I like Pyure sweetener and heavy whipping cream in my coffee, and with tea it depends. If its black tea, the same, but smaller amounts.
    I might venture just outside the motorhome to let the dog(s) potty, but that’s it. (my jammies are sweatpants and a floppy t-shirt anyway, lol)
    I’d last a while on the Hunger Games, I’m good at hiding but I can’t run for my life so…

    • Thanks so much! I know I will love yours, too!

      Your beverages sound delicious! I will have to try that!

      That sounds like you could venture out comfortably. 😀

      LOLOLOL If you hide well enough, I’m sure you could make it!

      I loved your answers! Thank you so much for playing, ChickiePotPie! 🌺🩷

  15. Q1: Coffee Italian way: Go into a bar, ask for a “caffè”. You get an extremely tight ristretto, 3-4 sips at most, caffeine hits your nervous system like a freight train.

    Drink your glass of water, save your liver. Don’t you dare drink Cappuccino after 2 pm, it’s frowned upon 😧

    Q2: I never go out of the house without being dressed in a fashionable manner. No, not even a tracksuit. As fashion Icon Karl Lagerfeld put it:”Whoever goes out in a tracksuit has given up upon life”. So at least jeans and a T-shirt are a must.

    Q3: As a competitive person I wanna crush the fellow opponents and win the Games. Period. Ironic mode out 😎

  16. Splenda and 1/2 and 1/2 (I know.) in my freshly brewed coffee.
    I can go anywhere in my jammies. They look like a T-shirt and shorts.
    I would last as long as the first arrow in Hunger Games.

    • lol I think that sounds like a lovely coffee indeed. I always have 1/2 and 1/2 handy because I put it in my mashed potatoes.

      Hey! That is great! Good idea!

      LOLOL So like me, not very long. LOLOL Sorry, I just can’t see myself out there unless I’m standing frozen. LOL 😂

      Thank you so much for playing, John! As usual, your responses leave me with a smile. 🌺

  17. Great questions!
    1. I don’t like coffee but love tea. I have it with soya milk.
    2. Not even to get the mail! Just around the house.
    3. I don’t think I’d last five seconds as I have a back problem and am really slow!

  18. Lot’s of sugar, lot’s of milk (or half & half). I do like that Hazelnut creamer, too, though I know I am not doing myself any favors whichever I choose. 2. I go outside every morning in my pajamas to unlock the front gate, though I would never extend that to walking to the store. 3. Well, in my work-life I have always been the last employee fired, not because I am a good worker, because I have always been the sneakiest. Most people do not like blending in with the wall, while I have made it an art form.

      1. Hey, I think your coffee sounds really good whether it’s doing favors or not. LOL :D😂
      2. LOL I think that’s fine. I agree with you about not going to the store that way.

      3. LOLOLOL I admire your skill! You probably would win! 😂

      Thank you so much for playing! I enjoyed your answers!

      • One day I will write about the week-long filing position that I turned into a six month position with my own office — that is, until the Christmas party was announced and the Boss went around greeting everybody, walked in “my” office and said, “Merry Christmas! Wait … Who are you again?”

  19. How do you like your coffee or tea? Coffee? Two sugars and a splash of milk, usually, but I also like those flavored coffee creams.
    How far will you venture, dressed only in your pajamas? Just to get the mail, or all the way to the grocery store? To the mailbox (in Florida…in New Hampshire, I must go to the Post Office, as there is no home delivery here).
    How long do you think you could last in The Hunger Games? 30 seconds. Maybe less!

    • Flavored coffee creams are amazing, but I can only do the “no sugar added” ones. I think your coffee sounds good!

      I didn’t realize there were states that didn’t deliver the post. Interesting! 🙂

      Meeeee, too!! LOLOLOL

      Thank you so much for playing! I really appreciate you stopping by! 🌺🩷

      • Re the no home mail delivery: I think it’s mostly in rural areas. Madison is tiny! (I might return to my hometown once I publish my novel on Amazon. I like my landlords and the fact that I rent two rooms, but I’m not a rural person. After a while, the isolation gets to me.)

        • Oh, yes, I could see how that would be. The Mister and I are so happy living in the village. It’s good for talking to people who are walking while we sit on our porch. Before this, we lived in a rural area. The house was on a dirt road that was poorly kept. And we both need interaction with people, so it was getting to us, too.

          Can’t wait for your book to come out!

          • Re the book: I am also eager to finish, publish, and read Reunion: Coda. It’s become my “passion project,” even though I decided to write on a whim; I never expected to go from a standalone novella to a duology!

            Apropos of that: I’m curious, Kymber…have you read the novella that precedes the novel?

            I live in a house that I like, and the rent is affordable, but the road IS a rural dirt one, and I miss the city. (And…making friends here is so tough.)

  20. HI Kymber, great questions. I only drink tea, no coffee. I drink it white with no sugar or sweetener. I do go outside in my pyjamas to fill the woodbox in the early morning. As for The Hunger Games, I’ve not read it or watched the show, but I know I’m a survivor so I’m sure I’d make it.

  21. Happy 4th of July to you! 🎉

    Fun questions, as always. 😀 I’m with you on numbers two and three.

    1) Coffee, hot or iced: with Stevia and either skim milk or half a vanilla protein shake mixed in. Sometimes with Bailey’s
    Irish Cream instead! Hot Tea: black with cinnamon and/or a little honey. Iced tea: black with lemon and Stevia

    2) I wouldn’t go past the front door in pyjamas! 😲 My German upbringing dictates one must be fully dressed and properly groomed to set foot in public. 😆

    3) Like you, I’d be dead in no time! 😆 No athletic ability, no wilderness training, no weapons training…

    • Thank you! Do you have any plans for tomorrow? We have fireworks at 10 pm.

      I’m so glad you found the questions to be fun.

      1) That’s clever to add the protein shake! I should seriously do that. Bailey’s is so, so good in coffee! I think your teas sound good, too. I could drink iced all day long in the summer.

      2) LOLOL I agree with your etiquette.

      3) Right? I know exactly what you mean. lol

      Thank you so much for playing, Debbie! I really appreciate it! 🌺🩷

      • We had our holiday, Canada Day, on July 1st. Unfortunately, the neighbourhood was very noisy with fireworks all weekend. Not nice for the pets! 😓 The vanilla protein shake tastes great in coffee! Pyjamas in public? Mama would be horrified! 😆

        • My mama would be horrified, too! LOL

          Oh yes, I remember it was Canada Day. It is so hard on our animal companions, for sure. I’m surprised no one has been shooting them off in their yards around here.

          I’m going to try the protein shake in my coffee! It sounds so good! 🌺🩷

  22. My answers:
    1. How do you like your coffee or tea?
    I like mine with milk and sugar, the classic chai for tea, and for coffee I like it with a hint of cinnamon

    How far will you venture, dressed only in your pajamas? Just to get the mail, or all the way to the grocery store?
    Just to the door, or past it if I’m popping in for a quick visit to the next door neighbours.
    How long do you think you could last in The Hunger Games?
    Not very long. I fail to see how I shall even qualify for the Games.

    • Hi, Aboli!

      1. Ooh, yes to cinnamon! I think your drinks sound yummy!
      2. Good answer! I, too, think one of my neighbors wouldn’t mind.

      3. Yes, meeee too! lol I feel ya’.

      I loved your answers and I’m so glad you stopped by to play. Thank you! 🌺🩷

  23. Fun questions! I like your answers! Here are mine:
    Coffee hot, with half & half only
    Tea, iced, no sugar
    I don’t drink hot tea.

    I’d probably go to the grocery store in my PJs. I have gone in my slippers, before. My jammies are basically the same as the regular clothes I wear – black pants and black shirt, jammies are more comfortable though. I’ve been to the mailbox, and all over the yard greeting neighbors in my jammies too, so no problem.

    haha = I’d never make it a minute in the Hunger Games. 🙂

      1. I think your coffee/tea sounds good. I love iced tea. I drink it all summer long.
      2. You are brave, my friend. lol 🌺🩷It sounds nice, though, to feel free to wear whatever you want no matter where you go. I admire that.

      3. LOLOL You and me both! :D😂

      Thank you so much for playing! I really enjoyed your answers! 🌺🩷

  24. 1.Coffee when i drank it ranged from (Skim Milk/Cream/Flavored Creamer/2 pks of Truvia) Tea (Skim Milk/Honey)
    2. Sleep in my underwear so no galavanting anywhere dressed like that 😅
    3. I’d do my best but i can’t sre lasting very long as a middle aged fat short guy

    • Hi, Matt!

      1. Your coffee/tea sounds really good!
      2. LOL You wouldn’t believe the outfits I’ve seen at Walmart. LOL

      3. LOL I feel ya. I think I would just be frozen in place, and it would all end for me there. LOLOL

      Thank you so much for playing!

  25. How do you like your coffee or tea? Italian Espresso, no Starbucks fru fru stuff. The real thing. When I drink tea then I drink it British 🙂
    How far will you venture, dressed only in your pajamas? Just to get the mail, or all the way to the grocery store? Why would I leave the house in my pajamas? However, I have lounge pants and tshirts and of course I would get the mail, but that’s about it. Old school all the way and proud of it.
    How long do you think you could last in The Hunger Games? If I would make it into the woods, I could last a bit.

  26. 🌞 Awesome responses Kymber! I think you have skills…

    How do you like your coffee or tea?
    Black, nothing added

    How far will you venture, dressed only in your pajamas? Just to get the mail, or all the way to the grocery store?
    I have worn my jammy pants to the grocery store… lol They have peinguins on them..

    How long do you think you could last in The Hunger Games?
    Not sure, but I think I would last a bit, by hiding from others. lol

    • Thank you, Lorrie! So good to see you!

      I used to drink mine black, too. But at the moment, I’ve been trying different creamers.

      I think your jammy pants sound so cute! I love penguins! 😀

      I think that’s a good strategy, it just might save your life. LOL

      Great answers! Thank you for playing!

  27. Coffee and Tea, both with Hot steamed milk and 1 Splenda.
    Pajamas, maybe to the mailbox, no way would I wear them in public .
    Hunger Games, I don’t know, I tend to be pretty competitive, so I know I wouldn’t be the first killed, but I wouldn’t be the last.
