I'm joining up with Joyce and friends for Wednesday Hodgepodge - thanks for the questions.
1. February is coming to a close. Give us a two-word phrase
that tells us something about how yours went. First, I must ask . . .how in
the world is February coming to a close? Now to answer the question – how about
“full and fun”? I’m not counting the “and.”
2. If you had to describe how you're feeling right now as an
amusement park ride, what ride are you on? Explain. I am at the top of
the Tower of Terror . . .about to drop! That is really way too dramatic but I
do have my mid-term this week and between living normal life, working full-time,
and trying to study, I do feel as if I’m perched on the edge.
3. What's something on your desk or a nearby wall that cheers
you up when you see it or walk past? I don’t have our Easter
decorations out yet BUT I did buy this precious wooden bunny tray on Saturday, and
he is so cute. I decided to go ahead and leave him out. I bought him at WALMART!! Just in
case anyone is panicking. I do move him when I turn on the oven.
4. Are you a salad eater? How many salads do you
typically eat in a week? Your favorite kind of salad? I love a good
salad! I eat several per week. I have a few favorites – a local Italian/Pizza
(Pizzeria GM) restaurant has a SHAVED BRUSSEL SPROUTS, PEAR, DRIED
CRANBERRIES, PECAN, GORGONZOLA, & BACON W/ MAPLE-BALSAMIC DRESSING (copied from their menu) and I
always add grilled shrimp. It is delicious. There is another local restaurant (Greenhouse)
near my office and they have The Greenhouse salad which is mixed greens,
romaine, watercress, pickled onion, tomato, goat cheese, salad crunch, avocado,
Goddess vinaigrette and I add chicken. Can you tell that I prefer salad as a
meal, not as a side? Our newest at home favorite is the Maple Bourbon Bacon
salad kit. It is yummy!
5. Without telling us the category give us your top five:
(not necessarily in this order)
Strawberries
Watermelon
Cara Cara Oranges
Blueberries
Bananas
I would find the pressure of school to be a lot on top of everything else. You seem to be managing it all well! Good luck on your midterm. I don't have my Easter things out yet either. I don't have a lot, but normally put out a few things, more spring than Easter I guess, but I do have a ceramic bunny my mom made me when I was a child and I love ot get it out this time of year. Easter is so early this year that it's throwing me off a little. Have a nice week!
ReplyDeleteThe pressure does get to me every once in a while -- especially when big projects are due or it is mid-term or final time. I went into the mid-term with an A but I have no idea how I did on the test.
DeleteYes, I too would like to make my salad a meal. If you add enough protein then it is!
ReplyDeleteWe've been eating Costco chicken and salad all week :-)
DeleteThat is the cutest tray!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI want to try that (new to me) salad kit! Your bunny tray is adorable.
ReplyDeleteDid you try the salad? I've eaten it at least three times this week . . .maybe four!
DeleteGood luck with your test. That salad sounds good. I eat an apple every day. Sometimes I have it with peanut butter. Your bunny tray is cute!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Mid-term is behind me. Next up is our research paper!
DeleteWe will have to try to find that salad kit - sounds delicious and quick.
ReplyDeleteIt is a really good salad kit!
DeleteGood luck on that mid-term! You've got it! Love the bunny!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It is behind me now.
DeleteGood Luck on your mid term!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the bunny... I am a huge fan of bunnies.
I have several of them in my decor year around.

My sister used to have a few bunnies and then everyone (including me) started giving her bunnies for every occasion. Pretty soon . . . she had a year round collection.
DeleteYes, blessings on your mid-term! I'm a big fan of bunnies and that one is too cute. I have a beautiful bunny family and that's pretty much the only Easter decor I put out any more. Happy week!
ReplyDeleteBunnies are definitely cute!!
DeleteWishing you all the best as you prepare for that midterm!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It is behind me now!!
DeleteCute bunny tray. Glad you move it before turning on those burners! LOL. Love your stove top!! I have my Easter bin out and will decorate soon. I hope your mid-term goes well!
ReplyDeleteI dragged out some of the other Easter decorations today! I love my stove, too. I had wanted one for at least 20 years. I've always said, "I want a red knob stove." Now I have a range, a wall oven, and a speed oven (which is microwave, convection, and who knows what else) . . .all from the red knob company and I feel truly spoiled!
DeleteWow. You are incredibly busy!
ReplyDeleteYes, my husband nor I can just sit around. We like to have things to do.
DeleteI love the Taylor Farms salads. So good. Your backsplash looks a lot like mine. Love that bunny tray. I hope your midterm goes well.
