  Good Morning Monday!!   I am doing a link up with the following blogs because I loved this week's questions because they focused on my happys....SUMMER.       1.  What is your best summer memory as a kid? I loved the pool, riding bikes, and just hanging out with my best friend.  I also used to tan outside with the neighbor lady and she would bring her TV outside with an extension cord to watch her soap operas.  I thought that was the coolest!!   2.  What is your favorite summer drink? It used to be an ice cold coca cola or diet coke.  I don't know what it will be this year.  But in the evenings I really like a glass (or two) of Moscato on the back porch :)   3.  What is your favorite summer TV show? The Real Housewives of New Jersey.  This is the best one as far as I am concerned.   4.  What is the best outdoor summer activity? A good book on the back porch i...

  No, this is not a post about the big diet I am going on to lose weight.  I am not referring to that fluff in my life.  However, it is kind of  a part of it.  I am a First World Glutton.  Of food, stuff, entertainment, and all other forms of excess.  I do not feel First World Privileged.  I feel First World Trapped.     I am making a public decree to lose the Fluff.  If this gal can give up soda pop after 40 years (only 5 in the last 32 days) she can also give up her addiction to the things/ways of the world.  No I am not saying all of the things in my life are bad, but they are in excess and they are choking the life out of me.  Literally.  My heart is heavy my friend.      I can name about a 100 things I want right now materialistically, but the things that I am needing are rest, peace, contentment, passion, and purpose.  I cannot buy those things.  They come from weeding thr...

    Happy Sunday Friends :)   Today I am linking up with the above blogs to do a weekly writing prompt....   So here goes...   1. What is your biggest driving pet peeve?  People honking at red lights.  Seriously, if someone is there for a minute extra...chill.        2.  What is your biggest blogging pet peeve? I don't think I have one.  If another blog gets on my nerves, I just quit following it.  I would hope that is what someone would do to me as well.  There is plenty of room for all of our opinions and styles.   3.  What is your biggest shopping pet peeve? Overly helpful sales people.  If I need your help I will ask, if not, let me browse.  Other wise I feel like I should apologize if I don't buy anything.   4.  What is your biggest general pet peeve? Other people giving me opinions on my life.  I am not above asking advice, ...

  What a Beautiful Friday today has been....   This is what's is going on around here.   Past.... This week has been a little calmer.  I did have my stress test and everything looked good.  The Doctor said I should exercise more though.  Yeah, like I didn't already know that!  The girls have been busy, but not overwhelmingly so.  Thank goodness for some quiet evenings, we needed them.   Present...We are having beautiful weather here.  Not too hot and not too cold.  Just perfect.  Celebration of the Arts Festival  is going on this weekend on campus.  Which means my afternoon break consisted of a walk, and a corn dog, and a strawberry shake up.  Yummo!!     Future... A nice weekend is forcasted weather wise, so let's hope for a lot of outside time!!  Also, a special little guy's one year old birthday party is tomorrow and might I also say he just got a new baby brother ...

  Well I bet that post title grabbed your attention.  My addiction....soda.  Recovery....well we have yet to say. Progress....one week with no form of Soda.  When was the last time this happened in my life?  Maybe at 5 years old.  Maybe.  I really don't know.    My mom let us drink pop whenever we wanted.  I know it was daily.  She herself was addicted to pop and it was just available and preferred by me and my brother.  I am not sure I have ever even went 3 days.  I have given regular pop up for diet or no caffeine before.  You know, trying to be all healthy and all...he he.  But never, ever not at all.  I am so super proud of myself I can't stand it.   The reason? Reality.  It is not good for you.  At all.  It eats up your stomach (probably other things too).  It increases your risk of about every disease (at least in the quantities I prefer).  But most of all ...
