5 foods… now this one is not hard!
1. Pasta… I love it, love it, love it. I don’t cook it much anymore b/c I have no control around it. Red sauce, white sauce, thin sauce, think sauce, I’ll eat it anyway you cook it!
2. Pizza… Yum, love some pizza on a weekend night. Papa John’s is my absolute favorite, but we don’t have one in my town, probably a good thing. But, every so often, I’ll bring one home from work (I work in a bigger town) and dig in!
3. Newk’s Favorite Salad – never ever would I have thought a salad would be in my top 5. My dad does an impression of me from when I was young at the dinner table and anything green was on the plate… let’s just say it’s very unflattering. But this salad, it’s a different story, and I attribute some of my recent weight loss to it’s lovely deliciousness!
4. Mexican food… I love a fajita quesadilla
5. My grandmother’s brown rice… so good, so easy, my friends request it if I’m cooking, it’s the best!
Now my stomach is growling, everyone have a great day!!
It’s been a busy few weeks, fun at the horse show and at the county fair, but now it’s back to reality…
6 places...
My parents’ house – I love the farm, they have a beautiful home, and it’s just a peaceful place. They have a perfect front porch for a tall glass of water and a rocking chair.
Neshoba County Fair – Coolest fair ever!! It’s in Philadelphia, MS, and it’s known as Mississippi’s Giant House Party. They have over 600 cabins on the fair grounds, people stay all week long. I’ve been fortunate enough to visit twice for a couple nights, and there is nothing like it.
Charleston – Never been, but it’s #1 on my list of places to go. I hear such wonderful things about the old homes and just the city in general.
The Beach – My favorite time is spring or fall, I’m not one for lying out all day, but late afternoon, walking the beach, that’s pretty marvelous!
Washington, D.C. – I’ve always been interested in history and politics, so D.C. is fascinating to me. Love all the museums, monuments, everything!
Austin, TX – I’ve been once to visit a friend who was in school there. It was just such a cool city. Very artsy, pretty, good food, we had a great time, and I’d love to go back!
7 wants…hmmm…should this be this hard??
1. I want to be content in all circumstances.
2. I want to be a friend that gives words of encouragement, listens well, and can be counted on.
3. I want to be a wife to someone who loves me in spite of my insanity (there are many more qualifications on that list, but he’d have to get past the insanity before any of the rest matters :-)
4. I want to make Dave Ramsey proud (I’m pretty good with a budget, but having no real accountability to anyone can sometimes lead to some selfish or unnecessary purchases)
5. I want to never have another sinus infection…says the girl with the hacking cough(probably not happening unless I move out of TN)
6. I want to play the fiddle
7. I want a camera to make my blog more fun…
Ok, so my 10 day challenge may not be consecutive days. 8 fears… interesting thing to think about…
1. Top on my list right now is my foot and that it won’t heal soon and I won’t be able to run the half marathon
2. Being too conservative in my actions on some things and not going out on a limb.
3. Friends not knowing the Gospel because I’ve been too afraid/lukewarm/lazy to share.
4. Haunted Houses (you’ll be hard pressed to find me at one)
5. Horror movies (don’t ask me to watch one unless you want me sitting in your lap clawing your arms)
6. Becoming prideful and forgetting where all my blessings come from
7. Losing close family and friends
8. People jumping out and scaring me (fists start flying, tears ensue, I hate it!!)
Today, nine loves. I'm leaving off the obvious, family, friends, God, etc, those are a given.
1. I love texts, notes, emails, calls that let you know someone is thinking of you. It really is the thought that counts, just put a little effort with it to let someone know you are thinking of them.
2. I love a really good movie that draws you in. I don’t watch many movies, so if I’m going to spend two hours of my life in front of the TV, I want it to be worth it.
3. I love running. Well, that’s a bit of a lie. I love how running makes me feel after it’s over, and I love knowing I did it.
4. I love the farm. Wide open land, it’s the best.
5. I love cows. Working with them, feeding them, looking at them, weird I know.
6. I love spaghetti. Love it so much I try to rarely make it because I don’t have good control.
7. I love the heater in my office… you could hang meat in there
8. I love giving… money, time, food, a compliment, a card, a surprise gift… is there any better feeling?
9. I love fall… football, county fair, horse show, cooler weather, did I mention football???
I’m trying to jump back into the blogging and I’ve now seen 2 blogs I follow doing this Hello Happiness and Happily Ever After, that’s enough to make me jump on the train. So, here we go with ten secrets…
1. Sometimes I wear yoga pants to work and pretend they are nice black pants (probably not a secret to my trendy co-workers)
2. I still have painter’s tape up in my house from before I moved in over a year ago. I’m afraid if I take it down, you will be able to see lots of messy marks.
3. I want a room of my house to be a room where people could write on the walls. I still may paint the back of my front door in chalkboard paint, I think it would be efficient, think of seeing my day’s to-do list as I walk out the door.
4. I think I want to teach high school at some point before I die.
5. I do not want to marry a man that wears a suit every day (I don’t know why)
6. I hate driving over bridges.
7. I sometimes pretend my eyes are lasers and can burn thru whatever I’m looking at (I know that ends in a preposition, but I’m not really sure what to do about it)
8. I want to do a week-long Facebook fast (this shouldn’t be hard, right??)
9. I was so excited about participating in last night’s Fantasy Football draft, I left work early and turned down trivia at the Mexican restaurant (but who got her man, Vick, that’s right, me!!)
10. Even though I think it’s bizarre to write your thoughts out for the whole world to read, I really wish I had a few more followers of my blog.
