Meet Me On Monday....

Although it's Sunday night! Maybe you'll read Java's questions she posted on Monday...

1.  What is your favorite yogurt flavor? Plain ol' Vanilla. If we're talking yogurt. I like to add granola, nuts and bananas to it. If we're talking frozen yogurt, I like to mix vanilla and peanut butter cup with nuts on top.
2.  Ankle or knee socks? and on the same theme, white socks or colored?? Really? Is there anyone over the age of 8 wearing knee socks any longer? Really the only time I wear socks is when I wear my running shoes, and that's with an ankle - white by the way - sock.
3.  How is the weather right now? It's always beautiful in So Cal. It's a cool evening with the sun to soon set. Simple perfect.
4.  Are you a fast typer? Faster then some, not as fast as those who do it for a living.
5.  Red or White Wine? I don't drink anymore, I'd rather save my calories for food, not liquid consumption, but If I'm going to have wine, Red all the way.

 Feeling Beachie's questions of the day:

1.      I cannot eat just one: Oh wow, really... hm, peanut M&M's, chips of any kind, jordan almonds, any kind of nut, and there is more, those just quickly come to mind. Self control is not my strong point.

2.      When I am in a bad mood ____ always makes me feel better: Hm... I'm a bit puzzled by this. I suppose it depends what put me in the bad mood... I think i need to roll this answer around in my mind for a bit.

3.      Happiness is: The love and support of family and friends.

4.      The most comfortable thing I own is: My couch, It may not be as pretty as it was 14 years ago but its so dang comfy.

Follow Friday....

1.  I despise the expression: "I don't know, it wasn't me" - I have kids, need I say more.
2. I put _____ on my burgers: If I make them at home I'm boring and go with cheese, spicy mustard and ketchup. If I'm having them out, I like them all dolled up with whatever fancy toppings grab my attention.
3. If I could have any view out my kitchen window it would be: The ocean
4. If money were no object I would: Have an ocean view out my kitchen window.

 Java's questions this week... 

1.  What is your favorite bagel flavor? Haven't met a favorite bread product I don't like - but if I have to pick a fav bagel, its the everything. Yummo!!
2.  If you had an extra $100 right now, what would you spend it on? Bathing suits for the kids
3.  What is the last thing that you felt guilt about doing? Ok, gonna sound crazy, but buying a $1.49 burrito at El Polo Loco. Money is so tight that a simple "extra" purchase like that puts me right into guilt mode.
4.  Soft serve ice cream or hand dipped?  Let me start by saying this answer is a 'redo' - I thought hand dipped was when they take the soft serve and dip it into chocolate that hardens - which I love. After reading Java's answer I understand hand dipped to be, well, ice cream. So, I like hand dipped. Soft serve only when it's dipped!!
5.  Are you allergic to anything? Yes, anything that involves cleaning and planning meals. Have the epi pen ready they send me into convulsions every time!
