This Week in my Life

October 14

I'm holding true to my one post a week in October. I'm pretty happy I made the easy goal for myself. Next month, I'll try to up it to two a week.

I've once again, picked some prompts for this week (from Saturday the 10th until Friday the 16th. I won't do all of them, just the ones I have answers to.

I hope everybody had a great Canadian Thanksgiving (those from Canada that celebrate). I had a great weekend with my family. I relaxed in my small town, and showed my pup what it was like living in a quiet town.




Now for the prompts.

10. Share your favourite recipe that includes eggs.

I would normally skip this one, but I did just recently discover a delicious and different egg recipe called Eggs in Hell. So good. Not an every weekend kind of treat, but nice for the odd weekend brunch.

I'll add a link to the recipe I found. Eggs In Hell I've got it on my Pinterest eating board. My Pinterest Food Section 


And a pictures of the cooking process/finished product. 


11. If you were going on a trip to any place in the world today, where would you go and what would you do?

I've always wanted to go to Ireland. So I'll stick with that. It hasn't really changed, but the truth is, I'd go anywhere. There are still places in Saskatchewan I want to explore as well. I've got a friend in Australia that I'd love to see. 

I have a lot of places I'd love to see.

12. What are your pet peeves?


Mean people.


13. Do you find it difficult to ask for help?


Yes. Always have. I will though if I have to.

16. What changes have you made in your life this month?


So far, I'm eating better, but I'm not exercising enough. So I still need to work on life improvements. 

I'm making sure to write and read more.

That's about it. 



Until next week, 



As always,

Smiling

October 8, 2015

Looks like I'm taking this once a week posting seriously. Once again, I've got some catching up to do. I REALLY wanted to post on the 3rd because apparently it was World Smile Day. That sounds like a great thing. So I'll do that prompt for sure, and any other that looks interesting up to this date. 

Then I will take Thanksgiving off. This kind of works as a Thanksgiving post as well because the things that make me smile are also things that I'm thankful for. 

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving! 
3. Happy World Smile Day! Share a list of ten things that make you smile.


  1. My Partner 
  2. My family 
  3. My friends
  4. My pooch
  5. My backyard and garden food!
  6. The Fall colours 
  7. Coffee
  8. The big, huge, wonderful sky. 
  9. Writing. 
  10. Books


5. Have you ever visited a farm?

I only kept this one because it's funny. I'm a Saskatchewan girl so the more common question is did I grow up on a farm like so many others. I grew up in a town, but spent time on farms. 

7. What was your favourite game when you were a kid? Do you still play it today?

Monopoly and Clue. And yes.

October Prompts: http://www.thesitsgirls.com/writing-tips/writing-prompts-october/

Year long Prompts

Friday 2 October 2015

Hello October.

October 2nd, 2015

Cheers to the most beautiful month of them all.





October goals: 



  • Clean off my desk. (The one at home. My work one is organised chaos.)
  • Use my desk. (Again, at home.)
  • Don't try to rush the month. Enjoy it. (I know I'll want to rush it).
  • Stop procrastinating.  Get things done. 
  • Edit my novel. Nothing else. Just read through it, comment, and edit it.
  • Blog at least once a week. More would be better, but once a week is the goal. 
  • Continue enjoying the small and big things. It's working for me.



And I may as well do a prompts (link is below) for the first and second day of the month:


1. Share your favourite vegetarian recipe.


I'm planning to make a zucchini Pizza crust this weekend, so I'll let you know. But - let's be honest. The pizza will have meat on it. So that's not really vegetation. 


I'm sure I could make a mean veggie lasagna. I don't have a recipe though. 

I'm going to be perfectly honest, when I was a teenager, I decided to become vegetarian. It lasted a day.

Then, I decided to just eat chicken, and no other meat. It lasted about a day.

I like meat. I like cooking with meat.

However, I guess my very favourite recipe would be portabella mushroom pizzas... but again. You can put meat in those. And I probably did. I'm really good at adding bacon to most everything.



2. Do you remember your first car? Did you give it a name? Tell us about your first car or what it was like when you learned how to drive.


I didn't get my first car until I was older. She was a Ford Festiva. Felicia the Festiva. My next one was Tommy the Taurus (He didn't last long). Now I have Yolanda the Yaris. I feel bad if I don't name vehicles. I've lived a number of years before and between those cars surviving without a vehicle. It can be done, but isn't always fun.
