| 30 Day Blogging Challenge Prompt 30 ▼ Now I may not have commented on other blogs as much as I should have, but I have been reading them pretty often. So here are a few things I've learned- No matter what Prosperous Snow celebrating  writes about, it always comes out like a beautiful song that normally strikes a chord in me.It seems that when I read Robert Waltz  , I end up with an odd look on my face. Somewhere in between quizzical and wry. I love the way he sees things and then writes bluntly about them.When I read Cass--Autumn Spirit  , I feel kind of feel like she can read my thoughts. Which is both terrifying and cool.There's more, but it's late and I'm tired. I'm proud of myself for actually completing all 30 prompts. Some were late and some were short, but I did it. Baby steps to progress. Cheers. |
| 30DBC Prompt 28 ▼ Okay, this is a tough one. I couldn't think of anything right away so I asked my family for help. Here are the responses: Hubby- "Hell if I know, I quit trying to change your mind about anything years ago." Ravyn- "There was that one time that.... I'm going to need more time." Zak- "Will my answer influence my game time, bedtime, or amount of schoolwork? Are you sure? Well then, you've never changed your opinion about anything because you are always right to begin with. That's why you're my favorite aunt." I rest my case. Cheers! |
| 30DBC Prompt 27 ▼ I will eat peanut butter with damn near anything, but my favorite combination is actually peanut butter and vanilla bean ice cream. I'm not much of an ice cream (or sweets) person, but when I do have it, it's vanilla bean. I can't explain how the tastes compliment eachother, but damn it's good. The only stipulation is that the ice cream has to be slightly melted. By the way- watermelon and salt is weird?! Maybe it's just a Southern thing! Cheers! |
| 30DBC Prompt 29 ▼ Does anyone remember doing quizzes in magazines as a teenager? Well I may have been the only one that did and enjoyed them, but I like prompts that ask a few personal questions. Even silly stuff. Maybe I'm just nosy! My favorite day...I honestly don't know. Probably Talk Tuesday and Creation Saturday. |
| 30 Day Blogging Challenge Prompt 26 ▼ Well this is a fitting prompt!  I'm three days behind in this challenge and I don't really want to bother with going back and doing them since I'm behind on so many things. I feel like it's pointless because it's clear I'm not even on the scoreboard (so to speak). But I'm going to do them anyway because I want to finish. Due to a variety of complications the last time I tried it, I gave up halfway through. Not this time. I know I've been late, haven't commented as much as I would have liked on other blogs, and there have been times when I didn't feel the prompt so I didn't put extra effort into my responses, but I still want to have that little feeling of accomplishment. I plan on doing this again. I want to be able to do a better job and give more of myself until the day comes that I can honestly say I did my best and completed the challenge. So my second attempt may not be the best, but I will finish. Cheers. |
| 30 Day Blogging Challenge Prompt 25 ▼ Although I've been late a couple of times, I enjoy the challenge. I feel like I don't have enough time or patience to write each day, but in reality, most of the time I do, if I push myself. I have a hard time commenting on other blogs, but I'm truly making an effort. So I do plan on doing this again. Hopefully I can give more of myself to the prompts and interact with other bloggers more often. |
| 30 Day Blogging Challenge Prompt 24 ▼ One of our Christmas traditions is listening to festive music and enjoying a cup of eggnog while we decorate our tree. Eggnog. What an odd holiday drink. There are more than 1878 variations of the name. As for the origin of eggnog, there are many theories and debates, so we may never know for sure. One thing we do know is that it's a dairy-based beverage. So why in the world does my teenage daughter insist on trying it year after year? She's borderline lactose intolerant! But as soon as the seasonal drink appears on store shelves, she begs to sample it. I guess she's waiting for her taste buds to change because so far she still doesn't like it. And of course, it temporarily upsets her stomach. She does have Lactaid pills that she takes if she's really craving a milkshake or other foods on the no-no list, but they don't seem to help much with eggnog. Honestly, I find it amusing. Not the discomfort, no amount of cheer is worth that hassle, but the fact that each year I tell her it's not a good idea and she does it anyway. Why can't she just be satisfied with her gross cotton candy flavored candy canes? My family is full of stubborn people. If everyone would just listen to what I say and do what I want them to, life would be much easier. Yes, I do have some control issues, thank you. I'm starting to believe that she does this on purpose to irritate me. She has a gift that way. |
| 30 Day Blogging Challenge Prompt 23 ▼ Peanut butter! Ooh, PB is my comfort food for sure. I've had all kinds of PB flavored treats, but there's something so sinfully delish about a big spoonful of creamy peanut butter straight from the jar! Which is one of the reasons my Soul Sister and I got coordinating PB & J tattoos. "Invalid Item"  |
| 30 Day Blogging Challenge Prompt 22 ▼ I'm grateful for- the love of God Hubby's job a roof over my family's head food in my family's stomach a vehicle that runs without complications |
| 30 Day Blogging Challenge Prompt 21 ▼ To be honest, I'm not sure. Off the top of my head, I can't think of anything. Of course, that may be because today has long and draining. Our Thanksgiving plans have gone to hell and I'm pretty exhausted. |

but seems to be okay today. I worry about my poor circulation, scrub my toes with a soft bristle brush, watch discoloration come and go. I probably need new arteries or veins but hey... "Heathcare" USA (enough said?). I may be better off trying something here in Thailand. But still... wish I lived in a country that had adequate patient based healthcare. Thailand and Taiwan mostly do, but I can't access it. First world systems like Europe, Canada and Australia do, but again, I can't access it.
