#2 If I looked in your fridge right now, what would I find?

 Have you seen videos on any social media talking about if you have an ingredient house or a snack house? These are funny to me. I never gave this any thought, but I totally grew up in an ingredient house.  There was always food. But there wasn't always a bag of chips or cookies.  In a family of 5, if you did have some sort of "snack food" it didn't last long.  So, it was much easier and cost effective to be an ingredient house.   I have fond memories of coming home late at night from a date or night with friends.  My brother would always be awake, and I was always hungry.  That was when we would get creative.  My go to snack was saltine crackers with mayo, cheese, & green olives.  One night we decided we wanted to try and poach eggs.  Don't ask me why! We went through several eggs. We tried different methods and made mostly a mess.  We tried several times to make a cake. We didn't have a recipe we just started adding....

#1 What is your favorite way to spend a lazy day?

 Lazy days are few and far between.  To me, a lazy day is when you have literally nothing you have to do.  There's always something to do.  Like right now, I am sitting here writing because in my mind I don't have anything else I have to do but, that's nowhere close to the truth.  I have dirty dishes in the sink, clothes that need to be washed, and if I look to my left there are probably 10 things out of place, and I can see the dust that lives under the chair.  Oh, and the Christmas tree needs to come down.  But, whatever.  I don't care.  I am going to sit here and write because today, this makes me happy.   Naps.  I love a good nap. Thats always a good thing to do on a lazy day.  The perfect setup to me would be laying on the couch with a movie on that you have seen 100 times, the ceiling fan going, and a quilt that is the perfect weight.  You should never wear a bra on a lazy day.  Ideally the house would...

Let's Do This!

 I used to have a blog.  At that time, it seemed like the thing to do.  It was about the kids and different things going on in life at the time.  That was in 2011.  So many things have changed since then.  I haven't decided yet if this will be the place to discuss those things or not.   Probably 3-4 years ago I bought a book of writing prompts.  I think I may have done 1 or 2 in the book but, I decided this morning that this would be the place for me to do that.  There are 300 different prompts. I hope to do them all but I'm sure there are some that don't apply to me at all.  I figure with these prompts I will be able to brainstorm on things that make me happy, things that just make sense, and maybe some things I would like to change.  I need a hobby. This will be my feeble attempt at doing that.
