Fun Friday With Some Help From My Friends and Feline Friday

GOOD MORNING!  

I think?

Thank you Terri at Coloring Outside the Lines!

I am joining Feline Friday over at Sandee's - Comedy Plus- 

Last pictures of Mexico - BIG Iguana's running home....

A group of women were at a seminar on "How to live in a loving relationship with your husband."

 

The women were asked: "How many of you love your husband?"

All the women raised their hands.  

Then the women were asked : "When was the last time you told your husband you loved him?"

 

Some women answered today, some yesterday, some just couldn't remember. The women were then asked to take out their cell phones and text their husbands with one message: "I love you, sweetheart."

 

The women were then told to exchange cell phones and to read aloud the text message responses from all the husbands. Here are some of the replies:  

1. Who is this?

2. Hey -- are you sick?

3. I love you too.

4. What now? Did you crash the car again?

5. OK -- what did you do now?

6. Don't beat around the bush. Just tell me how much you need.

7. Am I dreaming?

8. If you don't tell me who this message is really for, someone will die.

9. I thought we agreed we would not drink during the day.

10. Your mother is coming to visit, isn't she? 

Thank you Suzz

RECIPE

I don't remember where I got this, stole this, but it sound good to me.

"Lemon Poppyseed Muffin in a Mug Recipe:

(This is a great, quick protein snack or dessert)
 
Spray a mug with non-stick cooking spray.
Whisk 1 egg into that mug.
Add 2 T. almond flour (you can grind your own almonds)
Add 2 T. milled flax seed (you can grand your own flax seed too)
Add 1 t. butter
Add 1/2 t. poppyseeds
Add juice and pulp of 1/2 lemon
Add 1/8 t. lemon extract
Add 2 g. (2 packets) raw Stevia powder
Add 1/2 t. baking powder
Dash of salt

Whisk all this together in the mug.
Microwave on high for 1 minute 25 seconds.
Turn muffin out onto a plate and let cool a bit before eating.

I tried this without the butter and then with the butter. The butter helps immensely, making it nice moist muffin with that great lemony taste!

{$50 Target Gift-Card GIVEAWAY} and Wednesday's Hodgepodge

Hodgepodge Questions-Volume 136

(The giveaway is below).

Here are the questions for this week's Wednesday Hodgepodge.  Answer on your own blog, then hop back here tomorrow to add your link to the party. The more the merrier...click here.

1. The first week of August is National Simplify Your Life Week...what's one thing you could do this week to qualify as a participant?

This summer we have been making our home and processions lighter.  I think while it wasn't simple to do - the more things you get rid of and the less you have - makes your life much simpler.

2. It's also National Peach Month...peach pie, peach cobbler, or please pour me a Bellini?  What's your peach pleasure?

Well I live in Georgia THE PEACH STATE -  So all of the above - Bellini's, peach oie, peach cobbler, peaches - anything peach - I LOVE!

3. Eleanor Roosevelt once wrote, "Do one thing every day that scares you." Agree or disagree...explain.

I have that quote right on my desk,  So you know it has to mean something to me.  I totally agree.  And I try to live it every day.  Makes you strong!

4. What's your favorite household chore?  Yes-you have to name one.

Laundry - love the smell and feel of it.  Good thing too -because I have a lot of it.

5. Fodors recently listed (what they've dubbed) the ten most beautiful sunset spots in America. Click here to read more and see the pretty pictures, but this is their list:

Butterfly Beach in Santa Monica CA, Mount Haleakala in Maui HI, Old Fort Marcy Park in Santa Fe NM, Laguna Beach CA, Hopi Point in Grand Canyon AZ, Four Seasons in Miami FL, Santa Monica Pier in Santa Monica CA, Gay Head in Martha's Vineyard MA, Ensign Peak in Salt Lake City UT, and Mallory Square in Key West Florida.

Have you seen the sun set from any of these spots?  If you could choose to watch the sun set this weekend from one spot on the Fodors List, which would you choose?  Where was the prettiest sunset you've ever seen?

I have never seen the sunset from any of those places.  If I could I would pick Butterfly Beach in Santa Monica because I could see my sister as well. Maybe I did when I was there before and just forgot to notice- I wouldn't forget now!

Now the most beautiful sun - I have ever seen was when I was in Alaska - it was summer and I don't know if it ever set.  I do know at certain times of year the  northern lights are there and it is spectacular.  I'm surprised it's not on his list.

6. What's your favorite or most used app?  If you don't use apps how about your favorite or most visited website?

Pinterest and Facebook!

7. We've recently passed the halfway mark for 2013...write a seven word sentence that sums up your year thus far. 

Time for me is moving too fast!

8.  Insert your own random thought here.

My grandson starts school on Monday.  It's a private school with a hard curriculum and he has ADHD.  We just feel that it is the best place for him and so does he, but he has to work very hard.  Last year was rough.  I would love if everyone sent up a quick prayer for him. THANKS!

NOW THE GIVEAWAY!

Swimming in Mexico - (are you guys getting tired of Mexico yet?)

Okay a couple of short tips today from Women's Day -

DON'T SURF FACEBOOK BEFORE LUNCH - New research finds that people who were the most active on Facebook had a higher BMI.  The surprising theory:  Experts say that viewing friends' photos and feel better about yourself, which in turn lowers your self-control.  So. skip the social medical check in before making a mean or snack choices and save it for when you need a little pick me up.
