Hello dear friends!
Life happened this week... there was a death in my husband's family, my own family is coming in to town to visit tomorrow, I had a goal to meet for a writing project, and puppy number two is still keeping us a little extra busy... plus, I'll be honest (because if you're reading this I count you among my VERY good friends),
I haven't been in the best mental space for a while now, which has made it hard for me to manage my time as well as I would like. Blah and grrrr!
However I have some fun ideas for blog posts for the next week or two (the 5 weirdest foods I've eaten lately! The 5 most fun and unusual products you should be buying at Trader Joe's! Plus several awesome books I am way behind on reviewing...) so hopefully that will help to get me back in the blogosphere. Random notes about my upcoming post topics... I'm very fixated on food lately, yes? :P Also apparently fixated on the number five... though actually, I've only tried 4 weird foods up to now, so if you have something unusual to suggest please give me ideas for number 5 ha!
My other amazing cohosts are featuring fun and funny posts on the theme "First World Problems" which should be awesome, so DEFINITELY go check them out!! I might jump in late if I can find the time, otherwise I will just feature my fav posts from last week next week instead.
*cyber hugs* for anyone who is feeling a little down or discouraged or overwhelmed by life at the moment... I'm feelin' ya! And we're both gonna make it. Shoot me a message if you want to commiserate! ;)
Now on to the link-up! :D

ReplyDeleteHave you tried squid? WEird and horrible! frog legs? Both weird and horrible!!
Hi Melinda! Thanks for the prayers. :) I HAVE had squid in the fried calamari form and enjoy it (I just can't think about what it is while I'm eating it, haha!) and haven't had frog legs... those would be really hard for me to eat, but I'll keep them in mind if I can steel up my nerves enough...! :P
DeleteThanks for the party girls!
