Fill In The Blank Friday
What a loooonnnng week it has been, and at the same time, look how quickly Friday has arrived! School started up this week after half term, and while we had the typical back-to-school tiredness the first few days, I think we all were glad to get back onto some sort of schedule.
Anywhoo….enough moaning. Lauren‘s blanks always make me take a moment to stop and think happy thoughts, so let’s fill in some blanks!
2. Colder weather makes me crave warm soups and bread, pull out my favorite wool sweaters….and thick tights…and fun hats….and grandma’s afghan blankets. And admittedly, less enthusiastic about the season. While I love cozy fall sweaters and falling leaves, I hate winter. The only good thing about it is Christmas (and then it should go straight to spring.)
3. Three things that make me terribly happy as of late are (of course) my lovely, maddening family, fitting into my skinnier jeans, walking my dog along the river path and throwing sticks in the river for her to catch (because that’s when she is happiest)
4. If I could only wear one kind of shoe for the rest of my life, I’d choose ballet flats. They’re pretty and comfortable, and when you’re traveling you can fit a lot of them in your suitcase. (Although, with all the rain here in Wales, they’d last a month….) Can’t it be two? Then my response would be ballet flats and tall boots, which, incidentally is pretty much all I wear.
6. I have a serious problem resisting bread. (Not the sliced stuff, but the good stuff from the baker.) Oh and lemon cake. And chocolate cake. I love cake – but proper cake. My saving grace here in the UK is that very few people seem capable of making a moist one (except me, my lovely friend Fi – who isn’t baking for the Farmer’s Market any more, but I think is responsible for the cakes at Talgarth Mill Cafe – and the baker at The Old Stables Tea Room here in Hay. Oh, when they warm up that chocolate cake for you??? Heavenly.
7. My favorite color to wear is green….no, make that a soft brown….no, wine. Yes, let’s make that wine, so when I spill…..although, if you look at my closet, I have more black than anything.
How would you fill in the blanks?
Have a fantastic weekend!!!

My favorite thing about this week is: Wednesday. With all 3 kids in CCD mom and dad get a short date night and get to go out for dinner someplace besides Cracker Barrel or Bob Evans.
2. Colder weather makes me crave: my mom’s beef stew, soup, or chicken noodle soup with some nice hot yeast rolls. And maybe a batch of chocolate chip cookies in the oven and hot cocoa.
3. Three things that make me terribly happy as of late are: my crazy busy, over committed family (which I said I would never do, go figure), warm sweatshirts and comfortable jeans, a weekly date night with my hubby.
4. If I could only wear one kind of shoe for the rest of my life, I’d choose: tennis shoes…all different colors and styles.
5. My personality type is Type B. I tend to be a procratinator and don’t really sweat the small stuff. Nobody will remember anyway.
6. I have a serious problem resisting : sweets (all kinds actually). And it’s been a little rough with just having Halloween!
7. My favorite color to wear is: I can’t pick just one. About the only colors I wear are blue, green, and purple….and of course black (but that is the absence of color so it doesn’t count).
