Chocolate Mint Day

What is the first thing you think of when you hear chocolate mint?

This time of year I immediately thing of Thin Mint Girl Scout cookies. These are my all time favorite. I can not wait till I get some from my cousin. The real challenge will be not eating the whole box in one sitting. Today we are celebrating Chocolate Mint Day. In honor of this day have your favorite chocolate mint treat. I don't have Thin Mints in the house yet but I did come across some mint chocolate chip ice cream in the freezer.

Let me know in the comments what you are celebrating with.

I really hope you all enjoy reading my blog. Please leave comments with suggestions or thoughts.

Week 7 Brainstorm

Another week down and still no new results are being shown on the scale. I am still doing pretty well with my eating habits. I let my diet go a little bit this weekend on Valentines Day and ate some chocolate. I still need to get more workouts in during the week. I am going to brainstorm this week. I want to come up with some really big motivators to help me want this even more. 

I would love to hear your ideas as well. So leave some in the comments if you think you can help.

Proud

This weeks prompt is: Proud. When was the last time someone told you they were proud of you?

I actually received a postcard this week from my mom with her telling me how proud she is of me. It is a really good feeling when someone tells you they are proud of you. I try to make it a habit of telling my daughter that I am proud of her when she does something right or without being asked. It is amazing how fast she learns things now. She never stops surprising me and I am completely proud of her. Make it a goal to tell someone you are proud of them at least once a month. You never know how much it could improve their day.

Share My World Week 7

When was the last time you went to a new place?

I honestly don't remember the last time I went to a new place. I get so used to the places I am used to going when we go out that I never try anything new. I don't travel much either but hopefully I can go to a new place this year.

If you were or are a writer do you prefer writing short stories, poems or novels, other?  And what type of genre would you prefer?

I would write short stories. I always seem to come up with some pretty wacky stories in my head. Whenever I try to put them on paper though I can't figure out the words. If I was to ever write I would probably stick to fiction.

Out of your five senses (touch, taste, sight, smell, hearing) which is your favorite?

Sight is probably my favorite sense. I love being able to see the colors and the different natural land structures.

If 100 people your age were chosen at random, how many do you think you’d find leading a more satisfying life than yours?

I would say at least half. I am happy and satisfied with my life. The one thing that could make it better if finishing college.  A lot of people my age have finished college though and are working on starting there life as an adult. 

Bonus Question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?

This week I am grateful for spending time with my family. This week I am looking forward getting some answers to make me feel better.

Leave your answers to these questions in the comments.
