2. Something that makes your heart skip a beat?
I'm not sure if this is supposed to be a good thing or a bad thing, but getting calls from my boys give me a split second of panic. They're males, so they don't usually call Mama unless something is wrong.
3. Do you wear your heart on your sleeve or are you more of a closed book? Elaborate.
I'm definitely a "wear my heart on my sleeve" kind of person. My book is wide open! Sometimes that's not such a good thing, but that's how I am.
4. According to Prevention Magazine, these are 25 of the best foods for heart health-
wild salmon, sardines, liver, walnuts, almonds, chia seeds, oatmeal, blueberries, coffee, red wine, green tea, soy milk, dark chocolate, raisins, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, sweet potatoes, whole grains, apples, oranges, grapefruit, avocado, avocado oil, olive oil
Which five do you include in your diet most often? Are there any foods on the list you simply cannot abide?
Include: dark chocolate (so glad that's on the list!), oatmeal, coffee (again, glad that's on the list), apples, olive oil, red wine . Oops...that's six. Think of the wine as a bonus!
EWWWW: Brussels sprouts, sardines. Although I'm told if you cook Brussels sprouts correctly they're very good. I've tried them with friends who promised me they were excellent, and I couldn't take it.
5. What was the last piece of furniture you bought? Is there a piece of furniture you need/want to purchase this year?
Before CH passed away, we bought a lift chair. I guess that counts. Before that, I think it was the couches in our living room. I've been thinking about a nice comfy reading chair for the living room. If anyone has a suggestion, let me know!
6. Insert your own random thought here.
Last week I did something I knew I needed to do: I went away for the night by myself. Some solo travel FB groups suggested starting small...go somewhere close to home, somewhere you feel comfortable. Living so close to the Smoky Mountains, it wasn't very hard to decide where to go. I booked a room in a place where I've wanted to stay since it opened, but the experience wasn't everything I hoped it to be. You can read about it on my Flyin' the Coop blog. Being alone wasn't as weird as some people may think it was so I'd call it a success!
Ahh! I get that feeling when my girls call me, we always stay in touch but it's usually by text message so a call is important. Eek.
ReplyDeleteI love Brussels sprouts but only ever eat them at Christmas. They are delicious if cooked properly.
I'll hop over and read when I leave here. I know brussels are all the rage and I like them okay but I don't love them. Roasted is definitely better than the way I had them as a child, which I guess was boiled. Ick. Girls calling can make your heart skip a beat too. Not so much anymore, but those college years, whew. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteI have to say: if you do brussel sprouts in the air fryer with some olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder, they can be ::chef's kiss::
