Friday Meme Fun

Good Morning!
  Yes, it's another Saturday morning. Late last night I found another meme I'd like to try.
You can find it @ My Little Life blog on Fridays.


Five Question Friday~

Rules for Five Question Friday: Copy and paste the following questions to your blog post, answer them, then watch for the linky post to appear Friday morning! And most of all, HAVE FUN!!

1. Can you drive a stick shift?

  YES. My husband taught me when we were first married. We have always had a vehicle that is stick (usually what he drives). When I was pregnant with my son, I carried him so low my 3rd trimester that I drove my husband's pickup. I was easier to step up and stretch out than sit down and be smooshed.  
2. What are two foods you just can't eat?
     Beets and sauerkraut.

3. Do you buy Girl Scout Cookies? What is your favorite kind?
    Yes. We live is a small community. Our neighbors have 2 little girls that split  what is ordered. I usually order 8 boxes (they know a sucker when they see one) of the Peanut butter Sandwich cookies. 

4. How do you pamper yourself?
    On occasion, every month or so I will get a pedicure. When I work, I am on my feet 6-12 hours a day, depending on the season. I enjoy sitting in the massage chair just as much as I enjoy the pedicure. 
     Also, when I've had a really LONG week at work, I spend Saturday in my PJ's watching movies all day long. :)

5. What is your nickname and how did you get it?
    Only 2 people call me by a nickname, which is really only my first name and middle name together, Vicki Jean.  My Mother's brothers.

Early Spring ~A Love / Hate relationship~

 Here it is mid February, not that cold weather is past, but hopefully the brutal weather is done. This time of year I have Love / Hate feelings for the weather and what is going on outside. Here in the upper Mid-West the weather can change at the drop of a hat. For instance, today's temperature is suppose to be close 60f (15c). Tomorrow's temperature is suppose to be 32f (0c).

Things I HATE about early Spring~
Vast temperature differences.
Dampness
Cold, rainy days and nights
brown/gray scenery
mud

Things I LOVE about early Spring~
more daylight
birds singing
Days can be warm.
buds on tree limbs and bushes
not wearing a heavy coat
fresh air
hints of green grass

                                                   This is what it looks like outside today.




This is what I'm waiting to see  





Wishing you a great week-end. Hoping  the weather is nice enough that you can get out and enjoy it.
