Monday Question

I did a "question of the day" on another blog for several years. That has since been taken over by a friend of mine when I decided to stop. I still answer his question every day that I can, but am glad to not be writing them every day there.

I would like to start that in this blog now. Today's question has a few parts to it, just to kick things off!

You are having a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch today. Crunchy or smooth peanut butter? What kind of jelly or jam do you use? Most importantly, will you cut your sandwich? How will you cut it - in triangles or in half up and down?

Here's how I make my sandwich:

Smooth peanut butter (always!), strawberry jam and I cut my sandwich in half up and down. My kids prefer grape jelly and the sandwiches cut in triangles. I cut their sandwiches my way one day and they had a fit, LOL!

a brief update

First, the vanilla cream filled chocolate mini cupcakes with dark chocolate buttercream frosting I made for a birthday at work last week (and the new mini cupcake stand I got for half price!).

Second, the VERY rich chocolate chip cookie dough brownies I made mid-week. These are a definite "make again", maybe for a picnic so they're not just sitting around at my house all week. Recipe for brownies and ganache courtesy of Bakerella (You can find her on my "blogs I read" section).

Third, just a quick shot of something completely different.

tagged

I was tagged by MomVader to do this meme.

The rules of this tag are quick & easy:
1. Go to the the 4th folder where you keep your pictures on your computer.
2. Post the 4th picture in the folder.
3. Explain the photo.
4. Tag 4 fellow bloggers to join in the fun!


Here it is:

That is a photo of the new business cards I received in the mail this past February. Each one has a photo that I have taken on them. They are from moo.com (I SO love that website name!).

Oh, and I'm not tagging anyone. If you want to do it, feel free to do so!

Now with less hair!

Just a quick post with a picture I snapped when I got home earlier! It will take a lot of getting used to but it's exactly what I wanted. I have to not brush my neck next time I brush my hair - that wasn't very pleasant, LOL.

12 inches.

After over a year of not getting my hair cut, I am getting 12 inches of hair cut off tomorrow afternoon. I'm excited, but also wicked nervous about it. Having my hair/head touched gives me the heebie jeebies something fierce, so this is not an easy thing for me to do.

Here is the "before" shot, taken tonight. Please ignore the saggy baggy jeans. They look much better first thing in the morning, when they're not all stretched out from standing/sitting/standing/etc.

Wish me luck!
