Oh Nuts

Several weeks ago I was doing another round of scrolling through Pinterest looking for more blog prompts/ideas to write about or get ideas from. And one of the prompts that I came across was in a month-long challenge for the month of February. Since there were several prompts that involved the topic of love, because of Valentine's Day, I decided to write down a few of them. One of the questions that I wrote down is "How Do You Show Love?" Instead of trying to come up with an entire post just on how I show love, what I did is I shared this question on social media so that people could respond. And here are the responses that I received to this question. "Through my actions towards someone." "Small Comforts." "Entertain others, care for my legacy."

Instead, I decided to let the following responses that I received to the question to the talking. Photo by  moren hsu  on  Unsplash Brooklyn - "I would change the enforcement of test lol. Why? Because it’s a waste of time. Instead, there should be more class discussion to test the knowle...

Amanda from Books, Roses and Wine...(oh my!) nominated me for the Liebster award. Since I don't remember what this particular award is, so here are the questions that were given to me that I had to answer. 1. If you had a sitcombased on your life, what would it be called?  It would most likely be called "My Boring Life." 2. What food is on the top of your list of things you will never, ever, in a million years eat, and why?  Mushrooms, because they sound  gross,  slimy, and disgusting, so I wouldn't eat them. 3. It's your wedding and your maid-of-honor got appendicitis at the last minute and can't fill in.  Who would you pick to replace her?  (Does not have to be a real person)  Benedict Cumberbatch, which would make for a very interesting and funny reception. 4. A fairy pops up and says that you will be cursed to live in a musical for the rest of your life.  She's nice though, and allows you to choose which musical.  What one woul...
