Hump Day Poll: Your Childhood Go To's

Candy Edition! I was thinking about my Mom's 50th birthday party.  It was a wonderful memory because I worked really hard on it and planned it for 9 months to make it great for her.  Because she didn't have a 25th wedding anniversary, I knew I was going to go all out for her 50th.  I had family, friends, people from high school, co-workers (ones I knew she liked! 😁) and I loved seeing her face when she would see people she hadn't seen in a long time.  One of the biggest hits that people talked about for years after were the retro candy baskets on every table.  I bought ones that I knew were her favorites as well as looking at what were popular at the time.   People lost their minds and were squealing like kids when they saw their favorites. I got all of the candy through Candy Favorites website and it's always so fun to look through. I was perusing the site, I was thinking of what stuff I'd want in the baskets on my table for a party like Mom's: Cher...

On the water

It's Wednesday...hump day-uh!!!!

It's been a kind of emotionally draining 7-10 days and when that happens, I need a bit of a soul recharge in the form of water therapy.  Last night I knew it would probably be my only chance for paddling this week so I asked the Mr if he was down and he was.

He wasn't the only one.  The crew team was also practicing.


Apparently a bunch of sailboats from a marina were out and about as well.


Doesn't this look like an idyllic scene?


I won't tell you I was thinking "how much longer to shore?  I have to piss like a racehorse."  Oops, I guess I just did.

Thankfully when I was making lunch, I decided to brown up the turkey so I'd just have to heat and broil for dinner.


Ground turkey tostadas with black beans, corn and pepper jack.  Yum!

I've got a busy work day ahead of me today so I'm glad I took a little me/us time last night.

How do you recharge your soul when you need it?

  1. It was the perfect day to paddle and now we have a stake in October as well so that's a good thing. We'll take it when we can get it.

  2. Wow, that looks just beautiful! So very peaceful, and I love seeing those sailboats. =o)

    I love my drives in the country for a soul recharge. And when I can't do that, I visualize the North Woods and the sounds and smells of the forest and that helps alleviate stress too.
