Tuesday Meme on a Sunday...

 Good morning from a balmy Florida. I do believe summer is upon us here. I let the dog out at 12:30 last night and it was 85*. Just plain ick.

Welcome to Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4.

Let's talk about you personally.

1. Do you pamper yourself at all? Pamper? Like get nails or spa day. Nope. If yes, how do you do that? It would be nice to get my nails done professionally, but simply put, can't afford it. I know there are people at work who do and pay close $150. No thanks. I can think of better ways to spend money.

2.What kinds of foods/dishes do you consider to be a real treat? Donuts. Donuts are a treat. We get donuts twice a month. Yesterday we got Raspberry filled aka Jelly. 

3. What luxury item/items do you consider would be very hard to do without? (like buying books, having your hair done... just about anything you really could do without but prefer not to.)

Since moving back here, I have had to change my whole routine of not buying generic hair products. I now invest in good haircare products (because of the humidity) of Paul Mitchell Awaphui shampoo and conditioner, Sebastian Potion #9 for leave in conditioner and Paul Mitchell Ginger hairspray. I still use Dove soap and Jergens lotion. I also get my hair done/trimmed every 4 weeks. Speaking of which, I will prob. go today as the guy who cuts my hair is only in on Sundays. 

Books--I love books. Prob, could do without, but I love them. Because when the electrical grid and war breaks out etc. I will have books to read LOL.

4. What kind of holiday or vacation would be a total luxury with which you might pamper yourself?

Anytime we can get to the beach. Just sit there and do nothing, not have to worry about hair, makeup, what kind of clothes to wear (getting dressed for work) etc. Just put on that bathing suit, cover, ball cap and go. The sand and water do wonders for my arthritic feet. Not to mention allergies...just breathing in the salt air does wonder for one's mind and soul.

Yesterday we stopped at the church yard sale and bought a mattress cover for our bed. Brand new still in the bag for $2.50. Yep, read that right. My husband also bought a pickaxe head for the handle for $5. We also stopped here and there at antique stores and junk stores. We were home by 1. It just was too hot. Now that the real warm humid weather is here, time to change things around. Not that really matters, as it stays this way even late into the evening. But it does mean changing the way/what one eats and drinks.

Hodgepodging...

 

Hodgepodge into May...I will answer the Tuesday Meme Questions tomorrow.

1. Mayday! Mayday!...when was the last time (or a recent time) you literally or figuratively needed to call for help? Elaborate. 

We have been getting some really 'jacked' up Commitment Papers from the courts. So, yeah, I gave in and asked for help from my boss, who was more than happy to help. I had to make several phone calls this past week to Sheriff Depts. and even the courts seeking clarification.

2. May Day...when was the last time you danced? I don't dance. So, it's been a while. 

Do you have a lot of baskets? Yes. What's something you keep in a basket? I keep books, glass flowers, towels. What's your favorite purple flower? Lavender

3. What's something you may do this month? 

My husband actually just suggested I take a couple of days off and go to the beach. I know the calendar at work is booked for Memorial Day with folks taking off for the long 3-day weekend...so maybe the middle of the month.

4. Do you like eggplant? EWWWW Quick topic changes lol? If you said yes in answer to the eggplant question how do you like yours prepared? Of the following purple foods, which one is your favorite...plums, purple carrots, purple asparagus, eggplant, acai berries, blackberries, purple cauliflower, elderberries, purple potatoes, or passion fruit? I like all that were mentioned.

5. The calendar turns on Hodgepodge Day...

"Then you have to remember to be thankful; but in May one simply can't help being thankful that they are alive, if for nothing else."-L.M. Montgomery

Tell us one thing you're thankful for today. 

A home...but it's getting harder to just live/get by with the cost of everything going up.

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

I am awaiting the hubby to get done with his coffee, we are going to head out to soon. There is a huge yearly yard sale/gymnasium sale at a local church by our old high school. Have a great day all.
