“Ask, Seek, Give; Love living life!”

It’s now my turn to pick five lucky bloggers to share their Six Word Memoir. I pick Preschool Mama, Lynn at the Little Hungry Caterpillar, Susan of Nutrition Fitness Life, Cathy, the Chief Family Officer, and Diane the Scale Junkie! Are you ready ladies? Here are the rules:

Have fun!!

What I enjoy most about the holiday is the relaxed nature of hanging out with family. Due to all that pre-planning, I typically have a free day to savor the moment and experience the true meaning of Thanksgiving! We are so blessed to have each other. Thanksgiving is definitely my favorite holiday!

Mid-Morning: Bananas and Apples

Mid-Day: Graham Crackers and Animal Crackers

Evening: Ice Cream and Popcorn

Evenings are my arch nemesis. I always fall for the sweet stuff especially when Ice Cream is involved. Blue Bell arrive two years ago in Nashville, TN, and I love all their flavors!!! When they go on sale, I stock up. Yeah, I know if it weren’t in the house, then I wouldn’t eat it, but how can I not have ice cream in the house?!

Popcorn has become my new default evening treat. I found out that I can put a scoop of uncooked kernels in a brown paper lunch bag, place it in the microwave and hit the Popcorn button. It’s cheaper and much healthier than the Microwave Popcorn Bags. I’ve been hooked ever since. I did have to buy a Cheesy Popcorn flavoring and add a little bit of butter to flavor the Popcorn, but it’s been great!

Grey’s Anatomy
Heroes
House
Dancing With the Stars

New Shows I’m giving a chance are Bionic Woman and Private Practice.

I love the fact that shows can be viewed online. I’m not bound to the times they air and I get to avoid the commercials!!! Although, Fox (House) doesn’t have online viewing, so I have to dedicate an hour on Tuesdays to the Ornery Guy! What are your favorite TV Shows of the Fall Season?

Fun and Educational Family Travel Tips

1. I enjoy cooking from scratch. Cakes, pies, breads and anything I find interesting in the cookbooks. I’m also a full butter and sugar user for good ol’ fashioned recipes. I rarely find a substitution that equates to the full flavor of the ingredients used by my grandmother and generations past.

2. I lived in Salamanca, Spain for a month. As part of a foreign language exchange, I lived with a local family, attended a class and visited Toledo, Madrid, Barcelona (my favorite city), and other small towns along the western boarder of Spain.

3. My son was born in a Japanese birthing clinic. My first born experience was fantastic. The clinic was like a little Bed and Breakfast. After his birth, the staff brought in a hairdresser to do all the women’s hair. They provided gourmet food. My husband was jealous. The rooms were little havens filled with flowers, natural light and nicely decorated. It was first class service.

4. I am a Flylady Flybaby. I discovered Flylady about four years ago. I absolutely love her Control and Holiday Journals. I haven’t yet mastered the day to day routines she has in place, but I do get dressed to the shoes on most days and the bed is made everyday.

5. I took ballroom dance lessons in college. I had a grand time learning all the different dances from the witty, little instructor. Her favorite stories were about the times she taught Fred Astair!

6. I ran the 1999 Marine Corps Marathon in a little over five hours. I promised myself then I would never run a marathon again. Here I am now, planning to run a half-marathon in April 2008 and probably pursuing the full marathon a year later! Crazy, I know.

7. In the Navy, my favorite job was Strike Officer. I was in charge of Tomahawk strike teams and the division handling the Vertical Launch System.

8. I stood on stage in Broadway during a Cats performance. I performed in theater throughout high school and in college. I was thrilled to be able to go on stage during the intermission of the Broadway performance. It just sounds neat! I was on stage in Broadway!

The Diet Pulpit
Finding Flabuless
Big Slice of Life: Small Slice of Cheesecake
Tea Party Girl
Fathered Five

Big Chain Take Outs: Papa John’s Original Mushroom (I think this is just a reminder of those good ol’ college days)!

Local Pizza Joint: Sicily Pizza Inc. Greek Style (I love the feta cheese/spinach combination toppings).

Store Bought: DiGiorno’s Supreme Pizza (add rosemary, oregano and a dash of garlic powder–Yummy).

Child Made: Biscuits flattened with a little sauce and their imaginations for toppings (we always have fun with these)!

When I find DiGiorno’s on sale, we stock up. At $3.99 a pizza that tastes great, I have to say it’s our favorite. Dinner for four with a soup or salad added to the meal and we have spent less than $2.00 a person!

What’s your Favorite Pizza?
