It's National Croissant Day!
Why not stop by the bakery for a fresh, warm croissant, or even try making your own!

Otherwise … let's play the Medley!

Terri says she loves croissants when they are fresh -- but day-old croissants need to be turned into a donut. She happens to really like those that have a donut-like glaze on them. Sugar overload, but so good! She asks, do you like croissants? What is your favorite way to eat them?
Not particularly. Maybe because I enjoy savory foods, I find croissants to be bland, uninteresting. Could be, I'm doing it all wrong … I'm open to suggestions!
Speaking of food … how do you handle stress?
Yes, I'm an emotional eater. The first thing that popped in my mind was a big ole porterhouse steak I can grind and gnash.
Out of the negative emotions of greed, anger, jealousy and hate, which one would you say affects you the most?
While they all jostle for popularity out on Facebook - even the evening news - I'd say hate. It's increasingly difficult to contain my fear and anger when I witness the depravity and venom which exists in today's world.
Out of the positive emotions of compassion, positivity, enthusiasm and initiative, which one is your biggest strength?
With a little help from my friends (*wink*), I'm going with positivity. There is always something for which to be grateful.
What do you get every time you go grocery shopping, other than the staples such as bread, milk, butter, flour, sugar …
Sharp cheddar, eggs, ground chuck (aka, loose meat), Cabernet. Color me, predictable!
Please tell us something random about your week so far.
Well, darn. I was hoping to share a picture of this morning's falling snow, but it just didn't happen. One of our meteorologist's Facebook posts cracked me up!
I did, however, score pretty darn well at an estate sale yesterday!
So ironic. I've never given a rat's *** mind to designer labels or piles of clothes. No lie. Including my mud boots, I own 5 pair of shoes and 2 pair of serviceable slacks. I've never been bitten by the retail therapy bug … but neither can I resist a bargain!
Only $8 for this cozy sweater!
and!
$6, 50-cents for this suit ... new with tags!
(I gasped when I returned home and read the tag carefully! Suppose I should try and sell it out on ThredUp?)
I'm not excited to bid Tom's adieu for a few days' vacay, but I'm thrilled to welcome Debbie on Thursday! (Our favorite sport is eating out!) I'm going to do my best to keep in touch with everyone, but it may be sporadic.
Please have yourselves a great rest of the week … and don't forget to tread safely!
Hugs,
Myra
