2. What's a favorite 'green space' in the town, state, or province where you live?

I am surrounded green where I live. We live in Berks County farm country.  

3. Do you wish you were taller, shorter, or think you're just about right in the height department?

I am 5'2" and think I am just right in the height department. Now I could use a few inches in the boob department.

4. What's the surest way for someone to pick a fight with you?

 Youth hockey games are so easy to pick a fight with the opposing team. All I have to do is say "Are you kidding me Ref?! That kid should be in the penalty box!" Parents from the other team go BERSERK! HAHA!

5. Broccoli-Spinach-String Beans-Peas...of the four, your favorite green veg? (Or the one you dislike the least if that first option's too hard. I just know there's some veggie haters out there.)

I love them ALL. Grow them in my garden too.

6. March is National Women's History Month...besides friends, neighbors and the women you're related to, who's a woman in history you admire and why?

Eleanor Roosevelt. She spent a lifetime fighting for human rights.  

7. Keep Calm and ____________on.

You fill in the blank.

Considering it IS St Patrick's Day... I'd say DRINK ON!!! Pass the whisky please!

8. Insert your own random thought here.
When you think of March 17, you almost surely will think of beer, and when you think of someone Irish, you probably think of beer and pubs as well. But, in the history of Ireland, beer wasn’t always a given on this widely-celebrated day. in 1903, a member of the Irish parliament, James O’Mara introduced a new bill that called to recognize St. Patrick’s Day as a religious observation in Ireland. However, because this was made a law, this meant that all of the local pubs had to close; therefore, no beer was readily available. So for 67 years, the Irish suffered through a total shut down of all pubs until 1970 when the law was overturned and the holiday was no longer a religious observance, but a national holiday.

Sick Day

Working with children in my home does not always allow for me to take sick days.  When I have a common cold or allergies, I have to suck it up and use whatever energy I have to take care of the precious ones.

I must have been exposed to pollen or weeds. For the last 5 days I have had problems with hayfever.  Splitting headache, sneezing, runny nose, congestion, sinus pressure, ears clogged, soar throat and just down right miserable.   Forgive me for not blogging recently.  Thinking a little bit is hard to do right now.

I have tried different allergy medicines along with a nasal spray.  A friend also recommended taking Airborne.  I have tried most of the over-the-counter medications.  I don't have an infection (yet) so a doctor wont give me any medication.  UGH!

 
What do you do when your allergies flare up?  I am desperate and will try anything!

Spanx

Have you heard about this product called Spanx?  

It's anamazing invention by Sara Blakely that has turned her into an overnight sensation when Oprah Winfrey announced this product as one of her favorite items.  Recently Sara was listed as the youngest woman to join the Forbes list of Billionares.

What makes this product a sensation?

Most undergarments are uncomfortable and bulky, show panty-lines, are too thick, stop at the thigh and show bulges through clothing.

 According to Spanx's website, it is a body shaping undergarment unlike most undergarments.

They have body shapers, bras, under garmets, bathing suits and more that give you the perfect amount of support in a comfortable way.  So comfortable that you will forget you are wearing it.

It is pricy.

I wonder, is the cost is worth looking slimmer?
