TMST #2: Summer Job

Hello all. This week's topic - Tell us about the best summer job you've had.

In my case this is kind of a trick question/topic. All of my jobs were working with food. While the tasks weren't difficult, dealing with customers often was a bit challenging. Not exactly the most exciting answer, but there you have it.

Until next week...

WWBC #18: Fictional Character I'd Love to Meet and Why

 

 Hello. I hope this posts finds you well.

My answer to this week's challenge is ....

Batman

If he actually existed that would be mean that the "Bat Family" and Justice League does as well. I would ask if Batman if he would be willing to train me and join him in his mission. I would most likely get a no, but there you have it.

WWBC #17 : Favorite Outdoor/Nature Activities

 

Hello all. 

 I was a little late to post this week's blogging challenge. 

So my favorite outdoor/nature activities include Volleyball. Growing my family and I would play Volleyball on the Fourth of July. 

On the occasion that I would travel up north for the weekend, I would spend a few hours on a pantoon boat with other relatives. 

So once more, this post didn't turn out how I would have liked, but there you have it.

See you all next week.

 Welcome back all. Yay!!! A Weekly Blogging Challenge for a second week in a row. That doesn't happen for me that often.

WWBC #15: TV Shows I Binge Watch(ed)

 Hello All ! I hope this post finds you well.

I am excited to post about the shows that I binge watch(ed). 

In no particular order:

• Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D (once network now Netflix)
• Derry Girls (Netflix)
• Schitts Creek (via Netflix)
• The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (Amazon)
• Lucifer (not sure if it's a good idea considering the main character)
• Miranda (via Hulu)
• Rush (via Amazon)

I'm curious. Would the variation in show genres say something about my personality?

This post didn't turn out exactly how I would have liked, but until next time...

WWBC #14: Something I Collected as a Child

Hello again.

While it wasn't while I was a child I used to collect stickers. I started in 11th grade and only lasted about three years at most. I got the idea from my friend in high school.

I have contributed to my sister's pez dispenser collection back in the early to mid 90's. I actually have that particular collection since. Why? No clue.

My mother has an angel collection that I absolutely love.

That is it for this week's challenge.

June's Singlesswag Unboxing

At least I think it is June's box.  

Anyway, for your viewing pleasure ....

I just added the items that need to be open to see what it was.

WWBC #8: My Silliest Pet Peeves

I hope this week's WWBC post finds you safe.

I actually have two pet peeves.

I used to work in a couple sandwich shops. One topping was banana peppers. Customers often call banana peppers "peppercinis", saying that the two were the same. The two peppers actually are not the same.

Banana peppers are yellow.
Peppercinis are light (at least) green. They are slightly spicier than Banana peppers

My second pet peeve is the one that actually makes me cringe. I can't stand it when people pronounce Italian as "Eye-talian". The reason why is simple. The name of the country is not "Eye-taly".

There you have my pet peeves. See you all next week.

Singles Swag Unboxing for January

Yes, it's that time of the month. 

January's Singlesswag Unboxing

Here we go!

This is the second time I received theses two items, and I loved them the first time.

Definitely Rich

I may be a nerd, but I think the bottle  is as cool as the necklace itself.

I don't usually wear lip gloss, but I'll make an exception.

I could actually use this.

Okay, I'll try these two.

Nice!

Singles Swag Unboxing for August

I got is idea from my friend at Lampshade Reader .

I subscribed to a monthly box. I decided to make this kind of blog entry in order to have non-book related posts in my blog. Single Swag is .... well self-explanitory.

Without further ado ....

On the lid: Monarch Bloom necklace/earrings combo with pouch

Article of Clothing: "One in a Melon" socks

Edible Item: gluten free popcorn
- I didn't know what to expect. To my surprise, this popcorn had a slight sweet taste.

Beauty Items:

- bodywash infused buffer

- powder-cream

Finally: a book by Jen Sincero

(Okay, this Month's box is a little book-related.)

Solo Artist Exhibition: Dreamscapes

Every artist wants and hopes the pieces that they create are unique. I may be a bit bias, but I believe that the work of this particular artist is unique. She uses material that I never saw any other artist use.

Cathy Jacobs's solo art exhibition included this piece entiled "Eugenie Loops" was on display.

I first noticed the hollowed out circles. When I saw the title, I had planned on asking Cathy if the piece and any relation to our grandmother. Before I had the chance, however, I looked  back and saw images of Grandma in the piece. I love Cathy's style, but because the images of the woman was the reason this was my favorite piece in this exhibition.
