A Little Tuesday Fun

 

            Yesterday was one of those perfect gray days. It wasn’t so long ago that gray days didn’t feel perfect to me, but watching the rain fall on the water makes it so much more palatable.

            Even so, who couldn’t use a little fun on a gray day? I thought we might play a little game of this or that today. Which one would you choose?

Waffles or pancakes? I am unlikely to turn down either one. But if I have both in front of me, I’m probably going to pick waffles, because who doesn’t love drizzling syrup over squares? Waffles feel like fancy food to me.

Hiking or bonfires? I’m not sure it’s possible to choose between them. Hiking by day and bonfire by night! Ryan and I haven’t gotten to do much hiking this year, but we have some plans for one coming up soon. I love exploring hiking trails, though. I love seeing all the pretty scenery that is different on every single trail we take. And I do love a gorgeous bonfire at night, especially if there are s’mores!

Marshmallows or whipped cream? Whipped cream! That’s an easy one for me. Hot chocolate with whipped cream is one of my favorite things about cold weather. I’m not ready to let go of summer just yet, but I do love a good cup of cocoa with whipped cream!

Socks or slippers? I have some slippers on my wish list, but socks every day all day for me. That’s a fun fact about me. I am never without socks unless I’m showering.

Pearls or diamonds? I’m probably too frugal for either. Of course I love my diamond in my wedding ring, but that’s about the end of it on fancy jewelry for me. I do wear (genuine imitation) pearls in my second ear piercings. That’s an every day thing for me.

Roses or daisies? I love all flowers, but nothing makes me melt inside quite as much as when Ryan gives me roses. One of my favorite things to get. He can skip pearls AND diamonds in favor of roses!

Scarf or beanie? I wear a lot of scarves in the winter, but I have never been one to pull off the look of a beanie (or any other hat) unless I’m out in the elements. I know some girls can wear hats of any and every kind all day long and look adorable, but I’ve never mastered it. I should figure it out. Might save me some hair-doing time!

Hayride or haunted house? Easy one. Hayride. I don’t do scary things, and I do love a hayride in the fall. It’s all part of the fall experience, right?

Dine in or takeout? Depends on the day! I really love going out on the town with Ryan and enjoying a meal in a restaurant, but if it’s been a long, hard week, and we’re tired, I really love picking up a pizza and eating at home in my jammies. And socks. With genuine imitation pearls in my ears.

Long walks or bike rides? I love riding bikes, but we tend to do walks more often now that we have Lexi. She isn’t big enough to keep up with us on a bike ride, and she’s too energetic to enjoy riding in a chariot behind a bike. So we’ve moved to walking for the time being. And that girl would walk 100 miles a day if we’d let her. She doesn’t care how hot or cold it is outside. If we didn’t monitor that for her, she’d go out ALWAYS.

Books or podcasts? Even though I love media and podcasting, I gravitate more toward reading than listening.

Calls or texts? TEXTS. ALL DAY LONG. I’ve learned that over time, I’ve become less of a fan of phone calls and more of a fan of texting. (This was a topic of discussion at a meeting I attended last night. We saw a divide in ages on this one!)

So how about you? Any preferences in this list? Happy Tuesday, friends. I hope you have a beautiful day and some sweet fun to propel you!
