I haven't been to Rome, but I sure would like to see it! I don't think I'd go there as my sole destination, but my dream would be a Mediterranean cruise that included Rome.
I think it applies to weight loss and fitness. I remember reminding myself when trying to get back in shape after having babies that it took me nine months to gain that weight, and it would take some time to get it off. I kind of feel the same way about trying to lose weight and get in shape now. I didn't gain it all in a day! The saying might also apply to some of the projects that I tend to procrastinate on, such as cleaning up my desk or altering my chorus costume. I have a habit of putting off getting started on things like that if I don't think I'll be able to finish the project in one sitting. Not the best strategy, I know.
3. Let's do a little this or that with some Italian foods . . .
- Caprese salad or Prosciutto with melon?
- Bruschetta or Antipasto?
- lasagne or ravioli?
- bolognese or Carbonara?
- Risotto or gnocchi?
- tiramisu~gelato~cannoli?
Prosciutto with melon, please. Hmm, I'll have the Bruschetta. Very tough decision because I love both lasagne and ravioli, but if I have to choose . . . lasagne. Here's an easy one - Carbonara! Another easy one - I love gnocchi! For dessert . . . I like all three but I'm especially fond of tiramisu. As it happens, we're going to Olive Garden with friends for Sunday lunch, so this got me started thinking about my choices!
In my home, I think green is slightly more prevalent than red. Both colors are used as accents, so it's kind of a toss-up, but I think green wins. For my wardrobe, I don't have a lot of it, but red would be most flattering and I certainly have a lot more red than either white or green! I have a couple of white t-shirts that I almost never wear, and one cream colored dress that I wear only for special occasions, so white ain't it for me! I haven't ever had my colors done by an expert, but I remember studying the color charts and all way back in the late 80s and early 90s when it was a very popular thing. I suppose I'd be game to get my colors done now, by someone who knows what they are doing!
Kids. Music. Laughter.
Who else found their vehicle covered with "dirty rain" or "dirty snow" on Friday? Yuck! It's just weird that I don't remember that happening before - at least not the dirt being picked up several states away and then RAINED onto us. I wanted to get my car washed earlier but the car wash places have long lines - go figure! - so I guess I'll put it off until Thursday or Friday.
I have never been a fan of Daylight Saving Time. I hate it slightly less vehemently in the fall, but I still think it is a silly thing and we should just get rid of it. I know there's pros and cons as far as going to work or school when it's still dark and all of those things, but I think overall we'd be better off without having to do the twice yearly switcheroo.
What are your thoughts on any of these questions? Leave a comment and let me know!
I wonder if we'll ever stick to just one time. I know some states have done away with it but it seems to keep hanging on in general. No dirty snow here. We will be dealing with yellow cars soon though as the pollen kicks in and is insane. Hope you have a great day!
ReplyDeleteThe discussions about ending DST always seem to fizzle. Apparently Elon Musk floated the question recently and he seems to get stuff done, so who knows. It's hardly the biggest problem this country has to deal with! Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
DeleteI feel tired with DST! I wake up from a sound sleep at my alarm. I haven't heard of dirty rain! Gaining weight seems to be much easier than losing it. At least for me!
ReplyDeleteGaining weight is unfortunately easier than losing it for most of us. It just seems to take such a long time to lose it that it's discouraging. Thanks for stopping by and commisserating with me!
DeleteI don't think we have ever had dirty rain nor dirty snow! We have LOTS of pollen. Everything will be covered with yellow pollen - outdoor furniture, cars, sidewalks -- when it rains, there will be little yellow rivers running down the street!
ReplyDeleteA lot of us thought the dirt on our cars was pollen at first, but it definitely is not. That will be the next thing though. At least I'm familiar with that issue! Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
DeleteI hope they get rid of DST someday. I know there are color schemes and in the 70's it was gold, green and orange/yellow. I have always used beige, brown and white. I also like black. I also decorate seasonally. You have a good plan for your weight loss. Better to do it slowly. I think I have heard of dirty rain. We are getting a lot of rain now and we need it!
ReplyDeleteI also hope that DST will someday go away. Just a matter of how soon. I used to use golds and browns in my wardrobe more, but once I let my hair go silver, browns are not right for me at all! Good old black never lets me down, so my wardrobe is a lot of black and blue. LOL Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
DeleteOh yes, I'd be perfectly happy to stop this silly hour change every spring and fall too! I have never seen dirty rain like that before; that is so weird. It really is such a struggle to shed pounds.. even giving up all processed foods I haven't seen the scale budge at all.
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to projects I'm the same as you, I want to get then completed all in one go. I have to quite often remind myself that some progress is better than none. I like your life would be boring without answer, they are all essential.
ReplyDeleteI just answered a survey yesterday about daylight savings, I don't feel strongly about it either was but do undertstand the frustrations surrounding it. Have a lovely weekend.
The daylight savings back and forth is something I too would like to see gone. We just got a lot of dirty snow yuck off our car. That is weird to have dirty rain. I'm in the trying to drop pounds phase again. I was alarmed at how low my license said I weighed. :) ! Happy Hodgepodge to you!
ReplyDeleteI grew up in Indiana which didn't have DST. (It does now but didn't the entirety of my life that I lived there (23 years).) It was so strange to deal with it when I moved to Ohio! I don't like it one bit! Enjoyed reading your answers. I'd love to go on a cruise, too, to Europe and see different countries easily.
