Fill in the blank

I am participating in Lauren's Fill in the Blank Friday again.  Can I just say that I love filling in the blanks?  I could fill in blanks all day long.

1. Winter is cozy.  I don't love the cold much, but I do love the change in seasons, and I love to see the big fat flakes falling while I am cozy and warm inside.


2. Summer is the best.  I love sunshine, and especially sunshine when it is warm enough to feel it on your back, bare legs tingling in the heat.  Everyone seems happier in the summer.


3. If it were summer instead of winter right now I'd be at the pool with my kids.  Watching them jump and attempt new tricks and splash and laugh and play.  I'd be eating a nice cold sandwich and some perfectly ripe fruit, drinking a nice cold glass of ice water, and beating my sister in a word game.


4. My favorite thing to do in winter is definitely a cross between watching it all from the warmth of my house and participating in the fun.  Sleigh riding with the kids is so awesome.  There's nothing sweeter than the sounds  of the happy, joyful screams of kids echoing down the hills. 


5. My favorite thing to do in summer is to spend the days with my kids, enjoying the sunshine.  I especially like a good BBQ, and love that we can grill every night.




6. The ideal outfit for a sunny summer day is a light pair of capris and a t-shirt, ballet flats and sunglasses.


7. The ideal outfit for a frigid winter day is yoga pants, fuzzy slippers and a couple of good warm layers on top.  Of course this involves staying inside though.

Fill in the Blank Friday

Linking up to Lauren's Fill in the Blank Friday.  Where you kind of just fill in the blanks to the prompts she gives you.  Then link back of course.  Well, I'm in!  You should check it out.  Because why not?  And it's fun.  And we're all fun.  Right?  And you know, you can find out some interesting things about people.




1. New Year's is honestly just another day to me.  I believe it is one of my least favorite holidays.


2. Last New Year's Eve I was at this cool old resort with my whole big family, listening to a cover band.  The band invited Kara to sing with them, and my Meg thought it was the coolest thing ever to stay up til midnight.  Until midnight happened and it occurred to her that it was just another moment in time. 




3. My New Year's resolution is for tomorrow's post. :)




4. The best way to spend New Year's Eve is with family and friends in a low-key environment.


5. My prediction for an up-and-coming trend in 2011 is green, green and more green.  I love it.


6. This New Year's Eve I will be staying in with family at home, eating takeout and watching movies.  The host of the party we were supposed to be going to isn't feeling well, so the party was cancelled.  To be perfectly honest, I am really happy to watch the ball drop in my PJ's on the couch.


7. A fresh start is always nice.  Kind of like a Monday.  Feels good to know though, that you can have a fresh start whenever you want, regardless of the day of the year.
