"I BELIEVE IN PINK! I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles."— Audrey Hepburn

“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Every night, friends. You have done what you could. Let it go.

“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.” ― Ralph Waldo Emerson

Meet Me On Monday!!

It's Time For Another Meet Me On Monday!!!

As Java over at Never Growing Old says:Blogging  is a funny thing...we tell our most intimate thoughts for all to read  and yet most of the time I find myself sitting and wondering, "who is  this person!?"  I know them...but yet I don't know them!  I want  to know who the person is behind all those words so I thought of a great  way for all of us to "meet" each other! 

Every Sunday I will post five get to know you  questions that you can copy and paste into your own Monday post and we  can all learn a little more about each and every one of us!!

"Its a great way to to meet new friends and for others to get to know me better....one Monday at a time!!!"...Sooo...Let's get STARTED!!!
I  will add a linky so we can follow who participates and get to know them  better!!  Be sure to link the POST and not just your whole blog!
Sooo Here goes!








Questions: 

1.  Do you like your ice cream in a dish, waffle cone, pretzel cone, sugar cone or cake cone?  Any one of those appeal but...I'm thinking a pink waffle cone might be good!!



2.  Do you read the newspaper daily? Nope...but if I do, it's on line...

3.  Marinara or meat sauce? Meat sauce for me!! But I like a creamy white sauce on a pink plate actually...


4.  Last time you cried?
Unfortunately this is an easy one...if you look at my past post 
you will see why. Lily was our beloved family pet. Enough said...
5.  What word/phrase do you find really annoying?  "awesome!" It is so over used...and sounds pretty immature coming from some adults...



Time to link up and meet!!

This is a blog hop so if you want to put the linky on your post just click the "Get the Code" at the bottom of the linky.


Your link MUST include your Meet Me On Monday post or it will be deleted!

Also  PLEASE either put the Meet Me On Monday button in your post or link  your post back to me.  I have found several people just posting the  questions and answers in their post and no one knows that they actually  belong to a meme and linky!

    I agree the word awesome is definitely overused.

    Congrats on your 16 years of breast cancer survival. My sister-in-law is on her 16th year as well.

    Sorry about the loss of your Lily. :( We recently lost a pet as well. It is a rough way to start the new year.

    I'm a new follower. Hope you can drop by too! :)

    You know what? I think you're right about "awesome" being annoying. I swear, too many people don't even know its definition, except that it means "cool!" I made my son look it up in the dictionary so he'd know exactly what he means when he describes something as awesome. Incidentally, he doesn't use it nearly as much as he used to. Now I know that when he thinks something is awesome, he really means it!

    Hi kiddo. Every time I see Miss Lily it makes me sad for you, even though I know you're focusing on how much joy she gave you over the years.

    BTW- I tried to hop and I couldn't. I am so frustrated.

    I'm really sorry about Miss Lily -- it's so hard I know having gone through similar moments with much beloved pets. They're family after all.

    And I know what you mean about Awesome - my son uses that one a lot --sigh.

    I'm so sorry about your beautiful, Lily. We got back from a 7 day cruise in Oct., and had to put our Missy to sleep. She was a 16 yr. old pom.
    I am glad to hear you are a cancer survivor. I'm a 2 1/2 yr. tongue cancer survivor.

    Thanks for stopping by and the lovely comments. I'm so sorry to hear about your pup. I'm a dog lover. If I lived alone I would turn my home and property into a doggie rescue. As it is, everyone calls me the 'Nanny' because I doggie sit during the day. Since I'm a writer and work from home I can be available for potty breaks, vet appts, groomers, doggie meds and play time. I love my dog and doggie daycare pups. It's kind of cute. Where ever I go I have a furry entourage.

    Following you now! Thanks for stopping by my blog. I was too late (just getting back from out-of-town) to participate in the Meet on Monday.

    I'm so sorry to hear of your doggie loss. I remember vividly when we lost my furry companion and that was several years ago. I keep a picture of him by my bedside table. We lost one of our kitties suddenly this last year and it was just terrible for our family. Our very last furry kid is being treated right now for cancer. He's on his 4th round and is holding steady. We love him dearly and are hoping for the best. Anyway, I hope you have many many happy memories of Lily and hold them close to your heart for a lifetime. :)
