ALPHABET SOUP M and N

I needed to be mindless today. I don't have anything brilliant or exciting to talk about, so I thought I would talk about the subject I know best...ME! :) So, here are the things I love for 'M' and 'N.' Notice that I'm even too lazy to go find my little icon. Yeah...it's that kind of day...

M:
MOMMY: I love to hear that word. There is nothing better than to hear Cassie say, "Mommy, I love you!"

MENUS: This might seem weird. I love menus at restaurants and I love making menus. I love sitting down at a restaurant with a plethora of options...do I want steak, chicken, salmon? Do I want broccoli, mashed potatoes, or fries? I can pick whatever suits my fancy. I love making a month-long menu, though this doesn't happen often. There is nothing like looking at your menu and saying, "Tonight I'm having _______. At the start of the month I got everything I needed, so I just have to go in and cook it." Fabulous!

MAKE UP: This might be a surprise, as I often wear little make-up. Other times, I wear more. I never wear foundation and very, very rarely powder. There is something VERY tempting, however, about eye shadows, blushes, bronzers, lip glosses, etc. I have to rush past the make up department when I'm in stores, because I'll inevitably find something that I "need."

MUSIC: Music has always been a huge part of my life. I have always performed (well, until I got married, that is...). I have always loved to sing. I have played at least 8 different instruments that I can think of off of the top of my head. I love music. You might find it interesting, however, that there is typically not music playing in my car. Unless I'm driving on a long trip by myself, the radio is off. If I'm driving long distance by myself, then I need the music to keep me going. By contrast, Mark turns the radio on first thing when he gets in my car. I don't mind his music playing...I just prefer to not have music playing when I'm driving in town and trying to concentrate.

MOON: I'm like a kid. There is something that thrills me and intrigues me about the moon. I love to find it in the night sky and I love to watch it change for night to night.

MORNINGS WITH MY KIDDOS: I am NOT a morning person. There are 2 little reasons that make my morning worth facing: Cassie and Conrey. There is nothing sweeter than a little one in the morning. They always want to cuddle and are so smiley. I LOVE it!

MANICOTTI: One of my favorite Italian dishes. I LOVE a good manicotti with the perfect ratio of pasta, cheeses, and sauce. YUM!

N:
NACHOS: I LOVE nachos! I love the kind you get at a circus, fair, ballgame, etc. I love just chips with shredded cheese that you melt (with garlic salt...yum!). I love nachos.

NICKELODEON: I grew up as a product of Nickelodeon. I loved all of the shows. I loved the fact that there was always a channel with shows for me to watch. I loved people getting slimed.

NECKLACES: I love wearing necklaces, though I rarely do any more. I have had too many broken in these early stages of motherhood that I have retired them for the time being. I just always feel like the right necklace completes an outfit and makes me feel finished.


Well, I have wracked my brain and cannot come up with any other 'Ns.' If I come up with any more, I'll add, but for now, that's my list. :)
