Little did I know that today was National Almond day. My goodness, I suppose there is a day for everything. Joyce's questions are a bit nutty today and a whole lot of fun. Enjoy!
2. Something you are currently 'nuts' about?
One year ago this month I became a fan of nutritional shakes and I have long lost count of how many of them I have consumed this past year. They are soooo good and generally are my lunch. I live about 3 miles from one of the nutrition shake and tea shops and it takes me no time to go over and get back home with it. How awesome that they only have 200 - 250 calories and have so many healthy ingredients in them. It's a "win win" for sure!
3. Something currently driving you 'nuts'?
The state of our country. It saddens me to think of the division, the lack of leadership, and are we so far gone to ever recover. I just remind myself that "what is out of our control is under HIS rule."
4. Something you recently bought for 'peanuts'?
Greeting cards are sooooo expensive and I love sending cards. A while back a friend of mine told me about the Hallmark cards at Dollar Tree. They are supposedly a lower quality than regular Hallmark but I truly do not see that. They have some lovely cards and they are $1.25 each, no matter the size. That is a far cry from the $4.95 and up for most cards. I generally go at the end of the month and buy the cards I will need for the following month. And, I pick up some sympathy, get well and thinking of you cards while I'm there. Yes, the cost is pretty much peanuts comparatively speaking.
5. Share a favorite quote uttered by any U.S. President ( if you're not an American, a quote made by the leader of your own country).
I've always liked this quote from dear ole Abe.
6. Insert your own random thought here.

Joining up with Bev today for the Sunday Stealing questions It's always a lot of fun and hope you enjoy it too.
Oh, my goodness, the grilled cheese sandwich has gone to a whole new level in recent years and while I've always liked grilled cheese, I LOVE a grilled cheese with bacon, pimento cheese and just about anything else you can think of to add.
2. Something you own that you really should throw out.
I would imagine there are several items that I should throw out but I immediately thought of the big container of my Dad and Mom's love letters. My Daddy gave these to me after Mom died 13 years ago. They were written while my Daddy was in the Navy and my Mom was awaiting his return. I can get rid of stuff fairly easily but, I just cannot seem to part with these. I know that, when I am gone, my children will not want these but I'm afraid they will have to be the ones to throw them out. Something about them being handwritten and it being their only form of communication at that time, just adds to the sentimentality of them.
3. The scariest animal
4. Apples or oranges
I'm not a big fan of either one but if I have to choose, it would definitely an apple.
5. Have you ever tried to get an autograph from someone?
6. What happens when you die?
Thankfully, because I know Jesus Christ as my Savior, I will enter heaven's gates the second I draw my last earthly breathe. All will be peace and rest forevermore as I, and all others that know Him, live eternally with our Savior. There's no better assurance!!!
7. Favorite Action movie
I do not care for action movies and not sure I have ever even seen one. If I have, I have completely forgotten it.
Hands down, aisle! It's more convenient and should I need to make a quick "get away" it would sure be easier.
9. Favorite smell
10. Your most popular app on your phone.
I have several popular apps but Amazon was the first one that came to my mind. It's truly a bit insane how quickly you can find and order an item from Amazon. And, while the shipping is not always as quick as it once was, it's still really fast.
11. Least favorite smell.
My least favorite smell would be garbage. Oh, my goodness! Hubby and I likely have the neatest garbage of anyone. I NEVER put food scrapes straight into the garbage, I always tie it up in another tiny garbage bag before throwing it in the big garbage bag. This definitely cuts down on the smell for us.
12. Cats or dogs?
I'm not a big fan of either but Ruby (show above) is our son's family dog and how could you not love something this cute! She is a Cavapoo and of course, she's just a few months old, and she is giving her family a "run for her money." We will all be glad when she gets out of the puppy stage.
13. If you can only listen to one song over and over for the rest of your life, what would it be?
How Great is our God by Chris Tomlin. There are soooo many worship songs I could list but this came to mind first and it is such a great reminder of God's greatness.
14. What number am I thinking of? (I will answer honestly)
It's a nice even number and since Valentine's Day is Feb. 14th, it might just be what you are thinking. ~chuckle~
15. The rest of your life in 5 words.

And, here it is February and time for another Prime Purchases. I'm pretty sure you are going to find a couple of these items irresistible. Just click, add it to your cart and then hit PURCHASE. It's wayyyy to easy.
I ordered 2 of these to use for my coffee creamer and sugar. I wanted a little bigger size than I previously had and these are just perfect and I love the bamboo lids. They fit perfectly on my coffee bar tray. There are a multitude of possible uses for these.
Amazon has some of the cutest sweaters and this is one of them. The ruffle detail is so cute and they have some great colors in it. I got the baby blue one.
If you are looking for a quick and easy way to oil your cuticles, then this is it. My hands get so dry in the winter and I especially like to put oil on my cuticles. With this, you do not have to worry about turning over a bottle and making a mess. It's self contained with the oil in a barrel and the brush attached to the barrel. You twist the barrel to dispense the oil through the brush. Here's to no more dry cuticles!
If you live where it gets cold then this is a "must have" for you. One of my friends had on one of these fur collars a couple of weeks ago and it was soooo attractive. I immediately went to Amazon to see if they might have such a thing. AND, they did and this one is super nice with a very, very affordable price tag. These collars add such a nice touch any casual or dressy jacket or outfit.
