Friday favorites: a word game
Happy Friday friends! When you were a child (or even more recently), did you ever play that word game where you take the letters in your name and choose a word beginning with each letter that describes you. Well, today I’m going to use the word F-R-I-D-A-Y to share someone of my favorite things.
F – Favorite Family Member (just kidding!)–Favorite Food
My favorite food is bread! This category includes rolls, biscuits, pasta, cookies, pie crust, donuts–you get the idea. If it’s a refined carb, I probably love it. Throw in some fat and sugar, and I’m in heaven.
For health reasons, I choose to limit the amount of processed grain I eat. Luckily, I also like lots of foods that are good for me. My favorite guilt-free food is fresh produce. Right now, I’m particularly loving berries of all kinds.
R – Favorite Rallying Song
This changes over time, but right now the song that keeps me going when I’m ready to throw in the towel is Fight Song by Rachel Platten.
I – Favorite Ice Cream
I love all ice cream, and choosing a favorite is almost as difficult as choosing a favorite family member, but I’m going to go with moose trax.
D – Favorite Drink
My favorite drink of all-time is this watermelon jalapeno margarita.
Again, for health reasons, I choose to save the margaritas for special occasions. My favorite everyday drink is an iced latte–either nonfat or almond milk will do and no sweeteners or flavors are necessary.
A – Favorite Animal
Charlie, of course! Nuff said.
Y – Favorite Yoga Pose
That would be pigeon pose. This is a gift I give myself after a hard workout or a long run. It’s the stretch that hurts so good.
Your turn
- Share something you are grateful for that begins with F, R, I, D, A, or Y. Bonus points if you do all six!
- What made you smile this week?
Fun playing with words. I had to laugh as I love the same kind of ice cream! But my favorite yoga pose is a Warrior 2 flow. I had never considered it before, but it is. Fav food – pasta, all kinds. Animal – my own dog, Taylor. Fav drink – good red wine… because life is to short too drink bad wine. Unfortunately, I’m not a music person so rallying song was impossible to pick, so not getting all the points. But the whole thing did make me smile! Happy Weekend.
I’m glad you enjoyed it Pat. It sounds like we have a few things in common. I like a good red wine and Warrior 2. I’m surprised you don’t care for music. We can still be friends though. ?
Is that a typo – watermelon jalapeno margarita? Watermelon yes but no jalapeno! What a fun post, I might try one like this sometime 🙂
It’s actually really good – and not hot, just a small bite in the aftertaste.
Random things I am grateful for:
Fleece – A good outerwear choice for Canadian Spring and Fall seasons
Roses – the roses are blooming gloriously on our backyard rose arbour
Internet – For connecting people across geographical distances
Dog walking group – a great Thursday morning activity that gets Kate and me out walking on local trails, while having a chance to socialize with other dog-owning women
Art – creative expression that is beautiful to the senses, and comments on the world
Yellow – I like the colour yellow and it appears in many of my paintings
Jude
I love these Jude. Thanks for sharing. Funny thing, I felt happy just reading your list. I hope you had a very happy Friday and a lovely weekend to come!
This was a fun post, Christie and one I might try in the future. I love that yoga post too especially after a long run. I lean forward into it and just get such a good stretch! I now know what Moose Trax ice cream is – I’ve never heard of that before. Hope you are having a great weekend xx
I’m glad you enjoyed it Sue. I too lean forward when doing the pigeon pose to get a delicious stretch. Moose Trax could well be an American thing. We do love our ice cream loaded with candy! I hope you have a wonderful week!
Yes it is certainly one of my favourite stretches. Moose Trax is definitely not in Australia but I’ve learned something new. Have a great day, Christie! xx
I remember seeing the watermelon jalapeño margarita photo before and wanting to snatch it straight off my computer monitor to drink! I am certain I would love every drop!
Will give the pigeon pose a go at the gym. We have begun spending time stretching…something new to us…and it looks like the ultimate stretch!
Fave ICE CREAM: Cookie dough Blizzard or rocky road
Fave ANIMAL(S): My Purrsimmony and Purrsnickitty
Fave DRINK: Your watermelon jalapeño margarita, I am that confident I would love it!
Thanks for playing along, Leslie. Anytime you come to Utah, margaritas and ice cream are on me!
