What I've Missed - Fast Five x7

Fast Five Friday is a weekly blog hop created by, us, Cover Girls. Its purpose is to connect with writers, readers, viewers, and bloggers. With that aim in mind, we would love for you to join us! 

We're suckers for lists, so we thought it'd be cool to do a weekly blog hop where we list things. We've provided the topics for each week below, with five being the focus . 

You're not required to post every week. You can pick and choose which topics you'd like to participate in. 

Whatever topics you decide to do, please include the link to your Fast Five Friday post in the comments section of our FFF post each week, so we can stop by and show our FFF love to you!

I'm a HUGE Loser and Here is Why...

I'm a HUGE Loser and Here is Why...

I have not been around lately!

I've been in my new position at work, shy a couple of months, and I've been swamped with new tasks and just the workload is keeping me on my toes. So to make up for it, I'm gonna bombard you with a ton of EYM answers....

May 18-22: What quirks does you BFF have that you adore, because it makes them unique?

1. She does this cute sound with her mouth when she is thinking. It's a cross between a chirp and a snap.
2. I'm also a hair twirler but she has longer hair so when she gets in one of her hair twirling frenzies she'll slap herself in the face/eye every time.
3. We have favorite sides when it comes to taking pictures.
4. She views her left and right differently than most people. I've learned to give directions as if I'm the seekee not the seeker.

I love everything about her!

May 25-29: Name a few things you like to eat while writing.

1. Chocolate
2. Chips & Salsa
3. Anything in arms reach.

June 1-5: Pick ONE of your 5 senses you find most important to you.

Sight.

Touch... taste... those seem super important too but I think sight would be the most important to me. I wouldn't want to miss watching my kids grow up. Sure I'd want to hear their sweet voices and feel their sweet kisses but I'd want to see their sweet smiling faces. I wouldn't want to miss the colors, or animals, or experience things live, die, grow, everything that has to do with life. I think you can experience a lot through your other senses as well but sight is the one I'd like to keep. And I'm sure some feel the same about the other senses as well.


Thanks for stopping by.

I promise I will make time to post at least on Fridays for EYM and Fast Fridays.

June 5: Books You couldn't put down. (I only chose series)

Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins
Anna Dressed in Blood series by Kendare Blake
Rot & Ruin series (aka Benny Imura) by Jonathan Maberry
The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer
Finishing School series by Gail Carriger

I didn't put Harry Potter because, duh, that should just be a given with me. ;)

Express Yourself - Get-Together Dish

Express Yourself is a weekly Meme dedicated to getting to know YOU better.

Jackie and myself what to know:

When you attend a get-together, what are you likely to bring as a dish to share?

I usually bring Broccoli Casserole or 7 Layer Salad which usually has more than 7 layers.

Broccoli Casserole

A jumbo bag or broccoli florets or 3 16oz bags
1 block of Velveeta cheese (large)
16 oz cottage cheese
1 tbl sp of flour

Mix all ingredients and pour into crock pot. Let it cook in crock pot for 3-4 hours depending on consistency and how tender the broccoli is. Most of the cottage cheese should be melted but some of my family likes it not to be. It depends on your liking.


7 Layer Salad

My layers from the bottom up...
Lettuce
Broccoli
Peas
Cauliflower
Celery
Bacon
Mayo or Miracle Whip
Ranch Powder

Sometimes I add a layer of Shredded Cheese to give it a pop of color. I also use the pre-cooked bacon. It's faster and easier.

Hope you guys have some great Holidays!! And enjoy the food!!
