Do you have any piercings? Do you like them on other people? Does it matter where they are?
I do have four piercings in each ear. I normally only ever wear two in each ear because the higher up on the ear the more irritation I experience. I used to have my belly button pierced, I did it on the down low one summer at camp when I was 15. Unfortunately, it was rejecting itself and then it was finally ripped out during a soccer game. I have an ugly scar. I wouldn’t mind a cute little stud in my nose actuallyI don’t mind piercings on other people. It is their own body so I won’t dictate what they should do with them. The only piercing which makes me nervous (if they end up changing their minds later) are those huge spacer earrings which make huge holes. BUT, does it truly bother me? Absolutely not!

King Charles III and Queen Camilla just celebrated one year on the throne (since their coronation). Today, we are going back to the vault to see the menu I created to watch the festivities.
Tomorrow (May 4th) is not only Star Wars Day, it is also National Fitness Day. You can bet I’ll be re-watching Star Wars, BUT, in between I’ll try to be a bit more active.
How are you marking National Fitness Day?
If you are thinking, you have to “work out,” that is not the only way to celebrate. You can do some of the following…
-Instead of driving; you could walk, job or bike to wherever you need to go
-Instead of taking the elevator; use the stairs
-Try to cook at home, instead of going out
-If you do go out to eat; choose a healthy side dish
-Its the perfect time to try a new healthy recipe instead of microwaving a convenience meal
-Carve out 15-20 minutes to do some stretching or relaxing exercising
-Minimize how much you sit
-Drink water
Do you have any suggestions?
Is there anything you are ever a snob about?
I can be a snob about…
-books
-food
Those are the main things. but it’s more like reverse snobbery when it comes to food; it’s like how can you possibly not like “insert food”? or How have you never eaten at “insert name of restaurant”? I love all kinds of food so it truly baffles me when people just eat fast food or the same thing over and over or are only meat and potatoes people; I mean my husband is one of them. And obviously I’m very very particular about books and authors as you have probably gathered from my monthly Book Club posts.

Last month I only managed to read ONE book; this month, I more than made up for it. I discovered two new author this month!
As you know, I am a mystery buff. From television shows to books –I love mysteries. My friends and I have started a tradition; every month we “solve a murder” for our game night.
Unsolved Case Files
The most recent case we solved was Sandra Ivey…
“August 10th, 2021 – At 11:10am the world’s first commercial space station, the Delta One, lost power and all communication with ground control for 40 minutes. During the blackout, a mysterious accident claimed the life of Sandra Ivey, CEO of Astro IV, the multi-billion dollar space tech company responsible for launching the station.
There were five other crew members aboard the Delta One and none claim to know what happened to Sandra while the power was out. Sandra’s former chief of security, Solomon Hart, was sent skyward to investigate, but only given 24 hours aboard the Delta One to make his case. Though it was officially ruled an accident, he suspects there’s more to this story than meets the eye.”
Cryptic Killers
The most recent case we solved was Case #7: Murder At Merivale Manor….
“On July 4, 1927, Astrid Pelham fell from the top floor balcony of the luxurious Merivale Manor, impaling her body on a statue below. The cause of her death remains a mystery, shrouded in whispers of murder, suicide, and even supernatural intervention. Armed with new evidence, it’s your job to piece it all together and work out who it was that killed the victim.”
How clean is your house right now?
My house is not clean. I hate cleaning! It’s something I always procrastinate about. My husband often works away so I sort of live in my mess until he comes home and then I tidy things up a bit. I’m only ever caught up on changing the cat litter because that would be so gross if I didn’t. I absolutely hate cleaning our bathroom, have you ever shared a bathroom with a guy?!?! Oh my goodness! We have indoor pets so I do have to continually sweep. I only ever truly do a deep clean when we are having company over or when I’m in summertime purge mode.

Each month I travel back in time to see what I was writing about at the time. This time last year I was recounting what I was “currently addicted to.” I retired that series for this year; however, after reviewing the April 2023 post, I kind of miss it. It’s neat to be able to flashback.
Current Addictions: April 2023
What are you currently addicted to?
Growing up on the coast; I ate a lot of seafood –its definitely the food item I miss the most living in the landlocked prairies. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like I don’t have access to it, but it just hits differently. I have made more of a conscious effort to reduce my consumption of red meats and eat more fish. I simply can’t resist the following recipes…
Grilled Salmon Bruschetta with Avocado
Honey Garlic Salmon
Salmon Veggie & Grain Bowl
Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Salmon & Orzo
Air Fryer Salmon
