Monday Morning Musings #1

I have been wanting to launch my own random blog hop for sometime. It’s a brand new week to kick off a brand new meme. Join me for my NO-rule Monday Morning Musings!

Each week, I hope to feature one special blogger, if you wanna be included as a possible candidate, then don’t forget to link up! 

I thought today would be an excellent time to play along with a few bloggy buddies I haven’t joined in quite awhile. The whole being sick followed by surgery thing still has me behind or at least this is the excuse I’m clinging to.

The truth of the matter is, I’m trying to get a handle on how I want to organize my daily meme participation. Honestly, I can’t get to the ones I want in on the day they actually happen. That being said, I decided to shoot for a late day hook up for my own musings.

First up, I wanna visit Carissa @lowercase letters who has her own version of random called Miscellany Monday.

My miscellany mention for this Monday is none other than the giveaway I am promoting on my blog. What’s that, you say, a giveaway? You mean, you didn’t hear the news? I am hosting a Diamond Candles giveaway and it’s going on now. Don’t worry, you have a chance to still get in on the action!

Next up is blog bud is Stasha @The Good Life hosts the Monday Listicles. No fretting now. This is actually a fun, cool kinda meme. Each week you get a listicle prompt to inspire you to create your own list of 10 things. This week’s theme choice is things we really shouldn’t know sent in by Heather.

Finally, I’m rounding out today’s hop with Acting Balanced who puts on the Monday Quiz About Me meme. A fun way to get to know one another just a little better. This week Heather is wanting to know these things about you & me:

1. September is Better Breakfast month – if time, money, calories etc. were no object, what would you have for breakfast? Blueberry pancakes with maple syrup and a side of sausage.
2. How often do you do a major clean out? The question is when am I not doing a major clean? I do dedicate time twice a year to do deep cleaning projects despite of my continuous efforts to cut the need for a special time to do such chores.
3. What makes you feel appreciated? A simple thank you or a kind expression of how much something I did means to another person. That’s all it takes to make me feel appreciated.
4. If you had the choice, would you employ someone to help around your home/life? Maid, Nanny, Cook, Butler or some other form of help? I would hire someone to keep up the yard work. Both DH & I have allergies to grass, trees, and pollen. Having someone to do this one job for us would be a huge help!

Do you like music?  Do you like to dance?
