1. favorite thing about spring?
It's almost summer.

2. do you wash your fruit right before you eat it or as soon as you get home from the grocery store?

I've got lamb and butternut korma in my slow cooker, with jasmine rice.

Sunday.

5. are you a routine person or do you do everything by the seat of your pants?  what are you routine about, what are you laid back about?
Bit of both. With work and like, anything organizational, I'm hardcore OCD but at the same time, I'm the kind of person who'll just pack up and go do something on a whim.

1. favorite thing about spring? Everything being green again---winter makes Ohio look like a giant brown pile of poo...so, when the trees are green again, everything seems much...better?
2. do you wash your fruit right before you eat it or as soon as you get home from the grocery store? Right before I eat it.
3. what are you making for dinner tonight?  if you plan on getting take out, what would you cook if you had the time and ingredients? I think I will be making meatloaf. Tiny meatloafs, in tiny casserole pans---because it's fun to eat when it's mini sized.
4. when did you change your bed sheets last? Two weeks ago?
5. are you a routine person or do you do everything by the seat of your pants?  what are you routine about, what are you laid back about?  The only routine I follow to a tee is my shower routine---I must do things in the same order in the shower every.single.time, or it throws me off. I also must clean in a certain order (dust before vacuuming)...but it doesn't throw me off if it do it differently. Other than those things, I'm a seat-of-my-pants kinda gal.

5. are you a routine person or do you do everything by the seat of your pants?  what are you routine about, what are you laid back about?  Mixture of both.  I like to plan a week's worth of menus, particularly on the weeks my children are with us.  I like to have a routine in place for homework, baths, choosing clothes the night before.  I'm seat of the pants for entertainment and more seat of the pants then I should be at work.

I want to add that I LOVE to mow the lawn. But we have 4 acres of it, so it's relaxing.

Or to start planning a menu for a party that may be a month from now.  And if we have somewhere to be, I'm ready, let's go. I'm not a good "waiter".
