Tuesday Coffee Chat - This or That

I am thankful for a mindless Tuesday Coffee Chat this week. We have some heavy things going on in our family, so my brain cells are a little limited. Here we go ...

Heels or Sneakers ... Honestly, heels, but not dressy pumps, stilettos, etc. I have a high arch in my foot so a heeled boot feels so much better to me than a pair of tennis shoes. If I am wearing yoga pants or a hoodie and jeans and want to wear sneakers, I will wear them for a while. But once I get home I put on a pair of slippers instead. Sneakers are not comfortable to me long-term. But I can wear a pair of heeled boots all day, even shopping, without any problems.

Coke or Pepsi ... Makes no difference to me. I do like Diet Coke, but can drink a Diet Pepsi just as easily.

Instagram or Flickr ... Definitely IG, all day every day (@nikki_taulman).

Tomboy or Girlie Girl ... Neither. I am definitely somewhere right in the middle.

Nap or Read ... Now that one is not fair! If it is nap time, I might start out reading but the nap wins.

Karaoke or Bowling ... Bowling. I cannot stand to be up in front of somebody doing something I am not good at. Nobody is good at bowling so it's all good.

Pizza or Sushi ... I prefer my food cooked, so pizza.

Rain or shine ... Ahhh, a perfect rainy day. I love rainy days!!!

Single or Taken ... I am taken. It will be 15 years of marriage next summer.

Dress or Jeans ... Jeans.

Winter or Summer ... Winter. If it's not going to be a rainy day, I want it to be snowing.

Exercise or Couch ... I want it to be couch, but I make myself exercise.

Library or Cafe ... Ugh, another hard one. I love the library! I could spend hours in there! But I also love a Barnes and Noble with a Starbucks so I can look at books, grab one to take to read for a bit in the cafe.

Jock or Nerd ... Nerd.

Piano or Guitar ... Piano. I could listen to The Piano Guys all day long.

Marvel or DC ... My son will kill me, but I don't know the difference and I could care less. He loves Spiderman and I think he is Marvel, so I will say Marvel.

And that's it for this week.

ABCya

Eli's reading resource teacher shared a website with me yesterday that I would like to pass along. It's called ABCya . There are separate educational sections with fantastic games for ages kindergarten through 5th grade. I browsed the 2nd grade level, and it includes age-appropriate games about Letters, Numbers, Shapes, Geometry, Patterns, Mouse Manipulation, Art and Holiday games. There are lots and lots of fun and creative games for children to play. They are fun, but oh, so educational. Eli's favorite, in his short time playing it, was Create a Car . A lot of the games also have Apps available for purchase (99 cents for most of them) for the iPad and iPhone. I have been looking for another free website for games similar to Starfall , for some time. I think I have found it. I can feel confident having Eli and Brynne play these games.

Cells ~ It's What's for Dinner

Dawson made edible cells on Friday. He made an animal cell pizza ... and a plant cell chocolate chip cookie ... He reviewed what he's learned about cells the past two weeks, and I had dinner made by someone else. Win, win!! I am linking up at Science Sunday at Adventures in Mommydom.

I like your honest answers here. I have to say, we used to bowl on a team and we were good! Our team won the championship! Bill even had a perfect game and the ring to prove it! Me...not as good, but I won Most Improved. Ha! This was about 150 years ago. *wink*

I love a good heel too. This gal's heel height comfort limit is 3 inches.

Yes! Heeled boots are my favorite, too. I also have a high arch, so no wonder I'm more comfy in those than in sneakers. Though I do tend to torture/force myself to wear them (sneakers) thinking they're 'better' for me...I better knock that off! :) I am with you 100% on snow - I love snow!! My daughter and I were just talking about that today about how we don't care how much snow falls vs. how much rain falls. And snow is way prettier - and turns the drab winter grey into bright whites! :)

LOVE The Piano Guys! I'm a Marvel fan, but I must not be a very good one if I can't remember which side Spiderman is on...heh!! Loved learning more about you! :)

This or That: Coffee Chat in a Random Tuesday Thoughts Rebel Kinda Way

Seriously, same about running shoes. I don't find them comfortable to wear for a long time. They are for exercising, and then I go barefoot or if going out my boots or a heel. Running shoes make me feel like I am walking in cement moon boots. ha.
The Piano Guys are awesome!!!
Your son will be happy to know that Spider Man will get a new movie soon, and hopefully make a cameo appearance in the next Marvel Captain America.

I really need to get myself motivated to start exercising again, even just a little a few days a week. I love boots with a small heel but haven't owned a pair in a long, long time. There is really no need living where I do.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
