When I leave work for the day, I often feel like kicking something...does that count?!  :-[

Holy crap, I just started love the stuff...I feel another kick coming on. I just need to learn how to make it. I've heard it's uber easy!
It is (I should make my own, but have been too lazy), I used to make it all the time.  I'm sure you can google loads of recipes, but all you need is chick peas (rinsed) from a can, olive oil, tahini (as little or as much as you like--add water if you'd like to use less oil) in the food processor.  Then the rest is optional any or all of these:  lemon juice, garlic, basil, sun-dried tomato, roasted red peppers, olives, chili powder, etc. etc.  Be creative!  it's so good for you, too!

Yum!  :)

Another one for me is edamame.

Yes, a kick of not letting life get me down too much!

Aside from that, chocolate covered dried cherries, Millionaire Matchmaker, and the Olympics.
When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life. ~ John Lennon

The strawberry and vanilla smoothies from Marks and Spencers.  For not being made right that minute, they are pretty dang good.  In general, I would like my life to involve a lot more smoothies than it does currently.

Lately, I have been eating Nutella by the spoonful, which is a very bad thing.  :-[

Oh, I have done that before!  :) Sometimes, it is necessary.

I've been on a karaoke kick since we bought a few new tunes.

We still need to get over to yours for that sometime, except I don't think Steve is gonna sing unless we get him very, very drunk.  (which might actually be a good thing!)

I live right near the Krispy Kreme in Manchester, I drive past it regularly. I might have to pop in tomorrow for a dozen donuts. Thanks people for reminding this pregnant lady of all these foods!

I'm blinded with jealousy. ;)

Do you like 80s tunes?  :P

And the vino is all part of it - so much fun!

Also, deep heat seems to be the thing at the moment with my sore shoulder: don't know if it's a kick, per se, or even helping.

Sure, and 70s tunes & country tunes...  On one of our US road trips, Steve took to calling me "The Lady of 6,000 Songs" (from the book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil) because every song that came on the radio, I knew!  Lol!

Hehe... I'm trying to picture Steve wailing out the karaoke. I might have to witness it for myself one day in order to believe it.  ;)
