We are playing good old 'fill in the blanks' today - When life gives you lemons, what do you do? Are you a roll with it person that enjoys lemonade? Or do lemons overwhelm you?

Yesterday (it's Fri morning here) I tried to fill in the blanks and go with "When life gives you lemons, rearrange things and make melons!", as melons are generally much nicer. Personally, there's only so many lemons my magic can work for and then I felt like I didn't have the amount of sugar necessary to make lemonade and wished I liked tequilla and tried to remember Forest's 'Life is like a box of chocolates'.
 
When life gives me lemons..... sometimes I go with the flow and sometimes the sour lemons get to me.
 
When life gives me lemons... I HATE IT! I wish I was more of a go with the flow type of gal, but I'm not. I do try my best to not let it get me too down and I dig in with all my might and try to FIX it ASAP!
 
When life gives me lemons, I most often make lemonade and margaritas, or put them in my tea! But there are also those times that I squeeze them on some shrimp and asparagus and eat my troubles away! And if they are still surrounding me, I mix them with some cleaner and give everything a fresh smell. I guess I try to look on the bright side of things and just roll with it 99.9% of the time. But there are times I just want to squeeze the juice in someone's eyes!
 
when life gives me lemons, I jump over them and get on the other side of a bad situation. I try to anyway!

Love this Jan!!!
 
Buckle down and make the best of it - lemonade or margaritas most definitely! If it's that bad, maybe a Lemon Drop Shot. lol! :martini I'm a Pollyanna at heart, so I'll find the silver lining or lemonade/margarita!
 
WHen life gives you lemons...stuff them in your bra...can't hurt, might help!!

Funny story to go with this quote...my best friend in high school and I used to write notes to each other ALL THE TIME (even though we lived a house apart) and occasionally make or buy each other cards. I was having a really bad week between not getting along with my parents, stressing about school assignments, and the guy I liked at the time was being a jerk, so my friend bought me this card with this quote and I laughed so hard I cried. I remember it like it was yesterday!
 
When life gives me lemons, I think I’ll learn how to make them useful.. maybe learn how to make pies, the famous lemonade, or use them to clean my kitchen (they smell good & lemons have good cleaning power as well!)
 
Normally I try to roll with it and make the best of whatever is going on...but yesterday...I demoted myself from Mom to stranger b/c the girls aren't allowed to talk to strangers and had wine for lunch!
 
When life gives you lemons .... :giggle
