5QF has been on a bit of a hiatus! Now it is back and  just as awesome as it was before! So here’s my long awaited answers to 5QF!

1. If I had 5 minutes alone with Mother Nature I would tell her? Mother Nature has been having some awful mood swings lately.

2. If you could eat only one thing for a whole week what would it be?One thing? I’m a picky eater as it is! Probably frozen burritos. They are the first thing I want after I have been sick and I usually eat them for a snack anyways.

3. What is your favorite season and why? Summer! I love the beach trips! We go to the beach at least once a month!

4. Do you have a meal that you are AMAZING at making? If so, share the recipe! I don’t cook that often, but I make tater tot casserole that is pretty AMAZING!

5. What has changed in your life since the last 5QF? (8/2/13 was the last one! Wow…over 6 months!) Well… the biggest change since the last 5QF is that I made the switch to WordPress and became a selfhosted blog! I have slowly gained more blog exposure and even went semi viral from my peanut butter blossom recipe I posted on Pinterest!

Today, I’m helping to spread a little love for a very awesome blogger! Her name is Annabelle and she is the author of The Carolina Country Girl. Annabelle recently found out that she has cancer! You can read her story about it by clicking the link! I’m Team Annabelle!

I have never read Annabelle’s blog until a few days ago and I instantly fell in love with her! She writes about her life, but makes it into a fun look into what has happened in her life that makes you want to jump through your computer and join her!

So please help me in sending some love over to Annabelle! She needs our prayers as she conquers this obstacle the devil has put in her way!

Dear Heavenly Father,

I come to you today to ask that you give Annabelle the love and guidance she needs right now! I pray that you give her the strength to overcome the evil that has taken over her body! Please give the doctors the wisdom and patience to help heal her! Bless Annabelle’s family as they try to grasp what is going on! You are a great and mighty God that I know will heal her!

Do you love the south? There is just something about it that makes me happy! I love the history, the comfort foods, the home decor, the architecture, and the fashion. There’s just something about the south!

Anyways, this is where I’m going with this! I had this idea to share recipes, crafts, landscaping, home decor architecture and fashion in a link up! I would love for you to share any of these things with the link up! Any craft would be great actually since there really isn’t a distinct southern crafting style. (At least I don’t think there is!)

I’m still working out details so I haven’t gone live with this yet. I just wanted to throw the idea out there to get you ready for it! I am looking for co hosts though so if you would like to co host please contact me at rndmcrftygagrl@yahoo.com and put Southern Special in the subject!

Snowpocalypse- The combining of snow and apocalypse to describe a big snow storm!

Snowpocalypse, Let’s add Snowmegaddon, Snowtastophe, and SnowJam to that list of annoying names that are unnecessary.   Why do we have to come up with names for every little thing now? When did this trend start? Who thought that saying snowpocalypse, snowtastrophe, and snowmageddon was cool?  Stupidest thing ever!

This winter is insane! I don’t remember the last time it just kept hanging on! Do you? It’s not just in the North. This cold, snow, and ice are EVERYWHERE! You probably saw on the news about SnowJam 2014 in Atlanta!

This was two weeks ago when Atlanta was the laughing stock of the nation! It was really really bad! There were children stranded on buses, people walking home after leaving their car on the interstate. Kids were kept at school because parents were stuck in never ending traffic jams.

Fast forward two weeks! Another snowtastrophe is coming! OH NO!!!!  This time though Atlanta was ready!

This is the same interstate as in the top picture only a different view! Mayor Reed told people that if you don’t need to travel stay where you are! The actually listened! There was no one out this time and there was no major catastrophic traffic snow jam!

So as you can see, Atlanta was much more prepared the second time around! Now if it would just get back up into spring like temperatures that we usually see in February I’d be happy! I’m ready for the warmer weather!
