Minty Fresh!

Have I ever mentioned how much I hate this time of year because it seems like I'm always sick with something? I get my flu shot every year as soon as they're available, I've had a pneumonia shot, I take my vitamins and I'm almost hypervigilant about wiping down shopping carts, opening doors with a paper towel or tissue, and I still manage to catch something! This time around, several people around me have had this bronchitis bug, and it's like the Energizer bunny - it just keeps on going, and going...

Needless to say I'm finding myself with catching up to do, so over the next few days I'll be trying to do exactly that. Today's post should have gone up Saturday (National Chocolate Mint Day) so you know I've got a lot on my to-do list. That being said, let's get a move on and check out these lovely mint green items from Etsy, accompanied by some "complete the answer" trivia questions - the answers to which all contain the letters m-i-n-t, in that order. As usual, the answer is posted immediately after the question and can be seen by inserting your cursor in the space following the question and dragging across the area. Enjoy!
