Friday's Feast Version 6.27

Fridays Feast... you should do it, too!
Come on.. you know you wanna!

What is the weather like today where you live?

Can I cheat? Is that allowed? Mostly cloudy with showers and thunderstorms likely in the morning...then partly cloudy with a chance of showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon. Highs around 80. South winds 5 to 10 mph shifting to the west 5 to 15 mph in the afternoon. Chance of rain 70 percent. Nope, I didn't write that... I stealed it from my WeatherBug!

On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being highest, how career-minded are you?

I honestly don't even quite have a grasp at what "Career-minded" means. I'm assuming it means how much into my career I am or something like that? Well, I don't have one and I never have. I was a rebel who wanted nothing to do with school once I got out of HS, so I found the quickest vo-tech college course I could find just to pacify my parents. Now, being a self-proclaimed, self-taught graphic artist I guess I can say that I am career minded because I put most of my mind into my work.

Can that go on record as being probably the dumbest answer ever?

What type of window coverings do you have in your home? Blinds, curtains, shutters, etc.?

Depends on the window. Blinds on some (most), but some of the blinds also have curtains over them... some windows just have curtains, like the demons because when they were younger they did have blinds but they kept breaking them and tearing them down so once upon a time on a cold winter day, mama bear got pissed off and took the blinds away from the little demons and they never got them back again.

Main Course

Name something that instantly cheers you up.

a phone call from my Kimberella

How many times do you hit the snooze button on a typical morning?

My alarm clock is a golden retriever - if you can tell me how to snooze that, I'll give you a cookie!

Thursday Thunks Version 6.26

Welcome to the 4th week of Thursday Thunks!

This week we will answer:
If you had to be famous, there's no other choice, would you rather be famous by choice (rock star, actor, reality show) or by chance/"instant celebrity" (winning the lottery, some type of news story, etc)
?????????????

Remember it's YOUR choice on what to do with this question! You can answer it with text, pictures... whatever! Be creative - think about it.

.... and tell your friends!

The Most Annoying Sound

Wordless Wednesday - Version 6.25

Did you see that?

Every now and then I go back and look at things I've posted. Mainly to make sure I didn't post something incredibly stupid and all you readers are sitting back just laughing your cute little asses off at my stupidity.

But today I'm looking, again, at the "dock picture", wondering if that really is the picture for my yearly girls-on-the-dock picture. I'm staring at it and I realize there is something in the picture... what is it??


Wouldn't you know.... I caught the fish she caught.

I wonder

Why, when I wash dishes, do I get thirsty for water - which I normally don't drink?

Weekly Winners June 15th - 21st

the yearly dock picture - I think this is it. I take a picture of the girls every year fishing from the dock, makes an interesting growing-up view.
I know I'll take more though...

whats a campfire without roasted marshmallows?

CameraCritters Version 6.22

CameraCritters for 6.22Chico & the fish (and if you look close you can see Saki's nose, too)

PhotoHunt - Water

I'm back to another favorite meme of mine! PhotoHunt. This weeks theme is water and you can bet that I've got a picture to share of that one!

Friday Feast Version 6.20 (1st time!!!)

Joining a new meme today (like I need another one!). This one is called Friday Feast. Check it out, it's wicked cool!

... I can't believe I just used that phrase.

Appetizer

If you could live on another continent for 1 year, which one would you choose?

Ugh. The thought of living anywhere else but here sends my brain into a tizzy, but for the sake of the meme I will answer.... Australia because I wanna live where kangaroos live.

Soup

Which browser do you use to surf the Internet?

Firefox, which I just updated and just now realized I don't have my BBCode/HTML Code add-on anymore and I'm just a little upset by this new find.

Salad

On a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being highest), how much do you know about the history of your country?

2... I think. Maybe 1. I hate history. I know which state the serial killers Albert Fish & Jeffery Dahmer lived, though! (does that count?)

Main Course

Finish this sentence: Love is…a big fuzzy teddy bear, a big sloppy puppy kiss, a demon hug, a demon calling me "momsies" and my husbands arm around me at night.

.... not in that order... well, maybe....

Dessert

Have you ever been in or near a tornado?

I live in Minnesota, what do you think? Luckily I've only come close, never been "in" one. No damage, no loss... just a few close calls (within miles - like last weekend - 2 miles away there was a funnel cloud. Yippeee!)

And this concludes my 1st FridayFeast entry. I hope you've enjoyed it.

PhotoFriday - The Great Outdoors - Version 6.20

It's been quite awhile since I've done the PhotoFriday Meme... but I woke up this morning and made it my goal that I was going to get back to doing one of favorites!!

This week it's "The Great Outdoors"

whats better for the great outdoors than a farm? When you are a farmer (which I am not and never have been) you spend most of your time in the great outdoors!

Thursday Thunks Version 6.19

I ran across the question for this weeks TT's by accident, really. It was a "deep thought" quote on another blog I read the other day and it reminded me of how incredibly stupid I was as a new mom. I was going to have the most polite, quiet and well behaved children ever. I was, really... and I believed it, too.

Looking back I have no clue what the hell I was thinking... how could I possibly teach these children to be quiet in public when I have a hard time keeping my own voice down to a respectable volume level? And well behaved? Ha! Yeah, thats a joke. I never knew what behaved meant and I still don't.

I taught my children well - they turned out just like me.
