I just had to write a quick post. Many of you that follow me or participate in VGNO & Friday Fragments know about my missing silverware problem.

Yesterday, Princess Der and Ron's oldest son, James were rinsing off dishes and putting them in the silverware. They made a startling discovery.....




........Our dishes are starting to multiply!

I don't know about you'all, but I ate like a real hogger yesterday. We had so many goodies, I don't know if I can remember them all:

Deviled eggs, potato chips, pumpkin roll, zucchini bread, cheese, crackers, peopperoni, homemade applesauce, meatballs and sausage, the list goes on and on. And that was before the usual Thanksgiving fare!

Check out Pricess Der and Little Man making Pumpkin Roll:

Do you think Santa should be given the H1N1 flu shot?

Despite the fact that each Santa may be exposed to 1,000's of kids, it seems that they aren't on the priority list for the H1N1 Flu Shot.

What do you think? Should Santa get an H1N1 flu shot?

It's Friday again and I have been so danged busy with my Examiner articles, my new position as coordinator for the Central New York Network Marketing Group, my business and doctors visits.  It's crazy.

If I thought of any Friday Fragments, they drifted out of my head faster than I could write them down.

I have taken some pics, though. They are all in the last week or so.

 Disregard the dates - I never set the date on my camera. And I have to keep resting the thing, the way I go through batteries.

The pics start out with the woods behind my house- there is a hill that goes down to a BIG pond- about 1 1/2 miles long.

The Woods & Pond

Some of our "rides"

The Animals

And Great Food!

Hope to see you all there!

 

Hello, it's Monday and it's time to reveal all those things you didn't do :

I did not forget to have my daughters (home)school work ready for her this morning- Not Me!

I also did not tell said daughter to play rummy and "Let's go shopping" with her step-brother for Math lesson today. Not Me!

I did not forget (again) to take my daughter to church youth group last night- NOT ME! Must have been someone else! It is on a new night after all!

I did not hide my dirty cookie sheets in the oven when our friends announced they were on their way over. Not Me!

I did not go 12 weeks between hair appointments and thus have to do an emergency trim & dye myself. Not Me!

I did not have to run to the store today for everything- milk, eggs, bread, butter...well, food! I was not unprepared. Not Me!

I did not almost have a heart attack when Princess Der cleaned her room- Not Me!

I did not play on the computer until past 5 p.m. today, with out dishes being done,with out dinner being started yet, with out laundry put away, yadda, yadda...

Not Me!

You know with a title like that it  must be Friday. I love Fridays! That's where I can share all the trivial stuff I run into all week as well as my aimless observations. It's also my #1 blog-hopping day! It's so fun!

So why not join us for Virtual Girls Night Out and Friday Fragments.

Here are a few fragments I had lurking around in my brain:

Those evil cats!

I can't help wondering why my cat won't eat if the light isn't on. It doesn't even have to be that dark! There will be food there, but she will meow FOREVER until you turn the light on.

And why do our two cats have to egg the dog on? One of the cats will be sleeping on the back of the couch. Our poor  dog, Rocky,  will innocently walk by. In the blink of an eye the silence is shattered. The cat awakens with a bellowing "rearrrr" and reaches a  paw down and slaps Rocky upside the head. Can you blame him for getting a bit perturbed?

And people wonder why cats drive me crazy!

Talk about dumb!

How about dumber than a 1st grader? We were watching are you dumber than a 5th grader. They asked a 1st grade question and NO ONE HERE knew the answer! There was me (40-something or another), Rons 25 yr old son, my 18 yr old son & my 12 yr old daughter! Uh, duh!

Speaking of dumb, what the heck is a Gerund?

I swear I don't remember learning this stuff in school!

Ok, do you know what a Gerund is? hmmm....

I know now!

Stinky Feet?

I just read this in a book. If you have stinky feet, take a pair of knee high stockings and fill them each with kitty litter. Tie off at the top. At night, put one in each shoe. They will smell fresh in the morning.

I couldn't test this as (believe it or not) no one has stinky feet here! Lucky me!



Speaking of feet...

Did you know that your foot is as long as the distance from your wrist to your elbow?

It's true- try it.

While you're there, spread your arms out and measure the distance between them. That is your approximate height.

...of course, if you want to know your height, why not just measure yourself?

Just a thought!

Why is it that...

If you see someone yawning, you just have to yawn?



Here are a few yawning facts:

1. Babies yawn in the womb

2. Anxious or nervous people yawn more

3. Bored people yawn more.

Um....have you yawned yet?

Bet you did!

Even reading about it makes you yawn!

Finally...............

Why can't winter and snow be warm? I know the theory, snow will melt, yadda-yadda!

But stay with me for a minute here. Imagine if it was warm out and it snowed. The snow is warm as well. There is so much fun stuff you could do:

Build a snowman that never melts

You could still swim- all you need is an ice cutter!



Go sledding in shorts and a t-shirt

Dance barefoot in the snow

You could have snow wrestling competitions.

Doesn't it all sound so warm & fuzzy?

And on that note...

It's time to go Blog-Hopping!

See you all around the blogosphere!

Little Man turned 2 on Friday, and had a party Saturday. We were "priveleged" enough to  to be invited. If it weren't for the other Grandma, we probably wouldn't be.

As many of you know, Ron's son has pretty much cut himself off from us after we told him to pick up after himself and Little Man. That was it, no other reason. Left and never came back. Didn't talk to us at the party. In fact, he hid in the bedroom the majority of the time.

The other Grandma was telling us she is having some of the same issues as we had and she's about had it. This was Saturday. We found out yesterday that she kicked Rons son out. Can't blame her- he won't work or clean up after himself and he's disrespectful to her and the baby's Momma. He didn't tell us he got kicked out- he told my son.

Anyway, Little Man got a hair cut. You probably remember him like this:

Little Man has become somewhat of a (ummm) brat shall we say in the last month or so. He certainly doesn't believe in sharing- pushed a 4 year old onto his butt for touching his toy!

He needs Grandma Carolee & Grandpa Ron!

Boo-hoo!

Maybe this weekend....
