5 On Friday...

WOOOOOOWEEEEEE... seems every time I turn around it's FRIDAY again... So here we go with my "5 On Friday"...




1. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the "layway" option... it's a DANG SHAME that MORE STORES don't offer this "service"...

2. Although I LOVE browsing other blogs... I am a bit baffled... how can "someone" post a SINGLE PICTURE with NO TEXT and get over 200 "hits"/comments???... and some of the comments don't relate in ANY WAY to the picture that is/was posted (I realize everyone interprets things DIFFERENTLY but still... )

3. I'm making it a goal that once the weather turns colder I am going to learn what I can of PHOTOSHOP... I believe it IS POSSIBLE to learn more than I know (which is how to load the pictures into PS and whiten teeth)... I'm determined... D E T E R M I N E D!!!!

4. Soon it will be CHILI and POT PIE season!!! Our "coldest" night so far has gotten down to 42*!!!

5. I don't understand... the kids have been in school LESS THAN A MONTH... WHAT could there be for parents to complain about ALREADY??? SERIOUSLY... I wish some people would just take a deep breath and step back...

Have a GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE!!! :o)

5 on Friday...

WOW... it's FRIDAY already??? Yep... so here it is... 5 on Friday

1. I think people would be surprised to know what runs through my mind sometimes...

2. I could eat PIZZA for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner 365 days a year...

3. I LOVE Summer... HOT... HUMID SUMMER... the HOTTER the BETTER (I thank my Southern upbringing for that!)

4. I hate to be cold...

5. I wish I knew THEN what I know NOW... it would've made things a LOT easier!

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!!!

5 On Friday...

WOW... it's FRIDAY already!!!



1. I've struggled this Summer... I'm HOPING Fall will be better


2. I'm EXCITED about the FALL TV line up... THANK GOODNESS for DVRs!!!


3. It never ceases to AMAZE me the TALENT that some people are "gifted" with... I wonder a lot... is it NATURAL talent... or something that was LEARNED??? Check out THIS girl and her TALENT.... AMAZING!


4. Lilley-Kate is VERY EXCITED about school starting on MONDAY... I'm excited for her... we worked over the Summer (daily "learning pages") and can now tell time on an ANALOG clock and she's got a good understanding of money...


5. I am ADDICTED to BOB'S OLDE TIME peppermint candy PURE SUGAR STICKS.... YUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMY!!!!


Hope everyone has a nice weekend!!!!

FIVE... 5... CINCO... on FRIDAY...

Hi Everyone!!! It's THAT time... the "end of the week" (or do YOU consider SUNDAY the last day of the week???)... either way it's time for 5 on Friday!!!





1. Michael and Lilley-Kate went to the COUNTY FAIR this week... they had a GREAT TIME ("fairs" aren't MY cup o tea... so I stayed home and watched the TOP CHEF MASTERS marathon with our "shy child")... This is the second year Michael and Lilley-Kate have gone to the fair... and Lk was VERY EXCITED this year... she was tall enough to ride the SCRAMBLER!


2. We've had some FABULOUS thunder and lightning lately... and POURING rain... then 15 minutes later it's SUNNY... weird... of course this whole Summer has been weird weather wise!





3. I get REALLY SAD when I ride by a couple of the car dealers around town... the one's participating in the CASH FOR CLUNKERS scam (I mean PROGRAM)... one not far from us has a 2006 JEEP COMMANDER spraypainted ALL OVER and the front windshield smashed... I have to wonder... was that car REALLY a CLUNKER???

4. I think THIS SEASON of BIG BROTHER (11) has been the BEST YET!!! And the BIGGEST LOSER starts on September 15th!!!

5. Hard to belive next week is our "last week" of Summer vacation! School starts here the 31st... thinking of planning a couple of "fun" things to do... we'll see!

Have a nice weekend EVERYONE!!!

5 On Friday...

My Friend JENN recently started a little diddy she calls "10 on Tuesday"... I thought it was a fun idea so I decided to start "5 on Friday" (I decided trying to come up with 10 interesting things all in one fell swoop would leave me sitting here all day... LOL...) So here we go.... the first FIVE ON FRIDAY...


1. I am old enough to remember life without UNLEADED GAS, MICROWAVES, REMOTE CONTROLLED TVs, ANSWERING MACHINES, CELLPHONES, DIGITAL CAMERAS, and COMPUTERS (and no... I'm not THAT OLD!)


2. I am old enough to remember life with ASSIGNED SEATS ON THE SCHOOLBUS, ASSIGNED SEATS IN CLASSES, CORPORAL PUNISHMENT IN SCHOOLS, HOME EC. CLASSES and AFTER SCHOOL DANCES (and again... I'm not THAT OLD!)


3. I am old enough to remember life without 24 HOUR NEWS CHANNELS, MTV, VH1, BET, FOOD NETWORK, NICKELODEON, LIFETIME and CABLE TV!


4. I am old enough to remember life with AFTER SCHOOL SPECIALS, SATURDAY MORNING (only) CARTOONS, THE WALTONS, HAPPY DAYS, DALLAS and WILD KINGDOM! (and I don't even walk with assistance yet!)


5. I am old enough to remember life without DRIVE THRU BANKING, ATMS, DEBIT CARDS, and FAST FOOD RESTURANTS TAKING CREDIT CARDS!

Like I said... I'm not THAT OLD... but sometimes I sure feel THAT OLD!


Have a nice weekend everyone!
