Friday Fragments

Mommy's Idea

Its Friday... a gloomy, cold Friday...Let's Frag... maybe it'll brighten the day... (you can join along too, just click the button above)

******
Tomorrow is the last leg of the Triple Crown Racing befor the Half Marathon.  The Papa John's 10-Miler... I'm really in debate on whether to run it or not.  Mainly because I'm exhausted - not feeling 100% ... plus, the weather has shifted & its going to be 34 degrees at race start... OK - I've ran in cold, I can handle that.  But then there is a chance of rain/flurries.... NOOO!!!!  10 miles is enough torture.  Add in the cold - then toss in COLD, freezing rain & I'm thinking this sounds horribly miserable.  So I'm still not sure what I'm going to do.  The other factor - Ricky works tomorrow so that means I could actually sleep in peace - LATE... in a warm bed... see how I'm torn?  I guess I'll make my decision sometime before 8:00 am tomorrow... what to do... what to do...

*****
Tomorrow is PURPLE DAY!!!!  You wear it for those who suffer from Epilepsy.  Knowing one of the cutest little girls ever, Emily - I'll be sporting my purple... (I need purple running tights!!!)... you can visit Erica's Blog (Emily's awesome mommy) to read more about it... Pull out that purple folks!!!


*****
Did you watch American Idol?  I literally had a roller coaster of emotions.  When they announced Casey was eliminated, I was punching & kicking like a 2 yr old throwing a tantrum.  Then when they used the save on him - I turned into a 14 yr old justin-bieber-screaming-kinda-cheerleader!!!  I wonder if people dont like Casey or they just assume he's safe because he's so good.  What is it?  Do you like Casey?

*****
I was wearing shorts at the beginning of the week... now today, have my winter coat back out...

Mother Nature is one moody little chick...

I've been letting my hair get a break from the heat of a straighening iron so this week, I've just braided it when its wet & let it go... ends up with a very 80's "crimped" kinda look.  Ricky saw me yesterday & said, "Whooo - you look like a hippie.. very Janis Joplin lookin'" ... This guy calling me a "hippie" when HE has hair to his butt?  ... Mr. Black Pot meet Mr. Black Kettle...

*****
SPAT OF THE WEEK:  George Lopez.... Did I just hear all you women immediately take my side?  I think so... Did you hear George Lopez making his "joke" on Kristie Alley about calling her a pig?  That just made me so mad.  Leave the woman alone!  No wonder women have eating disorders.  Plus, she's 60 years old!!! Come on folks - I think she looks pretty decent for 60!  So I'm going off about George Lopez & Ricky was quick to remind me that I once said that that is what comedy is about.. making fun of people.  NO!!!! I didnt say it was about making fun of PEOPLE!!! Its about making fun of THINGS people DO or SAY!  Not about PEOPLE... oh my... it started off a "spat" like no other.  Ricky told me I'm just touchy about it because it involves "weight issues" & it if were something else, it wouldnt bother me as much.... probably so... dont tell him that... but it just made me want to punch both George Lopez AND The Hubs in the face... whatever the reason...

******
I still havent watched one game of the NCAA tournament... does anyone else not care?  HOLLA!

*****

I saw this video & watched in sheer amazement.  I have used size 50 knitting needles & literally, my arms were tired from having to make such big movements.  This is amazing to me... I posted it on Facebook & totally cracked up when my son in law made a comment - "That's a big washcloth.... Maybe it will shrink in the the wash."



Hope you all have a Fantastic Friday!!!

  1. Certainly not funny, Ricky!! I think weight is a huge issue in society (I will not jump on my soapbox because I could go on forever) but I think it's awful in this day and age that my 6 year old has already asked me if she is skinny. Tell him that!! No matter what a person's weight I don't think they should be made fun of about it. It's comments like George Lopez's that cause eating disorders, whether it's overeating or under-eating.

  2. Ricky is going to kill you for your comment about his furry butt!:) No...I definitely don't think that people should ever make fun of people for their weight. We have no idea what kinds of issues they may be facing ridiculing them can only make it worse. You know, I'm not a big fan of Casey...just not my style, but he IS talented. I loved his reaction when they saved him last night...he was shaking from head to toe!

  4. I agree with you about mother nature. I've had it...we had 50 degree weather, the snow was melting, and then wham! snow! It was so bad that they closed the university I work at....and that NEVER happens!!

  5. Okay so seriously starting at the bottom this week ~~ this knitting project is INSANE!!! What in the world is she making? So funny!! Is this your next project? heehee

    Ok, so being a former fat girl (247 lbs) at my heaviest, it is hard to hear people call anyone else fat. The weight issue is SUCH a hard one, and one I still feel like I battle most days. hmpfff.... enough about that....

    AI was CRAZY!!!!! Am I gonna have to start backing up the phone and web with my voting? I mean, get.out.of.stinkin'.town. Oh girl, DON'T get me started!!!!!! I think the boy is a front runner. He is that good. When you got it on the inside, you just got it. anyway....

    Okay, so running tomorrow.....hmmm how is that knee doing? Cold is hard on joints, just a thought.

    Love you girl ~~ Dawn

  7. Ooh, the George Lopez thing got my dander up! Every women should be offended by his comment, men too.

    I have not had to endure any basketball, my hubs & boys aren't into sports!

    Hugs & love,

  8. Oh My WORD!! I almost had a heart attack when Casey was eliminated! What in the WORLD? I think everything just thought he would be safe because he is so good...I learned my lesson and now I am going to have to VOTE! Does this mean he goes on tour this summer? 11 of them?

  9. Well. Google Reader is being bad. It just now pulled in this post. Naughty, naughty.

    Even though I haven't watched AI for three weeks, I loved Casey from the get-go. I'm glad the judges saved him.

    Regarding Kirstie...she's weird. I don't care how they make fun of her. Sorry friend. You're a softie.

    Basketball? This is one time when I'm glad I'm fasting from TV. :D
