Friday Fragments

Mommy's Idea
*Do you hear that?.... shhhh... if you listen quietly, you can hear the angels singing!  Why?  Because the clocks SPRING FORWARD this weekend!  Yes, I'm going to miss that hour's worth of sleep & yes, it'll take me a few days to recover from it... but sunshine.... sweet sunshine... we'll see more of you.  It wont be dark early - the days are getting longer.... I can hear it... the sweet sounds of "Hallelujah"...


*I have dreamt a NUMBER of time that my teeth have fallen out... its very disturbing.  I literally have worken up to check my teeth to make sure they are still there or that they havent cracked....Anyone else ever have that dream?

*I just Googled "Teeth falling out dream"... I think its telling me I have like 20 mental illnesses

*Ice is my friend! .... There was a post from last year when I was training for the Mini-marathon where I talked about messing up my inner thigh... well, its aggravated all over again!  oh mercy, the pain... So I read where you're supposed to ice up an area & it really helps.  So needless to say, if you see me lately, I'm usually carrying an ice pack.  Driving?  Got it on my leg... Sitting at work?  Yep, an abundant supply of ice... Home?  I am the queen of balancing an ice pack while I knit.  Pretty soon, I'm just hoping I numb all nerve endings on my leg & wont have to worry about pain again... thnk it'll work?
(my ice pack literally looks just like this... aint she beautiful)
*I remember now why I quit watching American Idol... because of stupid madness like last night... when adorable, little dreamers who want to hit the big times get their dreams squashed because American's dont know how to vote.... actually, I never vote myself... but I refuse to tak the blame.  Alex Lambert was just the boy next door with an amazing voice.... & now he's gone... & when he started tearing up & that face turned red... & everyone else started tearing up... oh man... I was so angry at American Idol!  THEN Lilly got voted off to?!?!?  ... My mentally drained tooth-dreaming brain cant handle this...


*I have to laugh at a world where Kate Gosselin & what latest "hair style" & extensions she has makes the news... & I laugh that I'm trying to find the picture of that latest hairdo!

*So how did I never know about TWEETDECK until now?  I am in love!  You download it & it is all one screen that keeps your Twitter & Facebook (& Myspace if you have that & also Linkedin) all in one place.  You can see the updates, you can comment & respond... its A-MAZ-ING!!!... Because of TweetDeck, I got to "Tweet" through the Oscars with some of my blog-buddies.  Totally laughing at Lauren & Sarah Beth & feeling like I was sitting in a room discussing the show with them.... totally gotta get some Dancing with the Stars "Tweeting" going on when it starts...Anyone else use Tweetdeck?  And thank you Becky Jo for that (Yes, there is ANOTHER one... we are both pretty cool... with a name like that, how can you not be?)


*My brother sent me this picture this week... you can tell its Spring time when the girls are able to go to the Park... they love their playground time... & look how beautiful these twins are... makes me wanna squeeze them every time I see those GORGEOUS faces


*Survivor is MESSING ME UP!!!!  It has taken a turn somewhere & I'm now not really liking RUPERT!  How can you not like Rupert?  You can start not liking him when he's acting like a jerk... & getting TOM voted off... Rupert has always been the good guy... why am I not liking him this year?  I'm still rooting for Boston Rob though... looks like him & Russell are going to butt heads ... come on Boston Rob!  Take that little "Hobbitt on crack" (Rob's words - not mine!) out of the game!!!

*If you get a chance, go back over & visit our girl Julie's Blog ... she's walking for the March of Dimes & can use any support... $1.00 would even help... with Julie giving birth to two preemie boys, this is a charity that is near & dear to all of our hearts.  We were blessed to have two healthy, strong preemies... but love that Julie wants to give back!  Go girl!.... And you can give Julie a big high five while you visit... girlfriend is back at work.... A working mom with two boys at home... all you working moms know its not easy, but she's one amazing young lady

Hope you all have a Fantastic Friday...  Hope its feeling like Spring where you live... I think we are ALLLLL over Winter about now...Can I get an AMEN on that one?

  1. Morning!
    Do you know that I had to turn off American Idol last night when Alex got voted off? I REALLY liked him and to see how distraught he was just broke my heart. I wanted to pull an Ellen and run up on that stage and give him a big ol' hug! I loved his unique voice and I thougbht he was just as cute as could be. I hated to see him go! :(

    I have never heard of TweetDeck...how do you get it? I'm very intrigued!

    You nieces are cutie pies!

    Don't know about you, but ENOUGH of Kate Gosselin, already! :)

  2. I had heard mention of Tweetdeck but had no idea what it was; thanks for sharing.

    Just did a post about Daylight Savings; great minds think alike, apparently.

    Never watched AI; couldn't stand it.

    Have a great weekend!

  4. Going to check out TweetDeck too...and I am SO not ready to lose that hour of sleep! I am ready for summer to get here already though, so I guess I'll just have to deal ha!

    Hope your thigh is feeling better!

  7. I heard about moving the clock ahead but had forgotten. Thanks for the reminder. I can't wait until the warmer weather is here for good.

    Sometimes I have a dream that is so vivid that when I wake up, I have to take a few moments to realize it's not real.

    I do not understand Idol voting at all. Just makes you wonder how people can not see talent.

    I never heard of Tweetdeck. I'll have to check it out.

    I don't watch Survivor.

    Aw, those girls are dolls.

    Happy FF weekend.

  8. Oh, no! I didn't realize it was Daylight Saving. And the bad one! :(

  9. Oh my goodness...I have absolutely had that dream about seven times in the last month! Weird!!! It is so vivid too. .......should I go find a shrink??

    I don't know about tweetdeck...I use HootSuite. It made twitter make sense to me!

    Happy Friday!

  10. Uhhh, it's daylight savings this weekend? So glad you informed me cuz I had NO IDEA!!!

    Cute picture of the twins!!

    Tweetdeck looks like it might make me a little nutty trying to keep up! Do you have FB and Twitter connected? I don't and I prefer it that way, but if you can still have them separate I might consider it...

    Ice, Ice Baby! Glad it's helping. Hope you're pain-free soon!!

    OMGosh!! Teeth falling out dreams are THE WORST!!! I've had then numerous times and they freak me out every time!

  11. Ahhh, Rupert...where did you go? And what about James? Ugh. He is really starting to show his true colors.

    I agree with you about Boston Rob. He is a sweetie, that's for sure. Probably my favorite is Colby.

  12. yeah American Idol just ticked me off too! Adam should have stayed and that other kid should have gone, can't remember his name....the 17 yr old, or is he 16? anyways, the young girl that was with Lilly should have gone, not her, she was one of my fav's along with the girl with the dred-locks, she is a real contender...

  13. I absolutely love TweetDeck for my home pc and (more recently discovered for my new phone) Seesmic for my phone. I know what you mean...I see things and go "Oh--so and so would like that"...then realize that although so-and-so is a real person...I've never actually met them! Twitter and the blogosphere are wonderful aren't they?!

  14. I am so glad you agree about Lilly and Alex being voted off. I was so bummed and disappointed that America doesn't get their talent. We also agree about Rubert, did you see him hurt Gerri in the challenge? He's gotten off path somewhere.
    Letting our hour go but ready for longer and sunnier days!!!

  15. Whoever came up with "Spring forward; Fall back" has my undying gratitude. Otherwise, I'd never figure it out:)

    I hope your leg gets better. Those muscle pulls are aweful. I had to do water aerobics for awhile when I had an inner thigh leg pull!

    Here's to Spring (my joyful son's birthday)

  19. Love, love, love Tweetdeck. Been off the grid this week, but generally you can find me @4thfrog

    My dh just got out of the hospital and they gave him the most nifty velcro ice pack holder thing. You just velcro it around the offending part. Very cool.
