Friday Fragments

Mommy's Idea

Looks who's back... back again... (yes, I'm channeling my inner white-rapper...)  I was planning on fragging last Friday - but then the BLOGGER BUST 2011 happened... so we're trying again today.  Let's get back to Fragging!

*****
Anyone REALLY concerned about the big day of judgement on May 21st tomorrow?  My favorite response was from the lead singer of Casting Crowns. He tweeted: "Want to know my thoughts on May 21st?  I'll tell them to you on May 22nd" ... awesome!  I laughed this morning too when I heard, "I really hope the world doesnt end Saturday - I want to see Oprah's last show"

*****

Thank you America.  You CAN vote correctly.  I was so glad to see Haley gone last night.  I've always said I think the girl can sing.  But that attitude?  I couldnt bear it.  You saw it shining bright too when they announced Lauren Alaina (I have to say both of her names together... a southern thing I guess) as the one going to the finalist.  Haley looking to the audience with the smuggest look, shaking her head like "Yeah, I see how it is"... & then when she went in the audience to sing & gave that "I'm outta this joint" attitude.  I dont think I have ever DISLIKED an American Idol contestant so much in my life...Off to the land of Diva's to you Ms. Thang!

*****

Scotty from American Idol - & John Rich from Celebrity Apprentice... they are making me sway a little bit to country.  I actually put my radio on the country station on the drive into work this morning.  I could only handle one song & then had to turn the station... but its more then I usually listen to. 

*****
We have our first stitches for one of the twins.  Madi took a nose dive on her bike into some gravel & had to get 3 stitches... ahhh... She's the daredevil of the two & I was afraid it would hinder her from wanting to be so fearless.  Apparently not... I heard she was back on her motorcycle not too long afterwards...


*****
Nope - we still dont have air conditioning in my house... at least this past week, its like its been fall.  The lows were in the 40's so it was really chilly in the house.  Ricky said we werent turning on the heat because we needed to "Bottle up the cold" for when it gets warm again... which is this weekend... & which makes no sense...

*****
Which leads me to (& I know you've missed it) THE SPAT OF THE WEEKA Ping Pong Table .... oh give me strength Lord! We are cleaning out our back room in the basement because obviously, we'll need a new AC unit.  We've had a ping pong table for awhile but wanted to get rid of it.  My brother had a friend who would take it - we were just giving it away.  The thing is, we had to get it out of the basement.  We took it through the basement doors but had to wheel it around to the garage, which is actually a long trek.  Here's where the spat comes because Ricky, for some reason, was so embarassed about wheeling this ping pong table out.  We could have wheeled it through our yard a short distance, to our neighbors driveway - which is a LOT smoother then a bumpy yard.  But NOOOO... someone may see us?  Like they wouldnt see us pushing this thing through our huge front yard?  You'd think we were smuggling drugs the way he was acting.  So he kept pushing it through the yard... guess what?  We broke it.  The bumpy yard pulled the leg out & it stripped the screws... nice... all because ping pong tables are embarssing. (WHAT?)

*****
This cover made me so excited... Hello Hunger Games... I cant wait to see you!!!  That is how I envision Katniss... I cant wait to see Woody Harrelson as Haymitch!  I think that's perfect casting!


*****
Anyone else upset there was no marathon on Biggest Loser this year?  I always love that show in the season.  The battle they have making it through.  I do think its a rough challenge to get them trained to run 26.2 miles in just a few weeks & maybe they got a lot of flack for that.  But I wish they addressed why they didnt do it.  I was so bummed when they just had to walk a golf course instead.... boo!


... well, I think I could frag all day since I havent done it in awhile.. but I'll stop for now... hope you all have a Fabulous Friday!!!

  2. I also hope the world doesn't end tomorrow....that means I'll never get to celebrate my very first wedding anniversary, which is Sunday!

  4. RJ,
    You crack me up!!! You and Ricky are so stinkin' funny. Don't you live on a long driveway and don't have really close neighbors?

    Hasn't this weather been crazy for May? I finally have my garden just about planted, but I usually have it done about the first week in May. WOW!! Now I need to get my sunflowers in the ground. Hoping we don't have anymore 37 degree nights until fall. We'll see....

    Have a Blessed weekend ~~ love you ~~ Dawn

  5. I saw the CC comment about the end of the world on Twitter yesterday and laughed too! Gotta love Mark Hall!

    And Biggest Loser was SO disappointing not having the 26 mile marathon. I'm with you..that's the best part to see who's going to pop out at them and encourage them. Of course, I've cried every episode this season anyway!

    The ping pong table is HILARIOUS! You & Ricky would make a good "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" in your neighborhood...HAHA!

    Hope you have a wonderful weekend RJ!

  6. I'm totally out of the loop! I haven't watched any of those shows this year so I am at a loss.

    What's worse? We own and use our ping pong table quite often! LOL

  7. I used to LOVE to play ping pong! I was pretty good (not competition good, but good enough to wipe the smile off of some smarty-pants seminary student who thought he'd go easy on me. Whoa - just had a flashback).

    Woody Harrilson is perfect! I was so annoyed by the last book, but I thought the first one was really good. So maybe I'll watch this movie.

  8. Ricky CRACKS.ME.UP. LOL Bottle up the cold? Ping pong table embrassment? I know you get a lot of laughs on account of him every day, too funny :)

    I seriously don't think the world is ending tomorrow, but I'm ok with it if it does. Heaven is going to be AMAZING!

  10. as soon as someone says "the world will end on this day" i am pretty sure it won't. something i read about a thief in the night...

    i also got caught in the mess up last week. oh well.

    stitches are no fun!

    i love your spats of the week!!

  11. I WILL NOT miss Haley one bit...her attitude was downright deplorable! I couldn't stand that look she had on her face last night when Laures was named the 2nd finalist...almost like, "Are you kidding me?" She needed to go a long time ago!

    ReplyDelete
  12. you are right about haley...her attitude sure did show on her face as soon as it was announced. and she needed to leave weeks ago. tho she did have a voice, i am not fond of a growler! lol

    also, scripture says, no one knows the day or hour, Matt 24:36....that whole chapter talks about the end days, and what to expect and not. that guy apparently missed a few lines there or did he even read it??? ha ha

    well, have a good one!! no more spats with hubby, its only a table after all!! lol

  13. I love the title of your blog, and so for that alone I decided to follow. But, then I read your words about Haley and they were spot on. John Rich and Scotty? I don't love country, but I like them. So there you go!

    ReplyDelete
  14. I think that Ricky should do a guest post explaining why ping pong tables are embarrassing. This position needs further clarification.

  15. I completely agree with you about Haley!! She really did have an attitude! So excited for the two finalists!! I love them both!! Hope they say grounded because they seem like really great kids!! (Ahh I feel old calling them kids!! Ha!!)
