Friday Fragments

It's Friday, so that means it's Fragment time. Click the button above to go to Mrs 4444 site Half Past Kissin' Time if you'd like to join in on the fun.

Hair: I think I've made up my mind about my hair. You all have convinced me to go with the shorter style for awhile. Now, I've just got to decide where and when I want to go to get it done. Thanks for all the input. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you can check the previous post.

Survivor:  Anybody else out there watching Survivor this season.  It's had so many unexpected twists and turns.  The finale is Sunday.  Looking forward to seeing what will happen.  My vote right now is for Cochran 1st and Dawn 2nd.

NCIS:  I know some of you watch this.  Did you know that Admiral Chedwiggen from JAG is going to guest star?  Did you know that NCIS is a spin-off from JAG.  JAG was a favorite show of mine for many years.  I can't wait to see what the Admiral will be doing.

That's it folks.  That's all the fragments that I have today.

Have a great day and a great weekend! 

Happy Mother's Day

Changes? Maybe

I'm considering a haircut.  I've been letting my hair grow for about a year or so now.  I'm starting to get tired of it, plus it's hot when it's down on my neck.  It's been years since I've had my hair this long and maybe there was a good reason for that.

This is about how my hair looks now (this was in January)

I'm thinking about going back to about this.

  As you can see, my hair is very straight and I refuse to get another perm.  Went that route for years.  No more.  I need some opinions.  So what do you think?  Should I go for it?

Wednesday Hodgepodge

Click the button above to visit Joyce and join in with the Hodgepodge.

1. When the children of today grow up, what do you think they'll say about this period in time? What do you most hope they remember?
I think they'll say I can't believe I really wore those clothes (such as pants halfway down, etc).  I hope they remember that when their kids do something equally as silly and have a little patience with them.

2. National Teacher's Day is celebrated in the US of A on the first Tuesday in May, this year May 7th...share how a particular teacher positively impacted you.
That's too many years ago, I don't remember.  

3. What's a dish your mama made, that if set in front of you today would whisk you right back to childhood?
Chicken and dumplings...Yum!

4. Mother May I was a game we played when I was growing up...no pieces, parts, or plugs required. What games from childhood do you remember loving that were also pieces, parts, and plug-free?
Red Rover, Red Rover and tag

5. Besides your own mother, tell us about a woman who influenced you as a child?
My Aunt Diane.  She had a beautiful voice and played the piano at church.  It made me want to be just like her

6. Mamma Mia! What's the best play or musical you've ever seen?
The Sound of Music

7. What are three smells that make you feel nostalgic?
 Fruit Loops Cereal...because the first time I ate them was at my grandparents house in Florida.
 The smell of the cows behind our house remind me of the years we lived on a farm growing up.
  I can't think of another one right now.


8. Insert your own random thought here.
I think some of these questions were hard this week.  But thanks Joyce for doing them every week for us.

Post It Tuesday and Thanks

Weekend Wrap-Up

Friday night after work, hubby and I brought home pizza and Chinese for supper.  Kerri and her boyfriend were at the house and Carolyn and the baby were home and they all had pizza.  I had Chinese.  I'm not sure what hubby did.  Then about 10 or 10:30 we (being Kerri, Charlie, Tracy and I) headed to the airport to pick up Kelli.  Her flight arrived on time and it was great to have her home.

Saturday we slept in a little and then Tracy, Kelli and I went to lunch at Red Robin and did our usual Saturday Wal-mart shopping trip.  It was good to sit and talk and laugh together again.

Saturday evening we went to my mom and dad's to visit with the brothers and sisters that were there.  I believe a good time was had by all.

Sunday was church and then to Cassano's Pizza to meet with Tracy's family.  Many do we every get loud when we are all together.  There was Tracy, me, Kelli, Kerri, Charlie, Tracy's mom and dad, Tracy's brother and his wife and 2 sons.  Lots of pizza eating and laughing and talking going on.

So all in all, it was a great weekend.  Everyone enjoyed getting to visit with Kelli.  I can't believe I didn't take not even one picture all weekend.  I'll have to see if I can't remedy that soon. 

And did I say, it sure is good to have her home, even for a short time.

Friday Fragments

I have not done the Fragments in quite awhile, but here goes. 

We're getting a new hot water heater installed today.  Can't wait.  It's a little hard with 3 adults and a baby to get enough hot water around here for showers in the morning.  But we've made do.  However, after almost 17 years of faithful service, our hot water heater is starting to leak.  Hubby and my brother-in-law bought the new one yesterday and it will be put in today.  So while a bit of a pain to get it done, it is over-all a very good thing.

Kelli has officially completed her junior year of college.  She will be flying home this evening and we'll pick her up in about 14-15 hours.  Can't wait.  We haven't seen her since Christmas break.  We get her here at home for about 3 weeks.  She then heads out for an internship in Casper Wyoming for the summer.  So for this 3 weeks we'll have some fun together (in between her running around with all her friends).  Really looking forward to it.

This is the scripture I'm hanging onto right now.

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."  Jeremiah 29:11  

It is so good to know that He has a plan for me for my future.  Because the plans I had don't seem to be going to happen.  But I'm believing that His plan is much better than mine.  Therein lies my hope.

Have a great weekend everyone!
