A Penny For Your Thoughts

    Happy Sunday Friends :)   Today I am linking up with the above blogs to do a weekly writing prompt....   So here goes...   1. What is your biggest driving pet peeve?  People honking at red lights.  Seriously, if someone is there for a minute extra...chill.        2.  What is your biggest blogging pet peeve? I don't think I have one.  If another blog gets on my nerves, I just quit following it.  I would hope that is what someone would do to me as well.  There is plenty of room for all of our opinions and styles.   3.  What is your biggest shopping pet peeve? Overly helpful sales people.  If I need your help I will ask, if not, let me browse.  Other wise I feel like I should apologize if I don't buy anything.   4.  What is your biggest general pet peeve? Other people giving me opinions on my life.  I am not above asking advice, ...

  What a Beautiful Friday today has been....   This is what's is going on around here.   Past.... This week has been a little calmer.  I did have my stress test and everything looked good.  The Doctor said I should exercise more though.  Yeah, like I didn't already know that!  The girls have been busy, but not overwhelmingly so.  Thank goodness for some quiet evenings, we needed them.   Present...We are having beautiful weather here.  Not too hot and not too cold.  Just perfect.  Celebration of the Arts Festival  is going on this weekend on campus.  Which means my afternoon break consisted of a walk, and a corn dog, and a strawberry shake up.  Yummo!!     Future... A nice weekend is forcasted weather wise, so let's hope for a lot of outside time!!  Also, a special little guy's one year old birthday party is tomorrow and might I also say he just got a new baby brother ...

  Well I bet that post title grabbed your attention.  My addiction....soda.  Recovery....well we have yet to say. Progress....one week with no form of Soda.  When was the last time this happened in my life?  Maybe at 5 years old.  Maybe.  I really don't know.    My mom let us drink pop whenever we wanted.  I know it was daily.  She herself was addicted to pop and it was just available and preferred by me and my brother.  I am not sure I have ever even went 3 days.  I have given regular pop up for diet or no caffeine before.  You know, trying to be all healthy and all...he he.  But never, ever not at all.  I am so super proud of myself I can't stand it.   The reason? Reality.  It is not good for you.  At all.  It eats up your stomach (probably other things too).  It increases your risk of about every disease (at least in the quantities I prefer).  But most of all ...

    Past- This past few weeks has been CRAZY busy between home and work responsibilities.  Three of the gals were in the high school musical.  K was the lead!! I was so proud of all of them and the cast was amazing.  It was one of the best musicals I have seen.  Ok, I know I am slanted in my view :)  K was also recognized this week at a luncheon for Seniors who show an upstanding ability to blend academics and extracurriculars and maintain good grades.  That one makes me so proud I cry whenever I mention it...   Work has been filled with appointments, trainings, and meetings.  The weather has been crazy.  Friday and Saturday last week was so warm, Monday it snowed.  Yesterday was warm again.  I yi yi, I never know how to dress for Spring.  I am loving the warm temps though, even if they are not every day yet.  I lost a new plant due to frost.  I forgot to bring it in.  Poor little plant....

To say S.E. Hinton was like a old friend from Junior High would be an understatement.  These four books were read, reread, and read some more during my 6th, 7th, and 8th grade years. I did love the movies as well, but the books were amazing.  I remember when a classmate tried to fudge on a book report on The Outsiders, our English teacher just looked at my best friend and I and shook her head.  I think we had looks of horror on our faces as if he had committed a crime.  My hope is that my children can find a series like this that touches their heart and soul and becomes a part of who they are.  Stay Gold!!!
