Friday Fragments: Little Stuff

Friday, August 19, 2011

This morning I learned what “swag” means. My husband saw the word the other day (probably reading a blog over my shoulder) and asked, “What is ‘swag’? Where does that word come from?” I explained that swag is the loot bloggers (or online folks) get, usually from companies– tote bags, buttons, pens, promotional stuff, etc. [...]

We’ve been laying low this week, due to the serious heat wave hitting the area. Hey, remember all those times I laughed at you folks in the South about the snow and cold? I take it back, all of it. :-p I’m a Northerner, my blood is too thick for this stuff! I saw on [...]

This meme is usually called “Friday Fragments” but seeing that Friday, Saturday, and Sunday totally sped by, here I am on Monday. *** I took a “vacation” from the blog and work to work on a roofing project with some friends. It’s a flat roof and OH my word, the person who came up with [...]

Another Monday! I can’t believe it’s been a whole week since we left Virginia. I miss the ocean. Questions: 1. What is your favorite bagel flavor? Hmmm…. I don’t eat bagels that often. I rarely eat breakfast (even the smell of food in the morning makes me queasy). When I lived in New York City, [...]

I took the entire afternoon off yesterday. Yep. I did absolutely nothing. It felt really weird. Well, I did rake up a couple of flower beds, but I had the kids do most of the grunt work. I even skipped doing Meet Me in Monday like I usually do! So, I’m actually doing it on [...]

We’re up to week 40, woohoo! Questions: 1. Crunchy or soft tacos? Soft. YUM. I only like crunchy when the tacos are broken up into small pieces and sprinkled onto a salad. We recently made quesadillas and now I am SO hungry!! 2. Do you scrapbook? Nope. Never tried. I used to cross-stitch and crochet, [...]
