Friday Fragments

Mrs. 4444, from Half-Past Kissing Time, hosts Friday Fragments each week. It's a great excuse to get all those little snippets that gather in the brain and don't seem enough for one post but together they can make one fun blog post!  I love to have you smile when you come over to visit. I hope I've done so!  Please visit Mrs. 4444's Fragmented post so you can find even more severely fragmented posters like me.

We got a new button this week!  Here's what the graphic will look like next week at the top of the FF post.

Last week in my Friday Fragments I said that I had been married for 7 years.  Ooops.  That isn't right.  I've been married for 8 years.  Tom and I have been together since Dec 23rd, 1994,  married June 23rd 2001 and by next year I will truly have forgotten (again) if he likes pumpkin pie.  I'll probably still think we've been married just 7 years.   That's OK.  I'm not sure how old I am either.

I found myself Googling how to spell the raspberry noise.  It seems to be a fairly popular question!   I finally spelled it   pthhhhbt

I cannot read blogs that have a black/dark background.  If I really like that blog, then I read it only in my Google Reader.  I usually don't leave a comment on their blogs because it is so hard for me to handle the dark background and the white/light colored text, even for the short time it takes to comment.  I feel bad, but if I go to a new blog that has a very dark or black background I just close it without even investigating whether or not it was worth clicking to it.

Spiders have taken residence in my car.  I think it was a whole nest because all of the spiders that I've spied have been the exact same - they are these ivory colored (almost clear) spiders and I've killed half a dozen of them already in my car.  Each time I get in my car there seems to be a new web from my steering wheel to the window.  ewwwww!   I thought I finally had them all because there hasn't been a new web in a few days, but there was one there today.  Ugh.

speaking of cars.  I have a sunglasses holder in my car.  It holds one pair of glasses.  I just don't like to put the three pair that I usually have in the car in that space so I turned that space into something else.  It now holds pens and sharpies.  When I need a pen I reach up, click the magic door and down comes the pocket with pens!  I always have one handy and if I drop the pen while trying to write and drive (I cannot lie) there is another within reach.

I am going to be making Kookie Brittle this week.  If I haven't done it already, please be on the lookout for an awesome recipe.  (I made the dough tonight!  I'll be baking it in the next day or so.)

I sent off my Secret Santa package today and I even managed to send out the Everyday Food magazines that some Random Cool Chick offered to take off my hands.  Although I sent the EF books off as media mail because they really were too expensive to send parcel post.  (I'm a cheap skate sometimes) but I bet they will arrive much sooner than the 2-3 week time line I was given. I wrapped them in some attention getting paper.  Nothing obscene mind you, just attention getting.

I had to slip in a few printables and projects.

Kids Piggy Bank made out of a spice jar & some cool printable labels at Givers Log.

Hanukkah Round Up and a Kids Christmas Round Up at One Pretty Thing. It's a fantastic site for all things DIY, crafty, printable and tutorial. Love this place.
