Y is for

yardage

1. distance measured in the aggregate number of yards; "what is the yardage of this golf course?

 When I think of yardage, I think of fabric and I think I need to go shopping for some. I've found lots of patterns for aprons on Pinterest that I'd like to make. Don't ask me why, but I just think they look "homey" and some are even sort of festive. I think I may have to make some for my daughter and daughter-in-law. I also need to get some fabric for some re-useable gift bags. I made them last year for Christmas for dil and just today my daughter texted me saying that she wanted some.

Questions for Friday, April 27th:

 1. Do you make your kids finish all the food on their plates? No, I never did.

2. Do you give an allowance? I always tried to but it was hard sometimes with being a single mom - they always got a good chunk of my income tax return to spend on whatever they wanted.

3. Do you actually park your car in the garage? No - and I have a two car garage!

4. What is one food you will NEVER cook? Squid

5. Do you have anything exciting planned for the summer? Not really, work and school like always.

 

X is for

Xanthoma

1. a skin problem marked by the development (on the eyelids and neck and back) of irregular yellow nodules; sometimes attributable to disturbances of cholesterol metabolism
2. A skin disease marked by the development or irregular yellowish patches upon the skin, especially upon the eyelids; -- called also xanthelasma.

Never heard of it but it sounds pretty yucky.

Pondering With a Purpose

Thursday again! Time to do a little "pondering" with Brenda from Fiction With a Purpose.

Her rules are really easy:

1. Grab the Pondering with a Purpose Badge (in her sidebar)

2. Look at the week's prompt

3. Post something on your blog that relates to the prompt - it can be a story, a poem, a picture -- anything you want it to be.

4. Go back here and add the URL from your post to the linky list on Brenda's.

5. Go check out the other bloggers who have added their links to the list.

6. AND most of all.... Have fun!

This Week's prompt:  Blogging Rut?

This month has been hard for me with doing the A-Z Challenge and trying to keep up with my normal schedule.  I, like Brenda found that many of the A-Z posts did not get any comments when I had another post on top of them. I can understand that people normally just read the post on top. I do it myself, unless I discover that I've missed something and have to go back on someone's page to find it - like the time I totally missed the post about the Skewered Halo blog party. 

It does seem like there are times when I want to write about something but can't find the appropriate spot. This week, I've been wanting to post some new pictures of my grandson but couldn't find a place to do it so they are scheduled right now into my Six Word Saturday post.  

I tend to worry about what my blogging friends would think if I post something different on a normal meme day. Will they think I've deserted them? I don't want that - I love these blog hops and these people are my friends.  So, I'll just keep doing what I do for now at least.
