Coffee Chat

Let's go to Les's from Timeout for Mom  and chat - don't forget to get your coffee before heading over!

  It's Les's Birthday!! (May 13th):  What to get her?

Well, she mentioned flowers and dirt. I can do that - but knowing me, I'll probably throw in more veggies than flowers! 

Now she also mentioned time - If it were possible, I would take charge of the three kiddos for the whole day! She could spend it doing whatever she wanted - even if that happened to be nothing at all!

And the coffee - you KNOW I could help with that one!

Each week, Hilary over at Feeling Beachie lists four statements with a blank for you to fill in on your own blogs.   This week’s co-host is BETH ANN from IT’S JUST LIFE– She came up with the last two statements!

This week’s statements:
1. Sometimes I wonder why I'm not completely gray yet.
2. I try not to but I get frustrated  very often when I have to speak in public.
3. Today I promise that I will never stop learning until I die.
4. In my dreams I often am looking for something I have lost and sometimes I find whatever it is and  actually remember it when I wake up.

Pondering With a Purpose

It's Thursday! One of my favorite days. Time to do a little "pondering" with Brenda from Ponderings of an Author.  

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:  

Handle

Handle - How do you handle all the things in life that need to be handled? Sometimes I think there is just too much - can't handle it - but I always do. I really don't want to give up control of most of the things that I handle, like the finances although a little help would certainly be appreciated. I willingly turn over the handling of the lawn mower to Biz. He can handle that. He can also handle the grill - I'll handle the dishes.

Now the other kind of handle - the door handle. I like the handles that look like this:

google of course

I have these on all the doors of my house. Trouble is - I  tend to get caught on them. Somehow the strap of my purse ends up around the handle and I end up being jerked back. Truly - it happens at least once a day! But I do like the way they look so I guess I can handle it.

  Skipping Out!

 

This is the time of year which brings back fond memories of when I might not be found sitting in class during school hours:  for various reasons.  If you could "skip" a day -- what would you do?

 I would love to have a skip day! I'd stay at home and finish some projects. I have crochet projects that have not been completed, a quilt that's not been done, not to mention the little projects around the house. Oh, and I have a paper that is coming due and I haven't even started it yet! Can I have more than one day?

Porch Chat

It's time to head over to Patrice's porch for the weekly chat.
QUESTIONS

1. When it's time to cut the grass (mow the lawn), who does it? Biz is the lawn mower at my house.
2. If someone gave you $500 dollars and you could not spend it on yourself, who would you spend it on? My grandkids of course.
3. Have you ever taken a blogging break or considered one? Considering it more and more each day - having a hard time keeping up with everything.
4. Are you bothered by spring allergies or hay fever? If not spring, any other time of the year? Nope
5. What's new with you? New job, new furnace, a few new gray hairs......
