This Stupid "Reply" Button!
Ok - I simply cannot figure this out. I can "reply" to comments on other people's blogs but I can't reply to any comments on mine! If I hit the "delete" button it does come up and work (at least I think it would, I always cancel because I definitely do not want to delete anyone's comment) but absolutely NOTHING happens when I hit reply! Does anyone have any ideas? I know it's working for some of you since I've seen some replies posted on other blogs.
5 question Friday
Time to head over to Mama M's for 5 question Friday! Except this week we're actually going over to Kate's Life since Mama M is on vacation!
Rules for 5QF:
Copy and paste the following questions to your blog post, answer them,
then watch for the linky post to appear and LINK UP!
This weeks questions are:
1. What's the last thing you bought for yourself?Books - been buying quite a few Kindel books (thanks to Brenda)
2. What is your favorite meal on a cold winter day?
Biscuits and sausage gravy - nothing like a good breakfast to warm you up in the morning - although I usually only have time for that on the weekends.
3. Have you started looking at swimsuits for this year, and do you buy a new one every year?
I do actually buy swimsuits but only at the end of the year when they go on sale - I have one of those quick set pools that I put up in the back yard.
4. If you could be any candy what would you be and why?
Reeses? I guess because if I had to be a candy, I might as well be the best.
5. What are you most passionate about?
Easy one - you should probably all know by now that I am passionate about my children!
As far as pinterest - I just recently checked it out so I haven't really pinned much - it will probably be crochet items or recipes.

Follow Friday Four Fill-in Fun
Welcome to the 45th weekly Follow Friday Four Fill-in Fun Blog Hop!
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 ME! The last two statements are mine!
Hilary would LOVE it if you could please help her spread the word about this hop…. So, please tweet, FaceBook share, and add the linky to your post…
This week’s statements:
1. I have never eaten ___
2. I like to ___ in ___
3. If I could go back and change one thing, it would be _______.
4. My greatest _____ for my ______ is ______.
.
My Answers:
1. I have never eaten turtle - although my kids have and they say it is good - I just can't do it.
2. I like to "garden" in the warm months - and I'm ready!
3. If I could go back and change one thing, it would be nothing - not that I haven't done LOTS of things I regret but I'm afraid if I changed anything, I may not have the things I cherish the most - my children - and I honestly believe all the trials and struggles have made me a stronger person. (sorry, I'm sure that was more information than was needed or wanted).
4. My greatest desire for my children is that they never have to go through some of the struggles that I did.

Pondering with a Purpose
Thursday is here again and it's 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!
So this week the subject is: Routine
Routines - I guess they are essential but can be so BORING at times. Other times they can be stressful. Mostly I think they are somewhat comforting. You get into a routine and it just feels comfortable. If something causes that routine to change, it upsets your whole day. My routine is about to change. The Spring 2012 semester is upon me and I am taking two classes -Ethical, Social and Legal Issues in the Digital World and Advanced Microcomputer Applications. I don't think they will be all that challenging, at least I hope not but I will still have to get back into the routine of doing homework and studying. I often ask myself why I am doing this to myself at the age of 52. More often, I think "Why wouldn't I?" Tuition is free (comes with the job) and I just can't think of any reason not to take advantage of it. So my routine will change next week when classes begin. It may take me a while to get back into the swing of it - or it may just come naturally.
