Word: Triggin

Take a guess, what does it mean?

Put your thought in comments and then come back around 3 - to see - if you were "write" or wrong.

Tuesday Tour

Portland at night - it's a beautiful sight.

Tuesday Treat - A Mask to Wear

Who doesn't need a mask to wear sometime? I love to slip one on when my husband is reading late at night in bed. I know, we lead an exciting life. And polka dots...make me look stylish even when I'm asleep - he-he

So, if you're interested in supporting art and artists, here's one who works in the medium of fabric, check out this site: Magnus and Jane

And here's a great gift idea for all our chicken loving friends - I mean coopwise.

Movie Review Monday - Paranormal Activity

Okay, Saturday I ran the 10K Helvetia Half Drop - I finished!!! My time was slower than I would have liked but I'll do better next time. I ran under a friend's registration # because she injured her knee and couldn't do it and had already paid the entrance fee. So, the good news is I wasn't the last lady in the 30-34 age group. I was getting near the end though - so sorry to ruin my friend's running history (at least on paper) but at least I finished.

So Sunday I was pretty tired. I watched Paranormal Activity, which was a fun movie if you like creepy stories. It's a Blair Witch kind of show: filmed like a documentary but all fiction. That's the bad part though. It would have been soooooo much more interesting if it was based on some true phenomena but no it's all make believe.

Now I've got to go watch the season opener of True Blood - and believe me, this fanpire is so excited :)

Picnicing and Protecting the Planet at the Same Time

With better weather, we begin to drift outside. And what better way to celebrate the sunshine - than with fantastic food.

So pack up a basket and head - like Yogi - for a picnic in the park. But before you decide to use paper plates and napkins with plastic "silverware", why not make this a memorable meal?

Pack up your best plates, glassware and silverware and dine with more than a little taste. What's the worst that could happen and it's more likely you'll make a memory that will live on forever.

Pick a theme, romantic afternoon, playful picnic, or finger food...? It doesn't matter you'll have a great time no matter what the theme.

And if you use real plates, cloth napkins and even stainless steel "silverware", you'll be protecting the planet at the same time - no waste and even the leftover food might be shared with the "wildlife".

So go outside and play - in the park. Then come back here and let me know if you had a funtastic time.

Before Summer Fades Away

Winter is gone - Summer is here
Raise your voice – give a cheer!

No more reasons to pretend you’re sick
No Reading Writing or Arithmetic
Video games played all day long
Whistling in the wind your favorite song

Days spent swimming at the park
Playing outside until way too dark
Sleeping in and having fun
Time passes quickly in the sun

So hurry now – go outside and play
Before the summer fades away

A New Addition to the Family

Time to add another pet to this menagerie - well kind of - Trooper is a goldfish that we've had for a while but just set up his home. I bet he thinks he's swimming in the ocean after his stay in the goldfish bowl.

So do you have any pets? What's your favorites pet memory? Love to hear it.
