Scrambled Randomology

I have been trying to keep myself from participating in so many blog hops. But the wonderful photo and sticky note and random thoughts hops keep snickering little teases into my ear making me post! I'm only kidding-THEY SCREAM THEM! :)


The second edition of Picture this Thursday is coming up! You should play along!

With wordless Wednesday, the pictures usually don't need a caption or explanation. They speak for themselves.




I linked up to the following:



Only Parent Chronicles

Dialect Video

I thought this looked like fun so I thought I'd give it a whirl. This was spur of the moment so excuse the lack of composure! Haha! Does the camera really add 10 pounds? Yes! Oh, and yes, that is the traffic outside my window that you hear! Annoying, huh?

Aunt, Route, Wash, Oil, Theater, Iron, Salmon, Caramel, Fire, Water, Sure, Data, Ruin, Crayon, Toilet, New Orleans, Pecan, Both, Again, Probably, Spitting image, Alabama, Lawyer, Coupon, Mayonnaise, Syrup, Pajamas, Caught

What is it called when you throw toilet paper on a house?
What is the bug that when you touch it, it curls into a ball?
What is the bubbly carbonated drink called?
What do you call gym shoes?
What do you say to address a group of people?
What do you call the kind of spider that has an oval-shaped body and extremely long legs?
What do you call your grandparents?
What do you call the wheeled contraption in which you carry groceries at the supermarket?
What do you call it when rain falls while the sun is shining?
What is the thing you change the TV channel with?

So, did I pass? Am I normal??  :)

Bring me spring & flowers & sunshine {please!}

As we continue to get more wonderful (NOT) winter weather, we continue to get cancellation calls from the school every morning.
It's Thursday and there hasn't been a day of school yet this week. Jim, however, is enjoying sliding out of the driveway in the van.
All I can say is he better not damage it! There is a utility pole at the end of it!!
Camden and myself have both taken spills in the driveway which continues to be a long, thick, never ending sheet of ice. I'm hoping we can still take our trip to Jasper without Camden missing any school. But at this rate, the two days that she is scheduled off  may very well become snow make up days. If that will be the case, she will be doing homework on our mini vacay!
More later,
Vanessa

Don't forget! The very first Picture This Thursday-Winter Photos

Just a friendly reminder that you can go to {THIS} post and submit your winter photos for the very first Picture This Thursday! I hope I have some participants! But I realize it may take awhile for it to potentially catch on. And if it doesn't, I'll continue to post every week. I'll just be doing it in the fetal position as I cry in the corner!

Picture This Thursday-Winter Photo's-1

Welcome to the very first Picture this Thursday! Don't we all love showing off our favorite photo's we've taken? I do! I'm sure it will take awhile to get this off the ground. (If it even does!)Yes, I know it's Tuesday! I posted this early since it is the first post ever. Partly because I was excited but mostly to give everyone time to get some photo's uploaded.

It will work like this. I will post this weeks photo's and also inform you of the category for next week. Which will allow anyone that wants to participate but that may not have a photo for that category an opportunity to get those pictures! There will be a linky (because I want to see everyone's photos!) that will be open for probably 2 days.

I only ask two things:
1. Please follow me as the hostess.
2. Use the "Picture this Thursday" button in the post.
You can also post to your sidebar if you'd like.
It's that easy!
So, whatcha waitin' on? Get snappin!


The category this week is:
WINTER

Picture This Thursday

Next week's subject will be:
SOMETHING RED

Here are my photo's this week





Is it cold out tonight?

I complain. A lot. About many things in my life. Not as much as some but I do it. I'm human. We all do it. About all of the terrible things life has thrown at us.
Right now in Chicago it's 20 degrees. New York 28 degrees. St. Louis 31 degrees. Columbus, Ohio 28 degrees. And there are people, humans, just like you and me that have no shelter from the elements. From the wind & rain to the ice & snow. Many won't make it through the night. So while we sit in our sheltered and warm homes, remember to be thankful for just how much you have. Those without a place to live would gladly trade our little annoyances and problems, large or small and trade them for their own. I guarantee some of these people would see a much brighter reflection in our eyes than what we see for ourselves. Life is not always as bad as we tend to make it.
