Fragments on Friday...whew!!!!!

Welcome to Friday Fragments #225!  It's a great place to finish up your week, catch up with the adventures of others, and prepare for a great weekend!  Mrs4444 of Half-Past Kissin' Time, sponsors this breath of fresh air each Friday, and I always look forward to it. 

It's been a whirlwind of a week trying to get back to a routine after having a wonderful Thanksgiving Day with my family in St. Louis!  I'm racking up the holiday hours working at a "fine" department store here in Chicago, which just might negate all the of the charging that Santa is doing for the family....

This coming Tuesday, I will have interview #2 at a local middle school, to work in the office.  XXX your fingers, please!  If it is meant to be, I will be able to get off my feet for awhile. If not, at least I still have the department store job...the job where I have a great employee discount!

For a great holiday gift idea, please check out my post from yesterday, "And She Sparkled", about a delightful book by Joan Steffend. 

Here's to a great Friday and hoping your weekend is nothing less than splendid!  I think it would be fun, and a great endorphin release to perform a random act of kindness!  I challenge you to find someone who could use a little help, and then sneak like a Ninja on them!

Thanks for stopping by!  Please click on the Friday Fragments logo below and pay a visit to some great friends of Mrs4444!

My First Interview!!

I'm so, so excited! Nobody has ever interviewed me who wasn't going to turn in a school report. The "Interview" is being conducted by a terrific lady by the name of Coffee Bean over at The Righteous Buzz. Here are ten interview questions that she has submitted, asking her readers to answer at least five. Go ahead and give it a try yourself, and then post a comment here telling me that you've answered. I will do my best to refer my three readers to your blog!

Question #1: What was your favorite toy as a child and if female, did you prefer dolls or stuffed animals?

Question #2: Are you superstitious...ie: #13, cracks in the sidewalk, black cats, walking under ladders, etc., and in what ways.

Question #3: Do you procrastinate and in what ways?

Question #4: Do some people's mannerisms such as the way they eat or breathe, ever both you and what do you do about it?

Question #5: Who is your favorite actress, actor, singer?

Question #6: What is your favorite movie of all time?

Question #7: What is your greatest fear?

Question #8: What is your greatest accomplishment?

Question #9: Where do you see yourself in 5 years? (Ha Ha)

Question #10: How old are you and how much do you weigh? Ha Ha Ha...I don't think so...

Here are my answers:

#1: I preferred dolls, and my favorites were my "Tiny Tears" and "Raggedy Ann." I still had my Raggedy Ann up until 5 years ago when I put her in the washing machine. I thought you could put anything in the washing machine! Duh...poor Anne's face exploded and I was devastated! My friend bought me a new one.

#2: Superstitions: I always toss salt over my shoulder when I spill it. I don't know why...I have just always done it. I think it's for good luck--bad luck if I don't!

#3: Check out the heading of my blog! Yes, I procrastinate...as often as possible! I put off paying bills, sending birthday cards, cleaning, laundry, making dinner...the list goes on forever! I am trying to improve; I really am!

#4: My hubby and I both snore, a lot and very loud. We end up playing musical beds to get away from each other so at least one of us gets a decent night's sleep.

#5: Wow! I am a slave to the entertainment industry. I love so many...let's see. Comedic, dramatic, theatrical, movie, pop, rock, jazz, blues...my head is spinning! Actress: Christine Baranski - I will watch anything she does. Actor: Jack Nicholson - I love to hate him. Singer: David Cook - melts my heart and turns my knees to rubber!

#7: Drowning is my greatest fear. I've had many nightmares about being directly underneath a tidal wave.

#8: I actually have four greatest accomplishments - my kids - Hero, Rock, Ed & Katya! There's nothing greater in my life. (Well, maybe some forms of chocolate come close...)

#9: I see myself in a Retirement Home with my own refrigerater and TV remote.

Well, there you have it! Please go visit Coffee Bean at The Righteous Buzz! You will love her and her blog!

Thanks again for stopping by!
