Woo Hoo - It's Friday!!! I have some good news too - - - The company I work for has been trying to get a certain development going for a few years now, and yesterday we got the full go ahead!!

Who was the last person you wanted to give a piece of your mind to?
That would probably be my daughter's EX gymnastics coach. Long story, but she quit gymnastics, not because she was tired of it and wanted to do something else, but because she could not deal with him anymore. Unfortunately he is the only coach in town, so she couldn't just go somewhere else.

With the new TV season about to start - Is there one show you're really looking forward to see because of how the season finale left you hanging?
No - We only have one channel, and I don't really watch TV much anyways.

Last time you picked up something for someone?
There were a couple shirts that my daughter had picked out when we were at the store. I couldn't get them at that time, so we hid them. I went back a five days later and they were still where we had hidden them, so I grabbed them and brought them home to her!

Do you say:
Bouquet
BOOquet or
BOWquet - This one!

Vase
V-long a-se or - This one! I don't think I am quite "sophisticated" enough to say it the other way!
V-aw-se

National Hot Cross Bun Day -
Oh! Susanna Day - la la la la - - with a banjo an my knee!
Make Your Bed Day -
"I Want to Start my Own Business" Day - I'm not so sure after handling all the financial matters for someone else's business... I think I like just getting a paycheck!
National Emergency Responders Day - My hat's off to all of them!

I hope everyone has a great weekend!!

I don't give a "piece of my mind" to people very often, but I do give them the Peace Of Mind in knowing that Jesus loves them.

Hi there everyone! TGIF for sure!

Today's Question(s):

Who was the last person you wanted to "give a piece of your mind to"? Probably one of my kids, or the doctor who admitted my daughter to the hospital without telling her that her insurance wouldn't cover it.

With the new TV season about to start is there one show(s) you're really looking forward to seeing because of how the season finale left you hanging? Ummm...maybe Brothers and Sisters or Desperate Housewives - I don't know. Lost, perhaps.

Last time you picked up something for someone? I picked up my daughter Wednesday to take to college because she can't drive for 6 months.

Do you say BOO-quet or Bow-quet? Boo-kay

Vase: v-long a-se

patience [pey-shuhns] noun: the quality of being patient. Okay, okay, I said I was working on this!

Make Your Bed Day - oh, maaaaannnn
"I Want to Start My Own Business" Day - I always wanted to

I'm happy to say, I can't think of anyone! It really is a good day!

Is there one show(s) your really looking forward to see because of how the Season finale" left you hanging ?
The only show I watch faithfully is "Two and a half Men" Oh yeah - I'll be checking it out,
Now if only Charlie Sheen could stick to acting & stay out of politics!

Last time you picked up something for someone ?
Medication, food, you name it....all for my mom. Just got back from Colorado to help her after a fall.
Perhaps the thing I should remember is that SHE picked up something for me: my spirit.

Do you say

Bouquet

BOO-quet
Bow-quet

I'll say both of these any way you want if it'll get you to buy some flowers!!
