Aloha Friday #10

An Island Life hosts this meme. Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.


I thought of this question awhile ago, but it kind of goes along with it being Friday the 13th.


My question: Have you ever been to a Fortune Teller and had your fortune told?

My answer: No. My roomate in college was really into that kind of stuff, and she almost had me talked into seeing one she knew. But at the last minute I backed out, I just don't want to hear whatever they have to say.

Check Out LeapFish Search Engine

Do you do a lot of searching on the internet? Searching on Google or Yahoo or even Bing can be sometimes flat. Well now there is a really cool new search engine I just found out about. It's called leapfish.


The cool thing about leapfish is that you can search in real time. I just visited leapfish to do a search on Red Sox news. Because if you know me, you know what a huge Red Sox fan I am. And even though the season is over, this time of year there is still a lot going on with the Red Sox. Such as trade negotiations and contracts and who will be back next year.

I just found out on leapfish that Jason Varitek will be coming back as the Red Sox catcher next year, but he won't be the starter anymore. He will be the second catcher. This is big news for all Red Sox fans.

Another really cool thing about leapfish is that you can and share information in real time results. For example when I searched for news on Jason Varitek, I came up with results on the web, news results, Twitter results, video results, and even blog results about him. And leapfish also allows you to share your search results.

I love that feature. I love searching for things and then I want to share them. I shared my search results on my Twitter, and I can also share on Facebook too if I want. That is so cool! And if you want to look up Google, Yahoo, or Bing results on something you can do that too all right on leapfish.

Check out the video below for more information!

WW #81 "Veterans Day Parade"

I just got back from the Veterans Day Parade. My daughter marched in it again with her Girl Scout troop. My daughter is holding their troop flag, which is cool, because her leader always times what girl is holding the flag. Because she knows where everyone's parents usually stand along the parade route.

Happy Veterans Day, everyone.

Ruby Tuesday

My kids buy their lunches at school. But once in awhile my daughter doesn't like what they are having. And the only kind of sandwich she likes is PB&J, which you can't bring to school hardly anymore because of the peanut butter.

So we bought this thermos. Which has really worked out well. She can bring everything from ravioli to spaghetti & meatballs in it.

Mellow Yellow Monday #21

I know every year Christmas starts earlier and earlier. But it kind of still bugs me to see it. I took this picture (with my cell phone), the week before Halloween. My son and I were in the store buying his costume. And the Halloween candy was being pushed aside for the Christmas candy, and decorations.

Oh well, it makes for a pretty picture. Yellow Carmel Popcorn and other Halloween candy, and red and green Christmas decorations.
