VGNO - Where Would You Rather Be

Ann wants to know "Where you rather be, right now?" Well first of all I'd like to be somewhere were it is not raining. I don't know the exact facts, but they have been reporting on our news that we are on track for one of the top rainiest summers. Right now we are like at number 8 rainiest summers in 100 yrs.

With that being said, if it wasn't raining I would just simply like to be camping right now. The summer is rushing by and I really want to get in at least one more camping trip. Here's a picture from our last camping trip. It's at the base of one of the tallest waterfalls in NH.

VGNO - Dreams

Ann asked what is the weirdest dream you ever had? One that came to mind is actually a recurring dream I have sometimes. It involves a boy who used to live down the street from me. Our mothers were best friends and we used to play together. We also went to all the same schools. But I wasn't friends with him once we went into Jr. High.

So it's weird I will dream about this kid, and in it we are either going out or married. I don't know why I will think of him sometimes in my dreams. Because I never once in real life ever had a crush or anything on him. Weird.

I haven't had this dream in forever though. Watch I'll probably have it tonight.

VGNO

Today is Ann's Birthday! Our host of VGNO. Happy Birthday Ann!

Now that it's summer and I don't have to get up early, I've been staying up late. I've been watching Conan O'Brien. Even though I swore I'd be loyal to Jay Leno.

But Conan is actually pretty funny. I saw this group last night on his show. They were really cool. They're called "Playing for Change."



Have a great weekend everyone!

VGNO

Time for VGNO. Click the banner above to join too. Ann's question tonight is how did you meet the love of your life?

I met my husband actually through my sister. My sister lived across the street from my husband's brother. They knew each other for at least 20 years. When I met my husband, he actually had moved in with his brother (my husband actually had just gone through a divorce). My sister had a Memorial Day Party, and we met during that. Which was 1992. And our 15th Wedding Anniversary was June 10.

Have a nice weekend! I am off to my daughter's dance recital tomorrow!

VGNO - Uh Oh Better Call Maaco

VGNO (or virtual girls night out) time again. If you want to join or find out more info, head over to Ann's blog @ Ann Again ... and again.

I'm somewhat in a bad mood. While I was grocery shopping someone in the parking lot hit my car. They actually made some sort of announcement in the store, but I totally ignored it thinking it couldn't be me.

When I finally came out of the store, a young girl was in her car next to mine. She had hit the drivers side of my car. She said a kid had run out behind her car when she was pulling out, so to avert him she ended up hitting my car.

To make a long story short, they don't want to call their insurance, because, I think she was a teenager. And her mother showed up and wants us not to go through the insurance. Whatever! As long as they pay me what ever the damages are!


Anywho - Ann wanted to know if you were ever told you look like a celebrity. When I was in High School a guy I know always said I sounded like Stevie Nicks. And then a few yrs. ago a Dental Assistant that was cleaning my teeth told me I reminded her of someone from the movie "You've Got Mail." Not Meg Ryan she said, but the girl who played her friend in the movie. I had no idea. When I got home I looked who was in that movie. All I could find out was Paker Posey. Don't ask me!?

VGNO - Fishing!

Tomorrow is "Free Fishing" day in NH. I love fishing but it would cost me $70.00 to get my husband and I a license. We used to get licences but now with kids we don't really go enough to make it worth it. And kids 16 and under fish free anyway. But tomorrow I'm going fishing cause it's free! Whoo-hoo! I'm excited anyway.

The only drink for fishing is beer! Probably will get some Coors light for later!

Here's a cool song I found called Beer, Bait & Ammo! Cool!

Ann wanted to know what your favorite flower is. I love all flowers so that's hard to say. It made me think of this crazy tree I saw when I went to the bank though. It had white fuzzy things all over it, they were blowing all over the place. It looked like it was snowing. The fuzzy stuff was covering the grass - big time! It looked like snow! I have no idea what kind of tree it was. I'll have to Google it.

Have a great weekend everyone!

VGNO! Fun Quizes

I joined Facebook about 6 months ago, but just recently started getting into it. I'm starting to get addicted to some of the apps on there. Like Farm Town, I must grow my farm! I'm constantly checking it.

Another cool thing is I've been able to get in touch with my BFF from college. She sent me a quiz last night. Find out your "celebrity twin." I took the quiz and it said I was most like .... OctoMom! Number one I didn't know she was a celebrity and no way am I like OctoMom! I was hoping for something like Angelina Jolie -lol.

If you're on Facebook check out the quiz here:

Who is your Celebrity Twin?




Here's another quiz from Ann

Use the chart to find which Barbie you are. Use the letter of your first name.

A - D = Sunscreen Barbie

E - H = Lactose Intolerate Barbie

I - L = Migraine Barbie

M - P = Blogger Barbie

Q - T = Mini Van Barbie

U - Z = Bi-Polar Barbie

I would be Mini Van Barbie, which kind of fits since I drive a mini-van. What kind of Barbie are you?

(I just upgraded from Silver Mr. Linky to Gold Mr. Linky for only $1.07. Testing to see if this works now)

Looking At The Sky On Friday #15 & VGNO

The other night, while I was watching the American Idol finale, I looked out my front door. I saw a lot of pink in the sky so I snapped some pictures.

Bad news - Adam did not win. I said I would not get upset no matter who won, but I lied. I am still upset that Adam didn't win!

Good news - I won 3 different blog giveaways this week! One was the giveaway from Ann, another is for a candle and goats milk soap, and the one I just found out last night is a Pepsi Throwback Giveaway! Which has $150 worth of stuff from Pepsi! I'm so excited!

Anyway here's my pink sky picture:

Go here for more participants:

Hope everyone has a nice Memorial Day weekend. We are just hanging around and maybe plant some tomatoes. And my daughter is going to march in the parade with her Brownie Troop on Monday.

VGNO - I Won!

I was excited last night to find out I had won the giveaway from Ann! I won the Happy Mom Bundle from Knock Knock! I never win anything! Thanks Ann.

When I was in college a drink my friends and I used to like was Sex On The Beach.

1 1/2 oz vodka1/2 oz peach schnapps2 oz cranberry juice2 oz orange juice
Add vodka and peach schnapps to a highball glass over ice. Fill with equal measures of cranberry juice and orange juice, and stir.

Which then reminded me of my best friend from college, Julie and our favorite song. Ice Ice Baby! I found out recently that she's getting married in October! Yea!
