list of 10 - 10 things for a perfect weekend - May 11, 2012

 

I just finished reading Paradise Valley by Robyn Carr.  This was the best book in the series so far.  I was losing a bit of interest in the series after the last few, but this one knocked it out of the ballpark.  It is a definite puffs plus book.  (Need something more tender than kleenex). ha ha.

 

I was thinking that I haven't done a list of 10 in a while, so here is one.

Another list of 10 plus ramblings ~ March 21, 2012

It's happening again.  I need to take a break from Facebook.  ha ha.  Who would have thought that would happen.  I go on to play a few games, but have cut way back on it.  Guess what???  I actually did housework today..  Yup..  I sure did.  Along with that I am reading another Robyn Carr book, and did some on my afghan.

 

Yesterday Mary, from my Happy Hookers, showed me the V stitch afghan, and I can do it and I really like it.  Now if only Michael's will get in the yarn I started with... They have been out of so many yarns lately.  I can't wait until Hobby Lobby opens.  I smell a field trip coming up.  ha ha..  It's just what we need to get Michael's to shape up.

 

I tired greek yogurt for the first time today, and do I like it?? Not so much.  ha ha.  I tried the Fage with cherry.  It was so thick and reminded me of sour cream, which I don't like unless it has sugar in it, but the Honeybell Orange was sooooo sweet.  Now I'm sitting here thinking about supper.  I am leaning towards hamburgers and green beans.  I got some fresh beans from the farmers market on Monday, and they have been really sweet, so I am hoping these are too.  Beulah even likes them... Oh wait, those were the frozen ones she liked.  She'll either have to like the fresh ones or not share my supper.  ha ha.

 

It has been a sunny dreary day.  Quite an oxymoron.  It is overcast at times, and then sunny.  I was sitting out with Beulah reading, the sun was shining, and it was raining.  Just a drizzle, but hard enough that I didn't want to get my book wet, and you could see the rain landing in my cup of coffee.  So I came in, turned on the AC, and am sitting here typing this.

 

Here is another list of 10 things.  Please feel free to post yours.

 

10 Things I am grateful for (not people or animals/pets)

 

 1. The ability to read

 2. Books and magazines

 3. Coffee, especially the first cup of the morning

 4. TV..Yes, I watch a lot of t.v.

 5. Crocheting.  It is new to me and I'm loving it

 6. Air Conditioning

 7. Eyeliner.  I am not vain, but a little help doesn't hurt.  ha ha

 8. Pain Management. My back not hurting as much as it usually does

 9. Butterflies that remind me of Don, My mom and dad.

10.The computer

 

I could go on and on, but 10 is good. What are yours?

 

Well, until next time........

Okay, Back to the List of 10 of 100

 

Today I thought I would do 10 Things People May or May Not Know About Me.

10 Favorite Games - January 21, 2012

Well, here it is Saturday evening and I am going to hunker down with either the book I’m reading, reading the new magazines I got from Judy, the postcards I am sending from postcrossing, watching t.v., or my crocheting.  As you can see, my evening is wide open….Who says we don’t have choices?? ha ha.  I think that frozen coffee I had tonight may be why my eyes are like saucers.  Earlier I thought I would need toothpicks to keep them open.

Went to scrapbooking today, and did absolutely NOTHING.  Just sat and talked.  I don’t think anyone did anything.  Danielle (you’ll get to know her, and lots of other people too), was showing how to use the Cricuit Machine.  Me..  I need to learn when I’m actually using something.  My brain does not compute on all levels, contrary to popular belief.  Ha ha. I really enjoy being with the girls both at scrapbooking and crochet. 

If anyone wants to give me any ideas for my “10” lists, please let me know
. 

Today the list will be 10 Favorite Games


1. Bejeweled on the computer 

2. Bingo Blitz on the computer

3. Zuma Blitz on the computer

4. Words with Friends on the computer

5. Scrabble

6. Card games like poker, solitaire, etc.

7. Bunco

8. Pokeno

9. Jeopardy on the computer

10. $10,000 pyramid on the computer

Oh my goodness. I just realized most of the things I do are on the computer.  That is not a good thing.  To much on my back, although I have cut way back and try to only be on for 10 or so minutes at a time.

Well, leave me your 10 Favorite Games, and maybe I’ll become addicted to them too..  Ha ha..  Would love for you to share.

Until the next time…..
