It's Friday! -a week in review

So, again I feel like I've been a bit neglectful on the blogging front -although I loved taking a little vacation last week -it seems to take awhile to get caught up on everything! Like my TV showz -which really it's hard to keep up on that stuff anyway ;) I've also been a little preoccupied with reading the Hunger Games trilogy: I know I might be a little late to that party -But, at least I read them before the mass hysteria hits when the movie(s) come out -sometime next year -Can't wait to see that!

I've also been trying to keep up with going to work out -but, haven't done that much either.

At my son's school they're gearing up for a fun Bingo night -next Fri. -Been helping with that some too.

So, yeah just getting back on schedule of the daily grind -And glad today is Friday!

Have you seen this video yet? Seems everyone is talking about it -It's true not the best song or singer but, hey she's just a kid and I know it's better than I could sing and it's kind of a catchy tune - especially since it's Friday ;) -Happy Friday and weekend!

The Friday Five

It's been awhile since I've done a Friday Five - This will be the 1st 1 of 2011 actually! I don't have any specific topic for today but, did have a few things I wanted to share - So, here's today's RANDOM Friday 5 ...

1st -Around here we have the TV on kid shows a lot -and there's a fairly new show called Shake it Up:

Anyone seen it? So, I'm thinking the red head reminds me of someone and then it hit me...


So, I know on Shake it Up they just dance not sing but, still -Whaddayathink?

2nd -Speaking of kid shows we've been watching House of Anubis on Nick -Well, mostly me and my daughter - Anyone else been watching it? It's full of mystery and is about an American who goes to school in the UK -so, most of them have lovely accents :)

3rd I try to watch Regis and Kelly everyday -Yesterday Kelly had her husband fill in as her co-host and I pretty much love this whole segment:
Ahh the joys of married life and sharing about it on national TV ;)

4th -I know it's soo 2010 but, I love this video - a collaboration of cat videos from 2010 -Sorry Couldn't embed -have to click the link.

5th -Last but, certainly not least is a video of my son doing some "comedy" -Enjoy =D

And that's today's Friday 5 - Have a good day and weekend!

The Friday Five

For today's Friday Five -I want to talk about something fun -like... Gummy bears! -or is Gummi bears?-(I've seen both spellings) Well, anywho -Here goes 5 videos related to Gummy bears:

1. Do you know how big the world's biggest gummy bear is? Well, if you watch this video you will:


2. There's this funny video that my son loves to watch about a Gummy bear -Here you go:


3. Speaking of gummy bears -Remember the cartoon? Here's something to jog the memory -and probably get the song stuck in your head;)

4. And speaking about that show -Here's a movie spoof about it: -The embedding has been disabled so you'll have to click here to watch it.


5. Also about movies with gummy bears -Anyone seen the movie Cloudy with a chance of meatballs? -This is what happens when gummy bears attack -Maybe they were the 5 pounders ;)


Well,that's it for my Gummy (Gummi?) Bear edition of the Friday 5 -I bet you feel so informed now-Huh? -I swear I love taking a random subject and coming with 5 things -Maybe 1 of these days -I'll do some from your suggestions -Got any?
Well,have a good day and weekend!

Did I start something ?

Have you ever noticed that when you get a new vehicle -all the sudden you notice that particular vehicle seems to be everywhere?! Even though it's probably not any more or less than it was before - I'm sure there's some fancy word for this kind of observation ??

Anyways, I've been noticing this on the word -Mayhem -Used to be the only time I heard it was for a wrestling match or something -But, lately it seems to be everywhere -Take for instance this:

Allstate's new advertising campaign -They are funny commercials like this:

I've also recently heard it more in the context of this blog -But, for Parenthood in general -like this:


So, I'm just saying did I start something? ;) Oh and BTW I know these are both advertisements which if you would like to know I am not affiliated with or got anything from -Although I would recommend watching Parenthood -great show -does reflect -The Mom Mayhem well :)

The Friday Five

Time for another Friday Five -and today is pretty random alright! - It's 5 odd observations I've had lately - Here we go:

1. Taylor Swift -Love her songs and everything! But, a lot of times I see her -I think she looks like someone-But, who? This actually happens to me a lot-But, I think I finally figured this 1 out! -She looks like - The original Barbie:

So, whadyathink -Quite a bit of resemblance -Eh?! I'm just saying maybe more than the actual Taylor Swift dolls:

2. Chips and Salsa:

It seems most Mexican restaurants have Chips and Salsa for you to eat while you order and wait on your meal -But, at other restaurants if they offer chips and salsa -You have to buy them separately as an appetizer -What's up with that?

3. Cracker Jacks: 1st -Mmm But, 2nd and onto my point -I'm pretty sure this is 1 of the 1st foods if not the 1st to offer a "toy prize" -But, you don't hear people saying it's a "bad food influence" on kids -No, you only hear about that on things like Happy Meals at McDonald's ...

4. And speaking of McDonalds ... - We got a box of stuff from my MIL some things were my husband's old belongings,some were just old toys-etc. she wanted to get rid -And 1 of the things in there was some McDonald's videos -specifically -Ronald McDonald's Wacky Adventures -Like this:

5. If that's not weird enough -we watched some and I noticed similarities to some of today's cartoons- like Grimace is like the sidekick of Spongebob aka -Patrick:

Huh? Huh? Whadyathink? Also not too mention similarities to the show Dora the explorer -Could the Hamburglar be the original Swiper? And the little chicken mcnuggets are like the little spanish music playing dudes?! Just saying -Have I revealed too much craziness today? ;)

Well, that's it for now -Have a good Labor Day weekend!

The Friday Five...

I wanted to start something new called- The Friday Five! It will be 5 things about a certain random topic.


Today I wanted to share five random things that people may or may not already know about me....

1. I love chocolate -Yum!!

2. I love TV especially that "junk" called Reality TV =D

3. Yes-that means I totally loved the 1st "Real World" which started my guilty pleasure of reality TV and I just got done watching the Bachelorette ;)

4. I love to take pictures! -Here's a couple of my "best shots"



(These are flowers from a tree in my backyard. I kept trying to get pics of the bees-etc. around them. I finally got a good 1! )


5. I love writing and sharing my thoughts-Part of the reason I started this blog -of course :)
