Sweet Shoppe Blog Challenge

Image from here

For this weeks Sweet Shoppe blog challenge, we are talking about our favorite Girl Scout Cookies. They are in the purple box. They were called Samoas, but I'm not sure if they are called that or not anymore. I just call them the caramel ones. These ones don't last long in our house. Me and Lexi will finish off the box rather quickly. Of course, we only buy cookies from our favorite little Brownie, Isabella.

Sweet Shoppe Blog Challenge

It's one of those days again. Time to take the quiz from the Sweet Shoppe Blog. This time it's on flowers.
My results:
Apparently, I'm Affectionate

Roses Say You're Very Affectionate

You are a classic romantic who believes in true love. You often experience deep emotions and feel warmth toward almost everyone. You are a bundle of positive feelings and sweetness. You can are easily hurt, and people should be careful with your heart.

Kinda funny. John bought me red roses and had them delivered in time for Valentines Day. Well, I HATE red roses. Always have for some reason. I like pretty colored roses. Not yellow ones, unless they are in a bunch with other pretty ones, like pink, purple even an orange one or two. You've seen the spring like bunches of roses at Costco. Those are the pretty ones!

Anyway, long, dramatic story made short, the red roses died shortly after we got them. I swear, I was taking care of them properly. The money was refunded, thank goodness!

Sweet Shoppe blog challenge & a layout

First I'll start with the layout. This was a picture of Quino at the park about two years ago.

That's him in the various places on the playground. Makes me want to take the kids to the park and try it again.

Next is the blog quiz from Sweet Shoppe. It's just for fun, doesn't quite fit me.

You Are a Maverick

You're a restless rebel with an unpredictable nature. Bright but unbridled, you tend to seek out wild experiences over new ideas. People are frustrated by your great potential, but you love your unconventional life. You're a heartbreaker. People get attached to you, and then you're gone. Your strength: Your thirst for adventure Your weakness: Not taking time for slow pleasures Your power color: Hot pink Your power symbol: Figure eight Your power month: March

So tell me what's the Word

On the Sweet Shoppe blog, today is quiz for which word you are. I'll get to my results later.

Anyway, when I saw it, I immediately thought of Pee Wee singing the Bird is a Word. Remember on Back to the Beach with Frankie and Annette? C'mon, who didn't see that one back in 1987? We loved it and watched it over and over . . . the movie that is.
click here if you want to see Pee Wee sing (you tube video).

Then when I was thinking "word", I thought of John. Not that he says "word" or anything, but because I know he would start singing Word Up by Cameo.

You know the song,

Wave your hands in the air Like you don’t care, glide by The People as they start to look and stare. Do your dance, do your dance quick Mama, come on baby, tell me what’s The Word, ah – word up

If you want the song stuck in your head all day, click here.

What do you think of when you hear, "the word"?

Now on to my quiz results:

Your Word is "Peace"

You see life as precious, and you wish everyone was safe, happy, and taken care of. Social justice, human rights, and peace for all nations are all important to you. While you can't stop war, you try to be as calm and compassionate as possible in your everyday life. You promote harmony and cooperation. You're always willing to meet someone a little more than halfway.

What's" Your Word?

The Scrooge of Celebrations

For this weeks Sweet Shoppe blog challenge, we are supposed to tell how we celebrate our birthdays.



Well, for me personally, I can't remember ever liking my birthday. I'm think that it might be because I can't stand to be the center of attention. I hate baby showers, wedding showers & birthdays. Hmmm, I must be the Scrooge of Celebrations.

Although, I don't mind if it's someone elses birthday. Just not mine!
(I'm not sure if "elses" is a word, but it's early and I couldn't think how to word that one . . . rolling eyes)
