Thursday Thunks

Welcome to the November 5th version of Thursday Thunks!

This week we will answer some

crazy questions brought to you by

Kimber, the color of sweet potato pie and the number B12.


1. Mad Cow disease, Bird Flu, Swine Flu...what barnyard animal will cause the next big outbreak of disease?

Oh wait I think that already is a disease...
Oh well I thought the cartoon was funny :)

2. Sesame Street turns 40 this month. If you were to be on Sesame Street, which character would you want to be in a scene with?

3. We are out shopping for a new laptop. Which one do you pick and why?

I actually didn't pick one, I don't have one. I do have a netbook though.
I love it but again I didn't pick it I won it...lucky me!

4. Have you ever dried a flower in a book (pressing)? If so what was the flower and the name of the book?

Yes, weed flowers LOL as a child and I believe it was called YELLOW PAGES! ROFL!

5. Do you think it's important to study other planets? If so, why or why not?

YES, how else would we learn things like: (copied from THIS website)

Pluto is a dwarf planet that usualy orbits beyond the orbit of Neptune. It was discovered by Clyde Tombaugh on Feb. 18, 1930 (Pluto was considered to be a planet from its discovery until 2006, when it was reclassified as a dwarf planet).

Pluto has one large moon, Charon, that is close in size to Pluto. Two minuscule moons were discovered in 2005.

Pluto is smaller than a lot of the other planets' moons, including our moon (Pluto may actually be an asteroid). Pluto is the only planet in our solar system that has not been visited by our spacecraft yet. We only have blurry pictures of its surface. Pluto's composition is unknown. It is probably made up of about 70% rock and 30% water (this is determined from density calculations).

Pluto is STILL a planet, they call it a dwarf planet and I think the only reason someone decided to say it wasn't is due to the fact stated above - it is the ONLY planet not visited by our spacecraft. Hmmmm did those aliens outsmart us or what?

6. Have you ever walked out of a movie at the theater? What was the movie, how much was the ticket and why did you walk out?

No I don't think I have ever walked out when I have paid for a ticket although a long time ago I worked at a theater and I have walked out cause my break was over.

7. Does the city/town you live in have traffic enforcement cameras? Have you ever gotten a citation/ticket/fine from one? If so, did you pay or fight it?

No we don't have these.

8. If your neighbor is having a baby would you buy a baby gift for them?

I might I suppose if I had some but I really don't have any neighbors.

9. How many questions are too many questions?

you'll know when you get there and I stop putting answers :)

10. Do you have a handwritten journal you write in everyday?
No I have facebook and twitter.

11. Have you already made plans for 2010?

Some yes.

12. Thursday Thunks has a huge party for all those who play along each week. Where is the party, how long does it last and does Kimber fall off the roof dropping crayons? If so, what color of crayon does she fall on?

Do we get to wear our party hats?...This the dungeon is it?...why does Kimber want to fall off the roof?...is there a roof, I thought we were in the dungeon?...Wait don't hurt the crayons...hey give me back my purple crayon...please can I have another drink...Wait am I at the right party?...Ahhhh nice drink...Where am I?

13. We may have "blogger celebrity" questions in the near future. Are you excited?

idk who/what is a blogger celebrity?

Hello I found my way back!

WOW it has been almost a month since I blogged - I apologize. Seems like a lot has been going on but yet not really...time just keeps rolling on by!

So what have I been up to? Well let's see...

I've been shopping with my dd for her wedding dress, we found some things we like and some we don't and are going to actually end up having the gown made. A little of this one and some of that one and then this and that added too :) Fun Fun Fun!!! We also went to a bridal show and learned a lot of what we don't want and saw some fresh new things we would love to have included. Yeah I keep saying we but she is making the decisions I just happen to like the ones she is yeah and nay"ing".

Hmmm we went to Charlotte for the race in the middle of October and made a vacation of it, staying with my SIL. Had a wonderful time and for sure didn't want to come home even though it was unseasonable COLDDDDDD while we were there!

After we got home I found out my boss was cutting my hours at work...NOT PLEASED WITH THIS AT ALL...NOR WITH HOW IT WAS HANDLED. But since I am wanting to find employment no bashing will be going on here I surely don't want it hanging over my head. So yes I am looking for employment part or full time preferably days so I can still see my family and help my daughter with wedding planning. If anyone knows of something please message me. I would love to find something I can do from home, please only something tried and true not a scam Make Money at Home plan please.

Let's see what else...well we went to a fish fry and a monthly drawing and then the next night was Halloween and we went to a Costume party and there was a band. Then it was my birthday and my dd took me to lunch and then my dh came home and spent the evening with me just watching a show here but he stayed awake! LOL

We've also been playing darts and Wii Bowling, mostly I just bowl cause the darts hurt my fingers/hand too badly. Dang carpel tunnel :( I've also been crafting when I can and working on Guest Design things, Design Team things and my Creative Council stuff. It all keeps me busy and usually the time flies right by.

Ok so I'll be back tomorrow with the Thursday Thunks! See ya then!

hugs,
Karyn

Thursday Thunks

Welcome to the October 8th version of Thursday Thunks!

This week we will answer some crazy questions brought to you by
Thursday Thunkers, the number 301 and the color ketchup red.

~This week we will answer questions from the Thunkers themselves. All questions were copied and pasted directly from the blogs. We will continue thunkers questions next week so if we haven't used your question yet... we will!~

1. Bud- What type of meme question is the hardest?

None are really hard - they just make you think sometimes LOL!

2. Smart Cent's Mom- If you could be any person living or dead, who would you be?

idk - sometimes I think it would be nice to be one person and then another - I think I would like it to be like Quantum Leap and I could try different lives out.

3. Thom- You accidentally bumb into someone at a store and you apologize. The person you bumped into says no problem and you notice food stuck in their teeth. What do you do?

I would probably say something cause if the situation were reversed I would want someone to tell me.

4. Captured Memories- "Do you ever shed a tear when you poop?"

no

5. Mejis- If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, it's still a tree, right?

this is one of those things that makes you go hmmmm like why so they call it a parkway when you drive on it.

6. Tosin- What is something you have said to someone that you wish you could take back?

I wish I hadn't ever said I hate you to my parents, I wish I hadn't said some things to my dh over the years, I wish I hadn't told my ex-friend I didn't have enough money for something that was important to her and had I just figured out a way to work it out there probably wouldn't be an "ex" in front of friend.

7. Annie's home- not feeling very creative here so I will ask if you were in the Big Brother house how would you play the game?

I know I am not able to do the challenges like them so I think I would have to just buddy up with everyone be the likable one in the house, not cause controversy and keep my fingers crossed each week that I make it through.

8. Meandering Matt- Mac (which is still a PC (personal computer) in my opinion) or PC (Microsoft)?

I am a PC but MAC is way hotter than PC in the commercials!

9. Living Dead Nurse- Do you think Jay Leno’s show should be cancelled?

I have never watched the show so I have no idea - wouldn't care one way or the other.

10. Dixie Chick- I LOVE VICTORIA SECRET PANTIES AND THEY ARE THE ONLY KIND I WEAR. JUST BOUGHT 5 NEW PAIR THE OTHER DAY. 2 BLACK, 2 RED AND 1 PURPLE. THEY ARE ALL FRESHLY WASHED AND READY TO WEAR. MY QUESTION IS.....WHAT SIZE BRA DO I WEAR...?

I don't know, don't think I really care either.

11. And finally one by Kimber (just so you don't think I am too lazy)- There is a rattlesnake living behind the warehouse my husband's company just moved into, tarantulas in our side yard, scorpions all around at night and coyotes howling and running down the street in front of our house. So what color sheets will you want on your bed when you come to visit me?

Clean ones :)

Funky Socks

One of my groups today asked about our socks soooo.....

I took a picture of the ones I was wearing and shared :)

Figured I'd post it here also so you can see too {grin}

Sorry it isn't cropped and all that but I am at work and took it with my phone LOL!

Live a little wear some fun! No rules say your socks have to match the outfit.

Lather Up, Laugh It Up, And Have A Colorful Day!

Welcome to the September 24th version of Thursday Thunks!

Where we make you think
a little bit before you blog!
This week we will answer some crazy questions brought to you by Kimber,

the number 1172007 and the color of the walls in an asylum.

1. Does soap or shampoo have to really lather up for you to feel that it cleaned throughly?

You mean you aren't supposed to just lather, rinse, repeat all day long?

Or what about waiting for it to squeak isn't that the same as the "clean whistle"

2. Do you have a long standing joke with someone that you still laugh about every time you talk to that person?

I peench I peench! (they'll know)

Others to :)

3. Share something that happened to you this past week that was unusual.

I had the bed all to myself and no snoring in my ear!

4. If you dropped a purple crayon and a green crayon off a roof, which would melt faster in the sun?

Probably the green cause I couldn't find it to pick it up if it was in the grass and it would be shorter than the purple too so less to melt since I color more green things than purple things (can't you see I am using green text! Which thank you very much I picked before I got to this question!)

5. You are standing in line (grocery store, bank, etc.), and someone gets in line behind you that stinks. The stink is so bad that people in line in front of you turn around and look to see if you are the one causing the stink. Do you cover your nose, hold your breath, breathe through your mouth or just get out of line altogether?

Dude(tte) I am OUTTA there! There is nothing I can think of that i need that desperately that I can't go back for another time.

6. If you dropped your cell phone in the toilet, would you fish it out? If so, how much soap would you use to wash your hands afterwards?

Seriously? Did you hear about the girl who got wedged in the porta pot trying to fish her phone out - NO WAY I would do that! GROSSSSSSS not enugh soap or disinfectant in the world.

7. Sydney Australia dust storm (link). How long do you think it would take you to clean your house after that sort of dust storm?

One good rain for the outside :)

Hello is this Molly Maid? - about 2 minutes of my time - no idea how much of theirs :) Did I mention I do NOT like to clean any more than I absolutely have to!

8. Do you think you can dance?

Yes I can but I don't know if anyone else thinks I can but neither do I care!

9. You are out to eat and someone across the room is staring at you. Do you get paranoid, try to ignore them, or go find out why they are staring at you?

First wipe mouth, chin, check the chest for spillage, if nothing then smile at them, if they still stare go on over and say can I help you?

10. Come up with a crazy, wacky Thursday Thunk question.

Sweet or Sour pickles?

Ouch, denim, news and that desert island question again....

Well I have missed a few weeks of thunking and today finally am finding a few moments to get back to it :) So here we go.....

Welcome to the September 17th version of Thursday Thunks

This week we will answer some crazy questions brought to you by Berleen, the number one thousand twenty seven (1027) and the color of leaves in the fall. (My favorite time of the year all the colors!)

1. My daughter (aka Demon #1) informed me the other day that her hugs were worth a million dollars. Would you give up hugs - giving and receiving - for the rest of your life, for a million dollars?

No I don't think I could do that - hugs from my daughter, my husband too yummy :D and someday grandchildren - no I think they are worth more but I am not denying that a million $$$ would be grand too!

2.Have you ever been bitten by a member of the canine family?

Unfortunately yes as a a result am pretty darn afraid of them. Very few dogs I have been able to tolerate since then, I still freeze up and beg my dh to protect me for the most part. he is very understanding and runs interferrence for me.

3. What is your favorite color of jeans?

darker blue is what I generally choose - stonewashed but not washed out or bleached

4. What is something that has changed in public schools that you wish was the norm when you were in school?

I honestly can't think of much, I went to private school for elementary and then highschool was public but only really 2 years as the last 2 was work study so I had all of an hour or two of class LOL!

5. What is your news source?

I read my local newspaper online (http://chroniclet.com) and I troll the newsites ( http://wkyc.com and http://woio.com) for most other info. I do listen to the radio while driving that long long 9 mile drive to/from work a couple days a week and it is on as background noise during the day while I am there. I also occasionally read a newspaper mostly Sunday editions if we happen to go out and about on Sunday and pick one up. I really rather like living in my own little world LOL!

6. What sort of people do you think read your blog?

Why other thunkers of course and a few friends I also have a crafting blog and my fellow DT members read it along with other crafters round the world.

7. If I told you that I had a headache, you would say..........???

Probably lend you this new roll on thing I got the other weekend from Bath & Body Works as it has helped me get rid of them when they are just starting. I am wishing I had bought more than one actually so I could keep them in several locations.

8. You go to a buffet style restaurant, what is the first food you put on your plate?

The only buffet I have been to recently is a Chinese one and I of course went straight for the crab legs LOL! Usually if we go that or seafood based dishes are my first choices. ohhhhh like this mixed seafood and cheese dish Mmmmm ok now I am hungry for it!

9. If you were stranded on a desert island.... no, we aren't asking that again. Lets put a twist into this. Would you volunteer to be dropped off on a desert island, to be picked up in a month? And you don't get to bring those 3 items, either.

I don't get to bring what 3 items? Do I get to bring any items? Hmmmm if I could just have a book and some lotion and some....

Hell Ya I would go - PaRtY...VaCaTiOn TiMe!!!!!

10. When the sun sets, what are you usually doing?

stuff :D

Depends on the day.
