Some “Shout Outs” and a Meme

May 1, 2008 by Elaine

I feel like every time I have posted this week I have added myself to a Mr. Linky. He’s workin’ overtime this week I tell ya! I think I will give him a break today and those of you who just happen over here will have the benefit of today’s Miss-Elainey…

Now I want to call attention to the extra lovely changes on my blog and once again give all the credit to the illustrious Karen who added even more beauty to the blog. I am more than happy with the end result and just want to mention again how wonderful she is to work with. If you need or just want a new design I urge you to check her out!

I also want to send some readers over to see my friend Jennifer’s blog. She participated in her first carnival this week (yeah for her!) and has two cute boys (like me – tee hee!) and can I just say what beautiful cakes she bakes? If you search her archives you will see what I am talkin’ about.

I grabbed this meme from Musings of a Housewife and since I got nothin’ else today, here you go!

Where is your cell phone? Who knows. Most of the time it stays in my purse or the car, which is usually where my purse is.

Your significant other? Is “the bomb.” Loving, giving, wonderful father, smart, hard working, etc, etc.

Your hair? Needs to be colored in a major way

Your mother? She’s pretty wonderful. See this post

Your father? My teacher and inspiration

Your favorite thing? Chocolate

Your dream last night? Don’t know

Your favorite drink? I don’t know if I really have one. Is that weird?

Your dream/goal? To lose a little weight

The room you are in? Our den

Your ex? A sweet guy. He lives somewhere in the same area as me and sometimes I wonder what he’s up to. Saw his parents a few months back.

Your fear? Tornadoes

Where do you want to be in six years? This place is good. Think I will stay here.

Where were you last night?
Same place, reading blogs and working on my post

What are you not? Patient

Muffins? Huh? Sure, muffins are good.

One of your wish list items? Chocolate

Where you grew up? Austin, Texas

The last thing you did? Kissed my husband goodnight.

What are you wearing? Navy capris and a light green top

Your TV? Is on probably too much

Your pets? Do the bazillion stuffed puppies on my son’s bed count?

Your computer? An old Dell laptop that needs replacing. But I love you my dear, really I do! (and I need you to keep working until I can get a new one!)

Your life? Just as I’d always hoped.

Your mood? Good.

Missing someone? Baby who’s in bed.

Your Car? 2005 CR-V – love it.

Something you are not wearing? Socks

Favorite store? Target

Your summer? Not sure yet… hope to go somewhere on vacation. Also, lots of time at waterparks and pools.

Like someone? How old are we again?

Your favorite color? Greens and reds

When was the last time you laughed? Tonight at dinner with other Moms

Last time you cried? I cannot really remember.

Who will repost this? Not sure but have at it if you want to!

    Okay so if you are wearing capris then it must be warm there. It is COLD here.

    So much for spring!

    Love the new additions here too, very pretty!
