OK, I got tired of blue.
Decided to try out my alma mater colors.
Baylor University is Green and Gold. Supposedly some guy saw a field of daffodils and liked the colors. We'll see if this stays. Makes the links harder to read I think....
To quote Number 5 "Need more input. Need more input."
aahhh, name that movie and I'll give you another of my (very few) recipes ;-)
Tell me what you think...got a color recommendation?

Go and See!!
Y'all just got to see this buffalo take care of family business!!
Always remember, Don't mess with the Daddy!!
Always remember, Don't mess with the Daddy!!
Grinning with Gritted Teeth
My children are incredibly endearing and incredibly aggravating....often at the same time.......
Like when Gator-boy is running across the living room as fast as he can and without slowing down runs right into your knees. He uses his belly like a bumper car and tries to see how far back he can bounce. Giggling the whole time.
Gator-boy is again messing with Sugars' swing. I say "Gator! Stop that!....ONE" Sonshine says, "two, three you're gonna get a spanking!"
You're driving along, got Veggie Tales music playing on the back speakers. Boys are just hanging out quietly enjoying the scenery. Then all of a sudden Sonshine "sings" the last word of a song at the top of his voice. First time he did that to Subvet (who has hearing loss and can't hear the tunes when turned to the back speakers) he almost ran off the road.
During that precious time of day known as nap-time just when you think everyone's asleep and you can relax a bit, you hear the sound of giggling coming from the boys' room.
While playing with the baby you notice a smell. You know, oooh that smell, can'tcha smell that smell... You're thinking this must have been a power dump so you go stock up on baby wipes..get an extra diaper just in case...break out the hazmat uniform from Mr. Mom, complete with clothespin for your nose...only to open up the diaper and find ghost poop. You know what ghost poop is don'tcha? All smell, no substance. That kid done faked you out.

Thesaurus Thursday
Well it's Thursday again (well almost) and so it's time for me to pick up my handy Webster's College Dictionary and see what page I grab at.
Well, funny thing, I know the meanings for almost all the words on this page. But there was 1 that I didn't, although I won't be surprised if some of you do know it.
Our word this week is
jute
That's jute and not Jute.
Jute the proper noun is a member of a Germanic people that invaded Britain in the 5th century AD, settling mainly in Kent.
It's nice to see a public reference book that still uses AD instead of CE. Of course this particular version of Webster was printed in 1992 so that may have something to do with it.
As always, have fun creating your own meanings for our word of the week and I'll put up the real meaning on Saturday!

Best Shot
OK, I'm gonna join in something new here.
I got the idea from Linda at Are We There Yet?
Here's the scoop
Chris's idea is "to breathe some fresh air into old posts, to share some linkage, to expose readers to new blogs (now will be a good time to de-lurk and publicize your blog!) and maybe get each other some more traffic." What he's suggesting is that you go through your archives, find a post that you thought was pretty dang good but wasn't very well received or was written so long ago that your now devoted group of followers never saw it to begin with, and link to it in a new post (i.e., this one!) To do that he proposes that you follow these simple rules:
Write a post telling your readers about your ‘best shot’ and link them to it.
Link back to the blog which first asked you to give your best shot.
Ask your readers for their best posts, and then ensure you read and comment on them.
Now, I haven't been blogging too long, but there were a couple that folks seemed to skip over that I just loved. Of course, I can't just do one...neither could Linda :-)
So I'll put them in categories of sorts.
This first I'm gonna link to is Soothing the Savage Beast That savage beast would be me. I absolutely adore this video. I will go back and watch it any time I'm feeling stressed.
Next up is Look Before You Touch. This is such a classic "Mommy Chronicles" story that I wanted to share it again.
My first ever post Credit Cards is pure irony.
Then, there is my all time favorite Wait...weight. It actually doesn't fit the criteria for this exercise...however, when have I EVER followed the rules?? This thing just cracks me up. It's another one that I'll go back and rewatch over and over again. Since Cookie at The Cook Shack stole it from me (I'm sooo honored!!) I'm sure many of you've seen it already by now. But sometimes, we just have to enjoy a good laugh!
OK, Lurkers, de-lurk and tell me about your favorite posts. Commentators, comment away and don't forget to come tell me when you put up your "best shot"
