Bits and Pieces

I am so ready for fall...

We don't get much of a fall down here in Florida, though, so I'm excited for all you northerners to start posting pictures of deliciously beautiful, crunchy, color-changing leaves!  I have to live vicariously through your pictures, so please don't hold back. Thank you.





Heard at my house recently: "Dad, don't mess with the that. You know only women can defrag computers!"






My fabulous friend Sheena had a birthday this month, and to celebrate, she has been giving things away on her blog. Not promotional items, or stuff that she is reviewing, just gifts from her heart. I was so excited that I won, not one, but two of her giveaways. The box arrived in my mail, and it was so great I just have to give you a peak inside....
Lots of fun books, a journal (I've been needing a new journal, so this was perfect timing), a gift card, a beautiful necklace, and a.....wait, what is that green thing?  What, little green thing, what are you?  An Ipod?
How awesome is that? This is the first Ipod to ever enter my house, I'm feeling very fancy now, and dancing more than ever!  Thank you Sheena




I'm thinking about making some changes around here. More color is what I'm wanting. No stress is also what I'm wanting. With that in mind, it might be a while before changes happen.




A fairy visited our house. I know this because I caught just a bit of her shadow, there at the right, on film before she flew away!
(or Katarina was using her Tinkerbell toys to make wall shadows. I'll let you decide)




This weekend, my to-do list is to finally respond to blog comments from the last week two weeks three weeks.





Do you have fragments of your week that you would like to string together to make a post? Stop by Mrs. 4444's place and link them up with her Friday Fragments!

  1. Stopping by from FF! I can't wait for fall. After 6 years in FL, last fall was our first one back, I so loved it. The other day I walked into AC Moore, and the smells of fall surrounded me.. I can't wait until the first day of fall to burn one of those fall scented candles!

  9. Last night was the first time in several days that I had time to just sit down and read blogs. The comments...that's another story. I always says to new bloggers, "Be careful what you wish for." :)

    WOOHOO! Congrats on your big wins!

    I look forward to sharing our fall colors with you! I also look forward to seeing your "fall color" change on your blog. Have fun with that!

    Thanks for playing FF :)

  10. What great prizes. I'm feeling you on the blog catch-up. I can never read or return emails as I would like. I need an entire day, no joke.

    I don't want summer to end, because winter makes me sad and grumpy.

  12. it stays pretty warm here in the fall but this year I am so looking forward to just that little bit of a cool down and the chance to get outside other than straight into the pool.

    Love the fairy photo - that looks likes Cinderella's carriage she is waving her magic wand over :-)

  14. What wonderful gifts! There's a little surprise for you on my blog today! And no ... it's not one of those awards that requires you to answer a dozen questions and pass it on to 5 or 6 other bloggers. :) Love you, girlie!

  15. Congratulations on that nice giveaway package you won! I won some very nice Snoopy dish towels once in a free blog giveaway. It was a nice surprise!

    I live in a suburb of Cleveland so we do have pretty leaves in the fall. We love going to the park to see all the different colors!

  19. Its been chilly here the past few mornings, and as I was loading Claire up into the car this morning to make an OJ run to our local store, I noticed some leaved on a tree across the street changing. Odd, because it's only the end of August. It's actually kind of pretty to see that spark of yellow in the middle of all the green on the tree. Although, changing colors means snow, and I am not fond of snow.

  20. I am so there with you... it's one of the things I miss most about living in SC after growing up in Canada is the wonderful crispness that Fall brings!
