I missed last week... but I'm catching up this week!! It's Friday Fragments time!! And let's go ahead and Feel Good while we're at it!! Fragment:
It can be really tough eating in a restaurant with an active 2 year old. Zach wants to climb under the table, run around, talk to people, look through windows- everything but eat or color. We ate at Red Robin the other night and they had him hooked. Nickelodeon cartoons. No sound- just the animation. And he stayed mostly quiet and calm. Mostly.Feel Good Fragment:
I got an award!! I love blog awards... my friend Mary at Clean Shavings has honored me with the Kreativ Blogger award. Thank you!! Go visit her- she's is sometimes fun, sometimes passionate, very open and honest about her life, sometimes serious, sometimes frivolous.
I apparently need to tell you 7 things about myself and then pass this on to 7 other bloggers.
1. I was born in California.
2. I've discovered Poland Spring sparkling water with fruity flavor essence. My favorite is Raspberry Lime- especially if I add a wedge of real lime!
3. I often have bonus posts and pics and such on my Facebook fan page. At first, I wasn't sure I would use my fan page, but I like having a place where I can write Notes about eating, exercise, frustrations and get pretty immediate feedback. So if you aren't a fan yet, I'd love it if you'd join us!
4. Jeff has me watching Battlestar Galactica now. I'm hooked- thanks to those who recommended it (I think it was C. Beth and Mimbles)!
5. I've been asked to do something for my church that I've never done before. I haven't made my final decision to do it- but am really leaning towards it. Actually, by the time this posts, the decision will be made!
6. One of my favorite books growing up was The Album of Horses. I had a hard cover copy of it and lost track of it years ago. I named every horse in it and made up stories about them. I used to pretend that our apartment stairwell was a stable. I miss that book.
7. They have turned the air up FULL BLAST at work. It's now loud in my office and cold- even with my space heater going full blast- which adds to the loudness. I've put in a request to have my vent closed. I'm not usually one to be cold- but I'm icy!
And 7 blogs to pass this along to would be...

I still have my hardcover "The Album of Horses" :-)
Battle Star Galactica watching may be partly my fault - no doubt I tweeted on the subject on occasion. It was one of those things that I watched because I really wanted to know what happened next but which also drove me nuts because there were characters I COULD NOT STAND and writing choices that made me want to throw things at the TV. But on the whole it's pretty cool :-)
What's going to be next after that? If you haven't yet seen Farscape then you should!
Love the kid pic!
I wanna try Red Robin. They aren't in my area yet!
Those numbers kick butt! Congratulations!
There was always a chunk of time in each of our kids' lives when I kept them far far away from restaurants and grocery stores. It passes
I love the crayon in Grandma's manicured hand.
Have a great weekend.
Phrase: "You control happiness" ?
"Live, Laugh, Love"
OOH here is a suggestion... How about you are funny or silly... Inspiration from your lovely kids.
I still love hiding balls up jumpers
The kids are too cute!!!
I want to hear about the church project/assignment!
Congrats on your award!
COngrats on your award! I enjoyed your post.
Wooohoo! for Red Robin activity mats. haha!
Great job on your "numbers".
The pic of the kidlets is too cute. heehee
Happy Friday!
Nice numbers!
I also have my hard copy of Album of Horses, plus almost every other book Marguerite Henry wrote and Wesley Dennis illustrated. More in common, haha!
Some ideas for inspirations:
"What makes you stronger...makes you stronger!"
"You are one of God's miracles."
"I love my life."
@mimbles AGREE with the Farscape recommendation! I have every season but the first one on DVD, Liz! Just sayin...
I second the others in their congrats on your number and your adorable children.
Poland Spring is my favorite plain water. I love it when i travel and find that.
I seem to be a one word person instead of [phrases. How about Gracefilled, Gratitude, Peace and Abundance?
I'm from FGF. Love your Frags.
Thanks for the award! And yes, Galactica is the coolest show EVAH.
An inspirational quote: "You are enough."
Funny you should mention Battlestar Galactica. My husband showed it to our teens recently. You know, cultural education- It's a parent's job.
They enjoyed laughing.
I like Red Robin and love the kids' picture. Very cute.
You matter.
You rock.
You make a difference.
You can do it.
You deserve it.
(Cheesy, but I gotta say it...)
You complete me.
Aw, shucks, Amy. *blush*
How about, "You are smart"?
Your parents are cute (as as the kids, of course :) It's nice that they gave each other to play with, when Teagan's not in school, of course.
Way to go on the cholesterol! I had a blood test yesterday and don't look forward to the results.
