Fragments Feel Good on Friday!

There are 2 memes I like to participate in on Fridays- Mrs4444's Friday Fragments and The Girl's Feel Good Friday. Buttons are at the bottom of the post- click over to join in on the fun! ***** I got the most awesome compliment from someone yesterday. A friend I know through a local mom's website started reading my blog. She actually went back to the start of the blog and had gotten to Aug 2009 when she sent me a message letting me know what a great time she was having. So I went back and glanced over August 2009 (I hope you will go scan through, too). So funny to see what is still the same and what has changed! Farmer's Market- still the same. Pics of my kids- so different! A post I wrote about love and marriage that I'm still proud of. Posts about the State Fair last year- which I enjoyed more than the Fair this year and reading those posts helps me understand why. So fun to go back!! ***** It's a LONG weekend!! We were supposed to go to TN for a family reunion. For a variety of reasons, we haven't been able to go the past few years and were eager for the trip this year. However, our house/dogsitter is out of town that weekend and Christy is off to Paris and my in-laws are going to TN for the reunion. That is our plan A, B, and C for taking care of Sassy! We don't like the idea of kenneling her. She hasn't been kenneled in a decade. She's 12 years old and weighs 8 pounds. I have friends who have offered to keep her- but they have dogs and I'm just not comfortable with sticking my ltitle 8 lb dog into a pack of others, you know? ***** Trying to get my hair back to the right shade of red is annoying. The first color I went with was too dark and too metallic. It was supposed to be permanent but sure did rub off all over the towel every time I washed it! Tried a different color and brand and I think it will be better but it needed more time on the roots to hold. So that is one task to get done on my day off today- I will try yet another brand and shade! ***** This is post number 1,004. That is a lot of typing! ***** I've mentionned a project I'm going to be working on that I'm excited about... it's for FitCity and I get to do some interviewing and experiencing tomorrow that I'm very excited about! ***** What fun plans do you have for the holiday weekend? If it's just a regular weekend... what are your plans? Since we were expecting to be out of town, we have nothing on the schedule this weekend. I do plan on going to the Farmer's Market on Saturday. Other than that... it's up in the air!
