If You Can’t Say Something Nice…

Mommy's Idea

It’s time for Friday Fragments, Blogging edition:

1. My laptop died one week after the one year warranty was up! But I’ve complained, whined, and tweeted enough about it. So, I’m going to turn the other cheek and forget about the $265 said computer company (cough, cough, HP) cost me and just be happy I finally have it back.

2. Therefore, I’ve been missing out on all your wonderful blogs, my friends. After a long weekend of family fun with our munchkins, I’ll be back around next week!

3. I’m in the process of getting a new blog design. I’m going for more of a clean, contemporary look. Hopefully, it will be up next week, so check back!

And yes, I’m double dippin’ today! Because now it’s time for…

My Little Life

 1. What's your guilty pleasure?

 hotcocoa


2. What is your favorite TV series?

hill_street_blues-show


3. Can you speak any foreign languages?

Espanol, un poco and a little bit of Hmong

4. How many pairs of shoes do you own?

I’m not a big shoe person. I have three or four pairs of dress shoes/boots for work, and a few for casual. And, of course, my running shoes (Saucony all the way, baby!)

5. What's your favorite kind of M&M's...peanut, almond, straight up regular, etc.?

Plain M & Ms

Happy Friday Everyone!

So what are YOUR plans for the weekend???

I think anything of mine that ever breaks waits until a week after the warranty is up:) I'm glad you got it fixed though! Can't wait to see the new blog look...and man, you really shouldn't post M&M's so early in the morning! Now I want some:)

Becky said...

That's so funny that you like "Hill Street Blues" :) I love the show "Cops" and now think of YOU when I watch it...that and "Lock Up". :) Oh, and Dog the Bounty Hunter..!

Journaling Woman said...

Oh yeah, the love/hate dance with computers. I am spending time with family this weekend. My favorite thing to do.

Krajcimama said...

I have a (cough - cough - HP), too. DH just bought one. So far (knock on wood) we haven't had issues. Sorry to hear about yours . . . and right after the warranty expired. UGH.

I did 5QF, too! Love the pictures for answers! Great idea! I'm Dark Chocolate M&Ms...Mmmmmm....

Welcome back to the laptopped world. We've missed you :)

We are supposed to be in the 50s this weekend!! So we are going on a hike through the nature trail in the state park just a few miles from our house. We haven't done it since October. One of our favorite activities.

It always seems like things break just when the warranty is up. Sorry hun!

Jamie said...

Need to write. Need to play. Start of kids break ~ so feel somemores in order for tonight. Love your fun blog. jamie

Mama M. said...

You can speak some Hmong?! I'm impressed...I wish I knew Somalian...we have a lot of Somalian patients, and it stinks being the "odd man out" when they're all talking!

Pennie said...

My mom was a cop, back in the day, (She was before her time, that woman!) and she loved Hill Street Blues! Funny!

Sorry to hear about your computer...Murphy's Law, for sure! Glad you're back, though!

Just Breathe said...

It will be fun to see your new digs. I like the five questions. I was thinking your too young for Hill Street Blues, must have seen them in re-runs. I like peanut butter M&M's.

Amy O'Connor said...

Isn't that how it always works out. I actually got lucky and my daughter snapped both eyepieces off of my glasses 4 day before the warranty was up on them!

You guys have an awesome time with your little ones and look forward to seeing you back on here!

Have a great week!

The Crazy Coxes said...

I hate computer problems. Why can't they just work? Can't wait to see the new blog design...blog designs, html code...so not in my skill set.

I'm not a big chocolate lover, but a few peanut butter M&M's are good on occasion.

Bellismom said...

Your guilty pleasure made me feel guilty just looking at it.

Lori: Teacher Turned Mommy said...

love how you used pictures to answer your questions... very fun

Momma Fargo said...

Have a great weekend! Love your Q & A. Hillstreet Blues...I remember when they weren't reruns...YIKES! Great show. Great coffee. Great M & M's. LOL.

Matty said...

Hey, we all need a break. Blogging is hard work.

Como se lamo? Cual es su fecha de nacimiento? Parque le caro. Tu no puedes manehar. After that, I'm pretty much lost.

New Balance for me.

M&M Peanuts baby!

brainella said...

Our air conditioner died one month after the warranty expired. Do they know something we don't?

And BTW...anything with whipped cream from Starbucks is so worth it!

Formerly known as Frau said...

Sucks about your computer! I'm a plain and peanut m&m girl and a recovering shoe whore! Have a great weekend.

blueviolet said...

I love the big oversized plain M&M's, but I don't eat them. They're not good for me. :( I don't even know what my favorite show is anymore. It used to be Grey's but I haven't watched it once this year.

MaryRC said...

Losing your computer is the worst, my family tells me mine died 2 days before warrant expiry and instead of fixing it I got a new and much better one from HP

brooke lynn said...

Jenney said...

Oh I hate computer problems! Glad you're back!

Laura said...

So glad you have your laptop back!! I love M&Ms but I would have to pick peanut, yum! Have an awesome weekend! :)

Hissyfits & Halos said...

Glad to have you back on board with a working computer, once again! Woohoo!

MMMMmm. You and I have to go shoe shopping! ;)

Megan M. said...

Mmmmm! I love your guilty pleasure!

Arizona Mamma said...

With you all the way on the plain M&M's.

♥ Braja said...

Astoundingly frustrating: I'm sitting in a village in India and you mention whipped cream lattes, M&M's, and cable TV.

Dammit.

:)

Mrs4444 said...

I'm partial to peanut butter M&Ms, myself.

That computer business STINKS! What is UP with that?! Grrrrrrr.

Good luck with the blog changes; may it be a stress-free experience :)

Amanda said...

Bethany said...

My HP did the same thing to me back in October. So, you know what I did? Bought a Mac. =)
