Friday Fragments - Opening Ceremony

Mrs. 4444 hosts our weekly meetup. Go see her and all the others who participate. Look she made a new button too.

Stupid criminal this week was a man who tried to rob a woman of her car. He went into her garage and demanded the key. She gave it to him and went back into the house closing the garage door after her. She called police. Police arrived and man was still in garage. I'm guessing alcohol was involved since he never tried to leave the garage.

Anyone catch the new Olympic sport team figure skating last night? I actually sort of got excited watching it (the Japanese male skater was awesome). I'm going to have to explain this concept over and over to many people I think. Tonight is opening ceremony and Whitney will be home to watch it with me. Woohoo!

You can watch all the events online live if you want to or you can watch the compilation that NBC puts together at night. Nothing will be live at night since they are 9-13 hours ahead (depending on where you live in the US).

Our new bible study got cancelled this week because of weather but that works out because my group added a second choice and this will give me time to have the book shipped to me. I wasn't excited about the first choice but was going to go only to have time with my friends. But now we are going to do Beth Moore's study on Daniel. This sounds much more what I want in a bible study.

Did you know that Wednesday was National Weatherperson's Day. All of my favorite meteorologists were at their annual convention so I couldn't personally thank them for all that they do. Never blame a meteorologist for bad weather. They don't make it...they only forecast and research it. I know...I work with them every single day.

I'm making a conscious effort to dress better for work. I work in a very casual environment where I wear jeans every day. I've gotten into a bad habit of wearing worn out keds all the time and frankly I'm tired of always looking like a poor college student. So I'm trying to make sure and wear nicer shoes. I'll still be in jeans but definitely need to step it up. Of course it is so cold out today that I wore a sweatshirt and tennis shoes to work but I'm trying to keep warm. 

I'm also trying to have conversations with people. When we moved to this building seven years ago I never see anyone anymore. I spend all my time in my office and never run into anyone unless they come see me. So I need to get out and have conversations with others. 

I have my theme for A-Z Blog Challenge narrowed down to three things. I'm really leaning to one of them but I just need to make sure I can come up with all the letters. If so, I think it will be a great series.

Friday Fragments

Joining up with Mrs. 4444 for the usual emptying of one's mind. And so we commence...


What the heck is the Harlem Shuffle and why do I keep having youtube videos pop up about it?

Stupid criminal of the week comes from Florida. Seems like a young man dressed as Batman drove a vehicle into a house. The stupidity was it was his parent's house. I think they could ID him.

I wore red for Valentine's Day. Nothing else special about the day. Which is just fine with me.

My bible study this semester is tough. I'm not quite into it and I don't know what to do. It was suggested that I buy the book that goes along with the study guide. But shouldn't the video and study guide be enough? Maybe I just can't relate to the topic. It is only five more weeks so I can get through that.

Did you watch any of the Westminster Dog Show? The dog who won is called Banana Joe by his family. I have to admit I've never heard of a dog called that. It really doesn't fit him.

Well after our little snow earlier in the week we are back to sunny and 60 degrees. Really, I would like more snow or rain. The sun is nice but we need precipitation. I'm afraid I may have to pull out the old rain dance moves if it doesn't happen soon.

Abby's infection cleared up nicely after just a day of antibiotics. She is such a good dog that I hate when she doesn't feel good (which has only happened a couple of times in 8 years).
