Aloha Friday-Game Time

Oh yeah it's Game time this weekend.

Do you get together with friends and family or, do you just hang out at home?

I am not a game person and neither is the family. However we are having family over and going to have Chili, hot wings and dips/snacks. All the things game people love to have. We have a birthday to celebrate. Critter will be 8, can you believe it! Time goes by so fast. He wants a Oreo cookie Cake. So I am making one for him.

Aloha Friday-The Plan versus Resolution

So, how many of you have continued with Your New Plan for the year?

As for me.... I really am just continuing on the road to a healthier me. This week I have done well on the Meat twice a week Plan. Having Soup and Veggies mostly. Still on the Sensa Plan. Loosing slowly but I am loosing!

I really do not call these thing resolutions. That is because my feeling is resolutions seem to rarely make it to the third month of the year. However a Plan can be modified as needed, making it easier to get done or achieved. This months plan is working well so far.

Aloha Friday-Favorite Tech tools.

Here we are in a new year 2012. When I was in my teens ( 1960's) the thought of being alive in the year 2012 was unheard of. Guess the mind just didn't conceive it. My grandmothers were in their late 40's, parents in the 30's and I had only a couple great grandparents alive, They were in their 70's. Therefore at the age of 16 the thought of the year 2000 and being here was not applicable.

do you remember the year 2000? everyone thought the world would end as we knew it. It did not, In fact we have made great progress in technology. Smaller cell phones, No longer distant fees, Internet that go all over other the world and new ways to cook food. Music at the drop of a hat, any time you want it. Paying one carrier for TV, Internet and Phone. Games to play with folks from far away and Cars that run on Solar and re chargeable Batteries. I am still waiting for the ones the Fly!

And my hubby just asked me if a "Googled it"! Let's add that to the mix. We can find out anything from car symptoms to health problems. Boy that can keep the doctors and auto mechanics on their toes.
Oh and one more thing shopping. We can get anything delivered to our door and pay just as much or maybe less for it online.

Technology in this century as so great. I am happy that I am here to see it and share in it.

Now to your questions.......

What is you favorite Technology tool in this year? What are you hoping to see this year in a new tech tool?

My answers.... I love the internet and the ability to interface with so many folks from around the world.
I am hoping that they will discover how to clean my whole house in 10 minutes. Now that I think I will work on. Start timing it folks and let's get those patent in. Think of the millions we could make. Beware "Shark Tank" we are coming your way.

AF---FeaturingThe Dinning Room

AKA ----- The Reindeer Room. When I was little the flying reindeer always amazed me. A few years ago I learned that NASA had always reserved the airways on Christmas eve for Santa and his Flying Reindeer. this must mean It is TRUE! Oh yes I am a believer, even in my Older age. Found a book on this subject some time ago. It was then that the dinning Room was Pinning the name The Reindeer Room. To Salute their duties. I love decorating this room.

so, here is the book I wrote about.

Your Friday Holiday Question:

What is your favorite holiday Look? Do you like Snowman, Santa, Reindeer, Angles or maybe you have another. I would love to hear yours.

Getting House Ready

Have been decorating the house for a party next week. I started decorating a few weeks ago. First the Tree went up. Then some outdoor lighting. It took me a while to get to the Kitchen and Solarium. Still working on them. Getting House Ready is fun, I turn on the holiday music and start moving.

Planning a Holiday party for this Friday. So Planning the Appetizers and drinks is on going. there is a show called the Chew, Love the show. They had some good ideas on the food side. I might try out the stuffed Mini potatoes. Looking for a good kid friendly punch now. Of course the Mulled Gluhwine is a must for the adults. Maybe even Spiced apple cider.

I hope the weather will be nice. Want to have the outdoor fires going. I will have to post the Photos of the house throughout the week. Thinking about featuring one room per day. I have six rooms that are holiday decked out. That will work out fine for the upcoming week.

Today I wanted to show the Hallway. It can cost a lot to purchase Holiday photos. I have been adding to mine each year. This year I had gone out to look a came back empty. With the ecomony tight, there was just nothing in my price range. Driving back home I got an idea from remembering a Germany friend. Every year she would use her own house pictures and deck them out. So, with a cost of about 2.50 per picture this is the results.

A Hall lined with Presents.

Now if you viewed the first photo, You noticed one of the photos is not hanging straight.
Well, That is because there is a noise maker attached.
Folks will want to straight it and it will make a glass break noise.
The tag says nice/ naughty.
Now if they straighten it the tag will says...
Naughty.
I just had to do something funny for the party.

The hall entrance view...

So your question......
Are you planning a funny thing for the holiday?

Aloha Friday...Season changes?

Wow, what a week! I was able to get the pool winterized, cleanup the decks, move a swing to a lower patio and remove a tree. The weather has been Fall like so the warm sun has helped out. Here the the Western hemisphere the sun is going down before 5 pm (1700hrs). It is crazy to me every year, not sure I really like this. The shorter days do affect my mind and body. We are eating in the dark and it seems to be too late to me.

Do you like the season change of the sun? How do you handle it in your daily activities?

Aloha Friday.....It's begining to look.......

Are you starting your holiday decorations?

I have been working on the outdoor lighting. figured with the warm weather this is the perfect time. Then I can enjoy roaring bonfires and Hot Gluhwine. All this in my own backyard. Christmas in the yard. Still working on the hot tub house, I think I will light that area with the snowman lights. Together with the snowfall machine it will be like the ski resort. What a happy feeling!

Just had to post this on 11/11/11 at 11:11.

Aloha Friday....End of time?

Today is the day according to a person (Harold Camping) the earth to end.
2011 AD—On May 21^st, Judgment Day will begin and the rapture (the taking up into heaven of God’s elect people) will occur at the end of the 23-year great tribulation. On October 21^st, the world will be destroyed by fire (7000 years from the flood; 13,023 years from creation).
My mind keeps reminding me that Jesus said "No one know the end of time but God himself, not even I know...". So I do not believe it when someone says the end to time is here and He is there.

However, I watched The Chew, a Cooking program on TV, they had the last supper Meals. Things folks would endulge in if they knew this was the end of time. Thought it was quite interesting. That got me thinking ....

What would be your choice for a Last Supper?

I would love antipasti for an appetizer, a Good Lasagna with garlic bread and a glass of red wine. Then for dessert a piece of Coconut Cake.

Blogging is sometimes frustrating. I have been thinking about how to improve my sites. Trying to figure out what folks like to see on blogs can be tough. With so many different followers, one has to guess what will be of interest to folks. So, for today's questions I will ask.....

2. Does Food blogs interest you?
3. Is seasonal information your cup of tea?
4. How about Current News interest, Is that on your eye catching list?
5. Or are you one that likes to see into the family life of the blogger?

Now for me I like Current New interest, food blogs, and if I find a blogger I relate to, I love reading the going ons with them. Photos bring life to a post and I do like reading articles.

Friday Questions- Serious or Humor?

Some days I feel like a serious show watcher. Something like a Murder mystery or a True story. Then there are days I just want to laugh. That is the two sides of me.
Really do not know why I am like that. Married a funny guy, who loves to joke. At times I just can not handle the joking. But then again I find myself using his type of humor! What has gotten into me, Is it the 33 years together and now I am him!?
Oh well The Two will become one at some point.

So Today I am in the humor mode. I really have been there for sometime now. I guess it is because I am looking for the happy part of life. Trying to not be so serious in everything. It can be a downer to some folks. Trying to be more laid-back in my attitude.

So, shows like "Raymond" and "According to Jim" makes me laugh at family life. How funny things can look at times. I even love to watch The Defenders. Jim Belushi is so funny that it make this Lawyer show humorous as well as serious. Now I like the two( Serious and Humor) together. I think a good balance of the two is great to have.

So my Friday Question for you is.....

What is your fancy...Humor or Serious? Can you tell me why you like the one you choose?

Fridays Question- That Early Spring Feeling

We have been enjoying this warmer weather , one more day of it here. Then the cold returns and maybe some snow. I have a little feeling of Spring fever. You know the kind , When I want to get out and work those garden plots. Last year I was not able to do it, Due to a Broken Arm. Today I will get out there and work my new herb garden. Looking forward to that garden. I have a great big area that needs to be revamped.
