What we got in the mail today!

 

This was through Vocalpoint - they ask that people review products and then you get points for it.

I actually have tried these already (it might have been another product name, but same concept).  LOVED IT - Works better than the one sided cleaner.

Staying with Stephanie's theme again!  Thanks for the good picks on the themes Steph!  This is definitely what I wanted my blog for - to remember those things that I've almost forgotten!

Not sure how different our classes were to other schools, but thinking back, we had a lot of different art classes.  In middle school, it was required to take wood shop and metal shop.  I don't remember what I made in wood shop, but I do know that in metal shop I made a "toolbox" (more like a metal box/basket) that I gave to Aunt Helen.  She had it until she moved to the nursing home and then it became my toolbox - until hubby decided he didn't like digging for tools out of it and bought me a real toolbox (for Christmas or my birthday no less).  Given the choice in middle school, I wouldn't have taken either wood or metal shop.

In high school, I had the majority of my credits done by junior year, so I was able to take some "fun" courses.  I took photography, an art class, and ceramics.  I'm not sure how many schools have ceramics for a course today (or even back then).  I still have projects from all three of these classes. 

I don't even remember the name of the teacher who taught ceramics, but remember her face.  She was a young teacher and the boys always tried to get away with things (acting up).  I remember there was a day I didn't feel well and she brought me home.  I must have been a sophmore at the time since I didn't have my license or a car.

The item that first came to my mind from my ceramics class was a little cat figurine I created that I still have.  It was based on my cat at the time - Blackie.

Here's a picture of Blackie.  We were having a yard sale and he jumped in the grab bag box that I made which made a great picture.  He was worth more than 10 cents to me. : )

Review of Last Night's TV

So many new shows this season!  But let's not forget the return ones!

GLEE

• I was shocked to see Quinn - the first thing I thought of - 80's Madonna look! 
• I thought Mercedes was too touchy with her new man.
• The new kids were good - I know some of them are from The Glee Project, but I don't know who.
• I have no idea where the song Rachel & Kurt is from - is it from The Wiz? 
• When did Will & Emma move in together?  They are already taking kids?  Did I miss something?

NEW GIRL
I wasn't going to watch this, but ended up with it on and guess what - I like it!  Zooey Deschanel was really good on it!  Sometimes people do well in movies, but not good on TV - she's done the cross over with success!

I might as well continue back to Monday -

TWO AND HALF MEN
It's just not the same.  I think it will continue at least for the season maybe 2.  Maybe it's just time to end it.  It's had a good run.

Meet Me On Monday

NeverGrowingold hasn't posted a new Meet Me On Monday in awhile.  Therefore, I'm pulling old ones from the beginning of the year that I haven't answered yet.

 
Questions:

1.  What is your favorite kind of fudge?
     Not really into fudge, but if any, it would have to be peanut butter.
2.  Is there snow outside your window?
     Since it's September, no
3.  What is your favorite meal of the day?
     Dinner - at least when hubby is home and is cooking or we go out to dinner.
4.  Do you text on your cell phone?
     OF COURSE!  I text more than I talk on it.
5.  Waffles or pancakes?
     I'll go for either one!

I'm going to stick with Stephanie's theme this week (and get back into this since we've been on vacationthe last 2 Sundays!).

Even though we don't have kids, I have one book that was one of my favorites when I was little -  The B Book .  I really don't remember how old I was, but I can remember memorizing the book.  To this day, I can still recite the majority of it.

The book has sat in my hope chest for awhile.  Hubby, on the other hand, had to purchase his favorite book - Sam and the Firefly
