30 Minutes with Follow Friday

Today for me 30 minutes for me.....I hung out with some amazing ladies.  We chatted.  Laughed.  Told some tall tales.  And even had a bite of lunch.  It was wonderful to smile so much.  To have these women to pat me on the back once in a while.  It was better that we were everywhere yet all in the same place.  Today my 30 minutes was spent on Twitter.....tweeting away.

What did I say?  Well here are a few things....

CrazedMind Lynette355 as Lenore

@Crissy The birds are singing...sun is bright & cheerful....soft wind in the air. And your face is smiling here on Twitter.

@superkeely @mommyswishlist Lunch finally. Rice sauteed in butter, basil pesto & sour cream topped with grilled chicken. Diet Coke too!

@kyrstind I have to do the same so we can get College Girls FASFA done too. Oh the head ache.

@thetameone Oh that is great to hear...I would hate you not being you or having to talk to a new you that doesn't really know you at all.

@CaptainDumbass As long as it does not smell like you have been eating zombies...my DH was belching them last week. ICK

@EmilySecretLife Wow, another Lenore. We are rare you know!

 And I said a few things too....

I have a crazed dog. Stands @ the edge of tile floor & whines. Fearful of stepping on the tile. But she is coming off another tiled floor.

How do you kill stickers? Darn grass burrs are resistant to everything. Looking at a match & gasoline next!

Almost noon....have not had a thing to eat today...or drink come to think of it. Wonder why?







Wanna have some fun too?  If so join us older ladies over at Follow Friday 40 & Over with Never Growing Old as the hostess!  And meet la bella vita the blogger guest extraordinaire.

Retro Tuesday Blog Hop

I just had to join in on the Retro Tuesday Blog Hop with Tracy from The Crazy Suburban Mom. Thanks for setting up a McLinky for this one.

And for my entry I am putting up Perfection Salad.
Why? Because it sounded absolutely awful! Horrid! OMG Yuck!

That recipe is similar to this one:

Perfection Salad

Ingredients
• 1 envelope Knox Sparkling Gelatin.
• 1/2 cup cold water.
• 1/2 cup mild vinegar.
• 1 pint boiling water
• 1 teaspoonful salt
• 1 cup finely shredded cabbage.
• Juice of one lemon.
• 1/2 cup sugar.
• 2 cups celery cut in small pieces.
• 1/4 can sweet red peppers, finely cut.


Directions
Soak the gelatin in cold water five minutes; add vinegar, lemon juice, boiling water, sugar and salt. Strain, and when beginning to set add remaining ingredients. Turn into a mold and chill. Serve on lettuce or endive leaves with mayonnaise dressing, or cut in dice and serve in cases made of red or green peppers, or the mixture may be shaped in molds lined with pimentos. A delicious accompaniment to cold sliced chicken or veal.

Isn't it just gross looking? LOL I do not know what was the fascination with Jell-O and making anything that is not a dessert? But they did. So what 1950'ish food do you remember or have seen that made you go OMG NO! ? ? ?

Funky Kidz Give Away

This is fun! Really! I received this CD for Miss Emma to enjoy but it is going to become part of my daily workout too. The tunes are upbeat and I know all of the songs too!

Funky Kidz is a compilation of classic children’s songs, familiar to both kids today and parents of yesteryear. And each song was done by a different New Orleans artist. Which makes this a children's jazz extravaganza.

Tell me which songs you do not know?

Track Listing:

1. You’ve Got A Friend In Me - Bonerama (2:57)
2. Hokey Pokey – Big Sam’s Funky Nation (3:31)
3. Zip A Dee Doo Dah –Ivan Neville’s Dumpstaphunk (3:10)
4. Yellow Submarine – Papa Grows Funk (2:56)
5. If I Only Had A Brain – Paul Sanchez (2:57)
6. He’s Got the Whole World In His Hands – George Porter Jr. (3:23)
7. Somewhere Over the Rainbow – Theresa Andersson (2:31)
8. Froggy Went A Courtin – The Radiators (5:11)
9. This Land is Your Land – Walter “Wolfman” Washington and the Roadmasters (4:17)
10. When I See An Elephant Fly – Johnny Sketch and the Dirty Notes (2:13)
11. This Little Light of Mine – Ingrid Lucia ( 3:01)
12. Garden Song – Amanda Shaw and the Cute Guys (3:53)

I can now even top all of this off. Because you too can have your very own copy of Funky Kidz. All you have to do is pop over to Funky Kidz and listen then come back and tell me which is your favorite song. (This is mandatory to enter.) You can also have extra entries too. Additional entries can all be done with a separate comment for each for following, having my button, twittering, links on face book, sending others to the giveaway (they have to credit you) and blogging about this great giveaway.
