New Blogs, New Memes Anyone?

I’ve spent way too much time lurking around the blogosphere this weekend! In addition to visiting the blogs in my sidebar, I’ve stumbled upon a few new blogs (new for me, that is). One of them is Where’s Mommy’s Prozac? Boy, I can relate to that title! She’s a mom who likes to read, scrapbook, watch movies, and spend time with her family. Sounds a lot like me! Pass the Prozac! (Actually, I prefer Zoloft, but that’s another post.)

Another blog I enjoy from time to time, so I guess it’s not completely new, but I want to share with everyone anyway, is Herb Urban. He’s always great for some sarcastic humor and a tart slice of not-so-daily life. This guy is a wealth of knowledge, albeit not necessarily things we need to know, which is part of what makes this blog so fun! Anyway, check it out and see if you don’t enjoy your visit!

Last on my list today is the Irish-Catholic Potty Mouth Speaks Kindly. I was drawn to this blog because my step-daughter’s names are Heather and Kathleen, but that’s not why I stayed. She’s another mom who’s witty, interesting, and I totally relate to her.

I hope they don’t mind my sharing their blogs with all of you. I hope you’ll click on over to them.

I visit 5 Minutes for Mom and Home Sanctuary daily. If you haven’t checked them out, why not? (except maybe you’re a dude, not a mom. That’s using my teenage language.)

I really enjoy memes. The memes I am participating in on a somewhat regular basis and some which I just stumbled upon include:
Menu Plan Monday sponsored by Organizing Junkie
Tackle it Tuesday sponsored by 5 Minutes for Mom
Wordless Wednesday
Thursday Thirteen
Thankful Thursday
Friday’s Feast
Scrolling Saturday
Sunday Scribblings
Sunday Scrappin’
Writer’s Island

If you have a new meme for me, please suggest it! It’s not as if I couldn’t add another one! Have a great day!

Menu Plan Monday

It's going to be a great week in our household!

Today, Sunday, we had a delicious new recipe - Chicken Parmesan - that my husband found on food network. We created it all together, from scratch... It was expensive, but it was also delicious.

Monday - My mom's recipe - Texas Brick Chili. We'll eat it with some soft, white bread or crackers, a little cheese on top, and some avacado slices.

Tuesday - Braised Balsamic Chicken - a recipe I have used before from AllRecipes. I'll also make Rosemary Potatoes and have some green beans.

Wednesday - Cheesy Pigs-in-a-Blanket. I don't need a recipe for this one. It's easy. But I'm linking to one at AllRecipes anyway.

Thursday - Guys night out. What will the girls do? Maybe Subway.

Friday - Pizza Night!

Saturday - Date night with my husband at some fabulous (I hope) restaurant!

Thank you to organizing junkie for hosting Menu Plan Monday!

Sunday Scrappin' First Post

I love to scrapbook, but I don't have as much time for it as I wish I did. I found a site called Sunday Scrappin' whose description is - This meme is for ALL paper crafts, not just scrapbooking... but "Sunday Papercrafts" or "Sunday Whatever-You're-Making" just didn't have the same ring to it! :) I'm hoping it will inspire me to drag my supplies out and get busy making memories more often, because I truly enjoy it! I'm posting a couple of my ta-da's because they link to a previous post I wrote about holiday memories.

My to-do this week is to finish a collage for the bulletin board at work. My sixth grade classes are reading The Watsons go to Birmingham by Christopher Paul Curtis. I had the students research the culture of the US in 1963. So, we have lots of pictures of politicians, space-related photos, actors, musicians, hairstyles, civil rights events, and so on. I'm making a collage of the pictures for the classroom.

I'm enjoying visiting other paper-crafters' pages and getting fresh ideas and inspiration. Visit other Sunday Scrappin' pages by clicking here. In fact, join in, if you'd like!

My First Blog Post Ever!

In honor of my first scrolling Saturday, I am re-posting my original post from December 13, 2005. I've come a long way since then! Except, I still forget whether or not I washed my hair after I get out of the shower, unless I do things in the same order every day. Call me forgetfulone!

Well, here I am in the world of bloggers, although I have no idea what I'm doing or why I'm doing it. Of course I have heard of blogs, but do people really read them? Or do they just read them if they're on a site they like or if their friend writes one? I'm really curious about that. Who actually reads these? How do you find them?The title of this blog refers to my forgetfulness. Often, I'll walk into a room and forget why I went in there. I can usually back track a little and figure it out, but it's really annoying! But, I can never do this without saying out loud, "What did I come in here for?" or something along those lines. My 9 year old twins respond with, "I don't know. I'm not your brain." You'd think I'd learn not to say it out loud, but it is virtually impossible. So... I guess that's all I have to say right now.

Win one of these!
