Tag!
Jenn from My Kids are my World tagged me for a meme, and it's going to be fun to play along. I just answer the four questions she gave me. Then I get to tag four people and ask them four questions of my own. Fun! Thanks for thinking of me, Jenn!
1. If you could be anyone besides yourself for an entire day, who would it be and why?
This one is hard! I have to choose someone skinny, because I've always wondered what that was like. But do I want to be famous, even for one day? Hmmm. Oh, I know! Faith Hill. Thin, beautiful, talented, and the best part? Married to Tim McGraw! Yup! She's the one I'd want to trade with for a day.
2. What is your favorite day of the week, and why?
Easy one. Saturday! I can sleep late and I don't have to go to work, and I can stay up late being my normal night-owl self.
3. If you could change your name, what would it be, and why?
Another hard one! Let me think... (A while later) Kimberly. That's what my mom wanted to name me, but my dad always thought of Kimberly Clark (toilet paper company), so he wouldn't let her name me that. Then again, it might be more fun to have a name like Trixie!
4. What is your favorite song?
I have so many of these! I love the song "Mayberry" by Rascall Flats. It reminds me of my dad. And I love the silly lyrics of "Blinded by the Light" by Manfred Mann. Oh, and "Walking in Memphis" by Marc Chon and "God Bless Texas" by Lonestar. Let's not forget "The Boys are Back in Town" by Thin Lizzy. "Linger" by the Cranberries.
But the song that NEVER fails to make me feel good is "Love Train" by the O'Jays.
I am tagging Queen Sized Funny Bone, Myya Says, Calico Contemplations, and LuLu's Petals. I hope you'll all play along!
The four questions I want to ask are...
1. What is your favorite holiday tradition?
2. You're in a time machine? Where are you going?

One of Those Days
Have you ever had one of those days? Of course you have! The kind of day that makes you believe in Murphy's Law. Well, maybe it hasn't been quite THAT bad, but really? What a lousy day today was!
I had planned all week to go to the movies today with two friends. When I woke up, I had texts from both of them saying they couldn't go. So, I started doing chores and didn't even look at my phone for a few hours. It was on silent, so I didn't hear when a new text came in. When I finally looked at it, there was a text from one of them saying she could go after all, but by the time I looked at my phone, the movie was actually starting. Such stupid luck! So one of my friends got to see it, but I didn't, and I'm the one who planned it in the first place.
And the hubz drank a little (read: a lot) too much at the martini party last night (which was so much fun). But he knocked over some water because he had drunk too much. And it ruined my son's Sony camera, the one he bought with his own money. Hubz will replace it, but stilll... Just one of those "thangs."
Hubz didn't listen when I told him of my plans for today, and he didn't tell me his plans, so I had to do the grocery shopping alone, which I hate, and we ended up not being able to have dinner together.
And I had to be the homework police since both my kids had homework (yes over Halloween weekend).
And I tried to order KFC for dinner, but they only had original recipe, which I don't like, so I had to make a sandwich for dinner. So glad tomorrow's a new day, a new month!

Barbara's Bakery
Okay, so the picture is a little crooked! My daughter took it, but you can see these goodies!"Good for you" CAN taste good! I love these Barbara's Bakery Products I've been trying. They've been in business 40 years now, but this is the first time I've heard of them. Barbara's says NO to:
Hydrogenated Oil
Artificial Flavors
Artificial Preservatives
Refined Sugar
Trans Fat
Artificial Additives
High Fructose Corn Syrup
Now, let me tell you this... I DO NOT LIKE Baked Lays of any kind. So, I was wary, but I have to say that I LOVE these White Cheddar Cheese Baked Puffs! they were gone so fast! My husband liked them, too. My daughter didn't like those, but she enjoyed the Snackimals. The High Fiber Cereal with Cranberry was also yummy! And my oldest step-daughter likes the fact that the Multi-Grain Cereal is gluten-free.
Where can you get these tasty cereals and snacks? Visit Barbara's Bakery on the web or find them on Facebook. You can print a $1 coupon at their website or enter their makeover contest. Barbara's Bakery products are also available at most Randall's and Safeway stores.
This post was written as part of a campaign for Family Review Network and Barbara's Bakery who provided the product for review.
