Friday - Following and Fragmenting

Fridays are a great time to pull together all those little snippets that aren't big enough to be a whole post and share them in one spot.  They are the fragments of the week, and this is Friday Fragments.  Fridays are also a great time to participate in the new Friday Follow.  It has been revamped and updated.   

~Jelly Belly.  The best jelly beans ever!  I get the assorted pack where all the flavors are mixed together in their yummy-ness.  This works great until I come across the pear flavored one!  YUCK!  I don't understand how two things that are so wonderful, pears and jelly beans, can be so awful when you mix them together.  I mentioned this on twitter after eating one of these offending "beans" and had a friend inform me that she is committed to only eating the pear ones.  I think from now on I should just pull out all the pears and send them to her, because I am on the lookout for them now!  There is nothing worse than following a wonderful toasted marshmallow with pear.  A mistake I don't intend to repeat.

~Every so often I come across a sign that I've never seen before.  When I was in Atlanta last week I saw this one....

That makes me want to pick a different road!

~Meme.  How do you say it?  Is it "Meem" with the long e's? Or is it "MeMe" (like a toddler, "Me Me!")? Or is it "MehMe"?  I can't figure out how to say it.  Am I the only one who wonders this every time I see this word?

~Talking about Memes or carnivals, my wonderful blogging friend Angel won What I Meant To Say Wednesday in a raffle to support a baby with cancer.  Have you ever had something to say but held your tongue because little ears were around?  Have you ever had one of those moments where you were searching for the perfect comeback, but just couldn't think of one until hours or days later?  This is your chance to get that out.  Tell us all what happened and what it was you meant to say!  Link up with her and Brittany on Wednesday and share.  I can't wait to read all your scathing thoughts!

~Yesterday I needed to buy a few cards.  Card buying is so hard.  They are always too sappy, or too stupid, or too something.  In the midst of my frustration, I noticed something..........

 See that?  The Cards are on the alcohol aisle.  Coincidence?  I'm not so sure!

~Up there ^ is a banner for Fluttering Designs. My friend Vanessa's Etsy shop.  Go check it out!  I don't get any money for sales that she makes or for clicks on that banner, but part of the proceeds do go to the Angela Shelton Foundation, which is close to my heart.....and the jewelry is awesome too!

~While typing this, I am watching Jerry Seinfield on "Watch What Happens Live" talking about the Real Housewives, and I am kind of loving it!  He is clearly not a Housewives fan....or an Andy Cohen fan.....or a Bravo fan.  I'm not sure why he is even on this show. 

~This leads me to a commercial that is now on (aren't you loving this walk through my television night?) Bethany is getting her own show called "Bethany Getting Married?"  < ------ What is that?  The question mark.  Are we supposed to be pretending that she hasn't already gotten married until we see it on the show?  I know she is married because I saw it on CNN months ago!  It is done.  She is married.  Loose the question mark Bravo.  It's just dumb. 

~I've got a guest post going on at Curiosity today....all about children and leashes.

~Pull together your fragments, go follow some new blogs, and have a great start to your weekend! Peace!
