Five for Friday: Random Thoughts

August 26, 2011 by Michelle 18 Comments

Happy Friday!!!

Today you get random thoughts from Michelle…You’re welcome.

1. How do you pronounce aspartame?

jillina-yelling-wk1

{I *think* it’s the latter}

2. These are some of my favorite {newish to me} bloggers right now….

  • Foodie Fresh
  • And Her Little Dog Too (I dreamt about this Mac n Cheese)
  • Swim Bike Mom
  • Running Peanut
  • A Blog?! Srsly?!
  • I’m An Okie
  • FANNEtastic Food
  • AΒ Healthier, Happier Bear
Some of these are well established, some of these are on the new side — they all keep me reading πŸ™‚

3. Since when did throwing a shower for a 2nd baby become so common?

4. Do people really text their names to things like “Love Match”? If so – WHY?

5. How does Klout determine your score??? Why does mine keep going up and down? Why does Klout say I am influential about glasses??

      I didn’t see that you called until 5am this morning. I still don’t know what’s going on with Sunday – I’ll try to call you later!

    You left my name out of that blogger list. Rude! πŸ™‚ (Hope Fabian doesn’t see this comment.) hee

    I am so with you on the 2nd baby shower. Especially if it’s the same sex as the first baby. What’s up with that?

      Oh and I understand a 2nd shower if there’s a large age gap – but other than that – don’t expect one. It’s one thing to celebrate the subsequent babies (and I think you should!) — but a full blown shower??? I did have a “sprinkle” for Livie – but I didn’t expect it (it was a suprise), I insisted on no gifts (people still brought them), and it was SUPER low key.

    I have wondered about texting to those things like Love Match too! I’m thinking that the only ones who do are crazy teenagers πŸ™‚

    Aww, thanks so much for the blog love!

    My random thought is that it’s 9:00 a.m. and I’m craving a burger. Huh?

    I think that maybe a baby shower if it’s a different sex is OK – but in general I’m kind of anti.

    I’m sending you an email about my random gripe/thought for the day. πŸ˜‰

      I think it’s OK if it’s “sprinkle” (like a mini-celebration) — not like a “I need entirely new gear because everything I ordered before was pink and now I’m having boy.” Should of thought of that with baby #1. Ha ha. (maybe I’m just mean?)

      I’ll think about what you emailed and get back to you. I share similar frustrations sometimes and have some of the same questions/thoughts.

    Klout puzzles me. For some reason it thinks I am only influential about coupons. Also, it seems like when I get a lot more buzz going on my Twitter acct, my score drops…and then of course, if I take a couple of days off from my social sites (like during my trip last weekend), it plummets like crazy. Mine seems to do nothing but go down no matter what I do! Oh well…
