Friday Fragments


Mommy's Idea

It’s Friday, and once again I’m following along at Half-Past Kissin’ Time’s Friday Fragments, where as Mrs. 4444 says “disconnected thoughts are applauded”.  Since my life is chock full of disconnected thoughts, this meme is right up my alley!

My legs are reminding me of my age this morning.  They’re definitely not used to playing kickball.  Winking smile  I was at DD’s yesterday, where they participated in an impromptu neighborhood kickball game.  Of course, Nana joined in the fun (even though she went 0 for 3). 



For once, our smoke detectors have decided to warn us that the batteries need to be replaced when we’re up - instead of in the middle of the night.  It’s still annoying when we get that annoying beep and the message “Warning – Low Battery”.  But if we’re going to get it, far better to start getting it at 6:30 AM instead of 2:30 AM. 



I must have the slowest-growing toenails.  I had a pedicure done on March 22, and unless you look really, really close, you cannot tell that it’s been 5 weeks.  The polish is still looking good, so I think I’ll leave it on for our upcoming trip.  Gotta have painted toenails when on the beach, right?



Our few days of lovely weather have passed.  The next several days will be cooler and rainy … sounds like perfect quilting weather, doesn’t it?  Winking smile

  1. Hope you enjoy the beach! I painted my toes on April 2nd and they look really ratty now... I have to do something about it, but haven't had the time...

  2. We recently replaced batteries so were surprised to hear chirping in the wee hours of the morning one day. It took forever to figure out it was the basement detector. I don't think I even knew one was down there! Have a great weekend-I used to love to play kickball!

  4. I really do not like that chirping bird noise from the smoke alarm messages.

    A little kick ball definitely reminds us of our age! LOL

    Have fun at the beach.

  5. Beach or no beach...painted toenails is a must for me too. I wear a lot of open shoes / sandals year 'round here, so the color is something that's part of the style I wear.

    Those nasty smoke alarms are annoying to be sure...but a god send if ever needed.

  6. Those smoke detectors can drive a person right over the edge when they make that chirping noise. Makes you want to rip it right out of the ceiling! :) Happy quilting, Kathy!

  8. I paint my toes all summer and all my "renewable resources" grow fast. I wear all kinds of flip flops and sandals in the summer or just go barefoot so I feel better with the polish on. For the last few years, I also wear a toe ring or two. I believe in feet bling.

  9. I only get pedi's in the summer and haven't started them yet this season. But you are right - - - I believe toe nails are slow growers, at least that has been my experience too.

  10. I go about every 5 weeks because mine last pretty long also.
    Thanks a good thing! We are always reminded of our low batteries when our power goes out. Then I forget which ones needed that batteries replaced when the power comes back on.

  12. My toe nails grow slow too, but I'm real hard on polish! In face they look bad right now and I really need a pedicure! I hope I get one before Sunday!

    Good for you playing kickball! Haven't done that for years!

  13. Well, yes, I agree, why get a pedicure when your toes still look good. My pedicures always last a long time. Yes, the beach means one must have pretty toes!

    Sounds like quilting weather for sure. I've been so busy since getting home that I haven't even gotten our trip photos edited. I'm thinking I may play around with them tomorrow.

    Blessings to you!

  14. You go girl for getting out there with kick ball!! How fun!!
    Smoke detectors low battery warnings are about the same as getting a phone call in the middle of the night, unsettling and unnerving!

    have a great weekend!

  15. Best part of being a grandparent is getting to be a kid again - even if it comes with a price.

  16. Hmmm, color of the toenail polish will determine if it is beach worthy. ;-)

I am SO glad you stopped by! No proving that you're a robot here ... I want to hear what you have to say! ;-)
