Join the Friday Fragments Fun over at Half Past Kissin' Time!It's going to be a happy day here at Bee and Rose....wanna know why??? RAIN...I love a chilly rainy day! We don't have many rainy days in the desert so when we get them it's cause for celebration! Yesterday, the kids and I just splashed around puddles and got drenched for fun. (we're easily amused here...) It's only going to be 77 degrees here today which is actually long sleeve weather! Heck, it might as well be winter! Hooray! Rainy days are good reading days and great for playing board games too....
The Fablehaven series for kids makes for great summer reading! We love this story set on a preserve to protect magical creatures. So far there are 4 books in the series. I highly recommend them!

I know Cat will hold me hostage until I play at least 30 games of "Sleeping Queens" with her. She LOVES this game. It was invented by a 6 yr old girl! We also like the Tea Party game.
****I can't stop singing Green Day's new song "Know Your Enemy." I'm even driving myself crazy not to mention I've totally ruined the joy of Tween Caveboy listening to his new Green Day cd. Further proof that I am the most annoying mother on the planet...I can't stop imitating the statue (from the new "Night at the Museum" movie trailer) that says "Fire Power." He says it like this...Fi-yah Pow-wah....Sometimes, if I really want to tweek Tween Caveboy, I'll pull the "freeze" move that the Abe Lincoln statue (from the same movie) does too.

I am getting very excited as the "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" movie gets closer to opening day! I realize that I will probably have to take advantage of my makeover to pimp myself out for the money for movie tickets. It's ridiculous what it costs a family of four to go to the movies. We seldom go anymore because we can't afford to sell our organs. Chilly might need a transplant (or two, maybe three) and I just can't look him in the eye and say.."Dude, I would love to give you a kidney, but remember, we took the kids to see "Transformers 2"? Remember, I sold my kidney in exchange for tickets and concessions?" At our theaters, they search your handbags, etc. for stowaway popcorn, candy, etc. Greedy jerks!
What summer movies are you going to check out?

FRIDAY FENG SHUI TIP: Write down your wishes on paper and place them in a red envelope. Red envelopes are considered good fortune! I've done this several times and it works! (I cannot explain how it works, it just did for me.)

Hot flashes suck. Why do I mention this? Because it's not even 6:00 am and I'm having one. Stupid hormones....

Friday Confessional: I am a masticator....I have to chew stuff when I am stressed...usually this will manifest in the very loud chewing and snapping of my gum. If I want Chilly to leave me alone, I just pop in a wad of gum and start snapping. I can snap my gum so loud that if Tween Caveboy is around, he will fall to the ground like he's been shot. I am currently chewing on a strawberry Twizzler. I would like to be chewing on a Cinnabon but no such luck. Fingernails are not excluded from my stress induced mastication. I have not chewed on furniture, writing implements, or pet toys however.

Hope your Friday is fantastic and filled with fabulosity!

It'd teach them a lesson for sure.
thanks for sharing the idea of the red envelope I will try this
I've been reading the books since I was 11, so I feel honor bound to finish all of the movies--not to mention they are just fantastic, even when you haven't read the books!
My husband keeps asking if Snape is evil and I just sing "I can't telll yooouuu." I'm lucky he stays hehehe.
(I can't believe they search your bags!!! If they did that here, we'd have to stop going to the theater as well!)
Great Fragments!
Jamie :)
Sorry about the hot flashes...just one more reason to celebrate being a woman!!
I've been working on a Feng Shui post for a while. I'll have to try the red envelope trick.
Oooh, I may have to get those games for my nieces.
Glad I'm not the only one still looking forward to the next Harry Potter movie! Wow - they search your bags? That's brutal. Stash a snickers under your tampons in the little zipper pocket of your purse! Surely they won't dig that far! ;)
However, there are many different styles and it can be rather confusing so I wrote a book titled The Feng Shui Way. I draw this to your attention because it is unique in that it explains the basic premise behind each method and demystifies Feng Shui.

If you have any questions I am most willing to offer my views on this topic.

I know the exact trailer you are talking about...and it makes me laugh too..Fi-yah Pow-wah! LOL!
enjoy your rain...just don't send it our way when you are done with it!
guess I shoulda been more specific with my timing?
TGIF.
77 is cold for you, huh? Remind me of how kids here break out the shorts when the temps reach 50!
And, Harry Potter! OMGOsh! I can.not.wait!!!! Read the books over, and over, and over and can't wait to see it!
Off to find a red envelope!
♥ HUGS ♥
I haven't seen the new Night at the Museum. Is it worth seeing. I really enjoyed the first one.
And..last but not least..I am totally going to try the red envelope trick. I even know what wish I want to put in it. I just need a red envelope. Do you think it would work if I colored a regular envelope red with crayons? What!? Just wondering. :)
Hopefully you won't have to sell your organs to go...good luck on the 'hooking'! Hahahaha!!!
I am looking forward to the new Museum movie as well. I just rent Paul Blart Mall Cop...sweet movie:)
I can't believe the movie people are searching bags for snacks!! They are jerks!
I'm not sure if they're still doing it... but Amazon.com just had a promotion to get a free ticket to "Night...2" when you bought a specific DVD (I think there were about 15 to choose from)
Other summer movies I want to see are Harry Potter 6 and "Public Enemies"
