FF: Random is as Random Does

I've scraped frost off my windshield three times now this season, and I'm tired of it. However, I have yet to tire of Friday Fragments hosted by Mrs. 4444.
Friday Fragments?

Yesterday morning at school time it was 29 degrees. My middle-schooler had wet hair and wore no coat. While I know that those factors alone won't make him sick, I also know that they won't make him any smarter.

This week is Scouting for Food in our area. If you get a bag, please consider donating canned foods.

My friend thinks she and I need a shot of testosterone. I couldn't agree more.

The neighborhood watch sign? The one with the criminal hidden in a hooded jacket? My youngest child just realized it is NOT a picture of a cat. "Beware of neighborhood cats!!"

I almost bought some furniture I really don't NEED,and spent money we really don't HAVE just so I could get the "free" television being offered with the package. I'm a salesman's dream come true.

A student was shamefully working me this week by complimenting the essay topics I assign. While he waxed poetically, another student reprimanded him for kissing up to me. Being mature, I told the second student to sit down and hush lest we violate the free speech rights of the first student.

We are still weight watching. Checkered has lost enough, I declare. His clothing is baggy and his skin doesn't look healthy to me. Stop it right now, Checkered! His weight lost is double mine.

WHERE'S MY TESTOSTERONE SHOT???

P.S. I ate a Krispy Kreme donut yesterday. It was worth 7,297,011 WW points and worth EVERY.SINGLE.POINT.

I sincerely believe that in order for a diet to work you have a cheat once in a while. And not just because i spend most of my diets cheating. Really.

Its still raining cats and dogs here! That is just as bad as frost!
Enuff already!
I am so proud of you and Checkered for sticking to WW!
You deserved that doughnut girl!
<><

Rebecca Jo said...

I totally think it would be worth saving up all those points too! :)

Love that your youngest figured out the neighborhood watch sign was not a picture of a cat. Though some cats I've known are great neighborhood watchers. ;)

You are a salesman's dream come true...but the TV was worth it, right??? :)

I love that you shushed the student reprimanding the other one for kissing up to you...I'd probably have done the same thing! :)

I'll take one of those testosterone shots if you have an extra - maybe that would be the trick to losing more weight quicker! ;)

That Krispy Kreme donut was totally worth the million points. ;)

Happy FF! :)

We still have mornings in the 40's, which I love. It's just crisp enough to feel like the holidays are coming, yet you don't mind being outside at all!

Happy FF!

The Incredible Woody said...

I'll be going with you for that testosterone shot:)

And a Krispy Kreme donut is always worth the points!!!

Decadent Housewife said...

Way to go Checkered!

You have a bloggy award over at Daily Decadent. You - not Checkered.

Yes, 29 degrees at the start of school.

My son is still riding his bike there. I am thinking he will be receiving snow tires for the bike on Christmas morning!

Come on April!

Smellyann said...

Very amusing fragments... what furniture did you buy??

And now I want a doughnut.

Busy Bee Suz said...

I agree...free speech should be acknowledged, when it is accompanied by compliments.
My Dr. told me I could get a testosterone cream to use. After she told me what the side effects could be, I said: NO thank you.

I won't tell you what our weather is. Ok, I will. we have a high of 80 today. I am ecstatic. I have been waiting for fall since...last fall.

ps. you should move to Florida. If you did, I would totally fill a bag for the scouts.

claudia said...

If you eat that Krispie Kreme donut standing up it will only be
7,297,000 WW points! At that rate you could plan on having another without the ill effects in about ten years!
It is always good to treat yourself to those goodies once in a while. It makes the journey all the more tolerable.
MEN! It reallys gets me that they can do all the same "dieting" women, but lose at a faster rate! AAARRGGHH!! Count me in for that shot too!

My main experience with wet hair and freezing temps had nothing to do with illness and everything to do with getting freaked out. Left the house on a frigid day with my hair wet. As I got to my dad's car (I was in high school), I had reached up to do something to my hair- and a small bit SNAPPED OFF due to being frozen solid.

Happy FF! You are one of my award winners!!

Cat said...

Is that the rooms to go TV? I got all excited at that commercial before I realized I can't afford new furniture and if I wanted a new TV I could, you know, buy one on its own. I'm also that person who will buy makeup for a free gift. The word "free" scrambles my brain!

NOM... Krispy Kreme

That corgi :) said...

don't you hate that men lose weight so much more quicker than us women?

the occasional Krispe Kreme donut won't do you in so enjoy :)

too cute about your son and the neighborhood watch sign :)

enjoy the weekend

betty

Betty said...

Isn´t it so unfair that men loose weight so much easier then we do?!! My husband only has to "think" of eating less, then he looses weight! Me? I gain weight, just by smelling the food!! NOT fair!! :)

mom x 2 said...

I totally agree about the donut! Worth every stinkin' point!

Have a good weekend!

Nancy Campbell said...

I know exactly what ad you're talking about and it almost hooked me in too. It's a wonder I make it through the day.

Cool Breeze insists on wearing shorts until November. At least.

Snow White wears flip-flops to school in the winter. Of course, she also wears a heavy coat, gloves and a scarf. Wouldn't want to get cold:/

Stopping by from Mrs.4444's!

I also ate a KK donut yesterday! YUM... the best part? It was free! My co-worker brought it in for me (he's trying to sabotage my diet, I know it!).

LOL about you almost buying the furniture just for the TV! Oh, i so would've done it too!

29 degress!?! That is craziness!BRRRrrrrrrr!

michelle said...

Does that shot of testosterone come with a wedge of lime and some salt?

Kirby3131 said...

I heard a commercial like that while I was getting ready this morning and heard myself say out loud - "I wonder what I could buy to get that TV?" Then I said in response, because I always answer, "Why a TV of course!"

mub said...

I think it's probably a very good thing that I can't get KK's here! They're so so so good!

noisycolorfullively said...

One of my favorite commercials if for a female weight loss pill (ya know, the stuff magic is made of). It's a cartoon of her and her husband dieting together. He shrinks down to a stick figure, her boobs deflate, then she snarls "What! You wann weigh zero??!!!"

It cracks me up every time. Oh, Krispy Kreme is always worth the points!

Did you get the heated mattress pad? Inquiring Hallie minds want to know!!

A Lawyer Mom's Musings said...

Yes, Krispy Kreme is hard to pass up. I crave the glazed ones, hot off the presses. Points be damned!

mimbles said...

We're heading in to a week with top temps in the high 20s to mid 30s...but that's Celcius ;-)

Mrs4444 said...

I don't remember being a kid who didn't wear a coat outside or went out with a wet head, but I probably did; we all did. (I think)

Don't you hate how easy it is for guys to lose weight? Mr.4444 just has to not have his usual Jack-on-the-rocks for a couple of days and drops two pant sizes, I swear! Congrats on your weightloss!! (all of it :)

That fragment about your students was really funny...

LadyFi said...

Everything in moderation and that includes chocolate when on a diet.

Unknown Mami said...

I'm glad you enjoyed the Krispy Kreme.

Oh and I do similar things with shopping. Sometimes I'll buy way more than I need to to get free shipping which makes no sense when the shopping is only $5, but I'm spending $40 more than I need to get it.

DysFUNctional Mom said...

I had a perfectly decent comment in my head, then you went and said Krispy Kreme and my brain went to mush.
Mmmmm...donuts.
