Friday Fragments

 To participate in friday fragments click here


I'm new to friday fragments, but it has been a fragmented week, so it seemed like the perfect place for me today. I've had Blogger issues (yes, again) all week and I've been trying to do some catch-up after being sick last week.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was a little jealous early in the week because most of my family was planning to play hooky from work and school to go to a Rockies game on Wednesday afternoon. A friend of my son-in-law plays for the Phillies and they all wanted to get to a game to see him play. My jealousy abated quite a bit Wednesday morning when we woke up to snow with highs predicted in the 40s. My warm office didn't sound so bad after all. The snow cleared for long enough in the afternoon for the game to go on, the temperature stayed cold and they all went and had a great time.





~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I heard this week about a bathroom scale that is WiFi enabled so that when you weigh yourself you can download the results to Twitter or Facebook or your blog or some other web site. No, I didn't make this up and no, I won't be shopping for one.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Speaking of weather, which I was sort of obliquely above, I won't complain about snow, even in May, when I see what happened from the tornadoes that hit in my home state of Oklahoma last week. My heart goes out to everyone dealing with the death and destruction from these horrible storms.

Thank you to Soup Baby for sharing this Sweet Blog award with me. I appreciate the recognition and I especially appreciate anything with the word sweet attached to it.

 I hope Blogger and I can both get ourselves pulled together over the weekend.

  1. Glad you are feeling better. We got a Wii Fit for Christmas. When you first set it up it weighs you. The little devil said "Whoa" when I stepped on it and I took it personally. Forget about me looking for one of those WIFI scales! No one is going to know my weight other than the Wii and my doctor!

  2. Seriously, why would I EVER put my weight on Facebook or Twitter? My husband doesn't even know what I weigh! That's just...well, ridiculous!

  3. I'm with you; I won't be getting that scale either. I can't imagine letting the whole world know what I weigh. Too cute about the baseball game; I visited that field on vacation a few years back and enjoyed touring it, including what they did in case of snow. I always enjoy reading Friday fragments :)

  5. I heard about those scales that share you weight with the world. They are suppose to make you accountable.....I'm not buyin' one!

    You made the right choice after bein' ill, ya didn't need go 'chill' out at the game. I loved seein' the pictures though.

    Enjoy your day sweetie!!!

  8. That scale is dangerous. What happens if somebody somehow [I'm not a techie]downloaded from your scale your info? OMG. The weather here in Phila has been awful, but today the sun shined and it was warm. Have a great weekend.

  11. I have to join the rest and say there is NO WAY I will post my weight anywhere... unless the new scale lies of course!

  12. Who on earth would download, upload or record their weight anywhere someone else or countless someone elses could see it? That bugged my eyes wide!

    And snow in May.....that would be nice because you'd know it would be short-lived.
