Its been some time since I participated in Wordless Wednesday so I thought I would sick back, relax, and join in this week’s excitement.

Take a peek at how playing with your food can be highly entertaining and end up as a work of art.  The photos below are a few of my favorites that were displayed at  fabulously 40 .

I wish the article named the artists who  created the eye boggling fun!  The artists deserve recognition for their delectable masterpieces.

You can view more of the food art at fabulously40.com

Wordless Wednesday -Karissa

Filed under wordless wednesday

As many of you already know Karissa is no longer with us.  She was a very talented woman and will be missed immensely.  I enjoyed her knowledge, dedication, and passion about living a “green and clean life.”  I am completely at a loss for words and can’t believe this has happened…

Fallen Leaves

Leaves that blow from autumn trees

Prepare the way for winter freeze

To chart the paths of moving time

A cycle plays out nature’s rhyme

Though sometimes leaves do fall in spring

The sound’s an unfamiliar ring

New from buds the leaves they form

They grow amidst the sun so warm

So why do some release their bounds?

And tumble gently towards the ground

To disconnect from what they know

And sacrifice the chance to grow

Only god can know these things

And why he calls for leaves in spring

Perhaps leaves choose to ride the wind

To find some place to start again

Aloha Friday – Back to School

Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday.

In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.

If you’d like to participate, just post your own question on your blog and leave your link below. Don’t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends!

back-to-school

My question is:

Have you started your back to school shopping?

I have not bought a single item yet for my daughter.  The school district here is not planning on sending out the supply list until ONE week before school starts.  I am so upset, because I have no idea what she is going to need for the upcoming year and I am missing all the great sales!  Money is tight around here and I feel they (teachers) are being very inconsiderate by waiting until the last week to notify parents of the requirements.

Furthermore,  my daughter doesn’t even know who her teacher is for school and is fretting.  I feel awful for her.  She is going to be attending middle school so its rather a BIG move for her and she now has added worries.  I feel so bad :(

Aloha Friday – Stars that tweet.

There are several well known stars tweeting their random thoughts on Twitter.  I follow a few and some of them actually follow back!  I have to be careful to make sure the tweets are not coming from impostors and I often wonder who is really behind the keyboard.  A few days ago my daughter requested for me to check if Robert Pattinson, from Twilight, was a tweeter.  Sure enough he was and had over 170,000 followers.  Today I went to check his updates and received the message “Sorry, the account you were headed to has been suspended due to strange activity. Mosey along now, nothing to see here.” UT Ohh!

Here are a few Stars I enjoy following and seem to be legit.

Ryan Seacrest http://twitter.com/RyanSeacrest

Ashton Kutcher http://twitter.com/aplusk

William Shatner http://twitter.com/WilliamShatner

Ellen DeGeneres http://twitter.com/TheEllenShow

John Mayer  http://twitter.com/johncmayer

Demi Moore http://twitter.com/mrskutcher

Dave Matthews http://twitter.com/DaveJMatthews

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger http://twitter.com/Schwarzenegger

President Barack Obama http://twitter.com/BarackObama

Kathy Ireland http://twitter.com/kathyireland

Oprah http://twitter.com/Oprah

John Fogerty http://twitter.com/John_Fogerty

Anderson Cooper http://twitter.com/andersoncooper

There are tons more celebrities on Twitter but those are the few I follow.  My question this week is…

Do you follow any Stars on Twitter?

A Thousand Words Thursday – 17 Years of Cuteness and Mess!

Cheaper Than Therapy

hubby17

This picture of Hubby was taken 18 years ago.  I replaced the background with something more suitable since the mess he was cleaning was about the size of a football field!  He was confined to his dorm room (military) by his ranking superior until he could once again make his space tidy and livable.  17 years ago he retired his toilet brush and vacuum and shortly after hired married a maid me. Due to his severe cuteness the maid I have been cleaning his mess for the last past 17 years!
