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!

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?

My question this week is…

“I would tell members of my family, and I have, I wouldn’t go anywhere in confined places now. It’s not that it’s going to Mexico, it’s you’re in a confined aircraft when one person sneezes it goes all the way through the aircraft. That’s me. I would not be, at this point, if they had another way of transportation suggesting they ride the subway. ”
“If you’re out in the middle of a field and someone sneezes that’s one thing. If you’re in a closed aircraft or a closed container or closed car or closed classroom it’s a different thing.
Do you think the Vice President had a point? Are you avoiding public transportation, keeping your children home from school, canceling vacation plans, or staying out of the stores?

I love the taste of fresh herbs! They can dress up a mediocre recipe and add pizazz! Not only do they taste wonderful but they are good for you.
Cilantro, referred to as the Chinese Parsley, is my favorite herb. It’s delicious in salsa, salads, dips, and Mexican dishes. The taste of cilantro is a mixture of parsley and citrus. Yummy!
The use of Cilantro has been found to help increase our ability to clear up recurring infections, reduce inflammation, fight bad cholesterol, and help control high sugar levels.

I guess you could call me a big kid! My likes and dislikes have not changed much from a child to an adult. There are days you might find me on the floor playing with Aiden and his Fisher-Price Little People Farm —Mooo!
I even love cartoons and still enjoy watching them with the kiddos.
When I was a young sprout I would jump out of bed every Saturday morning to watch the Smurfs. The little blue creatures who lived in those cute mushroom houses kept me captivated!
Papa Smurf was a young 543 years old and led over 100 mischievous Smurfs in the Smurf Village. He did his best to keep the little sky blue gnomes out of trouble, but they always seemed to fall in harm’s way of Gargamel who was absolutely obsessed to have them for a mid afternoon snack. Gargamel even created my favorite Smurf, Smurfette to destroy the Smurfs. His evil plan failed once Papa Smurf changed her nature and transformed her into the flower loving blond beauty .
My question this week
What was your favorite cartoon character as a kid? Is it still your favorite?

Aloha Friday! What Is Your Favorite Movie?

If your not familiar with Aloha Friday it was created by An Island Life with the concept that Friday is the day to sit back and chill! No lengthy posts or comments needed. Just an easy question with a simple answer to help get to know each other better.
When I was a kid I always looked forward to watching The Wizard Of Oz every time it came on TV. My mom would pop a huge bowl of buttered popcorn and I would be glued to the television until it was over. Not much has changed since The Wizard Of Oz still remains to be my all time favorite movie. The only difference is I am the mom making the popcorn and cuddling up with my two kiddos as we watch the movie together.
My question this week is…
What is your favorite movie?
