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.

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

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.

I love magazines!  I keep them organized and save almost ever copy.  I have found a few places online that you can get free subscriptions to some very popular mags.  The websites are…

“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?
