6 Friday Fragments (food, sports, surgery, movie, cats)

Friday Fragments is hosted by Half Past Kissin' Time for bloggers to post a list of short things on their minds that aren't really enough for a whole post to give Mrs. 4444 a break for the summer. Here we go:

Easter

Easter in autumn? I guess it is in Australia. I discovered this when reading The Husband's Secret. I don't understand why this is though. It puzzles me.

Best Buy

Last week I bought some chocolate Enteman's doughnuts at Giant Eagle (8 for $4 something) for my Sunday School class. The price wasn't shown anywhere so I didn't know how much they would be. As it turned out, they were almost as much as if I bought the freshly made ones from their bakery--just a couple dollars difference. Then the next day, I saw the same doughnuts at Walmart for about $1 less per box. Then next to those were some Krispy Kreme filled ones. They were six in a box. Think next time I buy doughnuts, it will be from Walmart!

Browns

I am sad to see Trent Richardson (RB) go to the Colts and sad that Weeden is not going to be able to play this week. We are going with our third string QB so am hoping he will surprise me and be good.

Recovering Nicely

We got good news when Gerard went to the doctor this week for a follow up visit after his surgery. I was afraid he may be overdoing it, but it is healing very well. In fact, the doctor was surprised at how fast he is healing! He can start back to work on Monday but limited to LIGHT duty, no heavy lifting yet. He enjoyed his extra time with Abby while he was off. They got in lots of walks!  He's anxious to get back to vacuuming (we have a 7 lb vacuum), washing the car and working in the yard.  Just can't keep a good man down--I decided not to fight with him because it's no use.  He does what he wants anyway.

Movie

I finally watched "Gone With the Wind" for the first time. I didn't realize how long it was and how sad it was. Scarlet was a real piece of work! I enjoyed it though, finally had time to watch it on my day off.

Spunky Doodle is our "Queen"

Queen

I knew a male cat is called a Tom cat, but I just learned this week that a female cat is called a "Queen."

It's Donut Day! Hurray! Hurray!

All right, we have bagels too. Every Friday at work the attorneys from the floor take turns bringing donuts and bagels. Who said attorneys aren't nice? I work with a great group of people and one of my tasks is "donut coordinator." I am the one who makes out the schedule.

My favorite is the chocolate frosted ones with the custard inside, but I also like the lemon and jelly filled ones too. The coconut sprinkled ones and solid chocolate ones are good too. In fact, the only kind I really don't care for are the glazed and ones with powdered sugar. What kind do you like? How often to you eat them? I usually have two and bring one or two home at the end of the day for Gerard. I hate to see them just being thrown away. I know donuts are "fat pills" but so far, it seems I can handle them without getting fat. If I do ever need to lose weight (or fat), this is an easy food I could cut if need be.

(Due to this post having to be on a Friday, my usual "Things I Learned This Week" post will be posted tomorrow.)
