Friday Fragments-HAPPY DAAA AY TO MEEE!

It is time for Friday Fragments from Half Past Kissing Time

Happy Birthday Katie - on the Google page!

I woke up today and didn't remember right away..... that it was my birthday, until Google and Mr BC told me.  Mr BC sang out Happy DAAA AY to you. That is our Birthday song since DD2 sang Happy DAAA AY to MEEE! when she was 4 years old. He admitted later that he had just seen a reminder on Facebook  It is a disconcerting fact that the interwebs know too much about you.  We hope to go out to dinner for my birthday, tomorrow with DD2!

But this is so true too!

I don't have corgoon.  Just one sweet Gwennie.

"Corgi" is a Welsh word - a compound of cor (“dwarf”) and ci (“dog”).  The proper plural form is thus "Corgwn" -
- which  would be pronounced something like "corgoon."

"I list this as "trivia" because the word has been so Anglicized that "corgis" is in common usage, and your use of "corgwn" in a conversation will be seen as pompous intellectualism, unless perhaps you engage your audience by also sharing some of the other English words derived from Welsh (penguin?)" TYWKIWDBI.

I learned about corgwn from TYWKIWDBI  a blogger I follow for his quite interesting and varied posts. He got it from a QI podcast another QI site I will explore.

This is not a commercial for English Muffins....but, I am so sorry I did not buy two of these as they are to die for and when I go back to get some more, they will not be available.  It really tastes like apple pie. 

Hippo has things to do.  Just like me, so have a great weekend.

1.  What has kept you busy lately?

This guy is keeping me busy, today was challenging because he had a meltdown when I tried to take him home from the park.

2.  Are you making or creating anything? Memories with my 2nd grandson.  He is staying home with Mama and Gramma while his brother and dad are in Belgrade.

3.  What are you really hungry for right now? Lunch.....but I want to get this posted before I eat so I can comment on everyone's answers while I dine.
4.  What song has stuck in your head lately? Bing Bong Boom as sung by Miss Giselle on Peppa Pig.  Caшa is OBSESSED with Peppa Pig.

5.  If I could celebrate my upcoming birthday with you, what would we do? Well if I am still in Santa Barbara, I would take you to lunch on Stearns Wharf and we could visit the Art Walk on Sundays on the beach. 

Happy, Happy Birthday Baby!

Today is Mr Bankerchick's 70th birthday.  We don't have anything planned as the snow is quite deep and we haven't been outside since Friday.  It is very cold....but by Friday it will be up to 60F, so maybe we will do something.

Birthday Celebrations

I found this on Imgur this morning and it perfectly described my night.  I had things to think about and laid awake for quite a while.  We are taking off for CA next week, for Caшa, Лука, and DD1's birthdays.  They are a day apart and Caшa shares the day with his Mama. We haven't been able to celebrate with them since moving to MO.  There is still so much to do to get ready.

At Christmas, we were both going to see the kids for Christmas, because we think it is important for the boys to celebrate our traditions too. I ended up flying to CA without Mr BC, since they were going to be in the process  of moving into their new lovely house.  Mr BC loves Christmas and would be sad that the usual Christmas goings on would be neglected.....as many were.  I left him behind to celebrate with DD2.  It was a good idea since there was so much work to do that Christmas afternoon was spent cleaning the old house so they could get their deposit back. Mr BC would have certainly complained about that.  Christmas comes every year so we will be back next year.

The boys are lucky in that, SIL celebrates Orthodox Christmas as well in January, and this year they traveled to their cousin's home in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to visit and celebrate.  The boys are well traveled and since SIL's cousin has been transferred to Africa for his job (he heads a humanitarian aid program for Ethiopia), they decided to make the trip for Orthodox celebration. The whole Serbian family was going to be there. The plans were made well before they found the perfect house in the Santa Barbara area, and since they had the tickets, they decided to go on this trip anyway 3 days after Christmas and the move.  This of course meant that we had to work fast which made the whole moving process even more difficult. I can't wait to hear more about the boys trip and see their pictures. Лука got a camera for Christmas
