SHARE YOUR WORLD – 2013 WEEK 23

Posted on July 16, 2013 by firstandfabulous | 34 Comments

I’m the member of a new club. One that makes me a little uncomfortable because I need to share with strangers. Some of you are not really strangers, but, still. You don’t know all that much about me and it’s a little bit scary this sharing business. Cee @ ceephotography.com extends the invitation for all to share with this unique challenge, and I’ve been resisting – FOR 22 WEEKS! – but I’ve finally decided to lighten up and give it a try. It’s like a little questionnaire. I can do this.

First question:

Are you mostly a clean or messy person?

Mostly messy.

That was easy.

Question # 2:

As a kid was there any kind of candy that you didn’t like to get? How about now?

No! Candy was a special treat for my sister and I. We were not well off and that was a once-in-an-every-so-often delight, so we didn’t turn our noses up to any candy, if the chance presented itself. Now, I’m doing a little better and I have my choice of delights. Skittles is NOT one of them. YUCK!

Question numero 3:

Do you believe in extraterrestrials or life on other planets?

I feel, like Cee, that there must be something, someone, somewhere out there. They’re just too smart to get involved with us – until we find a better way to treat each other. How do you think we’d treat extraterrestrials if we crossed their paths? I shutter to think! Besides, after seeing this, I’m pretty sure aliens do exist.

HeeHee

And finally:

Have your blogging goals changed?

My blog, First and Fabulous, started out as a first grade blog idea. That never got off the ground. Then I found photography, and the rest is history. I still feel like First and Fabulous suits me. (or is that wishful thinking?) In any event, yes my goals have changed. I’m more about writing, learning photography, and sharing a few laughs.

Now. That wasn’t so hard. I might do this again. 🙂

TRAVEL THEME: CIRCLES

Posted on December 8, 2012 by firstandfabulous | 16 Comments

Today we made a quick trip uptown to grab a book at the library and were pleasantly surprised that the parking meters were in the ‘off’ position – a holiday gift that the town bestows on us each year. We had forgotten about this little treat, so since there was no hurry to relinquish the space, we decided to cruise the avenue.

Our first stop was the local Christmas tree shop. I searched for circles, this week’s theme hosted by Ailsa at wheresmybackpack, but it appears circles are in not a big thing when it comes to browsing through Scotch Pines. I snapped a pic of this decorative cabbage and, after sniffing a spruce or two, we moved on.

Our next stop was the Sweet Shop. I did a little better there. We found cookies and candy and some circular boxes filled with all kinds of gummies. The strip on the wall – does anyone remember those?

I’m a sucker for a giant lollipop!

(Ugh! Sorry)

Next stop, the town’s newest shop, Blue Moon. We stopped in for a taste, as was advertised in the Collingswood Patch, and we were not disappointed. This place is oozing with olive oils that were vying for space with vinegarettes. After a bit of taste-testing, we made off with a Chipotle Olive Oil and, my favorite, Fig Balsamic Vinegarette.

A little more strolling around town and then off for a cup of coffee and some giant, colorful cookies.

All in all a good day of circle searching.

With all the hustle and bustle and running in circles, while hunting down presents and mailing out cards, remember the meaning and don’t lose the feeling, spread kindness and love and lots of good cheer. Be kind. Smile. Relax. Breathe.
