It’s time for Aloha Friday again.  Our host is Kailani at An Island Life.  The rules are very simple.  Just post a question, answer it, and then visit other participants and answer their questions. 
My question this week:

My answer:

I am currently at my inlaws’ house in OK.  I have no scale on which to weigh myself and no tape measure to take my measurements.  So I have no idea how much I weigh.  I’m pretty sure I have gained some weight, but do not know how much.  It is currently snowing and very [...]

I didn’t put up a Christmas tree this year [...]

This week’s theme for Photo Hunter is small.  This is my parents’ new dog, Daisy.  She is very small.  I don’t think this picture really shows how small she is.  However, she is absolutely adorable.

Contest Best is giving away a Nintendo Wii! My brother has one and I am so jealous. Not only would it be great to play all the games, but also for exercising. Contest Best’s sponsor is CellforCash.com where you can sell your phone. So, if you want a Wii, go [...]
