Everyone should know about this!

I don't plan to do alot of advertising on here but everyone should know about this! :-)
If you click on the picture, it should take you right to thier web site.
( Shouldn't they pay me for this?)
--Oh I was in such a hurry when I posted this (running late, as usual) and the image is cropped so poorly that I didn't really even tell you what "this" is. Baskin-Robbins has a 31cent-scoop night once a year. You can get a scoop of ice cream for just 31cents.
This year, that night is April 30th!
Wouldn't that be COOL if your birthday was April 30th and you could go to 31Flavors that night?
(hint hint to you know who you are)

(Okay, I suppose I did a little advertising with my favorite lemon products, sorry about that.)
Oh and by the way my FAVORITE lemon Cookie at the moment is, of course, Girl Scouts' Lemon Chalet Cremes! Call me if you need to try one!

Was it something I said?

To date, I only have 4 blog links listed in my sidebar. They haven't been there THAT long either. But I noticed that two of them don't even exist anymore. Should I take this personally? Did I say something wrong?
They are really funny women too.

I assume they weren't just hiding from me...were they? hhhhmmm....

So you tell me;

Exactly how high can a mountain of laundry get?

The dirty one or the clean one?


sigh...

The Lemon Seven

Okay, you know what memes are right? You get "tagged" by another blogger to do something specific - tell a certain number of things about yourself or answer specific question(s)... then you comply, post the requested response on your blog and then tag others to do the same.
Well, I am quite late on a tag I received, literally, last year. Technically I am only 4 months late, but it was at the end of Dec 2007. Although my friend, Luisa, had decided not to tag anyone, my smart-alecky comments caused her to make an exception. (Lucky me.) ;-P
Seeing as this is my first meme on this blog, giving you just seven completely random things about me seemed a touch odd. So I decided to give it a theme; lemons.
Seven things about me relating to lemons:


1) One of my very favorite scents is Lemon!
It wakes me up (atleast to the extent possible on the amount of sleep I get), It makes me smile. It is such a happy scent. -- Not candy counter kind of lemon, freshly scratched lemon peel kind of lemon! (Closely followed in preference by the scent of a bowl of fresh nectarines.)

2) This is the background image for my profile on our laptop;




3) I think Lemons are like sunshine in the form of fruit.

4) So far, my very favorite lemon candle is Henri Bendel's lemon Verbena- I found mine (on-sale) at Bath and Body Works.
If you know of any other really good lemon candles, let me know!

5) This is my FAVORITE recipe for lemon bars! (thanks again, Luisa)

6) Somewhat recently my daughters and I have developed a patronage to CVS drug store's Essence of Beauty Line in the Lemon Twist scent. -don't be confused with the Citrus coconut scent - it is NOT the same! Don't accidentally grab the sunflower one either- the packaging is VERY similar!
Note: I was excited to see that both the bath gel and the hand soap contained citric acid (the nearly vital ingredient for any good lemon product) until I found that most soaps on the market contain citric acid. Oh well.

7) I have had the ability to bite right into a lemon slice since about the age of 3, and often do. (much to my dentists' chagrin)

There you go, 7 things about lemons and me. I now tag Mary, With a Y and my sisters, April and Holly. (sorry, my sisters both have 'invitation-only blogs') Oh, and no you are not required to give it a theme, unless you want to.

PS: Apparently "soon" = just shy of a month
