Friday Favorite

May 13, 2011

Most days when Robert gets home from work he goes straight for the pantry for a granola bar – just a little something to hold him over until dinner.  Robert always eats the granola bar and hands the wrapper over to Maxwell.  The wrapper always turns into great entertainment in what can be a touchy time of day.  So, today’s Friday Favorite are the silver, shiny Quaker Chewy granola bar wrappers.  Yea, yea…I know this is a silly Friday Favorite, but it’s just something I want to remember.  This little wrapper will literally entertain him for half an hour…

Chocolate chunk is the preferred flavor…

and, of course, it always ends up in his mouth!

Who needs fancy toys when you’ve got shiny wrappers!

On another note, have you realized today is Friday the 13th?!  Let’s all hope for no bad luck today!   Here’s an interesting tidbit from Wikipedia:

According to the Stress Management Center and Phobia Institute in Asheville, North Carolina, an estimated 17 to 21 million people in the United States are affected by a fear of this day. Some people are so paralyzed by fear that they avoid their normal routines in doing business, taking flights or even getting out of bed. “It’s been estimated that $800 or $900 million is lost in business on this day”.

Who would have thought people really get worked up over it?  If you want to learn more about the origins of Friday the 13th, here you go – Friday the 13th

I hope you all have a day full of GOOD luck and a wonderful weekend!

Would love to hear from you! 3 Comments

    There should be no fear about today.

    It’s about celebrating the Quaker Oats man; that forever-handsome, silver-stallion cereal icon. No need to worry when he’s on your side, he’s got the power of whole grain!
