St. Paddy's Day Fun Monday

This week's host is Nikki!

And her Fun Monday theme are the following;

1.) I don't know about you, but my family is great at creating strange words that only we know the meaning. Some were created when the kids were first learning to talk, others came about when our tongues were twisted and the word came out funny. Either way, the words stuck and we still use them in our daily conversations. What created words does your family use?! Please share the story behind the word if you remember. If you don't have a made up word then tell us about the unspoken way you communicate with someone. Do you and your significant other have a look that means "This party is boring, lets split" or do you have a look that your kids know means their butt is in serious trouble? Please share!! And a picture of the look would be very entertaining!

OR/AND

2.) In honor of St. Paddy's Day, please share your worst green beer story!

Please check her SITE to see who are playing!

Have a FUN Monday everyone!

Give me 5: Things Left Unsaid

Next week's Fun Monday host is I.T. Guy and his Fun Monday challenge is -

"I need YOU (yes, the wonderful YOU!) to pick 5 memorable lines from 5 different movies (if you could tell us which character said it and to whom, would be a bonus)...and tell us to WHOM (who in the people in your life) you could have said those lines."

Are you up for the challenge?

Fun Monday: Mr. DeMille Edition (March 3)

Fun Monday will be hosted from the planet of Janet!

And Janet says;

So here's what I want to read about: Write the brief synopsis of this film that you might use to pitch this project and cast the principal players. Who would play you? You can either cast or ignore significant others, children and/or pets. This is, after all, YOUR movie about you you YOU! Illustrate as needed with casting photos or filming locations. Your life not interesting enough? Hey, this is Hollywood. Never let the facts get in the way of a good story!

Fun Monday Past Themes!

In an effort to help out new hosts, and to locate archived Fun Monday themes, the following is a list of Fun Mondays since its January 2007 inception.

What began as just something fun to do on a random Monday, has turned into a delightful meme with international appeal (please let me know if I've skipped a week or if you notice any incorrect or broken links!).
