Scavenger Hunt Sunday (2/19/12)...

Okay, I apologize upfront for this BUT...I need to use my Scavenger Hunt Sunday post for a bit of rant. Is it just happening to MOI?  Or is everyone being inundated with word verification these past few days?  Not just "regular" word verification BUT hard to read, squiggly lined, not one but TWO words of word verification?  It seems like it is on every post I try to comment on.  ARGH!  I'm 52 and my eye sight ain't what it use to be folks.  I like to comment on blogs, but it has become akin to jumping thru hoops...blind-folded.  Quite often, I have to just "guess" on what some letters actually are.  I'm amazed at how often I guess correctly.  If only that strategy had worked as well back when I took my SATs! So I upfront apologize to all those who have this word verification thingy going on.  I don't want to seem like I'm ignoring folks.  I appreciate ALL comments I get here, and I like to reciprocate.  But it is getting harder and harder to do so.  If I can't "guess" the letters correctly on the first try...I am most likely to not try again.  Okay, I try TWO times...but then I'm done.  Three MAX!

Whew, now that I got that off my chest...on to Scavenger Hunt Sunday with the lovely Ashley at "Ramblings and Photos" .  As always, if you have the time I urge you to head over to her blog to see all the wonderful submissions for this week's prompts.

1.  Love

Kisses + hearts = LOVE

2.  Duplicated

"Mosaic"
Manayunk, PA

Pieces + Pieces + Pieces = Duplicated

3.  Trend or Trending

"Privacy"

Whitney + Houston = A very sad trend

Not sure if anything trended higher this week than the passing of Whitney Houston.  So many stated they saw this coming, it was only a matter of time.  Since her death, she hasn't been far from my mind.  Wondering what her life must have been like never being able to fight her demons in private, to always have people looking at her, speculating, passing judgements.  Even tho she was in the public eye, it must have been a lonely existence trying to hide her battles.  Walking the fine line between stardom and protecting privacy. Knowing when to draw the blinds, circle the wagons, heal herself.  RIP.

4.  Paper

Cover + Pages = Paper

OLD paper.  The Better Half's family bible from 1870.

5.  Plastic

"Get Your Ducks In A Row"

Nada + Imagination = Plastic

You know what I realized trying to shoot this prompt?  I just don't have that much plastic around my house!  Thankfully I have my fine jewelry.  I got this exquisite piece up in New Hope one afternoon while with the Better Half.  This bracelet put a big dent in his wallet.  I'm still waiting for the perfect outfit to accessorize it with.

And there ya have it, another Scavenger Hunt Sunday in the books.  I'm going to get my coffee AND my eye-glasses (for all those word verifications) and do some blog surfing to see what every one else came up with this week. Hope you all have a wonderful Sunday.
