When my cousin Scott was about 4 years old, he got into trouble for crossing the street to visit the neighbor girl without permission. As punishment, his parents put him on restriction from playing with the neighbors for the rest of the day. A little while after the law was laid down, his neighborhood playmate came outside and yelled across the road for him to come over and play. He hollered back:
"I can't, I'm on refriction."
"I don't know what it is, but I'm on it!"
It's a classic story in our family, and it makes me laugh everytime I remember it. Scott was - and is - a funny guy. (Luckily, his fashion sense has improved since childhood):
What is my point? you ask.
Well, I am punishing myself with a temporary blog "refriction" for the next few days, so that I can get a handle on my real-life responsibilities. Oh, I'll still log on now and then to respond to your comments and visit my followers, but there will be no What the @%*#?! Wednesday or Photostory Friday this week.
While I'm away, feel free to browse my Best of Beauty and the little Beast collection, and of course, enter my A Work of Heart Giveaway for a chance - or five - to win a gorgeous piece of jewelry!
Take care and I'll see you around the blogosphere very soon!

Enjoy your refriction... we'll miss you and hurry back!
Enjoy your break - I'm due for another one seeing as how I did NOTHING during the last one LOL
Enjoy your refriction. Love when kids mess words up. We told my son Christmas is a time to celebrate Jesus birthday and he said "it is cheeses birthday, I didn;t know cheese had a birthday". LOL
We laugh at our boys misuse of words when they were little even to this day and they are now almost 22, 20 and 14. We had one who planted kern on the front perch and one who always yelled, there goes United Possum, LOL. Our youngest always talked pretty plain and precise. In fact, we were talking about that just the other day.
Wanted to let you know I gave you an Attitude of Gratitude award at my blog!
those pics are too cute and priceless... i bet he was none to happy with you posting them though.
Hope your "refriction" allows you to get everything accomplished so you can get back here quickly!
Enjoy your refriction! I've been taking it pretty easy on blogging over the weekend and this week and it is always a nice break (even if it was induced by the stomach flu!).
I should probably put myself on refriction for a bit too, but I'm a selfish creep right now, so I'll wait a few weeks. That's a funny story, too. I'll share mine: my kids like to pretend they are going to the movie theater and #2 always class me the shepherd. He means usher, but he just can't get it right:) When they are not fighting, complaining, whining, or screaming, they are kinda cute!
I hope you get caught up on your real life stuff! I just came off refriction! ;) Cute story.

Hey, thanks for stopping by my blog and introducing yourself. Can't wait for the swap...I am completely addicted to these things. Enjoy your "refriction" and see ya later!
I know the feeling of self-refriction (especially in the blog world, 'cause this stuff can really eat into your real life duties, dang it!) Enjoy the break.
What the @%*#?! am I supposed to do for my "What the @%*#?!" fix?
It's good to take stock of "reality" once in a while.
This story was awesome! And what's wrong with his fashion sense?
When my parents would tell me that it was foggy outside, I used to think they were saying "froggy." It baffled me when there were no froggies.
Love it! Such a cute and fun story. Ah, blog breaks... I think they are necessary every once in a while. A good way to catch our breath so to speak. Enjoy your time away. Looking forward to your return.
LOL That's hilarious!
Have fun on your "refriction". ;0P
