Hoops and YoYo

Remember the post I made on taking Time Outs? Well, here it is again in case you don't or are new here:
  • Time Out

  • And you may have noticed there's a new link over there since about Tuesday to Hoops and YoYo. Hoops and YoYo have been for several months now, one of my favorite places to Time Out.

    Here's the odd thing (okay, the other odd thing ~ Hoops and YoYo are pretty odd to begin with) ~ they are a division of Hallmark of all places. They are not their own independent, funky little website. They just seem like their own independent, funky little website. And they make me laugh.

    They make me laugh on days when all is right in my world. They make me laugh when I'm having one of those days. When I am happy, sad, irritated, sarcastic (okay, I'm always sarcastic but you get the idea), they can make me laugh. And that's saying quite a lot in this day and age. Just as we need more Time Outs, we need more laughter.

    Now, let me warn you ~ my sense of humor is a bit...ahem...touched. A little random, shall we say. However, for me, an over-caffeinated, sugared up pink...cat, maybe and green...bunny, I think...singing about needing more caffeine and more sugar and telling ghost stories about giant, mutant marshmallows is just random enough to make me laugh.

    So, check them out. They may not be your cup of tea and that's fine. Even if they don't make you laugh, you will, at least, have gotten a Time Out. And we all need more of those.

    Those are Pobble Thoughts. That and a buck fifty will get you coffee (and a donut with extra sprinkles!)

    You are now officially my new favorite person. You called them "sprinkles." Mr. Jaded insists that they're "jimmies" but I won't have any of that. It's sprinkles, dammit, sprinkles!!


    Ok off for my Time Out.

    I was thinking Yoyo was a dog and I have no clue what the little blue guy is. A mouse? So glad you turned me on to them!!

    Okay, thanks for the lead to Hoops and Yoyo. I am offically hooked. They are great. They actually remind me of some friends from high school and college days...present company, excluded! (lol)
