Namesake

"Namesake" Museum Display Piece 

When my grandma’s health was failing my mother took her into her home and cared for her. One day a week, my niece (my grandma’s great-grandchild) would come for the day for a visit. One afternoon after a book was read a kiss was shared and my mother was there with her camera.

When my grandma died shortly after, the funeral home needed pictures to display. Normally only one picture is blown up and framed. On their own the funeral home displayed two pictures with one being the kiss between my grandma and my niece. The picture created quite a stir within the heart. For me it was looking at two of my favorite and most important people in my life.

My mother’s cousin, Ellen Sue, saw the picture and was instantly drawn to it. She asked if she could have a copy and my mother emailed one to her. Little did we all know that the picture would turn into a piece of art, which will be around forever.

Ellen painted the picture on porcelain. She has told us it was the fastest thing she had ever painted in her life and the outcome is breathtaking.

The porcelain portrait named “Namesake” will be on display in the Oklahoma Museum for one year.

Ugly Rattler

The perfect gift for the next baby shower you attend......Especially if you hate the baby.

 

Ultimate Girl Power

A woman was sitting at a bar enjoying an after work cocktail with her girlfriends when an exceptionally tall, handsome, extremely sexy middle-aged man entered. He was so striking that the woman could not take her eyes off him. The young-at-heart man noticed her overly attentive stare and walked directly toward her. Before she could offer her apologies for so rudely staring, he leaned over and whispered to her, "I'll do anything, absolutely anything, that you want me to do, for $20.00 - on one condition." Flabbergasted, the woman asked what the condition was. The man replied, "You have to tell me what you want me to do in just three words." The woman considered his proposition for a moment, then slowly removed a $20 bill from her purse, which she pressed into the man's hand along with her address. She looked deeply into his eyes, and slowly, and meaningfully said..."Clean my house."

75% Normal

You Are 75% Normal (Really Normal)

Otherwise known as the normal amount of normal. You're like most people most of the time. But you've got those quirks that make you endearing. You're unique, yes... but not frighteningly so!

How Normal Are You?

Like Me

I am alone.
Sitting here in the darkness,
thinking about my sadness.
Where has my happiness gone?
When will my peace come back to me?
Will I be able to love again?
Can I trust life to bring me the good, which others
seem to have?
Maybe this life is just a dream.
Maybe everyone lives in darkness.
Maybe everyone is alone.
Like me.

Personal Ad

I am a deep feeler. I am spoiled. I am independent. I am a deep thinker. I feel and think about the pain others have. Rather voluptuous. I love to laugh and be silly at times. I am sometimes stubborn, grandiose and self-indulgent but always kind and extremely generous. I am artistic, charming, romantic, creative, indecisive, insecure, and emotionally demanding at times. I am intuitive and sometimes up tight and tense. Will love with all I have and then some.

The Light Is Waiting

I can see the light
I can feel the light
shinning
gleaming, wanting me to call it in
soak it up
live in the now
love the moment
love and light forever
the happiness can begin right now
this moment isn’t lost forever
it is here
waiting
for me to see the light
feel the light
have the light within

Excitement Wears Off Quickly!

I am charming and creative, and look for both harmony and excitement. My ability to see both sides can sometimes leave me sitting on the fence. I have good negotiating skills, which gets me out of tight corners at times. I love to initiate new projects but I can get bored when the first excitement wears off and will look for the next thing to be involved in. I move on quickly. I usually leave a trail of broken hearts as I charm, conquer and retreat. I have the ability to be a peace maker when others are locked in dispute. I can see both sides and perceive the underlying tensions.

I am artistic, however never pleased with what I create. I avoid conflicts and I will avoid all unpleasantness. I have exquisite expensive taste and I am a master at coordination, yet anal with my work and how others perceive me. I am a gentle, peace-loving character. I need to work and live in a harmonious environment in a beautiful surrounding. HUGE TURN OFF: Crude behavior, poor manners and foul language. TURN ON: I love hearing and sharing life experiences.

Rubber Addiction 

Addictive Personality

I am so v ashamed at the $ I have spent on rubber stamps! I made a commitment to myself today. I will only allow myself to purchase un-mounted stamps. Although this still feeds the addiction, it will also eliminate ½ of my purchasing. It is a small start but however little it is, it is still a beginning.

My Next Trip To Earth

Tired and yet unable to sleep! So v glad Friday is tomorrow! I can't wait to sleep in on Saturday! Getting up at 5:15 a.m. is NOT fun! So glad not to be Paris Hilton, however, would have liked to have been born into a v rich family. I guess there is always next trip to earth.....something to look forward to.
