Birthday

For Judy's husband

Forget the vitamin just give me the darn cupcake!

I found this on one of my favorite playful artist website. Thought it was SO Fraubyers! I just may, when I get rich, purchase her a T-shirt! Go and take a look at her stuff! It is fab and fun.

Seriously?

I read where Richard Gere kissed Shilpa Shettty (a film star in India) on the cheek while he was there promoting health issues and AIDS awareness and now they both are facing jail terms and fines for vulgarity and the tendency to corrupt society. Huh?

I remember a friend of mine in high school got grounded for a month from seeing or talking to her boyfriend because he kissed her on the cheek in public. I was a little shocked she got into so much trouble and that was during the 80’s.

Since the 80’s I believe our society has become too casual with moral issues but how do you reverse what has been done? Should we start imposing jail sentences on anyone caught cuddling in public? Where do you draw the line? What one person sees as vulgar isn’t what the next person believes.

What do you think? Is showing a little love by giving a peck on the cheek dangerous for society?

Passing this class with an A+

If you have been reading on my blog lately then you know I have been having problems with pain in my left shoulder region. Last night I wasn't feeling well so I went to bed with pain when I got home from work. During this time I dreamed. I know you are supposed to dream every night but I don't normally remember....I remembered this time! The Byers children were in my dreams and they were hurting me. They weren't hurting me on purpose of course but because they were happy to see me and were jumping on me. I keep yelling NO! NO! PLEASE STOP you are hurting me. I remember wrecking my car because Griffin jumped through my window and I ended up smashing my head and falling in an open basket. I knew I couldn't get out and Griffin keep jumping on me. Then both Griffin and Erin were on my knees jumping and my knees were bleeding. The next thing I remember is barely walking because my shoulder was in such pain and I looked up to see Fraubyers and husband. I had glasses on, which were broken and they were shocked to see me like that. They had no idea the children were so happy to see me. MAN! Was that a crazy dream or what?! I got up around 8:30 and stayed awake for a couple hours and then went back to bed. I remember dreaming again. This time I was in a school but I was in charge of feeding a child from the school. We were given a letter and number and I was supposed to find the corresponding line. It was such a weird dream too! I know I have had crazy dreams in the past when I don't feel well but this was some crazy stuff! My teacher was teaching a language class. The class was on how to talk with a southern accent.

Miss Violet

She is still doing very well! I had to give her a haircut today and take off some dead but she is still blooming! I just can't believe she is still alive. I am so very happy that I haven't killed her off. This is big news for me. I normally do not do well with houseplants. They die at my hands. She is such a special plant. She is telling me..."You can do it! YES, you CAN take care of me without killing me!" And I am so happy that I have done this well with her!!

RX Needed

I have diagnosed myself with having a bone spur in my shoulder/back area. This comes from me doing research on the internet. All I can say is that I haven’t been sleeping for about 2 weeks and the pain comes and goes. It is sharp pain. It is very sharp pain. It is killer pain. If you don’t get the message, it hurts really, really badly. I go back to see the doctor on Wednesday. I may ask for an x-ray to see if there are any deposits on the bone. I am thinking this is the shoulder, which I fell on when I was about 20 years old. It was extremely painful when I had the accident and I am wondering if arthritis has set in. Pray this isn’t the case. I haven’t finished paying off my January doctor bills yet. I want to find out what the cause of the pain is from so I can fix this and move on. It isn’t fun to walk around with pain.

Mags arranged her toys like this to make sure she could see them and they could see her!

You are under my powers!

I saw something and it made me remember that you can’t control how others are going to act but you can control how you react. I need to remember this and when my buttons are being pushed at work I need to stop. Sometimes I feel my blood boiling and I get so tied up in emotions that I don’t react like I would like. So I am really going to work on, remember and focus on words being said are just words. I want to choose not to be OR get angry and stay in the moment. This will be a hard thing for me to do but I know I will feel a lot better if I can do it.

The Clock Is Broken!

I am really going to have to watch my attitude. I am finding myself less and less patience with boss 2. Him going over and over the same crap with me is getting old. Today I stated, “I don’t need to go over this again as I completely understand.” I have told this anal man that if I have questions, I will not hesitate to ask. He should know this as I do ask questions!

I was in training and the trainer said to me one time.....”Does he want to know how to make the clock or does he want to know what time it is.” This was pertaining to boss 1. I never knew if he wanted great detail or just highlights of a particular situation. It worked. I guess our next meeting I am going to have to tell boss 2 that I NEVER want to know how to make the damn clock UNLESS I ask how to make the damn clock because this shit is getting old. Just tell me the damn time and move along!

This does show I am a high D personality. I can apologize for it but it won't change...it is how I am wired. As soon as boss 2 realizes this, the better we all will be!

Dinner

Paul was happy. We made it to the Red Onion and had fried foods. Paul was planning on painting when we returned home and I told him he would be in a food coma. Boy was I right! He gave Mags a bath, sat down and started snoring!!!

Speaking of eating fried foods...Paul made the announcement that he wouldn't be able to "eat like this when I start training." I asked what he would be training for and he said to be an astronaut. He then asked Mags if she knew what astronauts did and she said, "They float!"

Where is that boo boo anyway??

This morning my niece had to show me where she hurt herself on her little arm. She raised both sleeves of her shirt and looked and looked. Having trouble locating the scratch, she turned the light on. She still couldn’t see anything so she went right up to the light. Once she finally found the boo boo, she ran to me and asked me to kiss it. I kissed the little scrap, which obviously didn’t hurt or it would have been easily found, and asked her if that helped it feel better. She said it felt better. I couldn’t help but smiling and thinking about this on my way to work. Very precious!

It is EVIL

My niece wanted much of my attention today. I was telling her I had to figure my evil taxes. She was asking all kinds of questions. Finally after I was finished she asked me if I had finished my evil taxes. It almost made me laugh...I say almost because I am quite depressed. I owe almost $700 BUCKS, which I will have to put onto my credit card, which is/will be maxed. I just can't get a break and I am sick of it. Just totally sick of it.

Government Blues

Three contractors are bidding to fix a broken fence at the White House. One from New Jersey, another from Tennessee and the third from Florida. They go with a White House official to examine the fence. The Florida contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil. "Well," he says, "I figure the job will run about $900: $400 for materials, $400 for my crew and $100 profit for me." The Tennessee contractor does some measuring and figuring, then says, "I can do this job for $700: $300 for materials, $300 for my crew and $100 profit for me." The New Jersey contractor doesn't measure or figure, but leans over to the White House official and whispers, "$2,700." The official, incredulous, says, "You didn't even measure like the other guys! How did you come up with such a high figure?" The New Jersey contractor whispers back, "$1,000 for me, $1,000 for you, and we hire the guy from Tennessee to fix the fence."
The government official replies, "Done!"

Dreamed up phone number leads man to a bride

I found this on the web this morning!

LONDON (Reuters) - A British man has met and married a 22-year-old woman after, by his own account, dreaming of her phone number and then sending her a text message.

David Brown, 24, says he woke up one morning after a night out with friends with a telephone number constantly running through his head. He decided to contact it, sending a message saying "Did I meet you last night?."

Random recipient Michelle Kitson was confused and wary at first but decided to reply and the two began exchanging messages. Eventually they met and fell in love.

"It was really weird but I was absolutely hooked," Kitson told the Daily Mail newspaper. "My mum and dad kept saying 'But he could be an axe murderer', but I knew there was something special about it."

After a long courtship, the oddly matched couple -- he's six foot seven inches tall and she's five foot four -- have just returned from their honeymoon in the Indian resort of Goa.

A love-struck Brown said: "I've no idea how I ended up with her number in my head -- it's only a few digits different from mine."

I had a close friend who needed to get carpet repaired. She went to the phone and dialed a number and it was a carpet repair place! Amazing what the universe will bring to you if you desire it.

What to do?

I have been thing about what to do with my friend Beth and her daughter who is coming in to see me. Even though we speak to each other a couple times a week, it has been YEARS since I have seen them. In fact, it may be close to 10 years!! I know, sitting and talking is always an option but it would be fun to physically do something too! I asked SIL if she had any suggestions. Here is the list I found on my bathroom sink this morning.

-Go fishing in neighborhood pond
-Go skateboarding
-Go to Old County Buffet and camp out for hours eating all you can eat
-Make corks pop off bottles by putting baking soda and vinegar in bottle right before capping
-Go to the grocery store and throw cans from one aisle over to the next aisle...sit back and wait for screams
-Hunt for meat for dinner tonight - in the wild, not the grocery store...be sure to wear your brothers hat with the fur ear flaps
-Got to each McDonald's in area and ask (beg) for a free hamburger...don't stop until your full
-Play on the jungle gym while at McDonald's
-Dress up like cowboys and Indians and play
-Go square dancing
-Dust every surface in our house
-Perform an outdoor concert on the steps of Monument Circle downtown Indy at lunch time
-Have a seance
-Visit cosmetic surgery center and ask for brochures on sex reassignment operations
-Go get pedicures (this is a very silly idea!)
-Make a giant rubber band ball

Thanks for the great suggestions!!

Judy's Going Away Party

Please mark on your schedule a party on Saturday night (after Fraubyers gets off work!) for Judy's going away party! For those of you who do not know....She is going to AFRICA! Location will be some place, which serves alcohol...Not that we are drinkers but a drink would be nice for a toast! Gifts, cards and/or good cheer are all welcomed! (Smiles!!)

Easter Blessings To You!

Here is a picture, which my mom took after she made her Easter cake. I know the picture did not do the cake justice and the picture is beautiful!!

Everyone came to our house for Easter, plus one of SIL friends from Kokomo. We had 2 kinds of turkey, veggies, bread, 2 salads (not to mention a home-made cake my mom made!) and lots of other goodies! A couple (the same few each year) decorated the eggs while the others watched golf! It was a very nice relaxing day.

I got an Easter basket (See below) from an awesome friend!!! I also got a pail of goodies from SIL and Easter Lillies and tea from SIL mother! I couldn't believe all the goodies I received! I would post pictures but haven't gotten my camera with me but I am blessed with all the love given to me!

Speaking of giving love....my mom made Fraubyers and family a dozen cupcakes! Isn't that the greatest! My mom wanted to make sure those babies got some cake for themselves! They are very cute and my mom is the best!!

Easter and All Year Blessings to you and yours!

Hello Monday!

Sad! Sad! Sad Day!!! I had to go make another March payment on my car at the bank because of an error somewhere. The first time, the bank wrote down the wrong account number so it looked as if I never made my payment. Now I am getting calls out the whazoo from the collection agency stating I never paid. They said my check bounced. When looking at my statement online it couldn’t have and it didn’t. So the (car) bank was crappy with me and told me to make contact with my bank. So I called and they said no that my check wasn’t returned and it never has even gone through to them yet. I don’t know what happened so the bank who holds my loan for a car called yet again (3rd time today! Can you say harassment?!) and I asked them for a copy of the bounced check, which they will send to me. In the meantime, they wanted the March payment AND the April payment. The April payment isn’t due until the 19th. I was like, are you nuts? Anyway, they wanted me to pay by phone to them and charge me an additional fee to do so (19 bucks or something ridicules like that!). I said, “NO, I will go to the bank here next to my work and pay there.” So that is what I did. On my way back, more sad news was received as I went into my FAVORITE Java spot, Java Junction, and found the owner has to sell. He isn’t making any money and HAS to sell. I am heartbroken. If you ever had this coffee and compared it to Starbucks coffee you would pick Java’s coffee. It is so sad for him. He looked like he might cry when he told me. I was sad for his luck and for mine.
