The Fountain of Youth

I'm getting tired of the ads on my yahoo mail that say I can look like I did in 1998!!!

You know them...you pass your mouse over the wrinkled lady that looks like she's 109 and all of sudden, she's 18 again!!!!! ( They never have men in those ads....I wonder why, don't they get wrinkled??? Ha, we all know they do.)

Well, I've been rubbing my mouse all over my face every single day since I've seen that ad. And let me tell you, it just doesn't work!!! That's right...nope, no way Jose. I still look the same....not that I look all that bad to begin with, but there's a few crows feet I'd like to erase. I'm just letting you know so y'all don't fall for it. Don't even bother.

I'm writing my Congressman....(oh wait, he's being brought up on charges)....

Peace

Happy Monkey Monday/Serenity by the Sea

Happy Monkey Monday!

It's not Tahiti, but it'll do until I get there. I like to walk by the water. It gives me peace. This is a beach not too far from my house that I'm blessed to have friends live near and get there every once in a while.

Peace

You Would Be a Pet Monkey

Smart and unbridled, you are truly unpredictable... and a little crazy. You're very playful and funny, but you're also moody and aggressive. You're have the personality of a wild animal, which is both scary and entertaining. Why you would make a great pet: You're very smart and you know how to charm people Why you would make a bad pet: When you don't get your way, you're a bit of a monster What you would love about being a monkey: Playing interesting games with humans What you would hate about being a monkey: Not being quite smart enough to be a human!

What Kind of Pet Would You Be?

Amen

Face It

I was reading an article in the Sunday paper and came across an article about a site that tells you what people think of your looks. Facestat.com is a Web site that sells "market research for the individual" and it is based solely on looks. So I sent them a recent picture of me (from my retirement party) to get an assessment of what the average person thinks of my looks. They warned that it could get brutal and is not for the thin skinned.... At my age, my skin is pretty thick.

Here's what a panel of judges said about my photo:

describe

glowing, partied, ...

attractive

not bad

ethnicity

Caucasian / White

political affiliation

liberal

gender

female

trustworthy

maybe untrustworthy

age

42

Here's some other words used: Loopy, happy, bad-hair, wildwoman, partied, fibromyalgia(LMAO), curly sue, bright, needit, firey, trashy, goofy, ferocious, glowing, creepy, overdone, red, loud.

Well, I'm not liberal, and I am trustworthy, I don't have fibromyalgia, I do have curly, red and big hair (I just go with what God gave me). I can be loopy and goofy. I don't think I'm creepy. I do needit. I do glow at times ;-). I am firey and look out if you mess with me I am ferocious, Overdone? I don't know. If they're talking about my jewelry then yes definitely. And I did party in my day. BUT THE GREATEST THING THEY SAID WAS I LOOKED 42!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 42! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! Read that again....42!!!! (I'm not 42). So say anything you want but call me 42 and I'll love ya!!!!!

Peace

(P.S. I'm going to see Jimmy Buffet tonight!!! )

Jabba the Cat

For all those who have cats: Be advised that I used to be the proud owner of Jabba. He was a great cat! I adopted him from one of my friends who couldn't keep him and my hub fell in love with him. Jabba used to "jab" (box) with hub. He was a big, strong cat and we both loved him.

Unfortunately, Jabba took ill, got diabetes and had congestive heart failure! He was only 7 years old. We missed him a lot. Now Snotdog is here! ;-)

Here's a picture of my partial collection of crackle glass. Not only do I have red, but all colors.
I keep most of them in the front window so the sun will shine thru them.

Wordzzle

Raven, from "Views from Raven's Nest" has offered up a challenge that she calls "wordzzles".  She gives us between 8 and 10 words/phrases and we are asked to create a small but coherent paragraph using each and every word.  This is my second attempt at this.  It's fun!

The words for this week's 10-word challenge are:

Spaghetti

Larkspar

Prilosec

Roaring lion

adament

Green green grass of home

paradox

filibuster

face cream

trout fishing

Mr. Crow was getting really angry now. (yes crows get angry).  He flew down and swooped the spaghetti off of the plate of the two young lovers at the outdoor cafe, flew with it all the way home, only to get it all tangled up in the larkspur blooming under his tree!  Damn, where was his Prilosec when he needed it?

Mrs. Crow was adamant about having spaghetti tonight.  So much so she scarred every bird from the tree by screeching like a roaring lion:  "Hey Crowdaddy...I see you've gotten our dinner all tangled up in that thar larkspur again"! Her filibuster on the subject made Mr. Crow reach for his Prilosec again!

"Oh", Mr. Crow lamented, "What I wouldn't give to see the green, green grass of home once more". "Wait a minute", he thought, "wouldn't I'd rather see the green, green leaves of the trees?"  Such a paradox!   This got him thinking back to his youth, watching the humans trout fishing along the shore and waiting to pounce on their catch.  He sighed in contentment.

He was suddenly snapped out of his daydream by a face-creamed Mrs. Crow demanding her spaghetti dinner!!!!

The End

Peace

Happy Dance Friday!!!!!!!

Happy Dance Friday!!!
For some strange reason, I just love this song. I have it as a ringtone on my cell phone (I'm so mature) lol. It just makes me want to dance and I play it quite often. Gets the old bones moving.

Have a wonderful weekend all!

Bird crap detector

Blog for Peace!!!!

Mimi does it again!

Did you blog for peace today?  Go see Mimi's site and see the entire gallery of people from all over the world's peace globes.  What a woman!  She put this entire peace movement together and I believe this is the fourth time she's done it. 

So don't only blog for peace, live for peace.

A Single Rose

We used to have 12 rose bushes around the yard, but due to circumstances beyond our control we had to let them go. Hub used to cut them and bring them into the house each week. We had every color under the rainbow. Some of them died from disease, the others we had to pull out because we wanted the room for something else. Roses take a lot of work to keep them free from disease and because of time constraints and work and illness etc, we decided to give them up. Except for one lil scraggly one in the front. We thought it was going to die, but it just keeps on giving.

Here's the first bud getting ready to burst. When I saw it I smiled, then cried. (that's what I do lately as you all know). Each year, hub would go out and snip the very first rose and place it in a bud vase and leave it on the table for me. Every year!!! I've had a lot of first roses over time and this bud is my reminder of his love.

Happy Monkey Monday!

My sweet friend Mike (aka The Gosh Father) and his notorious monkey, Tom, recently bestowed these awards, which of course I am honored to receive.  

Go visit Mike and play with Tom the monkey....he's very hungry so give him a few bananas.  

 Oh, I found a girl for Tom...she's a little shy but I hear she loves bananas. ;-)  Her name is Tai, so iffin he likes her, he can call her My Tai! ahahaha.

Thank you for making my day you two.  

Nice banana huh?
