I hung a small white board outside of cube a couple weeks ago. I've been writing things on it - for the amusement of passers by. One day I wrote; how old would you be if you didn't know how old you were? Another day I wrote; the only place success comes before work is in the dictionary. Yesterday I wrote; the single biggest problem with communication is the illusion that it has taken place. I write other stuff too, like TGIF! And today it says, Happy Fall Y'all!
Anyway, off and on I've been adding to my list of things to write on the board. This morning I was looking up funny/motivational quotes and these REALLY made me laugh!!!!
Crowded elevators smell different to midgets.
Some people are like Slinky's ... not really good for anything, but you can't help smiling when you see one tumble down the stairs.
I laughed so hard tears rolled down my leg.
Worrying works! 90% of the things I worry about never happen.
My psychiatrist told me I was crazy and I said I want a second opinion. He said okay, you're ugly too.
There's a fine line between cuddling and holding someone down so they can't get away.
Does this rag smell like chloroform to you?
Man has his will, but woman has her way.
Especially those first two. Is that wrong?
OK, on to the weekend....
Tomorrow is the "International Arts Festival" on Main Street. I love our little city. Sunday I'm taking Mom to a Pink Ribbon Celebration luncheon. I would also like to hit Best Buy again. I'm thinking I might like to my own game to play on PS3. It'll have to be a kid game though. I'm not really good with the new dimensional games. Curiously, I'm not very good visually with spacial issues. Go figure. And of course, there's always more quilling to do :-)

Car show
I've been meaning to post some of these pictures for over a week now! These are from our local show on Main Street, for you gear heads :-)
This was the sign outside Mud Bugs Cafe. Alligator?
And this sign was in the seat of this car;
There were ALOT of people there! See waaaaaay down there?
I love the cars that were the same color all over!
Love the wheels! Isn't that cool?
And who doesn't love a Woody?
Bill would give his eye teeth to have this van!
And here's a couple for you buba;
I want one of these!

happy, sad, good and bad
That pretty much decribes our weekend.
Saturday, Bill had to work all day. Mom and I went to the local car show. I know it doesn't really sound like a girl kind of thing to do, but it was fun! I'm always amazed at how many people these little main street events attrack.
Then we went to check out one of the local nurseries. Always fun to see what you could be doing to your yard!
By the time I got home though, I had a horrible migraine. It took TWO miracle pills to make it stop!! Then I was just exhausted. That was the end of my entire evenning. Rats!
Sunday, I went to our local Fire Station. There weren't very many guys there! Then I remembered, there was a ceremony that morning honoring them so most of them were over at the park. That's ok though.
Then Bill and I went to upgrade our TV viewing :-) We bought a HDTV and a Play Station 3. I guess you know how the rest of the day/night went for us!!! It was pretty easy to set up and he was soooooo happy with the new game on PS3. He has today off, for his comp day...I wouldn't bet on what he's doing right now! I feel like I must be the last person in the world to have an HDTV. It sure is COOL!! oh, and just in time for Survivor!! Woohoo :-)

Today
Today there is a lot of talk about Sunday going on. Almost ten years ago, America was changed forever. Terrorism was no longer a foreign concern in some other part of the world, happening to other people. It became a tragedy in our own backyard. This morning on my favorite radio station, the morning DJ's talked about what they were doing and where they were on 9/11 and how they felt. Some of you have children now that weren't even born then or too young to care about what was going on. I wonder what a teenager or a 20 somethings perception of 9/11 is. I can say that I understand December 7th, 1941 but I can't possibly know how that generation felt. What fears they had. So I guess I don't expect someone under 20 to "get it" in regards to 9/11. I won't ask you if you remember where you were or what you were doing...most of you do of course. But what about afterwards? Did you donate money? Blood? Your time? Did you watch the news every waking moment? Did you feel guilty if you didn't? I remember distinctly, on 9/15, our 17 year old daughter came into our room and asked, "can we watch a movie?" For a brief moment I was so angry at her...but then I remembered, she's 17, the world goes on. In the blink of an eye, her senior year of high school was defined for her. So I happily said yes and she could pick whatever movie she wanted. She chose Grease. The next day, she chose The Sound of Music. The world moves on.
On the wall outside of my cube at work, I hung up a list of the names of the victims of 9/11. It took 17 pages, in a size 9 font. I sit off of a busy hallway. Lot's of people see it. Some of them comment. Some of them can't. It really hits you hard when you see all those names. All those lives, gone. Mothers, fathers, daughters, sons, spouses...
I expect to have a few good cries this weekend.
This isn't something I've shared with too many people ~ it's something I feel a need to do ~ it's something that feels important to me. I'm going to share it with you now because maybe it will inspire you to do the same. Maybe you'll tell someone else about it and they will be inspired to do the same. Maybe I just want people to think about it...and never forget.
Every year on 9/11, I go to a Fire Station and say thank you to all of the fire fighters. It isn't always the same station. A couple times I went to a Police Station. Sometimes I take a gift certificate to a local bakery with me. Once it was a bouquet of thank-you balloons. Sometimes I just go in and shake their hands and say thank-you. People don't say thank you enough. And you don't really have a lot of opportunities to say thank you to a first responder. Sometimes you just have to go the extra mile...they do.
At lunch today, I'm going to go for a walk and visit the new 9/11 memorial. It won't officially be dedicated until Sunday, but I can go and see it. If I happen to run into a first responder, I'll shake their hand and say thank you. If I happen to run into a member of our armed forces, I'll probably have to hug them.

right on!
This is what today is on my little daily ME desk calendar :-)
I think I need this framed version for my craft room :-)
Tuesday, September 6, 2011
ahhhhh
I hope you all had a delightful long weekend :-)
For us, the weather was wonderful! No more 90+ days! Hooray!! We did some yard work, some shopping, snacking, napping, those pesky house chores, reading and lots of quilling.
In the yard, the man got a hold of the clippers. I hate it when that happens...he just can't stop himself from trimming and clipping once he gets started! Needless to say, there was A LOT of debris to be picked up. We also discovered that one of the trees in the backyard is dying ~ it has this gross fungus on it;
I guess in the spring, we'll have to have it taken out. There's only branch on it right now that has any foliage on it. I know we have plenty of trees but I hate to lose one anyway.
We went with Mom to check out the sale at Kittles. They had a chair she really fell for.

It'll go great with her new dark brown sofa! And it's so contemporary too!
Plus, I got some other errands done too. Hobby Lobby, Michael's and Best Buy. We had the most fun at Best Buy. It's always fun to look at the TVs and computers/notepads. My goodness things have changed. Have you seen the Apple laptops??? I think they're less than an inch thick! Wow!
As for the quilling...I got this totally cool fine tip applicator bottle for the glue. I've been using a straight pin and a little puddle of glue. The bottle is fantastic! As a matter of fact, I started and almost finished my new project! I'm pretty tickled with it. It's for one of you though so I can't post the pictures yet :-) I can hardly wait to get started on the next project!

That's a good lookin' cow...
Many, many, many years ago, when we left southern Cal, we moved to Salt Lake City.
Bill had a car and the son. I was in my car alone. My brother and his wife drove our U-Haul down. It was cheaper to do a round trip with the U-Haul, plus, we needed help.
We left at 3:00 in the morning and finally arrived in Salt Lake about 4:00 in the afternoon. We all unloaded the truck and then walked to the corner for dinner at a little local restaurant.
We were tired. Dog tired. Super duper tired. Slap happy tired!
Now, my brother says he's a California kind of guy...but he's not really. He wants to have his own garden, he LOVES to go camping and, at the time, was interested in raising his own cow...to slaughter. So while we all at dinner, talking about the drive up, someone commented on all the farm land we passed through. That's when my brother said, in all seriousness, "y'all have some good lookin' cows." Well, it was just about the funniest thing we had ever heard in our entire lives!! You know, cuz we were tired. Dog tired. Super duper tired. Slap happy tired! Yeah, you kind of had to be there but we laughed ourselves silly!
Anyway, for almost 2 decades now, I've sending my brother cow things. Cow greeting cards, cow Christmas ornaments, cow candy, cow clothes, etc. He keeps saying "we can move on now", but you know I can't do that :-)
This past Saturday, at the Hallmark store for the Jim Shore signing, I had to purchase something there for Mr. Shore to sign. Can you guess what I bought? Go ahead, try. Need a hint? Really? OK...mooooooo. Now do you know? Yep uh huh, I bought a cow!
I'm not giving it to my brother though. This will be a keeper for me. It's special because of the cow story :-)
Jim Shore was an extremely nice/kind gentleman. He told me the history of this cow, why he did it and what his inspiration was. If I was a complete fanatic for his art, I would have peed my pants that he took so much time to chat with me.
My Mom's friend went with us and he told her a delightful story...she commented on what a beautiful signature he has. He said that when he and his wife were very young and just struggling to make ends meet, they spent a weeks pay on a piece of art they really wanted. They had an opportunity to have it signed by the artist but the artist just scribbled his name and didn't say anything to his wife and him! Fast forward a couple decades and now people are spending their hard earned money on HIS artwork. He said he made a promise to himself when he "made it", that he would never treat his fans that way. I have to say, I was pretty impressed with the time he took with every single person who was there.

ta da!
Here is the completion of the latest quilling project...it's my niece's favorite word, in her favorite colors;
It's the very first quilled word I've done. Of course, I would do it differently now but I'm happy with it.
Busy weekend coming up for me/us.
Tomorrow, Mom is coming with me to the Jim Shore signing. It's going to be at a place called Cynthia's Hallmark :-) It also happens to be the largest Hallmark store in the NATION! 25,000 square feet! Yep, gonna be fun!
Sunday is the Moto GP race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. It looks to be a beautiful day for racing.
And just a side thing...I was looking at the back of my head this morning, (I don't usually do that) and I was wondering, when did this happen to my hair??????
Seriously?! Look at alllllll that GRAY. Hmph

Me? Observant?
Not really but I saw a lot interesting things this morning.
This morning I saw an elderly gentleman walking...backwards. From the front, he looked like he was just casually strolling along, hands clasped behind his back. But as I got closer I realized he was walking backwards. Hmmmmm.
Also this morning, I got an email from my Mom and she used OMG in it. That cracked me up! I love you Mom.
And when exactly did the sunrise start starting so much later? It's dark when I get up now! Phooey.
There was a Praying Mantis on the roof of my car this morning. It wasn't praying though. It looked more like it had it's dukes up...like this;
I should look around more!

Yikes!
So I'm walking into the house the other day and right before I get to the porch, I look down and see this;
It wasn't really interested in moving until I got the broom out. But before that, I snapped some pretty good photos :-)
Truthfully though, it was only about a foot and a 1/2 long.
We have WAY too much nature around our city house!!!

Indiana State Fair
A couple of you have inquired about us and the State Fair tragedy...I don't like Sugarland that much, so we were at home ~ watching it play out.
Like any hometown tragedy, it was all consuming. Some reports came in that as many as a couple dozen people had been killed. Other reports claimed that Sugarland was on the stage when the rigging collapsed. You know how it goes...Thanks to this modern age of technology, pictures and videos were available within moments. I guess by now everyone has seen the most dramatic video; the stage, the wind blowing, the creepy dark skies beyond, the collapse. It been on the local channels a thousand times. I'm tired of seeing it, it's heartbreaking. And it's worse now, knowing that you're viewing an event at which people were killed. Ugh.
It was a fast moving storm for sure. At our home, the wind really kicked up and it seemed that within minutes the skies were dark as night, lots of lightning and the rain let loose. It rained buckets for about 10 minutes and then it started to die down. It seemed like pretty typical summer storm.
Then the news started coming in. Such a sad sad night. Yesterday and today, there is a lot of focus on the unsung heroes. All those amazing people who barley flinched before they turned around and started to help. The human spirit is truly inspiring at times. Even the Governor, during his press conference was choked up talking about the first responders, nurses, doctors, and mostly the regular folks at the concert who rushed in to help lift the collapsed rigging so rescuers could rush in.
I understand that there are still dozens of people in area hospitals today. Keep them and their families in your prayers.

30?
MTV turns 30.
Let me say it again for you old folks...
MTV is 30 years old.
I didn't grow up with MTV, (which makes me one of the old folks.)
My kids grew up with MTV though. I bet yours did too.
They know all about The Real World, Spring Break and TRL. MTV is just another cable channel now. Their programming is geared toward the under 25 (maybe 30) crowd. And they still do some music videos. Not much though. I mean, if you're like me, when you started watching MTV it was ALL music videos, ALL the time. And not everybody got to watch MTV...you had to have cable TV to get MTV and 30 years ago you didn't have to pay to watch TV. I know, can you believe it! Anyway, it was a big deal when a new video premiered. It was an extra big deal when "Thriller" premiered! Yep, I was glued to my TV when it did. Sometimes I'm just flabbergasted at how quickly things change.
