Do you really want to ask, "How are you today?"

Well today was one of those days when I ask myself are you okay? It is the feeling of not knowing are you sad or happy or kinda in the middle? I feel that the water running over my feet is getting on my pants and I hate that...I have the feeling that the sun feels really nice on my skin, but then I think I am burning...It is the thought of I just washed my car...so I sure a rain shower will pop up! One of those o so great Wednesdays I guess.

I think today would be a good day for someone to come up to me and ask, "How are you doing?" I think I would just tell them to pull up a chair...or maybe just run the other way :) I don't know what would be best...well I do for them RUN!

It isn't that my life it terrible - I am blessed in so many ways maybe I just need to list some...

I Love God
I am married to someone who loves me and I share the same feelings for him.
My mom and dad are great - wouldn't trade them for ANYONE!
I have a GREAT family - I know that I can count on them...
I may not have any brother or sisters but I have aunts uncles and cousins! you know who you are!!!
I have a cat named Cleo and a pig named Guine - that are very sweet-can't put a $ on them.
My heart is still beating.
I have my 5 senses.
I have a nice house to live in that Rodney and I own
I have a car to drive...it's not paid for but I can make the payments
I have the $ to buy flowers and enjoy my flower beds...
I have a job
Rodney has a job
Neither of us are careless with money - that is a great thing - no fusses
We have food to eat
We have too many cloths
I have a bed to sleep in

This list could go on, but I don't want to bore the few people who actually read this...Althought this might be something good for other to do write down what is good in their life - It makes you quit feeling sorry for yourself - well it did me...I think maybe I am just ready to be home in my own home...I am house sitting this week so I have been pretty much by myself the last couple of day...Rodney will have a basketcase coming home to him tomorrow :)

"This will improve your life" Well that is what the other blogger said?

Questions #1

What is the strangest thing you carry in your wallet or purse?

I will go ahead and answer this...

For me it is a dollar bill with a pink bandade wrapped around it...I bet you are asking why? Well probably 6 years ago (maybe longer, I'm not good with dates) my papaw was put in the hospital with some problems with his heart...and some how he ended up with this dollar taped to his bed rail with this lovely pink bandade...and well he gave it to me when he got out and I have kept it with me ever since and I have no intentions of taking it out :)

Movie on Lifetime

I watched a good movie last night on Lifetime...I am not big on setting down and staying there for an entire movie but this one had me...I can't remember the name of it though??? (sounds about right) Anyway it was about a girl that found love and then the man was taken away by fire...then she met someone else and she fell in love with him...then he was taken away by a bomb and was burned pretty bad...Then the 3rd guys well you just need to watch the movie...

It just made me think about everything and that there are people in our lives that we don't even relize are there. In this movie it was someone from her past that was doing everything he could so she wasn't happy...

Of course, I watched this movie and then dreamed about it, so needless to say I was chased all night :)

2am - blah blah

Well here I am awake at 2 in the morning...if you know me this isn't normal!! I was sick yesterday and stayed on the couch...well I did get up and go to church thinking I might get to feeling better and I didn't...so I came back home and laid down...I took some sinus medicine and now I can't sleep!!! So this is a great time to update me blog :)

On Thursday of last week ETHAL, a dog that is in the office were I work, had to be put down...very sad day She had heart failure and just wasn't doing good at all. So now there is only one dog, Skipper, and one cat, tabby, at work...Not over a year ago TOSHA had to be put down...she had cancer and was really in bad shape (she was a rotweiler) Anyway...

On Saturday the 12th there was another benefit for my cousin, STACEY who has cancer...It was a busy day, there was a huge yard sale, and bake sale, silent auction, and bingo - lots of music and food!!! It went over very well and made a bunch of money for the family!! Please keep this family in your prayers every night!

Having something like this happen to a close family member is really a eye opener...It just shows what you hear everyday you don't know what tomorrow will bring and you can count on having another day. It makes you realize how blessed you really are and your problems that you moan and carry on about really doesn't matter!! Now I relize that when I say, "It can wait til tomorrow" I have a second thougt about if it really can...

Pretty Good I'd Say...

THE BEST COMEBACK LINE EVER!
Marine Corps General Reinwald was interviewed on the Radio the other day and you'll love his reply to the lady who Interviewed him concerning guns and children. Regardless of how you feel about gun laws you gotta love this!!!! This is one of the best comeback lines of all time. It is a portion of a National Public Radio (NPR) interview, which is a nationally funded, Between a female broadcaster and US Marine Corps General Reinwald who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting His military installation.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: So, General Reinwald, what things are you going to teach these young boys when they visit your base?
GENERAL REINWALD: We're going to teach them climbing,canoeing,archery,and shooting.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible,isn't it?
GENERAL REINWALD: I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the rifle range.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?
GENERAL REINWALD: I don't see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: But you're equipping them to become violent killers.
GENERAL REINWALD: Well, ma'am, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you?

The radio went silent and the interview ended. You gotta love the Marines! AMERICA , THE HOME OF THE FREE BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE!!!
