Recipe for a lousy night of attempted sleep: take one gigantic housefly, buzzing at the volume of a 747. Add three enthusiastic, but utterly inept feline bug hunters. Result: after eight hours of attempting to sleep through the fly's buzzing, the stampede of pursuing cats, and very, very loud, "ICK, ICK, ICK!!!" noises from Persephone in stalking mode with the occasional bang of a cat running into something...I finally got up. Today's mission: run my errands...and outsmart that damned fly! I know it's cold out...but my required amount of sleep is more important than giving the bug a home. By a unanimous vote of four to zero, this fly has been evicted from the household. Have an awesome Thursday! Votes are in!
Thursday is the Irish day to send wisdom to your friends so here it is just for you: Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny. Vote is in!
Thank GOODNESS the Iowa caucus is over! I was so tired of hearing about it ad nauseum. But that is just the beginning of 10 months of politics we are going to have to listen to.
Wishing you the best on this Wednesday with this thought: You don’t have to fear defeat if you believe it may reveal powers that you didn’t know you possessed. Now go get it! Your vote is in!
There's no place like home after a long holiday. Happy 2012 to you all! I thought it might be fun to share the, "best quote 2011," my family provided this year. After every holiday, the writers in my family hand out funny awards to family members in the aftermath. We have lots of categories, one of mine being the best holiday quote. My award goes to my Aunt Debby. "My deluded friend and I were talking a couple of weeks before Christmas. She told me this time of year makes her remember her family's tree, sledding, and she can't get White Christmas out of her head. I laughed, and told her that was funny...because, and this time of year, I can't get the Barnum and Bailey's circus theme out of my head, and am filled with the urge to prove that an overweight 59 year old woman could outrun the superhuman Kenyans in an Olympic sprint. Just say, "family time!" It's great to be back. I hope you all had an amazing, blessed, and safe holiday. I love my family, but I'm glad to be home...back to peace, quiet, and even a callback to a casting! Friendship, love, and best wishes as 2012 begins!
