Moments

Yesterday I did a storytime for some preschoolers. As I left, I reminded them to remember their wobble. We had just done a rhyme about a turkey whose head goes wobble, wobble. So I told them bye and some of them yelled back "Bye Mrs. Wobble" : D

I never left a gas station so fast the other night coming home. I left even before putting on my seatbelt. Which is so not me. But a truck had pulled up at the next pumping station. The guy got out and he was the reason I left so fast. Not only was he smoking a cigerette while pumping but the car was on. I thought why not be talking on your cell so you can for sure blow us all up. Craziness.

B and I are heading down state to the house of Mouse for Turkey day. I am looking forward to just kicking back and relaxing. He has never been to any of the Disney theme parks and would like to visit them before we leave Florida. We have a little while on that front.

Good day and Happy Thanksgiving all you turkeys.

I was Electrocuted

Voluntarily I might add. I have been having some numbness in my foot recently and so my doctor scheduled a nerve study. Basically they test both legs by shocking the nerve to test its timing.


Thank goodness I had J and T around for it. T drove us there and back and knew what I was going through. J went in with me and let me hold onto her for support. I don't think I would have made it through but for those two.

I had thought it wouldn't be so painful. Man, was I wrong. Parts of it were tolerable but others... shiver... And the thing about the numbness is that there really isn't any pain : P

LOL I just kept thinking of this thing I had read in a science book when I was younger. It was about this French guy who applied current to frog's leg. Not to a frog just to their legs and how he thought he was bringing them to life because they kept twitching. The thought of "I'm just like that frog" kept popping in my head. Plus J made me laugh with her idea of a cheap version of a Cabbage Patch doll. She wants to call it Baby Coleslaw.

She may have questionable ideas. But she was wonderful yesterday. She even offered to beat the guy up who was causing my pain. Just like we were growing up. I am so lucky to have a great sis.

Good day and J and T rock.!

Yesterday

Yesterday, I told B that I wasn't sure what to write. It had been a really nice day off but we really hadn't done much. So he asked me to write about my wonderful husband.... It's kind of like a love letter the whole world might read : P


B is the man I prayed for. I used to pray to God that I would finally find someone who would get me. I am one strange and crazy person so God sent me B. I love him more than an infinity of words. I love being with him and ye Gods, do we laugh. I love how he loves me even with all my insanity and silliness. One time, I decided to test myself. I tried to imagine how I would feel if he weren't in my life. I felt like someone had ripped my heart out of my chest. Or like I could never smile again. In a way, it surprised me. I had known that I loved him but not realized how intensely. He is the only man I wanted to marry and could see myself with at 90. I think about how I love him all throughout the day. And every morning I receive a hug and a kiss. He is so incredibly smart but he knows how to be silly too. I could write I love you a trillion times and that wouldn't say even a tenth of how much I love my husband. It is still so strange to be man and wife... I am not used to it yet. But a lot of the time it feels just right. In his arms, it feels like home. It is amazing.

Good day and je t'adore Marc!

More Pics

The scariest gift of the night.... Xmas Kitties!
Totally a look of horror on both our faces : D

The Three Stooges

Elise and Mel

Either you pay the fines or we send you to these two....

I am reminded of Job

Everywhere I look are troubles. Everyone is worried. But I see God. And blessings from him.

My sight, my breath, my heart, my husband, my cats, my family, my brains, my reading ability, my humor.....and so much more.

There is so much to be thankful for. Troubles like the stock market go up and down. Sometimes you have lots but sometimes you have less.

I thought to myself yesterday on the drive home that I can not think of a day where I didn't laugh at least once during the day. Of course, on that same drive I screamed aloud too. I was trying out a new stress reliever. LOL It just made me laugh even more : )

Do I have worries and troubles? Who doesn't? But I have faith and God too.

I normally keep it pretty close to heart though. But today, I came into a heated discussion of the country, the troubles and religion.

Good day and why did the duck cross the road?

Once upon a midnight

I had to pay fines today. Now, yes, I still work at a library. Every day pretty much. But somehow in all my doings during the day, I forget to turn in or renew my stuff.

This is why I switched to Netflix. I love my library but Netflix I can keep out for as long as I need to.

There was a big debate about Christmas presents this year. We have in years past just gotten presents for everyone. But this year, the debate was on no presents or presents for just one person. I can see it from both sides. But I love giving gifts. And it isn't a quid pro quo issue. It is a I like to see their expression and see their (hopefully) joy. I don't know but this year we are going with the one gift exchange.

We are a work in progress : D

Good day and Merry freaking Christmas : P

I will do my best to post the all the pics on Flickr. It will be under Evert1222 if you just do a search. There were about six or so more pics beyond these. Plus I will try to get with the other phototags at the party and snag those pics as well. It was a fun night as you can see.

Good day and have a boo-tiful day : P

Photos coming soon

We finally did it. B and I had our very first party at our house. : ) It was so wicked cool.

I have only been planning it for months (or at least it feels like it). But it was great to have everyone here and Halloween rocks. We were Morticia and Gomez. Everyone seemed to have a good time. It lasted until about 11 pm. There were so many people here : )

And his friends came. Major coup for me. I had only met maybe three before that night and all of them were new faces. Oh huzzah!

The only drawback to hosting a party though is I felt like I didn't get to mingle as much. I was trying to make sure that the food stayed plentiful and that everyone had what they needed. I did get to talk with Amy, Greg's wife for a bit. She has a really caring side for a vampire : )" Okay so my vampire smiley needs work. She is a CNA working on her LPN and is currently working in a nursing home.

It was super nice to put names to faces. Now I can finally picture Greg, Warren, and Carl in my head when Mark mentions them. They are his gaming buddies.

It was a great party. One in which our two sides met and survived : P

Good day and there was no fighting for a right to party but someone did bring a lightsaber just in case.
