Very PUNny!

 

Sometimes you just have to laugh.  Happy Weekend, friends.

How Many Years Has It Been?

This weekend a new musical movie comes out.  "Rock of Ages" is based on the Broadway show of the same name...and contains music from Big-Hair 80s bands.  Just my style.

Actually the setting of the movie is 1987.  That is the year that I graduated from high school.  In fact, this week on Facebook, a fellow graduate and friend posted that "25 years ago today we were let loose on the world".  Yikes.  Has it really been that long?!  Twenty-five years ago?  That is crazy.  How did that happen?

I'm hoping to make trip to the movies tomorrow...probably during the cheaper, matinee screening. Man.  Maybe it has really been 25 years.  I sound like an old lady.

If I Had a Money Tree...

 I found myself at Cabela's yesterday where I saw these darling T-shirts.  If I had loads of money I would buy each of these for the Stake YW leaders for Girls' Camp.  They were so cute!

How Fragile We Are....

I got this following post on Facebook this evening...It was posted by a dear family friend I have known for years!  In fact, this family was the first to really light my fuse (pun intended) about "Cul-de-sac of Fire" possibilities!  They are large family who loves to ride dirt bikes, ATVs, and do all sort of fun--together.  This brother, Josh, is probably about 4-5 years younger than I am, and has a lovely wife, and five beautiful daughters.

Your prayers would be appreciated...for Josh, and his family.  They will get through this, like they do everything, TOGETHER.

For everyone concerned with Joshua's accident yesterday this is what he and his wife are willing to share...... Monday morning Josh was on his way to work. He was going west on Turner Rd just outside of Turlock, he was going to make a left on Kelly/Hills Ferry Rd towards Newman. A diesel truck with a trailer full of cows was heading north on Kelly Rd; The truck had a stop sign at the intersection where the 2 roads intersect. Josh did not have a stop sign. The dairy truck ran his stop sign and smashed into Josh crushing his left foot between the bumper of the truck & his bike's (motorcycle) frame, it knocked Josh 20 feet off the road. The impact caused irreparable damage to Josh's left foot. He was taken by a trauma helicopter to Modesto where after a lot of discussion with the Dr. and prayer, we felt that it was in the best interest for Josh and our family if we amputate his left foot. The doctor was concerned with infection and with closing the wound , he wanted to make sure that the skin was still viable to close. He will have a final amputation to mid-shin. This is what we have been told is the best place for prosthetic. We are told that he will be back to normal within 3-6 months. Your prayers and thoughts for Josh and our family are much appreciated. Josh has enjoyed me reading the posts messages, and texts. He has been touched by the outpouring of love and support from his friends and family.

 

Take care of yourselves and everyone you love.  You just never know what the day may hold.

Over The Edge

I think today was it.  I have lost it.  And I snapped at Genius Golfer for it.  That makes me feel worse.  But the nugget of truth was still there--just the delivery wasn't ideal.

I get it that I am not a cook.  I don't enjoy it and find no pleasure in it other than I CAN keep my family alive.  But I tend to implement the "quick and dirty" method to a weekly menu and dinner each night.

GG has a different level of expectation.  Which, if you think about the fact that we've been married for 20 years now, it is a little late to come into the conversation.  So he is making the spaghetti sauce tonight.  And I'll probably eat all the "cheap" tasting guacamole this week by myself.  And if he wants the garlic bread sliced a different way, I suppose he'll do that too.

I am just glad that I can do a decent load of laundry.  Otherwise, I might not earn my keep around here.


Yes, I am frustrated.  Yes, I am feeling tired.  Yes, I am over-reacting.  Yes, it is probably hormonal. And Yes, I'll probably have to apologize, again.  But sometimes it would be nice to hear how great I am all the things I do accomplish.  I heard that kind of positive feedback from our water aerobics instructor this morning and it made me feel so good about myself.   I just wish I heard a little more of that at home.
