NOT ME MONDAY.....

it's that time again....

i DID NOT leave the house

this morning to actually buy a

new refridgerator

cause ours is leaking and on the fritz

and NOT take any measurements

just like a silly girl!

wasn't me, i'm as prepared

as a boyscout!

i DID NOT actually ration out

a limited amount of no-bake cookies

to give my friend after being

stuck with a butt-load

after our picnic getting rained

out saturday,

and having ate them for 2 days now,

just cause i couldn't bare

the idea of them being gone!!!

wasn't me,

my 25th class reunion

is in ten days and i'm watching

what i eat!

and finally,

i am NOT at all excited

or enthrauled with another

sappy season finale of

'the bachelorette'

again!

i, of course, am

savy enough to realize

they're all pretty much

the same and so far they're

batting average for longevity

is pathetic!!!

HAPPY MONDAY ALL!!!

sunday citar.....the force!

"The force is what gives a Jedi his power.

It's an energy field created by all living things.

It surrounds us and penetrates us.

It binds the galaxy together."

Obi Wan Kenobi (aka Alec Guinness)

sounds a lot like LOVE to me!

wordless wednesday......life's a beach!

not me monday......

i DID NOT take all day to put the

laundry away....

nope, i'm a go-getter at housework!

i DID NOT continuously get

caught up in old reruns of

america's next top model

all day that i've already

seen dozens of times...

i have much better things

to do than watch reality tv!

(laughin my way thru this one,

i'm a reality junkie, sue me!)

i DID NOT chose a healthy, low-cal

frozen dinner to eat and then add

cottage cheese and a banana

to my meal cause i was

still hungry...

i'm a dainty little eater!

(insert chuckle here as well!)

and finally,

i DID NOT make a run at

7pm at night to the grocery store

cause my adorable son

wanted what he calls

'pieces of bread'....

i'm too hard-hearted

to fall for that one!

sunday citar......FESTIVALS!!!

it all began with a parade....

with characters...

our neighbors with their karate troop...

and lots of loud fire trucks and engines...

and don't forget the ponies...

then top it off with lots of bouncing!!!

"LIFE IS A FESTIVAL ONLY TO THE WISE."

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Think about it Thursday.....Love Languages!

i recently heard a GREAT message

by one of my favorite people....

Joyce Meyer!

she was telling how if we REALLY

love someone, we strive to love them

in the way THEY need to be loved....

another words,

"their LOVE LANGUAGE."

for asher,

it's applause and encouragement!

such as when he's having

fun at the park...

or the work he does....

or the things he makes...



for my mom,
it's as simple as making her a
plate of her favorite food...
french toast!


i encourage you today to just
SLOW DOWN
for a minute or two,
and take a close look at those
around you that you love,
and think about what
THEIR love language is
and what really speaks to them!

whatever happened to "not me mondays?"

a few of my blogger friends used

to post

'not me mondays,'

and i always loved them.....

so here's my version...

i DID NOT sit on my keester sipping

coffee til 11am when i had so much to do....

nope, it wasn't me!

i DID NOT set an open ziplock baggie

of marinating tomatoes on the

counter only to have it spill all

over my floor...

that DEFINATELY wasn't me,

i'm not that dense!

i DID NOT take my son

to his favorite park and get

so involved that i forgot

to feed him lunch....

that SURELY wasn't me,

i'm a good mamma!

and finally...

i DID NOT accidentally take a mans

spot in line to pump gas at a busy

gas station only to have him actually

get out of his car, come right up to me,

call me a liar and ignorant, while i

threatened to call the police if he

didn't leave me alone,

all while he claimed to be a police officer,

and end up crying in the grocery

store parking lot over it a

few minutes later...

that COULDN'T have been me,

i'm a toughie!
