Monday

I'll take it....


You Are Peaceful



You are a supportive and caring person. You pride yourself on being there for people.

You are a good listener. Friends and family know that they can pour their hearts out to you.



You are consistent and stable. You never change just for the sake of changing.

You believe in being both compassionate and forgiving. Second chances are important.



And I am taking some time to remember Dr. Martin Luther King's non violent activism today. Now more than ever.

Happy Friday

Apparently I'll be flinging birds at pigs all weekend...
What are your plans?

This-n-That Thursday

Dora takes over:
Yesterday, we had a snow day.
My mommy stayed home from work.
I was so happy to have her all day.
It was my job to exorcise exercise her.
I had to wait for her on the bridge.
She is so old and slow cautious.
Do you like my rabbit imitation?
I love snow.
Here I am waiting for the panting mess my mommy.
And this business up above?
Is my mommy's new addiction mind expander.
It's called Angry Birds.
It makes silly noises.
My mommy had to take an Advil after playing so much.
Because her thumb was sore.
But you didn't hear that from me.
I don't know anything.
I'm a dog...so they tell me.
Okay.
It's time to go back home.
I think there may be a biscuit there.
And a fluffy place to lie down.
And I'm sure my mommy had enough exercise.
Plus, there are always Angry Birds to keep her occupied.
I think it will be okay if her office is open today.
It's a lot of work taking care of her...

Snow. Day.


This is a 30" flower pot!

Tuesday Text: Parentexting™

My daughter has been home for a month.
All of our conversations continue to take place this way:

Google it! Such sage advice...
We actually talked live and in person during lunch.
And this?
All I did was ask a few questions about a babysitting gig.
And I got this person with an interesting dialogue...
Seriously.
It's a good thing I speak Tennessee.
Otherwise, she might think she is special.

Finally!

I ask any Aquarian out there, or anyone who knows one, to read this horoscope and tell me this is not the quintessential Water Bearer:

Aquarius - Jan. 10, 2011


You may feel idealistic today, Aquarius. This is fine, but make sure these ideals are rooted in reality or they may be nothing more than a pipe dream. Feel free to escape to another mindset, but make sure you can still discern what's real and what isn't. This is a formative time for you in which you realize that the conventional ways of doing things aren't working anymore. Spread the word.

I just love it when there is documentation out there that explains me to me...better than a therapist. What's yours say?

Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening


Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
~Robert Frost
