I won’t bore you with the details of the past…year? WOW. I guess it’s been a looooong while. we’ll just call it a much needed, though highly unplanned sabbatical.
Wait. What? You’re supposed to get paid for those? Why didn’t anybody tell me??? What’s up with that!
Oh…you caught the encarta thing huh? Old habits die hard I guess.
Now that I’m looking at that saying it seems a little…odd. But I’m gonna let it go for now. (Lucky you.)
I’m going to go and try to catch up. I have a feeling I’ve missed alot.
- I have missed you SO MUCH! Are ya gonna make a comeback? WOOHOOO! ((((HUGS))))) sandi~short message due to pain, but I love ya too much to be silent! LOL!
- I was so happy to see you’d left me a comment! Welcome back to the blogoshere!

Melanie Faith said… - wow, it’s great to have you back again!
just in case you were sitting there … wondering
- I’ve never been out of the south.
- I dream about living up north.
- And I’ve almost convinced myself that I want to.
- But I could never ~ actually ~ live ~ there.
- Because, come on!
- I live in Florida.
- And ~ trust me ~ Fla’s SO not *all that.
- But it would be really really cold up north in the winter.
- And well… I’m a total wimp.
- And under 72 degrees is just not the way I roll.
- Yes I said 72.
- Actually it’s more like 72.5
- But really.
- Did you want me to be all anal about it?
- That’s why I said 72.
- Do you think I could get *rich if I invented a little degrees icon button to go on your keyboard.
- It would be so much more efficient.
- Talk about being efficient.
- I just used 27 words.
- To say absolutely nothing.
- What is wrong with me???
- I Know.
- MAKE IT STOP.
- Do you know what I like about up north?
- They’ve got amish people there.
- And dude.
- Amish people just rock.
- As Brittany is obsessed with all things asian. And shiny.
- That is, Asian.
- And shiny.
- Not to be confused with asian & shiny.
- Or shiny asians.
- Although, that would be her 2 favorite things rolled into one.
- It would be much more efficient.
- Go back & read # 28 again.
- So I am fascinated by all things amish.
- If you’re wondering why I sent you to look up efficient,
- it’s not because I think you’re a loser who doesn’t know what efficient means.
- It’s because I had a brain freeze & looked it up.
- And still spelled it wrong.
- 3 times.
- It’s not my fault.
- Blame it on the childrens benadryl.
- I cannot hang.
- That stuff is kicking my bootay.
- If you followed the bootay link,
- please mentally bleep out any & all words or images that may offend you.
- And remember,
- I didn’t make up the definition.
- But it’s in the dictionary.
- And that makes it truthiness.
- Again, truthiness ~ not to be confused with the truth.
- I’m just doin my job.
- Or my self appointed *pretend job.
- Which means I better go to bed.
- Because it’s like, after 3 am.
- And my real job will be starting when the rooster crows.
- I mean that.
- Literally.
- Our neighbor actually owns a rooster.
- Who crows.
- Every morning.
- And wakes my children up.
- Every morning.
- Have mentioned that I can’t wait to move?
- He has no respect for the weekend.
- Or the fact that poor me is doped up on benadryl & still awake.
- Because the biggest Thing of them all isn’t here.
- And I just can’t sleep alone.
- No matter how much he annoys me.
- Or steals my pillows.
- Or snores …LOUDLY.
- It’s okay baby.
- I love you anyway.
- I just found you by way of Kristie’s “Not Quite What I Had Planned” and, from this post, I can tell I’m going to have to go back and read the WHOLE thing.
I am from Minnesota. And we have Amish people here. Yes, it’s way cool. I’ve never been to Florida, but love San Diego. Humidity is not my friend
. Oh, and especially for Brittany we also have shiny Asians here. And also a few that aren’t shiny ! And four seasons, too. THAT really rocks.I can’t wait to read more…
- OK So I’m still trying to figure out what the Amish have to do with shiny Asians ….
Diane - I know what you mean about not sleeping while hubby is away. Even though he doesn’t like to *snuggle* while sleeping it’s still hard for me to sleep while he’s gone. I’ll have to get over that before he leaves for 15 months or it will be scary for everyone left here. Everyone, other people out driving, anyone I have to come in contact with and my kids. I love your lists, though when they get posted the numbers don’t show up. And the rooster – that’s just classic. The only thing more annoying than a rooster in the morning is a peacock in the morning. Have you ever heard one of those? They sound like cats in pain or crying children – scary when you wake up at gramma’s house & have no idea what is going on outside.
- I don’t know where my numbers go. They are there when I am posting, but disappear when I publish. There must be a number thief somewhere. Or a list hater. Or maybe the list hater IS the number thief.
- LOL! Uhmmm… maybe you need to lay off the benadryl chica! Benadryl knocks me out, but apparently it just does weird things to you?
Stupid roosters!
- I think you are onto something there. I’ve heard that thieves who don’t like lists usually don’t like numbers either. I don’t know if that makes any sense but ya. Maybe its some number stealing list hating virus…
- that’s gotta be it. indeezy. number steain list hatin virus… we’re onto you now.
- Anytime you want to come North, you can crash here…I’ll even take you to see some Amish ;0)
- The number trolls. They go around to blogs and steal numbers from lists.
I’d gladly trade some Amishness from around these parts for some 72° Florida livin’.
Did you see that? A degree symbol. Woohoo!
- number trolls huh? I’ll be lookin out for those little thieves…
& WHERE did you find that degree symbol? Just so you know, I’m holding you personally responsible for my million~less future.
- Diane ~ I have no clue how those 2 things are related. Chalk it up to the druggggs????
- In html, you can make a degree symbol by typing the ampersand (&) followed by “deg;”.
Of course, if I try to type it out here to show you, it will just make a °
- Those must be some good drugggggs. And I thought I had a good life–HA! I was all excited about getting the instructions for the degree symbol but, of course, it hasn’t worked for me. Figures. HA!
- <&”deg;”> I still need a button. KIM still needs a button. Atleast I know someone will buy my million $$$ invention
- If you lived amongst the Amish there would be MORE THAN ONE rooster crowing in the morning! Wow, there are roosters in FLA?
- Omg . Heather … this is why i love you ! You crack me up . I feel special you added me … i do love shiny things … and asians …though some asians are shiny … so they are my favorite :]
Here i am again up late reading your blog cause i missed reading it a couple times … but i love you anyways :]
- I grew up in Northern Minnesota, NEGATIVE 20 DEGREES, now does that sound like fun to you or what.
I like living in Palm Beach a little better.
Get well.
Mark - Nice! I just like the poem that you have just written.
- I’ll just leave that -20 to someone else thank you very much.
YES apparently there ARE roosters in Fla. Or atleast my neighbor thinks they belong here.
As a wise woman (not me either) once said “Stupid roosters!”
Here is a little glimpse of how my mind works. For better or for worse. (Probably more worse than better. ) I’m not sure exactly why I am telling you this. It’s not a great mystery or anything. There’s no new Theory of Relativity hiding out in there . Just in case you were thinking that maybe there was.
I was sitting here, trying to write my last post. It takes concentration ya know, I have to entertain my readership of 100’s. Ok really it’s 1’s. 1 to be exact, But 100’s sounds much better dont’cha think? So, if it’s ok with you, we’ll just stick with that.
I found a link to this blog in another blog I like to read. The post caught my attention. You might want to read it at naptime. It’s a post that moms can relate to, not children:) I wanted to say something to her. So I started to leave a comment and I used the word PONDER. And then I looked at the word. And I thought, that’s a cheesy word. It doesn’t express exactly what I want to say. So I looked it up. I don’t know why, I just did.
I remembered how useful MSN Encarta is. They gave me 12 other options to use instead. I say ‘they’ like there is somebody out there on the other side of that site, just waiting to think up synonyms for me to use. That would be cool though. Well, maybe not so much for them. There were 2 articles listed. One was something about Ponder Heart (a book apparently, just in case you are dying to know), and the other was Kentucky Derby Winners. WHY would that come up under ponder? Is someone out there pondering Kentucky Derby Winners. Do I really care?
Aaaand I totally forgot to leave the comment! So much for my Bloggy Etiquette Award.
- I had that same ‘huh?’ when I saw Kentucky Derby winner come up. (I clicked on the link you had for ponder). RSM is definitely not G rated but relatable. (Blogger didn’t know that was a word but MSN confirmed it was for me). She’s got a life of hurts that she’s come out of, or coming out of I guess. But she loves her husband and kids. When I came across her site ‘blog evangelism’ came to mind. Oh and thanks for the link to my blog, I am honored.
- that msn comes in handy:) i agree. what i realized while reading through her blog was that our outward expressions may be completely opposite, but all moms have the same basic doubts and fears.
They said WHAT?
