What was I thinking?!

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vw5Vcnjv5Bo&hl=en&fs=1]

This is what I was listening to in 1983…I’m still looking for a picture of me during that time.  Until I find one, just check out Bonnie Tyler’s hair and makeup…it’s pretty stinkin’ close!  Wow!  Actually, I think I wore a whole lot more than she’s wearing in this “live” video - you’d have to watch the original video to really get an idea of how much makeup I wore back then…especially eye makeup!

That whole decade was like my own personal freak show….

Anyway, just going down memory lane a little bit…if I find a pic I’ll put it up and give you all some comic relief!

Peace out.

it’s late…but, i’ve been in bed all day - so does it really matter - anyway i’m just now feeling up to writing…not that i have anything profound to say.

i don’t know if i caught a 24 hour virus or ate some bad chinese takeout…but, either way i’ve been sick all day.  i didn’t even drink my coffee this morning - and byron got me “wally’s special” barnie’s biscotti, too.  that’s when he knew i was not faking it (not that i’ve ever exaggerated…).

so, it was a long day.

and - just as a point of advice - if you become bed-ridden and decide to watch a program that you dvr‘d or tivo‘d at an earlier time…let’s say like DURING A TROPICAL STORM WITH TORNADO WATCHES POSTED, you may want to remember that fact before you freak out in the middle of an episode of “frasier” and start throwing junk out of your storage closet…but then feel too sick to “take cover” so you crawl back into bed and tell the tornado, “bring it on!“, and you don’t realize that it was a recorded warning until 2 episodes later, but by that point you’re praying for the sweet relief of death anyway…

…just a friendly bit of advice.

so, it’s been a difficult day - for a variety of reasons.  i was reading the psalms earlier…then, for some reason i began reading job.  it wasn’t very encouraging - but, i guess that’s not the point of that particular book of the bible.

anyway…tomorrow’s a new day, so hopefully it will be here soon.  i think i’ve had enough of this one….

it’s going to be “happy wednesday”, after all, and those are always lovely…right?

peace.

what happened…

…to the remains of the day?

i used to write on sunday evenings…thoughts on the day.  deep thoughts - like these.

what’s happened to me?  i wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that i think i bruised my brain this week in a freak “storage closet cleaning” accident….

or maybe the glitter is dumbing-down my thought process.

now all i have to say - in the remains of the day - is:

i love my church.

i love seeing my kids worship God.

i love makeup on sunday morning.

i love scrubbing my face on sunday night.

i love cinnamon crunch bagels…a lot.

i love when the room finally stops spinning - after eating “said bagels” and then standing under hot lights - …….but at least the colors are pretty and wavy…….

i love the fact that i can’t open my eyes while riding on the harley if we’re on a “big road”.

i love that my little sister’s boyfriend wore an “i love detroit” t-shirt to church this morning…and he fit right in! :-)

i love not having to be pretty on monday…

that’s it.  that’s all i have….maybe someday the profundity will return.

maybe.

p.s.:  just to illustrate what i’m talking about, i will tell you what i said to kayleigh friday night….my profound parental advice about being safe in this “tropical storm” weather:

Kayleigh:  “Mom, we’re going over to see some friends….”

Me:  “Okay, but you be careful because there are places on the ground with water”.

Kayleigh:  “What?!

Me:  “Umm….yeah, no - I’m sticking with what I said because I know what I meant!”

SEE!?!

maybe i should cut back on the glitter…and wear a helmet when i’m cleaning……

maybe.

peace.

Happy 40th!

Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad! :-)  40 years!  That’s amazing…

…thanks for loving me so much - and for loving each other so well all these years!

I love you both!  Have a happy, happy day!

Love, me.
