When you don’t know what to blog….

…maybe you should just post another BLONDE JOKE!

Q: A one armed blonde is hanging from a tree. How can you make her fall?
A: You wave at her!

Hey, that one’s kind of mean….but, at least that blonde is friendly!! :-)

But, I’ll give this joke thing “another chance”:

“Another Chance”:

One day a big group of blondes met in New York to show the world that blondes aren’t dumb.
They begged: “Ask any of us any question, and we will show you that we’re not dumb.”

The group caught the attention of a passer by, who volunteered to ask them some questions. He climbed up on a car and randomly picked a blonde out of the crowd.
She got up on the car too and the man asked: “What is the first month of the year?”
The blonde responded: “November?”

“Nope,” said the man. At this point the crowd began to chant, “Give her another chance, give her another chance.”

So the man asked: “What is the capital of the U.S.A ?”
The blonde responded: “Paris?”
So the crowd began chanting again: “Give her another chance, give her another chance.”

The man said: “Okay, but this is the last one. What is one plus one?”
The blonde replied: “Two?”

“Give her another chance, Give her another chance.” screamed the crowd.

See, we blondes are a friendly and generous bunch! :-)

Have a great evening….

Peace.

Random Thing About Me #1…

…would have to be:

1).  I am frequently given to giving in to “peer pressure”….apparently!!

So, some of my dear friends Amanda and Alison have recently written posts entitled “Random Things About Me” - and I want, so badly, to be like them :-) .  Of course, upon further reflection, I realized that almost all of my posts could be titled “Random Things About Me”….so I’m thinking it may be redundant - but, here goes:

  • I am a complete chameleon, so even the “normal” things about me can seem completely random.
  • I frequently complicate the most mundane of thoughts by using large words…that I may or may not be sure of their proper meaning and/or context…but, I digress…
  • I frequently digress…and am easily distracted (have been known to be deep into a discussion and forget my point because the sky just looks too pretty)!
  • I love watching the sky, am a huge fan of lightening…although I will lecture everyone around me of the dangers of said lightening…especially in Central Florida.
  • I frequently lecture those around me with random tid-bits of knowledge that I have gathered…things that I shouldn’t even know, but do somehow - I’m very “Cliff Claven-ish” in that respect.
  • I love to watch shows that have been out of prime-time for years (hence my reference to Cliff Claven), then I will watch every episode in order…in perfect OCD fashion.
  • “The Office” is probably the only prime-time show I watch every week as it comes on.
  • I watched the British version of “The Office” before it ever came to the U.S. - it’s a little racy, though…so I prefer the American version.
  • I love British humor…and British murder mysteries…….and tea!
  • I love blogging….and my MacBook with the zebra skin….but, get very depressed when my “blog stats” aren’t good.
  • I’m very sensitive…most people don’t know this about me - I guess I hide it…or maybe I just get distracted by something random (like a pretty sky) and forget that someone has hurt my feelings……
  • Loyalty is the most important quality, to me, in a friend - that and adaptability…well, because who I am can change so frequently, you have to be on your toes to love me anyway.
  • I love my friends….and frequently give in to their peer pressure….

…hence, this post! :-)

So, there you go and there you are!

Peace to the out!

(Oh yeah, also:  I despise getting my hair cut since they frequently cut it all off even though I beg to the contrary!  I got my hair cut this morning…I think I’ll leave you all hanging as to the result! :-) ).

Peace.

And I am unanimous in that!

So, maybe I’ll just type until something comes to me.

I feel words rolling around in my head, but I’m not sure what to do with them yet. This is nothing new, of course - I have a real love/hate relationship with all the words in my head…and how they “roll around”…

…they always affect me, and often make me crazy! But, this is sounding a little like the introduction to some kind of support group (”Hello, my name is Angie, and I have these words in my head…rolling around…“).

I have found that days like this may not be the best time for me to express myself. I have a tendency to make rash and sweeping statements which - on saner days - will make me cringe….

So, let me just go on record saying, “I have no comment!” I feel nothing about any mildly and/or extremely polarizing issues regarding politics, leadership, economics, socialism vs. free-enterprise, the stock market, the housing market, gas prices, who Hugh Heffner moves into his mansion…and what color her hair is,…bull vs. bear, elephant vs. donkey, race vs. gender, Calvinism vs. Arminianism, traditional vs. contemporary ………..worship wars, holy wars…and/or whether it should be legal for someone to wear their pajamas to the grocery store…..!!!!!!! …but I digress.

In summary, I am having a peaceful Thursday in which none of the aforementioned issues and/or topics will ever occupy my mind….

….or roll around.

In any form or fashion.

And I am unanimous in that!

Peace! (Wait, is that rash and sweeping….no)… Yeah, peace!!

Happy Blogaversary…oh yeah, and goodbye Starbucks!

oh yeah, so i’ve now been officially blogging for one year.

woo-hoo!…ow! that makes my head hurt. so does thinking…and now since my new favorite thing to ponder is compound interest, my head is killing me. but, on the up-side: if i just invest my “starbucks” money in a low risk mutual fund for the next forty years, i could accrue over a million dollars…

…that could buy a whole lot of headache medicine - and fund a village in Africa…and open a Dream Center…and adopt some orphans…and - wow this headache is a doozy. maybe if i just dream about all of this it won’t hurt my head so much.

the baptisms went great! it’s been fun to have people in our home so much lately.

anyway, now i’m going to try to sleep off my shenanigans from this morning…and dream of accruing interest and mutual funds and…

…well, of finding my little shopping cart girl and taking her to get ice cream and every pair of shoes we can find that she likes…and dreams like that.

okay, so the thought of that has just ended my starbucks addiction…cold turkey. i’m completely serious - every time i want to buy another over-priced latte, i’ll just imagine her face…

i have to go now…it’s bad enough to try to type with a doozy of a headache, but now i have serious planning to do, all while becoming ever-more emotional…hey, i’m a drama queen! it’s what i do! :-)
so, all-in-all, it’s been a pretty good…but interesting, day.

and now off to dream.

peace to you…
