So, today is my Oma’s birthday -
For some reason, when she was alive, I had trouble with remember her actual birthday-day - I don’t know why - I just always wanted to say that it was the 13th of July rather than the 12th…
Then, she had her surgery - her open heart surgery….and as I stood there holding her wedding rings, I heard her having to repeat the same things over and over to every doctor and nurse: her full name, her birth date…….July 12th (she still said her “th’s” like “f’s” from her German accent…..subtle, but still there)…..
So, now I remember….
maybe because I miss her even more than I thought I could.
…..and I can still hear her sweet voice!
I’m glad she didn’t fully lose her accent - it suited her so!
I love you, Oma….
God Loves Blondes
A blonde finds herself
in serious trouble. Her business has gone bust and she’s in dire
financial straits. She’s so desperate that she decides to ask God for
help. She begins to pray…”God, please help me. I’ve lost my business
and if I don’t get some money, I’m going to lose my house as well.
Please let me win the Lotto.”
Lotto night comes, and somebody
else wins it. She again prays…”God, please let me win the Lotto! I’ve
lost my business, my house and I’m going to lose my car as well.”
Lotto
night comes and she still has no luck. Once again, she prays…”My God,
why have You forsaken me? I’ve lost my business, my house, and my car.
My children are starving. I don’t often ask You for help, and I have
always been a good servant to You. PLEASE let me win the Lotto just
this one time so I can get my life back in order.”
Suddenly
there is a blinding flash of light as the heavens open. The blonde is
overwhelmed by the Voice of God Himself…”Sweetheart, work with Me on
this… Buy a ticket”
Hope you feel the love!
…and here’s a cute one in light of the approaching holidays:
Blondes Getting Christmas Tree
There were two blondes who went deep into the frozen woods searching for a Christmas tree. After hours of subzero temperatures a few close calls with hungry wolves, one blonde turned to the other and said, “I’m
chopping down the next tree I see. I don’t care whether it’s decorated or not!”
Happy Wednesday!
Peace.
…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.

Knowledge is power, after all.
GO GIRL POWER! Read more here…
And please remember to pray for those who are battling cancer.
Pray, work….learn….fight. These are very “girlie” things to do anyway, I think!
So, THINK PINK!

LOVE WINS!
Peace to you all!
