Ack! Nobody knows why "The Skinny" is at the bottom of the blog. I will continue when I figure it out.

According to Big Ben it's Dada's Birthday

Happy Birthday to a jolly good fellow.

time to ketchup on lists

ever look at a word or name long enough...

and it eventually doesn't look like it could possibly be anything? Today I was looking at the name "Hillary" and it happened, huh.

this one didn't want to spell out the "b" word...

this is one of many more to come

back to blogging tomorrow (I think)...

Saw it, loved it, will see it again and again...

Ugh

I finally got to uploading photos, etc. so here it goes...LOL, this is when blogging becomes a burden!

The sale was fine, there will be another one in August. Moron that at another time.

I'm going to be tackling three books at a time each week. I'm calling it the RPM reading plan: Reading, Perusing, Mulling. I think my knack for stupid acronyms is about all I've retained from my time in "the office".

So here are the selections for the week of June 1st:




What's that? A list? A note? It's a special Mother's Day inscription from Tami to Sarah. It's written inside "You're Not the Boss of Me" (click to see what it says, it's a royal stroke-fest). Some would find that to be an irritant but I find it to be one of the many benefits of shopping at Goodwill (moron that later).

posting to be continued...

away from blogging

I am getting ready for my second annual garage (grog) sale. Posting on this blog, if any, will be at a minimum for well over a week. Good luck.

signs, overhead and overheard

signs from last weekend The second one is an eagle at the Komen walk...Overheard: "it's a sign."

it doesn't get much funnier

"Stuff White People Like"is the ultimate blog. He's on #99 (as of yesterday) and while I don't know much about some of the things he mentions, I can relate and nod my head about most. I think #9 is my favorite. Too funny. Thanks to Co for showing me that one. Link is on the left.

I used to listen to public radio a lot. I rarely take the time to listen anymore so thankfully This American Life has a podcast and now on Showtime. The "Ask an Iraqi" segment on TV prompted me to mention Ira (almost 50, what?).

some of our renditions are better than some of our other renditions

If you don't have the time to hear Marvin or Whitney, at least give Hillary a listen...It's the good stuff.

Mother's Day was very nice. We walked for the cure, had a nice lunch, walked through Underwater Adventure twice, went to historic Kelley Farm & then out for a couple plates of cheap but good Chinese buffet (suspend your disbelief, if you will, as the six year olds are restocking the salad bar).

Happy Mother's Day

Women's Liberation is just a lot of foolishness. It's the men who are discriminated against. They can't bear children. And no one's likely to do anything about that. ~Golda Meir
