What's On My Mind

I am a facebooker. I enjoy it - the camaraderie, the community of all my friends, old and new all connected, sharing the ups and downs of each others days.

One of the most fun things about the site is the Status Updates. For those of you who do not know facebookese (yes, I just made that word up!) a status update is a block on the profile that simply asks "What's On Your Mind?" It then gives you space to say whatever is on your mind at the time. I update quite frequently, just random thoughts throughout the day. Most of my friends do the same...we also mark events, comment on tv shows, let out our frustrations...it is random and it is interesting to see what my friends are thinking and doing at any given time of the day.

So, in the spirit of facebook, here are just some random thoughts that are passing through my head. Hold on...sometimes the ride through my mind is a bit bumpy (as if you didn't know that already!!!)

- Why does the nail polish on my toes last FOREVER, when the same polish put on my fingers lasts about half and hour?

- I really want Danny Gokey to win American Idol...although Kris kinda blew me away the other night with his acoustic set...and for Heaven's sake...what has happened to KC (of the Sunshine Band????)

- Lorena Bobbitt is on Oprah...she is famous for ....will, if you don't know - look it up. Crazily enough, in 1995 I met her "severed" ex-husband at a medical trade show in Las Vegas. He was wearing a floor-length fur coat and had two "lovely ladies" by his side. Anyone a fan of Good Times...think (Caucasian) Sweet Daddy!

- I have two cookie jars - and not a cookie in this house.

- Peaches are creepy fruit to me... I don't really like them. The fuzz, that big pit, jut not worth all the trouble. Unless they are in a cobbler and covered with gooey stuff!

-I am in the midst of writing my first book...no, really, I have said that before - but this time it is true... I have actual work this time, a plot and even a few chapters!

-I am quite certain that having typed the above statement my writing muse will leave the building and I will be once again - blocked, blocked, blocked!!! Oh well, it was fun while it lasted!

- My daughter has spent all day at the rodeo...she has stated that she wants to grow up and be a cowgirl...I am a little scared she may have become one today and might not return home at all.

-We have lived in our house for 10 years. So far this year our fridge and tv have both needed repair. I am waiting on the rest of the appliances to slowly wind down, one by one!!

-For those of you who have been reading awhile, I still use Mentholatum under my eyes to relieve the allergy and sinus issues (that is a pleasant way of saying "I am old and have bags you could pack a closet under my eyes each morning!!") ---- it still works!!

- Summer is almost here and I need to find us somewhere to go for at least a "mini" vacation. I have beach fever!

I have almost burnt the garlic bread....and that would be more tragic than I have words to describe. I am turning off the randomness....

Living Happily In the Moment!
