Just Call me Qui-Gon Jinn!

Ok, I got this from John's posting & thought I'd try it out! Ha!

Look at my top 3! That is just too funny! Well think of the title of my journal! HA!

It is so funny that they always tell you to focus more on the "here & now" and this says I do it too much! HA! Well I am a child of the '60s so what do you want! :-)

Want some Stewed Monkey Heads?

Well I don't think I ever told you, but I LOVE Calvin & Hobbes. (Click the pix or the link to see the full scene.) Does that explain anything about me? I wonder if there is a personality test which explains who you are based on what comics you like? HA! There should be. Maybe I should create one & make some extra spending money? HA!

Now this one is AWESOME! It is sooo true! Make food fun for kids & they will love it! :-) Make it a game that they really learn math, like adding how many they eat or subtracting from what they have or if we add 2 of yours to daddy's how many does he have now? Etc! Everything can be a learning experience if we take the time with them. That is what I do with my nieces! :-) Make the food into a pictures etc. Kids are just soooo much fun aren't they! Dang, now I miss my nieces! Can you imagine your kid saying, "Mom, can I go to Calvin's for dinner because they are having Monkey Heads!" HA! How about a kids restaurant where the menu has things like this...hmmm I wonder if you would still have to have a gender specific pages of menu or at least some options right. Have to ask the kids. Ok, who wants to start this restaurant with me? :-)

My favorite are Calvin's Snowmen! HA! They are just so hysterical! I have about 5 or so of the books. They are a sure fire way to get me laughing....where are those books...I need that right now, although sometimes it hurts to laugh lately with my pain....and I can't stand shallow laughs!

I love that last panel! HA! Dad needs to lighten up & have some fun & explore! :-)

When Baseball Players Fight!

 Vs.
Boy will be Boys! HA!

Ok, I'll give Barrett a point for a pretty good hit on Pierzynski! HA! Did Pierzynski deserve it? Well...ok so he was excited & happy but don't tell me he wasn't trying to push Barrett's & the Cubs buttons rubbing it in with the slapping of the plate & the push to Barrett when he got up!

Now would I have preferred Barrett just do the same & get Pierzynski to make the choice of hitting...might have worked out better but....NO...I'm not for violence, but ask me if I wasn't excited when the benches cleared! HA! Isn't that just pathetic!

I will say Pierzynski can take a hit, but then again look at his size in comparison to Barrett, so not a big achievement if you ask me.

Now I loved Darrin Jackson's (announcer) comment that "I dont' care what MLB says, you want to get out there because if you are the last man in the dug out when the fight is over you will be in trouble with your teammates!" Ultimate Conformity! Great example for my class this summer! HA! It is true...just think of what would happen. Sad but so true. Unless you are some huge guy that no one is going to mess with, but then you probably are not going to be in baseball! HA!

It is a shame the Cubs couldn't use the fight to get them excited and play better. It is just helping the Sox now.

Just pathetic...Sox win 7-0! UGH!!!!

Talk about Boys being Boys....
 VS
Well talk about tv violence influencing you...ha! After the Pierzynski vs Bartlett fight Dusty jumped off my legs, where he was getting quite a lovely massage I might add & you'd think relaxing him, and he goes & sucker swatts Country. Country wasn't even facing him. Laying down minding his own business. Then after I yelled at Dusty he went & did it again. Country was a good boy "for once!" My guess Dusty thought Country was invading his space. You know it is great feeling to have guys fighting over you but somehow this is not quite what I had in mind! HA!

P.S.  Ha! I just had to add...they were just playing "Why Can't We Be Friends" showing Sox & Cubs fans together...guess they should play that in the locker rooms! HA!

Home Sick & QVC! Ugh!

This is why it is not good being home sick! HA! I just made my very first purchase from QVC! No, I didn't buy some jewelry, a stud machine to jewel up my lampshade or some of Maria Osmond's Dolls! :-) Let me explain....

Ok, so I'm looking at the clock on my computer & I realize I missed the Cubs vs. White Sox game. I figured hmmm depending on what happened with that game (right) maybe they have the post game or something on. I turn on the tv & see Dr. Dyer listed! Now I like Dr. Dyer. I met him a number of years ago in AZ & he has been quite sweet & generous to me over the years. I am currently reading his newest book "Inspiration" now. Well, QVC has a book of his which is not coming out until Oct AND (hear a "That's not all") 6 CDS for like $40 with S&H). Now early & for that price. The book alone is that price, though I look for the best sales! I think I'm going to be in trouble if I don't switch the channel...apple chips...mmmm!

Feline Friday

I put "loopy" because I'm still not feeling real good. Trying to graduating on what I'm eating. So far ok but still causing some problems. Ugh!

Here is my Feline Friday entry for (sometimes) Photoblog. This is Dusty (his formeral name is Dakota) when I first got him! Wasn't he adorable. You have to click on "View Larger" to see real good! He is "My Baby"! Even though sometimes he doesn't like to be loved so much! HA! He is like me I think...he loves to be loved & hugged & kissed etc but can only take so much & then ok, lets go have some fun! HA! Then he comes back for more! ;-) You know he still hops & runs around like he did when he was a kitten & he was 16 yrs old this past March. The 2nd picture is the ribbons he got when I showed him in his first year or so. 1sts & a few 2nd place depending on how many cats were competing against him & who the judge was. They have their past favorites and prejudices on types etc.

Later I found out he was a Nebelung. The description is even...

"Like the Russian Blue, Nebelungs make affectionate, devoted companions, though they may be initially shy with strangers, particularly young children. Nebelungs may take a little extra time to adapt to new homes. The breed is quite rare and is available currently only in the United States, Germany, the Netherlands and Russia. "

Well I'm not shy with children but he can be if he doesn't know them. He also HATES hats of any kind! I can't even wear one or he freaks.

Now Country I adopted from my brother. He is affectionately nicknamed "Osma" since he terrorizes Dusty! He also is an attention hound! Ugh! No comment on the attention hound part matching my bro! HA!

It is a no wonder my clothes have cat hair on them. Dusty never got in the dryer so I was quite surprised when I found him in there for the first time. More like scared the heck out of me when I put my hand in to grab clothes. Good thing I didn't close the door & turn it on! HA! But then Dusty got closed in the flues. My folks had a double flue for their fireplace so that helped getting him. What the cat was doing up there I'm not sure. Maybe he smelled the raccoons who would invariably make a home in the winter time there. I think I posted once before he saved our family from a raccoon that got in the house once. We tell him he adds lives when he does heroic things. :-)

Well I'm going to have to take some more recent pictures of them this weekend if I can! And Sam & Ella man...HUGE! I'm not sure I can hold Sam with one hand & take the picture with the other anymore! I'll try!

Ask the Fruitcake Lady

No I was not referring to myself! Ugh! HA! I got to this site by way of John's Mustache entry. I love mustaches & beards too but those I don't think I would like...though they are fun & cool.

You have got to watch this video of the Fruitcake Lady! OMG! LMAO! She is just hysterical! Could you imagine her being a professor! I'd love it! Something about older people getting away with so much more. I had a prof a few years ago who was close to 80 yrs old & boy was he quite open. But he was great too. No one minded him using the F word...it was appropriate in context, but I know darn well if it was someone younger people probably would have more of a problem with it.

Of course I was a bit peeved on her answer about finding a good man at 40! Ugh! But I can't say she is wrong! HA!

He Said, She Said II

Here is another cartoon! Pretty funny...but likely true! HA! At least in my family it was pretty typical! :-)

What do you all think?
