Crazy-Brain
Count every " F" in the following text:
FINISHED FILES ARE THE RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS...HOW MANY ?
WRONG, THERE ARE 6 -- no joke.
READ IT AGAIN !
The brain cannot process "OF".
Incredible or what?
Anyone who counts all 6 "F's" on the first go is a genius (or has seen this before!)
I regularly spell like this just cuz my fingers can't keep up with my brain:
Olny srmat poelpe can raed tihs.(Thank God for Spell Check!!!)
Cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg.

Sob
Off to Katie's soon for a Girl's Night! YAY!!!!!!!
My iPod is getting happy - I just got 10 new CD's to add!
Chow. (mmmmm. I'm hungry!)
Looking For Me @ Work?
I *love* it when I get a message that 'some lady just called for you. She
sounded about our age and very pleasant and friendly. Didn't leave a name, said
she'd call back' and then NO ONE EVER CALLS BACK!! It drives me MAD (which
isn't too hard anymore)! It's a short, fast road to crashing in
incomprehensible gibberish - and I'm pretty much already there, as of....7 this
morning!
Sigh. Thank you for putting up with my rant! You can leave your name when you
call and I for some odd and unforseeable reason (aka: lunch !) do not answer
the phone. I also usually turn on my cell at lunch time (unless I carelessly
forget it at home, which has happened....one time.)
Well, back to the mind bending task of de-coding technical terms and turning
them into the correct, easily understood language!! (yay!)
PS - We here are not holding our breath (some quit when they turned purple),
tho many fingers are crossed, that I get my new computer today!!!!!!!!!!!

Colored Folks
What a great sense of humor and creativity!!! )
When I born, I black,
when I grow up, I black,
when I go in sun, I black,
when I cold, I black,
when I scared, I black,
when I sick, I black,
and when I die, I still black.
You white folks...
when you born, you pink,
when you grow up, you white,
when you go in sun, you red,
when you cold, you blue,
when you scared, you yellow,
when you sick, you green,
when you bruised, you purple,
and when you die, you gray.
So, who you callin' colored folks ?

Thanks for Praying
Dad called a little while ago and the techs who took the MRI last night took the wrong ones, so he's back there today.
BUT! The Doc said Dad should be able to drive and go back to work tomorrow, and can't lift over 10lbs. So that's great! It sounds like his back maybe isn't broken bad enough to completely keep him from working.
Dad has decided they will not be going to Camp on Friday...
So, that's the scoop!! Thanks for praying last night!
Smooth Ride
They had put down a layer of pavement!!!
It made me want to drive crooked and do donuts and such - not that I really
would, or ever have! Mmmmm! I was ecstatic! The wonderfulness of it all
reminded me of Cars when Lightening had finished re-paving the road that he
tore up in Radiator Springs and all the other cars got out and were having a
ball on the new road. It was just one big par-tay! Mmm-hmm.
Now, if only they could decide if they want to keep the road paved!
There are more holes everywhere!

Just Chillin'
So, now I must go to bed and get rested up for the bonfire tomorrow night. Yay! (Which sounds really odd coming from me!)
Road Work Day 2
Can you tell? I have nothing to do at work but watch all the people working on the road outside my window. And take pictures!!! Today, after all the smoothing out they did yesterday morning, huge, deep holes were dug up in the road all over the place. The kind that you would literally loose a car in. Especially the Plant Manager's new car. (The 2007 Saturn Sky!)
So, even tho I do have a much needed program on this computer, I don't have all programs, and some are just the trial versions, so I can't do anything but open some files. And, I got finished the 2 whole things I had to do today by 8. Sigh. Where it's nice to be paid to sit around and do whatever, I have stuff to do at home, and I haven't had anything to do since before my computer (at work) crashed...over a month ago. We are hoping that my new one comes in by the end of this month....but don't hold your breath!
Sunday is Father's Day. What fun! I am grilling steak, potatoes and onions for Dad. It's what he wants! Well....we have this meal every Father's Day. Num!!!! (Tho, 2004 would be the first time I actually did the grilling. Usually Dad did that...)
Missin' Keith. Still haven't heard anything from him. (It is rumored that he is back in Nashville.) I have to admit, I don't expect to ever hear from or see him again. Maybe I'm just pessimistic about it, but I really wouldn't be surprised if he never came around again. And if he did come back to MN for whatever reason, he wouldn't try to see us. :-(
Tonight I want to try getting an (orange) iBlaster Orb to bring to work so I can play my iPod. That would be really cool!
I also found....Pillow Speakers. HEE! I'd get the lime green one if I got any of them, but that's just funny to me that there are pillows to hook an iPod to for listening!!!
