OH STINK

so, it was decided that we should re-paint the bathroom. a nice green color. (hmmmm...sound like a pattern?) and after a few weeks of bugging dad to get one thing done, suddenly he's gone gung-ho on the whole project and now it is necessary to paint it this weekend, as we are getting less and less of a working bathroom.

first, it was the border coming down. well, then the cabinets got pulled out and the new light fixture appeared one day when i came home form work. and the next day gone were the hooks for towels and now the mirror has gone missing. oh - and the newly installed light fixture is hanging over the middle of the room...by a string. it's s'posed to be on the wall!!

sigh...i was looking forward to an actual weekend of doing nothing. too bad, so sad! none of that for me!!!!

hopefully the sink, toilet and shower will stay intact until we actually do paint, as it would be annoying to have to go upstairs every morning to silently get ready for work. (in the master bathroom. attached to mom and dad's bedroom. where they sleep soundly until janet and i are at work!)

now i must go to bed and dream of the greens to put in the bathroom!

in other news, i'm getting 5 new christmas cds!! yay! if only i could find the rest of my collection....my ipod is waiting impatiently for them!

and i have found a christmas cd that i actually do not like.

let me now change the above statement...i have actually found a relient k cd that i like...their new christmas cd. the last half anyway! i find it quite hard to dislike any christmas cd...

sun ~ stars ~ moon

Do you believe it's true
It all depends on you?
If you were to fall down
We wouldn't know what to do?

I'm a lonely soul
I'm a lonely soul
When I think I'm alone

I want to be the moon 'cause it reflects the sun
Don't want to be the star that shines on everyone
I want to be with you 'cause you're the only one
Who heals my lonely soul

Have you ever got
Everything you want?
Did you fake a grin
And feel you lose when you win?

How Do You Get To Heaven?

I was testing the children in my Sunday school class to see if they understood the concept of getting to heaven.

 

I asked them, "If I sold my house and my car, had a big garage sale and gave all my money to the church, would that get me into Heaven?"

 

"NO!" the children answered.

 

"If I cleaned the church every day, mowed the yard, and kept everything neat and tidy, would that get me into Heaven?"

 

Again, the answer was, "NO!"

 

By now I was starting to smile.

 

Hey, this was fun!

 

"Well, then, if I was kind to animals and gave candy to all the children, and loved my husband, would that get me into Heaven?" I asked them again.

 

Again, they all answered, "NO!"

 

I was just bursting with pride for them.

 

"Well," I continued, "then how can I get into Heaven?"

 

A five-year-old boy shouted out,

 

"YOU GOTTA BE DEAD."

Christmas Music

I love Christmas. The giving of gifts, the good food, the music....

I listen to Christmas songs year-round. They are good!! I have 446 Christmas songs on my iPod. That is about half my collection. I was going to add the rest of my songs, but I came upon one tiny little problem.

Alright, so it's actually quite a BIG problem...

All my Christmas music CDs are missing.

It is a sad sad day in my life.

I will have to look for them sometime when I actually have more than 5 minutes to search and I will be buying more CDs this season! Smitty just came out with another AWESOME Christmas CD, and Josh Groban finally released one!! There are also several others on my wish list. :-) Now just to fit them into my budget.............

Pity my co-workers. It is now the season to start playing Christmas music quite regularly at work. :-D And soon, it will be playing 24/7!!!!!

IQ TEST

Here's a one-question IQ Test to help you decide how you should spend the rest of your day......
  
There is a mute who wants to buy a toothbrush.
  
By imitating the action of brushing one's teeth, he successfully expresses himself to the shopkeeper and the purchase is done.
  
Now, if there is a blind man who wishes to buy a pair of sunglasses, how should he express himself?
  
Think about it first before scrolling down for the answer... 





























He opens his mouth and says. "I would like to buy a pair of Sunglasses".
If you got this wrong -- please turn off your computer and call it a day.

I've got mine shutting down right now.

(You know you missed it too, so shut down your computer)

New Legislation in California

Last week in California they banned elephants from the beach.

 

 

 

 

‘Why??’ you may ask....

 

 

 

 

 

 

...because the elephants walk around with their trunks down all the time.

Bad Memory

It's Raining, It's Pouring. The Old Man is Snoring...

And the rain, rain, rain

Came down, down, down

A rushing, rising, rivulet

Til the river crept out of its bed

And crept right into Piglet’s.

 

Poor Piglet he was frightened,

With quit a rightful fright!

And so in desperation,

A message he did write.

 

He placed it in a bottle

And it floated out of sight.

And the rain, rain, rain

Came down, down, down

So Piglet started bailing.

 

He was unaware, atop his chair

While bailing he was sailing

And the rain, rain, rain

Came down, down, down

And the flood rose up all over!

 

Pooh too was caught,

And so he thought

“I must rescue my supper”

Ten honey pots he rescued

Enough to see him through.

 

But as he sopped up his supper,

The river sopped up Pooh.

And the water twirled and tossed him

In a honey pot!

 

When the rain, rain, rain

Came down, down, down...

 

When the rain, rain, rain

Came down, down, down...

 

When the rain, rain, rain

Came down, down, down...
