Caught in the Act

These two were caught...

Shocking!!!

They were together in the house.

Just the two of them.

It was a cold, dark, stormy night. The storm had come quickly and each time the thunder boomed he watched her jump.

She looked across the room and admired his strong appearance...and wished that he would take her in his arms, comfort her and protect her from the storm.

Suddenly, with a pop, the power went out.

She screamed.

He raced to the sofa where she was cowering.

He didn't hesitate to pull her into his arms.

He knew this was a forbidden union and expected her to pull back.

He was surprised when she didn't resist but instead clung to him.

The storm raged on.

They knew it was wrong.

Their families would never understand.

So consumed were they in their FEAR that they heard no opening of doors.

Just the faint click of a camera...

Home Again

Well, for those of you who care, Janet and I are home again. We drove a total of 1286.7 miles this weekend. (There would've been fewer miles, but we got lost trying to get out of Gary, IN and Chicago on the way home...) WOWSERS! Can we please sleep now?

Rivers, call Janet. She's holding something of yours hostage...please contact her ASAP for details.

Good night, and good luck.

Psychiatry

Tho I feel no real reason to laugh today, here is a good joke...

(I cannot even think of a fake reason to laugh.)

Jerry went to a psychiatrist.  "Doc," he said, "I've got trouble.  Every time I get into bed, I think there's somebody under it.  I'm going crazy!"
"Just put yourself in my hands for one year," said the shrink.  "Come to  me three times a week, and I'll cure your fears."
"How much do you charge?"
"A hundred dollars per visit."
"I'll sleep on it," said Jerry.
Six months later the doctor met Jerry on the street."  Why didn't you ever come to see me again?" asked the psychiatrist.
"For a hundred bucks a visit?  A bartender cured me for $10."
"Is that so!   How?"
"He told me to cut the legs off the bed!  Ain't nobody under there now!"

Where are you, Keith??? Please come home.

Farewell, Angela

November Calendar

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?

Oh The Huge Manatee

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!!!!!
