Wednesday stuff...

Stuff is correct...that is what my sinuses are filled with right now for the second day. Urrgghhh. And a low-grade temp. Me. The one who is NEVER sick. At least it happened this week and not next, so I'm grateful for that. So that is me, beached on the couch, not even reading. My kids know that I am truly sick if I can't read or am not on the computer! But tomorrow will be a better day, as Miz Scarlett sez. It had better be...I need to go get my hair cut, get packed, work on rally stuff...

I don't have time for this nonsense! Oh well, life is still good here in the land of sunshine.

7 Wonders of the World...

No, I'm not talking about the Great Wall of China, Grand Canyon or the Taj Mahal...those places are beautiful, but for some, not attainable.

Think about it......what are the true wonders of the world? I think they are these:
~~to see
~~to hear
~~to touch
~~to feel
~~to laugh
~~to love

And the greatest of these is love. No doubt. The purple butterfly is in memory of my sweet Mother, whose birthday would have been today. Life is good!!!

Cute little Missy...

The back of the couch is one of Missy's fave perches, shown here with her harness on...
Or curled up asleep in her new bed...or just looking out this window. What a life!

She soooo wants to go outside, but of course doesn't have her kitty door to go at will out of the moho. We have to hook her up on a leash to keep her contained, otherwise she would roam the neighborhood and there are too many cars and bicycles going by. Fortunately the loud noises scare her, so she probably wouldn't go out in the road, but still, we can't take a chance. She did make a dash out the door yesterday, earning a scolding from Dad over that one! Poor baby. We just want to keep her safe, but like a kid, she wants to go out and play. All in all, she leads a pretty charmed life!

Yesterday was sunny and beautiful and I wanted to go out and play, too, but I also needed to spring clean the moho and do laundry. No fun being an adult at times, right? Today we'll go to our old church and then who knows what we'll do after that. I'm sure it'll be fun, whatever it is.

Happy Sunday, y'all! Enjoy your day. Life is good!!!

A BOLD, new day...

Meet my new smartphone...a Blackberry Bold 9000. I debated on what to get, but my guru convinced me that with our weak cell reception at home, I would be better off with this model. It is 3G capable (like we get that in Mayberry!), but here in W. Palm Beach I am fully 3G and boy, is it fast! I'm still working on learning all the bells and whistles and getting it customized. That'll take time.

Friend Ivey W. loaned me his 8820 for the trip Down Under and I got sold on the Blackberry product. He is a phone whiz...loves his new Bold, and will help me get mine customized if I need his expertise (I'm sure I will!).

Dick and I made a pilgrimage to Total Wines and More this morning...and ran into friends from Mayberry as we walked out (Paul and Nancy P.)! How's that for it being a small world!!! Believe it or not, we were in Puerto Rico several years ago and ran into a guy from Mayberry. Do you get the feeling that folks from up there love to travel? Of course we do!

And speaking of, we two are going cruising in 8 days with 42 other couples! Stay tuned...

Count your blessings...

I'm sure counting mine! That's a bunch of pure CUTE right there...and they are all nice as well.

Life is good!!! Happy Friday, y'all! Today is Bee and Sarge's anniversary. Click over and leave them a nice message, especially since Sarge accidentally deleted his blog! Oh nooooo...now he has to re-build it. He could use some cyber hugs for sure.

Happy 2009!!!

May peace break into your house and may thieves come to steal your debts.
May the pockets of your jeans become a magnet for $100 bills.
May love stick to your face like Vaseline and may laughter assault your lips!
May your clothes smell of success like smoking tires and may happiness slap you across the face and may your tears be that of joy.
May the problems you had forget your home address!
In simple words . . . May 2009 be the best year of your life!!!
