Heading into the Forest on a Lucky Day!

Oooh it was a nice chilly morning, and I could use more of that. I guess Mr. J and I will be departing for our trip on Friday the 13th, which some folks say is not a good day, or 'unlucky' if you will, but I think that it's all in how you look at it... I happen to think Friday the 13th is cool. I am a strange moon child though... Maybe if I thought about it, I would think how we are going up into the Hills of Arkansas on such a supposedly unlucky day (which has been named for a few famous horror flicks I must say), and that Arkansas in some of its remote places can remind you of the 1972 movie, Deliverance at times... hmmm well, i'll be ready for any creepies that come my way then, as they don't want to tangle with Aunt Jackie!! Aside from that, I find the season magical, and we're starting to get that "feeling in the air", we're on our way... In that spirit, I thought I would share a cute photo I found of probably the coolest looking Jack-O-Lantern or carved pumpkin I've seen yet... This one should've won an award if it did not... Happy Thursday folks.

Jax was born on Friday the 13th. The midwife got upset when she asked me what I was doin' 'n I said "Checkin' her head for 6's"

Jax is 17 tomorrow. How the hell did she arrive at 17??? when I'm still only 18 on a good day!!

That is so sweet... no wonder she's cool as she is. All I can say about aging, is it's extremely important to think young, I believe it's (one of) the key(s). If we think a thing, I feel like we put it into motion-if we project youth, we'll be youthful... As far as time [the actual number], we're 10 and 20 minutes later we're 30, and 20 minutes later we're 60 years old wondering where it all went!! (i'm wise beyond my years-haha j/k) Happy Birthday to Jax! Wow born on Friday October 13th to boot.

When Potato Salad Goes Bad

Image
I have always loved Far Side cartoons... this one about Potato Salad going bad was one of my favorites. Just the mental image of spoiled food pulling a gun gives me a giggle. Larson rules. However, bad food in the fridge is sometimes no laughing matter. I recently let some broccoli sprouts go beggin' and they tried to take the entire household hostage, guests and all. Funny thing about broccoli sprouts, they are against guns and drugs, and totally for Animal Rights but they carry tazers. It's really confusing, and a lesson hard learned. :) So anyway, yeah another make up post I did for yesterday. So sue me... not that it makes a big impact. We've had internet connection problems, which are still ongoing. The technician arrived in decent time and said our equipment was o.k., and that there had been an issue going on in our area, here and there... they were working on it. Maybe it will be resolved soon. I sure hope so, it's just agitating and it goes down at the worst tim

Birthday Blast

Yes, I think I will just claim 15 again, and stay there. Looking back, my teen years were worry free. I mean, there was the bi-weekly broken heart and all, but geez. It was a time when people said, "You've got your whole life ahead of you." and it was still true... wait, well it's still true, just now there is less of it ahead of me. That's all. No, I actually didn't get a cake, or any kind of party... Didn't really care. Basically, I just took off two extra days and treated myself to a 4 day weekend in honor of my birthday. Today, June 22nd is the actual date. However, my honorary "celebration" of it began when I got off work Friday night. We met up with some friends at the Midtown Sekisui, and then came home to watch a few more episodes of "Weeds", a tv series that many of you are probably familiar with, one that my 'ol' man' got me hooked on. Finally we have finished the series thanks to Netflix Streaming , and can await

Thirsty

For those of us who are a slave to the grind, we've almost made it through another work week, that's a great blessing! For those of you who don't have to report to anyone for your paycheck, well it's another beautiful day, so enjoy! Richie went back to work today after Monday's oral surgery, still felt a bit loopy he said but all-in-all it has been a swift recovery. I'm glad... I did the best I could to take care of him. So the weekend is in sight, and I'm trying to think of fun things to do. It's so hot weather-wise, and I don't mean to complain but I hate feeling sweaty and smelly. I like being pleasantly fragrant and sassy. Nothing much to report otherwise, so I will let you go with a few cute graphics about the heat, one of which I stole from BBC's blog again (he always has the funniest cartoons). So there you go. Happy Thursday. v
