Richer Than Rich

June is officially here! As I mentioned before, I am going to give the 'daily blogging' phenomenon a try for this month since it is a special month, and I occasionally like to participate in NaBloPoMo when I feel like I might be able to swing it. Although it is easy to find something to complain about every day, it's challenging but rewarding to find positive things to write about. June's "theme" is HEROES. I think I can get creative with that subject.

Now regarding luck and privilege? It's ridiculous to think by any means that I am unlucky or unfortunate when I have so many things and people in my life to be thankful for. Today is a day to honor one of my favorite heroes, my husband Rich.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR. J!

'What kind of hero is he?' you might wonder? Well multiple things put him on my list of heroes. He is a guitar hero (real-life, not in video game version), he overcame many things having grown up in circumstances that might predispose other kids into taking wrong roads, but he made something of himself, and he is just an extremely bright, witty, positive force to be reckoned with. When times get dark, and I am certain I am annoying him with my negativity or tears, he finds a way to make me realize that I'm wasting my time worrying, and helps me laugh right through it all. (Who could resist that smile?)

So here's to you "Mr. J". You're the hero of my heart and love of my soul. You've been my family for a few years now, but I feel like you've been a part of me all my life. I'm so happy and fortunate to have you be a part of my life and my heart. I truly wish you a wonderful, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, and I Love You With All My Heart.

That's a nice tribute to your husband. Even before I fell in love with my wife, I called her my hero. She had done so much for her children as a single mom and worked so hard to give them a better life. It was a hard road, but she perservered.

We all need heroes.

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
