Friviolity

I was laying in bed flipping through channels this morning and landed on this show where a designer was taking his clients shopping for new bedding. Their current bedroom is all WHITE, and they were trying to introduce new color to the room.

The woman wanted a lot of color. She found an ensemble she liked. The man said, “I couldn’t live with that!”

Ok… there are a lot of live or die issues in the world. A bedspread is not one of them.

Sometimes, it amazes me what people put so much effort into. I guess travelling around town with a home health professional and seeing inside some of the rougher houses in town kind of changed my outlook on things.

Cold, Cold, Go Away!

So the sniffling, my-nose-has-running-all-the-time, cold has turned into an “I have to cough a lot” cold. But I’m not one to complain. I just hope it goes away soon.

I spent part of my night last night watching, “Deal or No Deal” and reading a new book that I can’t remember the name of right now. I’d say around 8:30, the little kid and I passed out in the chair, watching Monday Night Raw (not that this was my idea… it’s just a standard Monday thing at our house).

I’m looking forward to the premier of The Medium on Wednesday.

At least it’s getting me away from my computer. 🙂 That’s good, right?

I overheard a lady today saying that she’s spending her Thankgiving days off driving to Colorado to see family. I could only think about how good it would be to get away for a few days… just to do something fun.

So if anyone has any free airline tickets, toss them my way. I need 3. Not the SPAM kind, though. lol

This was going to be the day

where The Little Kid had two teeth pulled to make way for some permanent teeth. We decided to get a second opinion, and cancelled the appointment. I’m going to go get all of her dental records after work and then deliver them to a new pedodontist next Wednesday.

It will be handier having all our dental issues handled in one building, between the three of our family members.

Also, the original pedodontist did not have a gas option. I’m not sure I want TLK dosed up with gas, but I guess I’d like to have the option to. I just kept seeing her horrified at having a tooth pulled. I’m sure she’d get over it… we all do, but this is my little kid.

Anyone else had this done with their kids?

Hi, it’s boring here…

Sorry, but it is. In between the regular, everyday stuff, I’m dealing with a couple of days away from my family to take a motorcycle safety course. Day 1 involved taking a tour of the motorcycle shop, looking through various protective gear and going through 1/4 of the necessary questions to get prepared for a test on Sunday.

The weekend will involve riding. I won’t be out on the streets or anything, so you’re all safe to mill about as you normally do.

Last night, I spent almost all of my time baking cookies for a United Way (charity) bake sale at work. Two batches yielded about 5 cookie sheets of big cookies. Half are peanut butter chip/chocolate chip and the other half are chocolate chunk. They are yummy. Want to buy some?

Other than that… nothing really. Have a good Thursday!

Compassion and Forgiveness

Samuel Johnson:
Kindness is in our power, even when fondness is not.

Mark Victor Hansen:
Lack of forgiveness causes almost all of our self-sabotaging behavior.

The Dalai Lama: If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.


Martin Luther King, Jr.:
Everybody can be great… because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.


Kahlil Gibran:
Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair, but manifestations of strength and resolution.

“Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.”
Ephesians 4:32
