PhotoStory Friday...

Who doesn't LOVE a good powdered donut?!

1. When all else fails...open up a box of hostess donut holes and see the tears vanish!

2. Do not try to inhale while eating one of these tasty treats.

3. Put the whole donut hole in your mouth.

4. Do not talk while chewing...powder goes everywhere.

5. Try as you might to conceal the evidence of eating the donut...the ring around your mouth is a dead giveaway!

6. Eat them OUTSIDE of the vehicle/house.

7. Try not to eat the whole box in one sitting.

8. Yes, donut holes are smaller. That means I can eat half the box myself right??!

9. Make sure to distribute evenly, because the cat claws come out..Meow!

Yet Another Jay and Deb Production.

Just a small preface....Last week on a quiet Tuesday evening, while chatting on twitter, I was surprised at a post left on a blog. Now mind you (since this is about me), I have a very tender and sweet disposition in all things...wink...anyways.

In this post was a video of a rather unusual kind. A "stalker" had FOUND and LEFT a message on the blogger's phone! He decided to post and video the message. It was quite cryptic in nature and disturbed me greatly to say the least. So I proceeded to give encouragement and support to this Blogging individual/friend/Jay... by GENTLY letting him know I had his families back, cough, cough!!

Well, I had no idea this gentleman did voice impersonations, nor had I heard his voice before....

So, we all know where this is going, so no fan fare...It had been himself recording the phone message!! Ha, Ha...

I tell you this story because first the picture represents what I was going to do to the stalker...and second, I would like to Tribute the individuals who have started this wonderful idea...to give back to what we feel passionate about. Through Twitter/#GNO (please sign up and join in), Facebook and blogging, I have met some very FUN and SWEET individuals who uplift me each week. This could have only happened thanks to the Internet.
So to Jay...
On twitter #GNO... I laugh so hard I can't breathe, not even a tehe, giggle...maybe with a toot though..hmmm? You engage my humor and intellect (somewhere up there) and keep it going through posts/twitter and facebook. Beside every good man...is a good woman, and I am so grateful for her!!
Deb...
Marry me? JK.... You say the sweetest things to me. I may look like I got hit by a ton of bricks...but you let me know of my beauty through your eyes...truly a gorgeous woman inside and out You are! Now as far as her posts...here, and here oh and here. There are so many I love to read them all. You make me laugh, cry, shout for joy and feel like I am normal!

So this Tuesday I wanted to give back to the 2 people who gave me and others this chance to think about someone/thing other than ourselves (myself). Thank YOU!!

WordFul Wednesday...

From this....Bright blue, 65 degrees, panoramic views, red rock, natures stairs to the top, calm breeze, and a vast playing field!

To this...a vast vortex of brown, gray, stifling, suffocating, nothing muck!!

Our children had a 4 day weekend (didn't they just have a holiday break, anyhow I digress). So, we decided to head south to St. George. It was truly beautiful. Getting out of the ever so pleasant inversion was not missed. Breathing fresh air for several days...simply cleansing!!

Tuesday's Tribute....

Dear DW;

You give so much and in return, just a little jet dry is all you ask for. The many hand prints that cover your stainless steel face, and not one complaint. Even when you don't want to do the work, you wash through your moodiness. Oh, how you have made my life a bit easier. I cram more than what I should and you still forge through the grub. We use our feet to close you, your door to mix on (a great way for children wanting to help "stir" for any meal, when you don't want a huge mess, shut the door and the dishwasher will take care of the mess), and you even don't mind Kirkland brand. So thank you for making my life easier!

Love,

Your devoted user!

"Have a Coke and a Smile!"

See the glow around the mug? K-sad, I know, but it sure looks like it was heaven sent!!

This week has proven itself difficult. So the other day while quickly running out the door...there was a pleasant surprise. A fountain Coke (fuzzy, a family word because it tickles your nose...ah, sweet), and a huge hug and smile from a beautiful friend. I must say that had to be the best coke. I slurped on that thing all day! The simple gestures and happenings this week and in my life daily, truly bring some of the greatest joy. My "Love Bucket" overflowed with tender, comforting words and actions from "earth angels" these past few days. I Love You and Thank You...
