From a Friend



I found this video in my inbox the other day, and the saying was short and simple.

"I just saw this on youtube...it reminded me of you. I hope it makes you smile this morning"


And it surely did, just the thought of someone seeing something that reminded them of me and knowing I would love it. But more importantly was the "smile" as it was needed and she new it.

So, thank you Zona, for making my day brighter, and giving me a sunshine of a smile.

Michael Buble wrapped up in Sweetness, who can ask for anything more!

Good Morning Everyone!!!!

Birdee said...

Carol, Love Micheal Buble!!
I think you should have that song on your business phone...for whenever you may have to put someone on hold!

Birdee said...

oh, and about the Rosie vid....
I think if the ladies would stop professing how much they "love each other" and referring back to the year Rosie was on...then maybe Rosie would "get over it"!!!
I think the "ladies" need to "get over it"!! JMHO

I for one...like Rosie alot!
Lois, I'm rooting for ya to get the writing gig!!!

Birdee said...

I kinda think..I'm in the mood for shopping...but.....I'm fighting it!! ha!

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Good morning Birdee and Mek!

Congrats on 1st Birdee! I guess the tie between Scirish and Lynn D won't be decided today:) Lol!

I enjoy the way Micheal Buble sings. But the video selection confused me a bit. Does Zona want Carol to fly away with her or was it just a reference to Carol being in the flying business? Just wondering.

Have a lovely day everyone. I'm going to pop a pizza in the oven for brunch.

Lois Lane said...

I just love that guy. Such a clean voice. I always thought he was born a few decades too soon.

Congratulations Chicken Owl, #1 Hooter!!

Area 51: Thanks for all the good luck wishes! Seriously freaking out internally realizing my dream could happen within a week! Just three days until Rosie Live airs! Woot woot!

Bebbilane said...

Congrats on first Birdee!

Good morning Birdee, Shirley and Mek.

I love Michael Buble..his voice is just so wonderful!!!!

Take care all and have a great day. i will be fussing with my steam cleaner. the knob broke off of it yesterday and I am about to approach Mr. Bebbi on helping me get it fixed.

Tinkatia said...

Good Morning Birdee - You little early bird you.

Good Morning Mek, Lois and Bebbi.

I am going to listen to Michael sing. I love him. Be right back.

Tinkatia said...

Oh Michael, you could sing to me all night. You are fantastic.

Birdee - I agree with your "Rosie" statement exactly. They are always mentioning 'that one bad year'. It was a great year as ratings showed. Oh well, that was yesterdays' news.
Have fun shopping today. My daughter is helping me this year. My grandkids are at the stage where they really want a specific item of tech stuff or clothes. I can't buy cute little toys for them anymore. They are too old for that. I wouldn't think of buying clothes for Traci because I don't know what eleven year olds wear today. Cara doesn't mind and as long as I get to wrap them and pay for them I feel like they are from me.

Tinkatia said...

Lois, I have my fingers crossed for you. I am not asking for your script because even without reading it I know it's great because you wrote it. You probably need more objective positive criticisms than that. Good Luck.

Mek - Say some prayers for us Little Owls. We could all use them.

Tinkatia said...

Shirley - I am sorry I missed out your name. How could I miss that 'blue moon' I don't know. Good Morning my dear. I hope you have a great day.

Bebbi - Congrats on the weight loss.

Zona- I hope Mr. Z is better today.

VIG - Tia is fine after eating the Omega 3 pill. I think she needed more than 2 sets of obedience lessons. She won't touch her food or treat until I give her permission but if she finds somehing It's "fair game".

Morning Glories!

Birdee I love seeing your nakkey plucked beauty! LOL Congrats on 1st.

I loved the music this morning Carol and Zona. A nice way to ease myself awake.

I had a very restless night and was up for hours. Finally feel asleep at 4:30 am to have one of the strangest and saddest dreams I have had in a long time.

So I am going to drink my coffee and try to shake off the dream as I wake up.

night.owls.sb said...

Birdee! My favorite Chickenowl!

Congrats on First thru Seven!!!

Have you seen Ronnie? :O)

night.owls.sb said...

Birdee:
Believe me, I have thought of Michael Buble singing as I put people on hold.. However I am to cheap to hook the whole thing up. I did look into it tho "music on hold" and it was about $400.00.. So for now, all gets dead silence...

:O)

night.owls.sb said...

Good Morning...

Birdee, Lois, Tink, Mek, Lynnd, Shirley, Bebbi...

And

Good Afternoon...

To all that flies in later..

night.owls.sb said...

Shirley:
You made me laugh.. :O)

night.owls.sb said...

I am off to my second party of the weekend.. Hopefully today will have a better outcome...

However I am going to a 1yr old birthday, so I am thinking.. Lots of kids, which means lots of screaming..

The good news, is the party is at a Restaurant, so there will lots of good food, and plenty of drink..

night.owls.sb said...

iteach:
I hope you are having a marvelous time with your hubby at the hotel.

I am also hoping the toilet paper was folded just as you like it to be...

Miss ya!

night.owls.sb said...

Zona:
Thanks for thinking of me!

♥♥♥

night.owls.sb said...

Lois:
My fingers are crossed as well and my toes.. However my toes are starting to cramp up, so every now and then I have to uncross them..

:O)

night.owls.sb said...

Everyone enjoy your day!

See ya later!

:O)

Maureen said...

I would so totally love to fly away with Michael Buble! Would that make me a cougar? LOL Grrowwlll!!

BIRDEEEEE...nice to see ya you nekkid chicky you!

CAROL...have fun at the party!

LYNN...I'm sorry you had such a restless night. I think a nap may be in order for you.

TINKA...enjoy your day with the grandkids.

Just_Lin said...

Birdee Congrats on being the early bird today! You know, it's getting cooler, winter's almost here, maybe you should put your chicken suit back on before you catch a cold. :)

Carol That was a pleasant and upbeat way to start the day. Thank you Carol and Zona.

whabbear said...

Good morning, Birdie, MEK, Shirley, Bebbi, Carol, Zona, J/L, 'weenie, and Tink !

Lois: Best hopes and wishes! How fun it would be for a Rossblogger/owl to break into the business! I remember when you sent your video in to Leno...

Lynn D: OMG, so did I, but on Friday night! Seriously, it was one of the weirdest, saddest, and most vivid dreams I can ever remember having.

The plot was just bizarre. I and a large number of family members were gathered to witness... get this... the execution of a very young niece for having committed some heinous crime (can't remember what).

The dream played out for quite some time, as everybody just cried and shared unbelievable sorrow, hoping against hope for a stay to the execution.

Forget about the fact that the niece was way to young to be subject to the death penalty... none of the family members had counterparts in my real life! And yet, everybody in the dream, myself included, were just in complete despair!

Weird, weird, weird, is the realm of the dreammaker, huh?

Just_Lin said...

Bear I hate when I have a really upsetting dream like that. The feelings can stay with you all day.

East Bay J said...

Good morning/afternoon hooters!

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend so far.

Not too familiar with Michael Bubele, but he has a very pleasant voice :)

Good music to start the day!

Tinkatia said...

Good Morning Lynn, Carol, Just Lin, East Bay J and Whabbear.

I am off for my walk, then a nap, then off for dinner. This is a fun day. My son-in-law and grandson just spent the last hour chopping kindling for me. I have enough to last the winter I think. I have never seen two people work so fast.

Lynn - Isn't is awful when you don't get your full night's sleep? I went through that last week. I swear I was a zombie each day.

Whabbear - Did watching GW have anything to do with your dream? I didn't watch it but was it scary?

Just - Lin - I think I am lucky I don't remember my dreams anymore. I know how they can affect the whole day.

East Bay J and Carol - I love that song too. Have a great day.

Anonymous said...

Good afternoon, my Owl friends!

What a great day! Sunshine and Michael Buble! A good old Canadian boy..actually from Vancouver. You know, Zona and Jodi, that city that is across the Pacific River from Victoria that is not in North America!!!

Great choice of video, Carol and Zona!!!

Tink...glad the blog writing dog is okay! You better get the typewriter out for her today....she might have something to say about her adventures with vitamins!

Zona...how's Mr.Z today? Hope he's feeling much better!

Bono and Dianne...hope you are both feeling muchly improved! And to all the Owls under the weather, feel better quick!

Tina..hope the popcorn and the vampires are great!

whabbear said...

Tina: So true!

Tink: I don't think it was GW... the episode wasn't scary at all. They're just spinning out this plot twist as long as they can!

MEK and SacBarb and Zona and all the other GW fans in the nest, have you been watching? What do you think of what they've been doing?

Lani said...

CARol & ZONA, Thank you for the pleasant Video to listen to on a Sunday Morning.

BEAR, I am not happy with the present GW plot. I liked the characters just the way they were. I am wondering if viewers were upset and the show is trying to slip him back in. Will he remember who he is and everything will be back to normal?

Zona said...

Hi Everyone!

CPGEM: Sometimes, when a day is difficult, a snappy song by an artist you like can make all the difference. I'm glad you liked the video...knowing it made you smile makes me smile. :)

BIRDEE: Congrats on FIRST! Did you give in and go shopping?

SHIRLEY: No ulterior motives...honest!! lol..

MEK: How was church? Mom? The roof??? ;)

LL: I saw the commercial for the show last night..and I will definately be watching!! I sure hope you get the gig..how cool, and well deserved would that be?

BEBBI: Hope you fix your knob.. ;)

TINKA: Mr. Z has been sleeping all day...I think that rest can only help. Meanwhile I'm making soup..not saying what kind though cuz there's a nekkid chickenowl in the room! ;)

LYNND: I hate bad dreams...I hope you are feeling better this afternoon.

MO: LOL..you made me laugh!! GrrrOwl... ;)

TINKA2: Congrats on 50..loved your march!

TINA: There's a lot of sucking in that movie..how could you not like it? ;)

J/LIN: It is a nice song... :)

BEAR: I missed so much of GW this season..but I have seen the last 3 episodes..and I'm so completely confused as to why they would mess up the show this way.

VIG: "I want a Geography book for Christmas..only a Geography book will do..." ;P

HI EBJ!! HI LANI!!

I hope everyone is having a nice Sunday.

Zona said...

MO: I told ya the other day..I shut it down too!! ;)

Lynn D said...

Afternoon Owls,

Bear your dream sounds a bit more graphic than mine. Someone did die in mine but I don't know how. I left the dream when I had just received a box of their momentos that were sent to me via a friend I have not seen in 23 years. The friend that passed in the dream would have no way of knowing the old friend. Weird! I woke up crying. Weird because I rarely cry (get teary eyed once in awhile) but I was all out crying.

It has kind of hung with me all day. I am guess it is the peri menopausal hormone swinging life that I am leading right now.

Thank you for everyone's concern!

I quit watching GW last year. I realized that when her boobs where making more appearences (and really doing a better acting job) than her face that it made me weary to watch. If I want to see lots boobs in a push up bra I only need to look down my own shirt.

Mr. Lynn D has kept up with it this year (imagine that the boobs don't seem to phase him) and has liked the story line turn of events. I kept saying last year I thought they would off the hubby! I kept waiting for it.

Ok back to thinking about a nap. I just have to ignore the Seahawk game (Losers) Mr. Lynn D keeps yelling at.

Love ya guys!

Jodi said...

CAROL - Luv the video!!! Made me smile, especially knowing it came from our dear ZONA!!!

TINA - Too bad you weren't closer, I would've gladly taken her with us Thursday night!!!

Jodi said...

VIG - I'm thinking maybe ZONA needs an Atlas for Christmas!! And I waited for you last night....did you forget?

sacBarb said...

Happy Sunday Owls.

Carol/Zona, I love MB and it made me smile to hear him this morning.

I have a little headache today and Tylenol has not helped. I should have had the white wine last night instead of the red.

sacBarb said...

Birdee, Congrats on being the early nekkid Birdee today. Sorry I don't have any birdee clothes I can give you.

Bebbi, I hate when a knob breaks. I hope Mr. B can fix it for you.

Bear, I'm not sure I like the new GW plot twist. I'll give it a while.

Zona, I hope you are feeling better so you can take care of Mr. Z. Don't get too close to him, so you don't get a relapse.

The nest is a busy place today. Waving a wing at all the other Owls.

sacBarb said...

Dianne. We aren't getting the big game here in Sac. I hesitate to ask, but what's the score?

Tinkatia said...

I am back from my walk. It is a beautiful day her today. Now I must leave my babies while I go to dinner. I don't take them because they have a big black lab and the MIL has a high strung puppy that is one year old but still hasn't calmed down. It's okay if we are outside but it turns the inside of the house to a zoo. My doggies have had a good day so they will rest in their crates while I am gone.

VIG - I think those vitamins gave Tia extra energy but I will be more careful when I answer the phone again. All Vitamins will be put away first along with all other pills.

Must run - Have a good night. I had better set my tape for DH.

Zona - Give Mr. Z plenty to juice and gingerale. That will fix him up.

Jodi said...

BIRDEE - Congrats on first!!! Although I luv your nekkid chickenowl ass, I'm sure it's getting a bit tit nipply for you about now. Maybe someone could find a cute Santa HO outfit for you!!!

Tina~in_ut said...

Well....i survived....and actually liked the movie~ Of course, my little Miss wants to see it again next weekend..what a shocker...and also wants to marry the male lead~ again....a shocker!

Vig~ loved the popcorn, DP, and peanut M&M's~

Zona~ .....and the sucking wasn't too bad either~ :)~

HOdi~ glad i took her~

Tinka~ thanks for thinking of me...i'll try for another 69 later~ :O

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

testing

Tina~in_ut said...

Shirley~ did you pass?

iteach said...

Hello Everyone!!


I feel like a new woman today! That is what a weekend in a hotel with your hubby and a luncheon with Jodi can do for you!

I will be back later.

The kids missed us and we have been playing all kinds of games with them.

Jodi said...

TINA - lol @ the sucking wasn't bad!! In my opinion, that's the best thing!!!

SHIRLEY - I like your little snowman!!! I think it passes the test. :D

Jodi said...

ITEACH - I see you've come up for air!!! And you made it home safely. Again....huge pleasure to meet you both!!!

Mary/MI said...

Birdee, congrats on first. I have missed you nekkidness. Don't get too close to Zona, I think she may have a hot bath running for you!

MEK~Next time you go to church please pray for our Det. Lions! They have not won a game this year!

Bebbi,I hope the Mr was gentle with the knob, and didn't force it!

Whabbear & LynnD I hope you have sweet dreams tonight.Make sure the last thing you see on tv tonight is a comedy. Mr Mary watches the History channel with all the war stories and has many a restless night.

Jodi, it was fun talking to you today. Mr Mary handed me the phone while I was on the throne.
Don't worry, I was done lol!!

Tina~in_ut said...

lol......Mary...that's where i doo most of my talking....ask anyone~ :)~

Bebbilane said...

Mr. Bebbi Fixed My Knob! Thanks for the good luck on it. LOL. He screwed it...... back on.

Bebbilane said...

They make those Bissell Steam Cleaners pretty cheap. The knob was super glued in place and the super glue came off. It was the knob that lets you turn it from floor cleaner to attachment cleaner.

This afternoon I put up curtains. I am NOT good at putting up curtains. Linen & Things has 50% off right now and I bought a WHOLE bunch of curtains and am replacing them all in the dining room and in the living room. I put a pic up on myspace of the ones I got done todAy. I still have to get a new tie back for the middle because I am using one from the old curtains.

Shopper Notice: For any of you who like home stuff, you should go to Linen & Things now

Back to the regularly scheduled programming.

Also, I got some really pretty tie backs for the dining room.

Mary/MI said...

Tina,I always knew you were a "potty" mouth..bwaha ha!!

Bebbi~ AH,The old screw it in fix! Works everytime!

iteach, Jodi said a lot of nice things about you and the Mr. Now, what was SHE like? I bet she was as sweet as she sounds on the phone.

Shirley, don't get near Zona!

Jodi said...

MARY - lol lol lol!!! What's a little pooping between friends? BTW TINA is right....and I've heard the grunting!!! :P

Bebbilane said...

Mary, Mr. Bebbi is always gentle with knobs...lol. Especially when he is fixing them. I swear that man can fix anything! He really can.

Lois Lane said...

How's everyone's weekend winding down? I am pooped!

Thanks for all of the help with the script. You guys are awesome! Thanks so much for rooting' for me.

I'm turning in early. See you all tomorrow! XOXO

Mary/MI said...

Bebbi~ So can Mr Mary. Problem is he forgot where I was broke lol!!!!

East Bay J said...

Bebbi,

Glad Mr. Bebbi's knob is ok now :)

Jodi and Iteach, so glad you got to meet!

Be back later, gotta check MR. EBJs knob lol

iteach said...

Mary- You are so right Jodi is as sweet as she sounds.

I was nervous that I wouldn't know what to say, but there was endless chatter at our table. :)

I also got to talk to Tina on the phone that was an extra added bonus!! :)

Bebbilane said...

Mary & EbJ: I do believe this conversation has taken a really low turn. lol. Like heading to the gutter! lol.

iteach said...

Carol, The teepee was folded, just the way I like it!

iteach said...

Zona- Thank you for sending today's video to Carol, I enjoyed it! :)

Mary/MI said...

Bebbi~ I don't know what you are talking about!! ;-)

iteach~ I had a feeling she was a sweet heart! t-pee? are we back in the gutter lol?

Bebbilane said...

Ohh...yes you do Miss Mary!!! :) lol.

Bebbilane said...

96

Bebbilane said...

oh wait, I can't count..96 now..lol

Bebbilane said...

See, Mary, all this talk has gotten me all flustered, I can't even count to 100 from 94~! Pitiful.

Bebbilane said...

98......yep, I think it is.

Bebbilane said...

99 is so fine

Bebbilane said...

100 reasons why knobs are a good thing and need to be on right to work!

Mary/MI said...

congrats on 100 bebbi!!
knob,knob,knob,knob,knob,knob,knob!!

Bebbilane said...

Night All! My step count was around 8,700. I hope everyone has a great night! Sweet dreams!!

Tinkatia said...

We had a delicious dinner of homemade beef pies and a lovely salad with apple crisp for dessert. I brought home tomorrow night's dinner as well. I also brought home a dozen apples from their trees so I can make my mincemeat first thing tomorrow morning. The raisins and fruit and seeping in rum right now. I don't drink but when it's cooked you just get the flavour not the alcohol.

I am off to bed. Sorry I don't have time to read the comments but I will catch up soon.

Good Night and God Bless us all. Love, Tinka

Wow....such naughty little owls you all are! :D

My phone is acting all wonky...called t-mobile twice...the last straw was when my phone hung up on my MIL! Called her for her b-day!!! Didn't leave a very good impression! If someone is going to hang up on her....it's gonna be me! NOT my phone! kwim?~ :D

Mary/MI said...

Tina-in-trouble-in-Utah~ouch! I hope you called her from your land line and 'splained it to her.

Tinka, m-m-m I haven't had minced meat pie in years. Fed-x me a piece please!

Mary/MI said...

Before I sign off, I wanted to give my input on GW. Someone here asked our opinion...I think it was Tinka.
I watched it last Fri. It was a little garbled to me. I wish they would quit messing with a good thing!
I was hoping it was one of those "dream" things and he had never died.
I will watch it at least one more time to see where they are going with it.
Goodnight all..happy dreamzzzzz

Just_Lin said...

LynnD and Bear I hope you are having a peaceful night's sleep tonight.

Sweet dreams, Hooters!

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

I wonder who's lurking in the shadows waiting to pounce on first and break the tie at the new blog. Scirish? Lynn D? Or will someone else grab first and deny the two the satifaction of beating the other? I guess we will have to wait and see:)
