I wonder how others see me, when I hear something said about me (good or bad) I truly think. Is that how I am seen? I know myself very well when it comes to my daily activities, I know what makes me tick. But when I have interactions with others and I walk away, I wonder so, what did they just see?
Thru e-mails and msgs from all my internet friends, I have learned so much more about myself thru somewhat strangers that I did not know, I found a different me. When I read these exchanges and a kind word or a compliment is sent my way, I find myself saying "who me"? I go back and reread the exchange as a third party, cause I can't wrap my finger around the concept that others have of me. And at the same time, I am so appreciative of the words.
It is like a gate that has open for me to pass thru, and as I pass thru, there is a different me? yet the same?
This arousal of a different me, got me thinking of my SSO, and all the things he has always said about me. Now that I think back, he was the first to see and comment on this different me, however I blew his words off, as I have this silly school girl notion, that if you love deeply you see what others don't, because of the love.
Closely coming into my 50th yr of life, I have come to the realization that I have a lot more to learn about myself. And this different me, just proves it so.

Enjoy :O)
I forgot to thank Sandie in the vid for thinking up the idea for the Traveling Necklace, so Sandie Thank You. I noticed in the vid, I kept saying My Traveling Necklace, of course it is not mine. I guess its the control freak in me, as I think everything is mine..
There are quite a few Aloe Plants in my window at my office that you will see in the vid, I actually made a vid about my aloe plants and their orgin, I will post that vid in the upcoming week.
And the phone ringing, hmmm... I wonder if it was JodiHO! lol
This was fun, but I gotta tell ya I did not do it in one take, I needed two..
:O)

Aha everyone is sleeping in!
LYNND: Uh-uh...lol..Congrats on First!
Off to read the blog!
Morning Glories!
Congrats on first sexy M & M Lynn D!
Carol first of all I love Hydrangeas! Next to Lilacs they are my favorite flowers.
Like you I sometimes wonder if the real me shines through or for me the surface persona is all they see. Sometimes I worry about being misunderstood but I am slowly coming to the conclusion, I am me and that is good enough. Worrying does no good it only slows me down and makes me insecure. So I will develope and change at the pace set out for me. Because really I realize the real me is changing and growing all the time. If I can accept it then I have accomplished being me.
Hey Zona thank you!
LYNN...yes, I am still sleeping
CPGEM: Great blog today. I know what you mean about saying "who me??". I have never, ever been able to take a compliment. I can never see the good in myself that others seem to see.
When is comes to the annoying part of myself..the worry..the over sensitivity..THAT I see. I know it's there. I sometimes think that maybe I've gotten better, only to find out I'm only fooling myself. That everyone else still sees these flaws in me. Oh well..I am what I am, and that's all I can be.
Thanks for the introspective blog today CPGEM.
Zona shhhh Mo is still sleeping!
Great post Zona! That is what I am trying to move passed too. The over sensitivity.
Good Morning Hooters!!
Congrats on 1st Lynn, Mo and a big old lovin' SNAP to Zona!!!!!!
I think I am pretty self-confident, but sometimes I think I can come off as bossy. I don't think that is in my intentions, but I am what I am.
THANK YOU to everyone who voted for my nephew's prom. I really appreciate all the effort. Mary- thanks for putting it on your Facebook page. I have not heard the final result yet... I am about to go see if we did it. I'll be back with a report......
xxoo
CPGEM: And what do I see in you? I see a caring, kind porn loving Jersey Girl with a wonderful sense of humor about herself and the things around her. I see a lady that loves her family, and whose family loves her. I also see a sensitivity and concern for all those she knows.
I also see a friend who knows me so well...that she can pinpoint just when Happy Blue will help.
You are a GEM... and that's very easy for me to see. :)
Good morning Lynn D (congrats on 1st), Zona and Mo.
You guys have always seen a different me than I have have. I sometimes wish I could meet her too.
Good Morning Shirley!! I hope things go well for your Mom. Lean on us here for support if you need it. :)
The results of the contest will be announced Monday- so I will let you all know if we won or finished second. Either way- we gave it a great try against a much bigger community.
ok, now I am awake-ish!!
LYNN...congrats on 1st! When I see your name, I see such compassion and caring and humor, and friendship and beauty...
ZONA...How ya doing? When I see your name I see someone that doesn't see herself as others do. I see humor, loyalty, compassion, creativity, talent, loveliness and empathy...
CAROL...when I see your name I see laughter, porn, tripe and bacon! I also see someone with a ginormous heart, I see your smiles thru your words, I see someone that would fight till the death for their family. I see someone that cares so deeply that maybe you don't even realize how deep it goes. I see a friend.
Oh my...the three of you are so similar...yet so very unique in your own ways. What a lovely gift I have recieved in being able to call you friends.
CAWFEE is on- help yourself. But I don't do breakfast this early- so your on your own or you better hope Shirley is providing today
MO: "Lullaby and goodnight..may your dreams all be pornish.." ;)
GOLDIE: I voted...and OUCH! Ooops...shhhhh...Bossy? pshaw..you're a sweetie. :)
LYNND: The things you do show your compassion and your caring.
When you get a handle on that worrying..could you give me lessons? It's something I truly want to change.
GOLDIE...I don't see you as bossy. I see you as someone with strong beliefs in doing right over wrong. And your dedication to those you care about to protect them when you think they need protecting. Good qualities in my book.
SHIRLEY...I sure hope that one day soon you do meet the SHIRLEY we see. I see someone that cares so much, is so giving, creative and gives her joy to others before giving it to yourself. Prayers to you Mum that all goes well on MOnday.
I am so glad all of you are YOU.
Goldie I can't wait to hear the results! I am really really hoping they won!
Goldie I don't know if you are bossy but you are hilarious and loving and you get my weird sense of humor! LOL
Mo you know I love you and appreciate all that is wrapped up in your lovely piggy package!
Shirley we see a funny, loving and intelligent individual. I hope your Mom is going to be okay! I will add her to my prayer list!
Zona you are a nut and I love you for it! Your posts always brighten my day!
Coffee must find coffee
LYNN...the cawfee is in Wisconsin with the bossy one!! bwahaha
SHIRLEY: You just have to believe..because the person we see is the person you are.
MO: You are an incredibly caring individual who takes great pride in her work and is so completely fair. You are funny..and that's an understatement..kind and always concerned about those around you.
Umm..and thank you MO..but, well you know... :)
ZONA...I get it. And I get you!
Hey I would walk a thousand miles for cawffee even if the bossy one has it! LMAO
I am blog hogging here. Just waiting for that breakfast I just know in my heart that SHIRLEY will serve up...**HINT HINT HINT**
Hope my growling fat stomach doesn't wake up any owls still sleeping...
GOLDIE: I agree with LYNN...you have the wackiest sense of humor, the things you say..oh my. And the way you adore your family..your garndbabies..your children..your husband...that speaks volumes to your heart.
Going to go see what needs doin'..since I didn't dood anything yesterday.
BBL...and have a great day all!
LYNN... I wish one day we could sit across a table with steaming hot cawfees in front of us. And maybe a danish or two, too!!!
Zona I will tell you a little secret I have a love hate relationship with my family! LOL Most of the time I love them to pieces....then they find my last nerve! ROFLMAO (ah my sense of humor rears it's ugly head)
Mo I am down with that and will throw in a few Margaritas! I know deep down in my bones we will meet up and the world will never be the same! :)
Ok must catch up on my morning news and have to get ready as I have our rest stop fundrasier today. Oy Vey!
Sacbarb are you out there? I saw you posted yesterday and I have missed you so much!
Why thank you my soul sisters for the kind words. NOW get a damn cup of cawfee and enjoy your day! (was that bossy or what?) LOL
I posted a couple pics of Jodi on myspace.
DIANNE: I actually made it to the post office yesterday! Guess what..the Mr. is missing you too! He wore his Bronco hat to work today... :)
SHIRLEY: I'll be praying for your mom..
JAX: Thinking of you..
SACBARB: YAY! You're back! 'bout frickin' time...lol..
JODI: Thanks..the prick site is doing just fine..it's on my arm you goof!! :D
Going to run and check out GOLDIE and JODI's pics..and then do something around this house. Mmmm..hmmm... ;)
**LONG POST ALERT**
Can I share something that happened at work yesteday?
We raise a lot of money for charities at our office. We have about 110 people and everyone has been very generous when they can be. We mostly collect for United Way, Susan G. Komen, scarves for kids and now is Harvest for Hunger. For the month of March you can donate $25 dollars and wear jeans everyday. Or donate 1.25 a day to wear jeans. So far, this part of the donation process has raised over $900. This money is locked up and secure. There will be a bake sale next week. We also have a box for food collection and jar at the reception desk for additional monetary donations.
Our office is locked. You need your name badge to swipe in or else the receptionist has to buzz you in.
Yesterday, someone stole the jar and the donation money. My blood is boiling. How could someone basically steal food out of a hungry person's mouth? And most likely someone you work with day after day. Someone that works in an office with 109 other people that would help them in a heartbeat if they really needed it.
I am hoping against all hope that someone merely moved the jar. Our office is hosting a Continuing Education class that is open to any P.T, O.T, S.T or MSW and there will be a lot of non-employees in the bldg.
I am just so mad about this...can ya tell!
**end of rant**
MO: That's just awful! I'll be praying that the money is found..without one penny missing!
Breakfast is served!
Vat of cawfee with IV drip for Lynn D
Dannish for Mo
Extra Lg Protien shake for Sandie
Slim fast for Bebbi and Tinks
DP for Zona and Tina/Eunice
Diet Mt Dew for Donna
Gingerbread pancakes for Dianne
Mounds of Bacon for Carol
Eggs Benedict for Bon'O
Homemade hashbrowns for Iteach
Eggs
Toast
Fresh fruit
Juices
Coffee
Tea
Water
Milk
Enjoy!
ZONA...thanks! It sure makes me sad to think about it. I think I will stop at the store later and buy a couple of things to add to the box on Monday.
Oh SHIRLEY...just in time!!
I am taking some of Carol's bacon mound...sshhhhh, don't tell her! And some scrambled eggs, toast, fruit, cawfee and a DANISH!! YUMM!
Yummo, Breakfast!
:O)
MO: If I can help let me know.
SHIRLEY: Yummy..thanks for breakfast and the DP! I'm gonna sneak one of DIANNE's pancakes..I'm sure she won't mind. ;)
CPGEM: Good Morning! As you can see, I'm doing lots of work around the house! ;)
Lynnd:
Happy 1.. I loved the pic too, and what it symbolized,it took me longer to find the pic then write the blog..
Mo,
You can sleep and type, Wow, that is quite amazing.. lol
Zona,
I would not exactly call being sensitive a flaw, its you, and that is what makes you so special.
Lynnd:
All we can do is be who we are, its the learning process that makes one grow
Goldie and Jodi,
Glad you enjoyed lunch.. Fun!
Shirley,
It is very hard to see what other ppl see in us, hence my blog, you have to trust others at times in what they are saying. Especially here on the nest, I do know these owls are very honest, and they do not say what they don't feel. And btw, I have met the other Shirley, she is fantastic.. :O)
Zona,
Loved the description of "porn Jersey Girl", and the rest, well I am blushing, thanks for seeing all you see.
CAROL - Luv your blog today!!!
I evidentally am seen as the goof I am. I got the most hilarious b'day cards this week from my friends.....mostly with a theme involving BOOBS!!! Imagine that!!! Thanks once again to all my HOoter friends. You are the "yellow" in my days and the ones that let me be me!!!
Waving a wing @ LYNN D, ZONA, MO, SHIRLEY, GOLDIE, and CAROL!!!
I just got back from my friends wake. What a beautiful tribute 2 her!!! Can't wait til Sam's concert....but until then I have a date with the washing machine.
Mo,
I see ya took my bacon, which is kinda weird, cause you are eating yourself.. lol
JodiHo!
At least you have a date.. :O)
Glad the tribute was special.
Mo,
That is awful, I am going to hope as you hope, that someone just moved the jar. Then I think.. if someone did take the money, how bad off must they be, still no excuse, just a different look on how desperate some ppl are..
Goldie..
If you are going to boss me around about Cawfee, than that is just fine, cause I love my Cawfee..
:O)
Mo,
When I see your name, I see the cutest Miss Piggy ever. And when I read your posts, your words show the caring person that you are..
SWAK..
:O)
Morning All!! errrr..Afternoon
Great blog Carol!!
It's kinda funny how impressions of people are formed. For instance, people have told me that I have an aggressive personality. I don't see that at all! I can be a bit bossy, but I think that comes from being a manager for years.
Zona, I don't see you as oversensitive at all. I see you as someone that cares and will always be there for your friends.
Shirley, I see you as wonderful, caring person with a wicked sense of humor, who would be fun to be around.
Lynndee, Your intense caring and dedication to what you believe in inspires me.
Mo, You are a sweet little piggy who is not afraid to reach out when someone is hurting or needs a hug.
Goldie....Bossy? Naw....organized and dedicated to your friends? For sure!!!
Carol, You are the den mother of us all....Where would we be without you??
Jodi....You ARE a goof, in the best way!!!! Happy belated boob birthday!
Good morning!
Congrats on 1st Lynn! :)
I just read the comments and have to leave, will read the blog when I get home.
Goldie I voted yesterday, and voted a few more times LOL. Just reloaded the website and didn't change names or anything. Is that cheaqting?
MO I am so sorry to hear of the theft of the donation money! It is hard to believe that a co-worker would do that.
We had someone stealing at work a few years ago, we always left our purses in a drawer, but then had to start locking them up.
Never did find out who it was. I would look at people and wonder if they were so desperate that they would jeopardize their job to steal from someone they worked with.
BBL, have a nice day everyone!
Hello everyone, happy Saturday!
I'm off for a walk.
Carol, I so enjoyed your blog today. It had me thinking about you and then I sat reflected about myself. I love all the blogs. Just life has been a tad bit busy lately.
freaking mother of godforsaken pearl.....who woke me up?
Oh, shoot, Goldie, I'm sorry for not voting for your nephew. I saw something about it and I was going to follow up on it. Then as usaual I got distracted and forgot.
Sorry!!!
Carol~ i love your blog. It's funny.....i see one person on the blog and another on the phone. You are a strong, loving, kind person...and funny as all get out!!!! I'm glad to call you friend~
Mo- you have every right to rant! Wow, my blood pressure would be sky high right now. I'm sorry this happened at your work place.
Good morning, Tina!
yay......i got 50! Shirley....sit up and take notice! :)~
And shirley....you are so funny and sharp and don't give yourself enuf credit. You can do anything you set your mind to. I'll tell you this, and I'll tell you this publicly....quite a few people deleted me a while back from myspace. I understood why......people were confused, but you were the only friend i wanted back.....why? because I like you! I see how incredibly hilarious you are!!!!! :D thank you for being my friend!~ (that sounded like a song~)
I hope everyone has a great day today! I'm going to go look for signs of spring.
Iteach~ YOU lady are the strongest of us all. You are incredible~ How you deal with adversity is mind boggling. AND your sense of humor is intact. I love how funny you are and I've missed you~
Zona~ this is going to be fun~ freaking get over yourself...we're all sensitive and scared. Some of us have just learned to hide it better~ Actually, you really have gotten better.....remarkably so...you just don't realize it. Who would ever have thought that you would get on a plane and come visit Utah?
You have an incredibly wonderful husband and....i'm sure an equally nice sister...if I could ever meet her...ijs~ You are funny and unbelievably kind and generous. You are so strong when your friends really need you to be...and for that, I thank you~
Mo~ omg...your dry sense of humor really makes me laugh...you are so caring and kind and bacony~ You always fight for the underdog and for what is just and fair. I love that about you! oh....and it doesn't hurt that you are crafty!
I just had a thought.....Zona.....stop thinking that i didn't mention that you are crafty...cuz you are...i just didn't think of it when I wrote yours! (do i know you or what?!)
LynnD~ congrats on first~ I'm so out of order....i thought i wrote to you already~ I love your sense of humor as well and you are so pretty in your green~ I love how giving you are. You don't just talk the talk...you walk the walk! :D
Thank you Tina, I missed you too.
Yesterday was a hard day for me. I had a kid come to school with a shoe imprint on his forehead that he received from home. I wanted to puke all day long.
You guys are so good with words!
I'm not very good with writing emotions on paper.
It is neat how to see how much joy we have brought to everyone and all the new grey cells that have been added to our brains since we started this journey.
Oh, shoot I can't even finish, the kids are fighting.
Yikes!!
Tina,
What are you saying? I am not crafty? :O)
Iteach,
I commend you daily, for you entire job, mom, teach, wife, daughter, friend.. I miss ya as well..
I just don't know how you do it, I would have went to that home and put my shoe print on the animal that did it to the child, heck I would have put 2 shoe prints.. and then I would have puked..
Goldie~ I don't think you're bossy at all. I've never thought of you that way. I think of you as a fun loving grandma....with a dog~ What's really funny is....i think of you and LynnD as twins separated at birth....always have. :D
Freaking Mother of Godforsaken Pearl~ Carol....ur porn crafty!~
Jodi~ you're so cute and funny~ You are fun loving and have the best laugh! AND....you are amazing on the phone! wait....that sounded pornish.....but you know what i mean~
Tina,
Ahhh.. now thats better..
:O)
good afternoon everyone I see you survived Fri the 13th . Now who got 69 today?
for real?
come on
LMAO,Tina how did you let that slip by you?
BBL have to read the blog
Scirish~ you are one hilarious hooter~ again....you're one with a dry sense of humor that just makes me laugh! You have the best stories~ And you're ability to get first...amazing~ :)~
LynnD Congrats on reclaiming your place as #1 today!
Carol If you are "porn crafty" does that mean you make cards with some interesting pop-ups? LOL
This was a great blog today. I think a lot of us harbor false beliefs about ourselves, probably since childhood. Some of those beliefs served a very good purpose once upon a time but now they can hold us back. We evolve and change over time and, hopefully, become wiser and stronger.
I think all my Owl friends are exceptional human beings. Kind, smart, witty, generous, loveable, talented and crafty (in a good way). xoxo
EBJ~ you have a hilarious sense of humor and a Poe-fect birdy and a Paulicious kitty~ You're an amazing marcher and also have the best stories~
Oh, and I forgot.....pornish!
Mary~ Oh dear Lord!!!! YOU honey....omg...i just love you! You are so upbeat and nice and funnier than all get out! AND HOT!!!! You're so hot! :D
JustLin~ You are so deadpan funny! I hope you understand what that means.....unreal....i think i'm reading something serious..and BAM! And your banter with Lani....so funny and loving in a ho sort of way~
Me~ as one of my friends calls me....I'm a bossy heifer! (did I spell that right?) Others have called me a B*t*h (lent, you know) and others just plain funny. lol....i think they are right~ I crack myself up....and the other two..well...i am the oldest~ :)~
Great blog today, Carol! i've read everybody's comments, about themselves and each other, and I think you've already put into words how I see most of you here in the nest. You're fabulous, every one!
Even Zona. LOL!
Where's MEK today?
LOL@Tina calling Mary HOT! She IS!
Bear~ i was thinking of writing urs just cuz i knew you'd show up! You are the biggest trouble maker here! omg!!!! lmbo! You are wise and funny....and if memory serves me right, gay!~ I'm on the phone with Zona as we speak.....and you should have heard her when she read your post...."what is that supposed to mean?!!!!" (screaming!) lmbo! thanks for the laugh~
Carol,I love every fricken(for Tina) thing about you! I am anxiously waiting for more flip vids from you.
Tina my dahlin' ditto :) I won't rest until I meet you!
Whabbear, I knew you were a bundle of joy the day I wrapped my short stubby arms around you lol!
EBJ,You and Mr EBJ are sweet & sharing fur/feather loving people.

SacBarb, You have the sweetest,genteelest, personality. I loved meeting you.
MEK,what can I say? You are my ray of Arizona sunshine! Send some our way will yah?
I haven't met the rest of you but I have loved "carousing". with you here in the nest, Shirley with her delish. breakfasts,LynnD with her sunny "Morning Glories", Zona with her sweet shyness,Mo with her tender pork" lol,Goldie making me laugh,Jodi & iteach loving your sharing the family with us,Scirish,love your positive attitude, so many more I love like Diane, BonO, Vig,Lani, Bebbi, Kgrl, Joey, Caryn,Tinka, LL, Susan, whew! I love you all and all your sweet/quirky/ funny/sick/nasty/tender/sexy/virginal (gone too far?)ways lol!!
BBL treadmill is screaming my name!
You guys always have such nice things to say about me. Maureen, Lynn D, Zona, Carol, Scirish, Tina and Mary thank you. Carol said to trust you and Goldie said to lean on you but I'm afraid that if I do that too much I will fall. I think that is why I delete so many of my comments before I hit publish.
Has anyone ever considered that maybe Eunice is channelling Tina? ijs
Shirley, you have a lot of strong Owls who will catch you in their loving wings! Not like the Gecko lol!
Traveling Necklace vid coming soon
Oh my goodness Shirley, don't ever worry about falling, do you know how many owls will catch you. Hopefully you will fall on MO, as piggys are strong..
:O)
Carol, can't wait or video!
Catch ya all later. Mr Mary is taking me out to dinner....
Traveling Necklace vid is up, its at the end of the blog for today..
Steven Spielberg I am not.. :O)
Fun..
Mary,
Great Comment!
Enjoy your dinner with Mr. Mary..
Congrats on first LynnD!
Carol: Great talky blog! Loved the traveling necklace adventures.
I used to be so focused on how people "see" me. Now, I am more like, just be how you truly are and it will come through. I try to go that, even though I am truly an emotional and "heart on my sleeves" type of person, I just really try to not worry about it. There are some people that can't really stand me and others who can't stand life without me. Either way, I am fine..I feel that way about others too!
I am TIRED! OMg! What a fun couple of days. The party was a huge success and we had so much fun! I am hoping the news has a segment on it, if they do, I will share the link. It was just a fun day and so many kids had such a blast!
Going to read comments...
Oh and I have 16,427 steps! I went on the Elliptical machine for 15 minutes (my new record)..that machine is TOUGH!

Shirley: You made me laugh when you said, "I wish I could meet her too"..too funny. I hope that your mom is doing fine and getting ready for her surgery Monday, as much as you can prepare for that sort of thing.
Whabby: You are pretty fantastic yourself and you know more about the stars than I ever will.
Mary: I think Tina is trying not to "69" for Lent. Which got me to thinking,...
Tina: if you were busy chatting on here and it just SO HAPPENED to be number 68 but you wanted to make one more comment, would you wait until someone else posted?
Mary: Also, I read "vaginal"..instead of "virginal"..had to look at that twice..LOL!
Bebbi~ see the blog on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 "Me, a chatter?" #68-ish~ You'll get your answer~ :D
Bebbi~ I think you are happy and bubbly and exercise-ee~ (I'm making up words today!) I think it's great that you volunteer and help others and won your party~ :D
Shirley~ I don't want to be channeled....but it would be fun to channel her~
Carol~ LOVED ur video~ that is awesome~
Tina: LOL! So, did you ever remember what you wanted to say? (on March 10th).
Tina: I think you are a sex-luvin wild woman. But lately, I am having second thoughts...maybe in another 28 days that will change again. ;)
Bebbi~ I don't know what that is! Is it something to eat? Is it a form of exercise? Is it something you wear? :D
Tina: Definitely something you eat.
...sometimes it is something you wear...
...always a form of exercise.
Ohh..I got 111..is that like 11:11..can I make a wish?
I think if we get 111, it means we can make a wish and it will come true!
not leaving it on 113, considering yesterday was friday the 13th and this year we have 3 Friday the 13ths.
Hi Hooters!!!!
Can I just tell you what a wonderful time I had at our Jodi's daughter symphony orchestra concert today! WOW- those kids are fabulous! I met Jodi's mom and dad in law and sister-in-law too. Nice folks. But SAM blew me away- what a talented girl and it all seemed so easy for her. And let me tell you that our JODI is one proud MAMA, and rightfully so!
Carol- loved the video of the traveling necklace.
Shirley- you lean on me whenever you need to. I will be your sister for WI.
Iteach- thanks for the thought- I'll let you know how the voting went on Monday..:)
Tina~~~~ :)
Oh, Carol, I so loved your video!!!!!
CPGEM: I loved the video! What a well traveled necklace we have already!
JODI: No boobs from me...I'm ashamed to say, I didn't even think of it...imagine! ;)
SCIRISH: Hmmm...agressive? I don't think so..I don't see it at all. You're kind and caring...and you have great taste...afterall, you love The Rat Pack too.. ;)
ITEACH: Simply put..you are just like sunshine.
Whew! I'm just getting here for the first time today! I haven't read the comments yet but couldn't wait to comment on the video!
Carol, you can call it your necklace anytime! And, I really think it's Tina we should be thanking as she told us the necklace story and made me wonder why we couldn't do something like it.
It gave me such a thrill to see my necklace with Carol!! I think this is going to be such fun for me! LOL Oh, the stories that necklace is gonna tell me . . . :)
Okay, off to read the comments!
TINA: I loved all of your descriptions of everyone. You have a wonderful insight...and yep, you sure do know me!
I think you are one of the most caring and patient people I know. You have such a good heart. When times are rough..you are always there to help myself, as well as others, smile and feel better. I just love ya kiddo. :)
BTW...actually, I'm not very crafty at all.. ;)
Shirley< > I thought you meant you wish you could meet the person we all think you are. Not another Shirley..who is someone else..okay, all, I am lost and confused again. (AS USUAL).
J/LIN: I just LOVE your sense of humor! You pick up on things that just make me laugh and laugh!
JODI: You're strong and yet you're a mush..you care so much..and you can be such a goof! TINA's right, you have the best laugh...and you always make me laugh. Thank you for being you.
BEAR: I'm still thinking about what you wrote. :I ..... :D Silly ol' BEAR..lol..
MARY: OMG..you are so funny..the things you write sometimes! You are also soooo thoughtful and sweet. :)
BEBBI: I see you as a motivator who really wants help people and is truly happy when anyone succeeds. That to me shows what a giving person you are.
Zona: Thanks! I see you as Tink's daughter ;) And, someone who seems fun to hang with.
Congrats on first, LynnD--and hello!!
Carol, I think there's something about reaching our age (as I'll be 50 this summer) that makes us feel more comfy in our skin and more able to "hear" and accept the good things about ourselves. I know just what you're saying and I had that happen last night at a Tastefully Simple party I had. The attendees had to introduce themselves and say what they liked about me (embarrassing!) and several people said it was because I was always smiling and happy. It really made me stop and think about how others see me. I mean, I am happy but I guess I didn't realize I portray that! With that said, I still see my flaws in strobe lights . . .
Shirley, thanks for the extra lg protein shake, sweetie! Prayers to your Mom for her surgery.
I really think all of you are terrific. Each one brings something different to the nest, making it a very fun place to be. Thank you!! And, I agree with what everyone said about each one of you.
Bebbi, so glad you had a good day at your party!
TINA: Pretend I used good English when I posted to you...kay?? I am just so tired today. Yep...that's my story and I'm stickin' to it!! ;D
"myself"??? sheesh... ;)
BEBBI: Wish away...and I sure hope whatever you wish, comes true!!
Ok..I have got to rest my eyes, head and various other body parts...I hope everyone has a wonderful evening!!
Sandie: Thanks! It was a really good day..I was so happy seeing all those kids get stuff. AND, it was super fun going to Walmart last night to buy so many toys!! Oh, I was in heaven!
Hi SANDIE! Well, I sure think you're a happy person too!
Wow..that's 4 people that I know of so far that are turning 50 this year. Cool. :)
Night everybody!
Bebbi,
So very glad your day turned our well, good for you...
Sandie,
Yes, sorry, Tina's blog started the traveling necklace, so Thank You Tina.
It was very neat to have your necklace with me in NJ, it is really very pretty, and so very light, it looked good on me, better than it did on Mickey.
I believe Bebbi gets it next, correct?
Glad everyone liked the vid..
:O)
Hi Zona,
Sorry for the interruption today on our chat, my client saw me thru the window, even tho I was closed so he came in for a inquiry.. I am kinda glad he came in before I did the vid, cause I wonder what he would have thought if he saw Mickey on my coat rack with a necklace on.. lol...
Oh yay! I am excited.
Hi Zona!!! I think you and I are quite a bit alike. :) Hey, maybe we could throw a big 50th party for all of us??? If the necklace can travel, so can we!!!!
Carol, yes, Bebbi is next!
Sandie,
I know it is strange when we don't see ourselves in a way others do..
It is as the blog says, we have more learning to do..
Carol, LOL @ your client coming in! I'm sure he'd think you'd lost your marbles if he saw you talking to Mickey with a necklace on, on a coat rack. LOL!
How long do I keep it? one week?
Sandie,
I have Bebbi address, so I will send it out the beginning of next week.
Bebbi,
I will post a comment here and let you know the day I mail it..
Sandie,
.... Exactly .....
MO??? Where are youuuuu???? Guess what? Mr. Sandie got the invitation to his high school reunion in Sept!! We'll be in Cleveland!! Start warmin' up that coffee (oops, cawfee)!!!
Cool, I am going to my Dad's next weekend..so it will travel to Kentucky and TENNESSEE!! :) Yippee yi yay! What fun!
Goldie,
I am so glad you were able to see Sam shine, that must have been a sight to see. And I am sure Jodi was beaming, I am so happy for the whole Jodi fam..
And thrilled that you went..
Kudos to you...
Shoot Sandie, Mr. Bebbi and I have really good friends who live in Cleveland!
140
Sandie,
So fun, Cleveland in September..
Where is mo?????
Bebbi,
One week is a good turn around time, if it extends a few days, I am sure that is fine..
Sandie...
"cawfee" lol...
Carol, I don't think it will. If I get it sometime next week, i can have it sent off by Monday the week following. I will only go to my Dad's for Saturday and Sunday.
I have always wanted to go to the Rock Hall of Fame. We drive through Cleveland when we go further up North. But I haven't been that way for a couple of years.
Gosh, my necklace is going more places and having more fun than I am. :(
Bebbi, blog buddy meeting in Cleveland! (Mo is going to make me a latte--I'll bet she'll make one for you, too.) :)
Well, I'm off to read a little before bed. I'm reading a good book for book club called All Over But the Shoutin' by Rick Bragg.
And I never do this, but for some reason I'm reading The Necklace at the same time!!
Goodnight owl friends.
Goodnite Sandie, wow two books at one time.. I love to read, but don't think I can do that, I would certainly get confused..
Enjoy them both...
Bebbi,
Sounds good, whatever is better for you..
I am turning in for the nite..
I have a long day tomorrow, I have a baby shower, about 1hr away from where I live.. Its by the Jersey Shore, actually its very close to the "Stone Pony" Bruce Springsteens old stoppin ground... Which is also the same area where JBJ lives..
Gosh, Jersey has lots of talented peeps, and it even got the traveling necklace..
See ya all tomorrow..
Happy Saturday!!
quick, quick fly in -
Waving howdy to EVERYONE!!
Hope everyone is having an EXCELLENT weekend...
I'll be back on by Monday nite!!
;-)
Hiya!
I tried to watch the Traveling Necklace video, and it keeps freezing up on me.
I am sure it is my tired old computer.
Carol I am always AMAZED at your thoughtful blogs. I tried to think of my self being the host of the blog (is that what you are called? LOL) and I would not be able to think of anything to write every day. I'd be begging everyone for topics!
I have found over time that I am more comfortable with myself than I was 25 years ago.
An example is when I went to the DMV last week, I changed my weight from my 25 year ago weight to what it is now. I finally realized that it is not true and no one would believe it so I changed it then showed MR. EBJ when I got the new license in the mail yesterday.
I just realized that I got the new license in just over a week! WOW, pretty fast for our bogged down state dept!
Tina and Mary you are so kind in your words, thank you.
I wish everyone here could meet, I'm so glad that some of us have had the chance, but would love a meeting of everyone together.
My kitty Paula has not been eating good the past couple days, so I have a feeling we will be making a trip to the vet this coming week. I can tell she is a little off, not her usual frisky self.
OK I must go clean up the kitchen!
Goldie Your excitement about being there for Sam's concert was so infectious, I got excited, too! How fun to share that special time with Jodi and her family. I wish we all could have been there.
Jodi Congrats on having such a super, duper talented daughter. Give Sam an extra hug and kiss from me.
EBJ I'm sorry that Paul isn't feeling too well. I hope she perks up soon.
I keep forgetting to look at the necklace vid. I'll go do that now.
Carol Fun vid. The necklace got a nice little tour of your office. Question: Have you actually put the necklace on? You must do that, you know. :)
Sweet dreams, Hooters!
