~ Magic ~


by Tina~in_ut

I was talking to Carol the other night and I don't remember what I said, but she replied, "I'm magic!" Of course I laughed. I had told her that on the blog a couple of days before. And she remembered. We had been talking about blogs and we both knew there wasn't one for Saturday yet. She was going to write one, but I kinda scared her and told her I would write it. After all.....it's her birthday...but I didn't say that to her! She's probably going to kill me, but Carol dear, it's all your fault! You should never have reminded me that you're Magic! :D

For fun, I looked up the word magic in Urban Dictionary. You always find the best definitions there. I think my favorite is "A cigarette with the tobacco at the end removed and loaded with cocaine." lol~ When I told Carol she was magic, I meant that she's special, cool, awesome, does so much for everyone, and makes it look easy. She's a business owner, which alone, takes so much of her time and energy.....especially with the travel industry the way it is. She's a caregiver. Those of us who have or still do care for our parents, know how time consuming that is, although it is incredibly rewarding. She also has a large family that takes up much of her time. And then she has us!

In the big scheme of things, a little blog doesn't seem like a huge deal, but it does take up a lot of Carol's time. Even when someone else writes the blog, she's still responsible for making sure it's formatted correctly and posts on time. And when "something happens" on the blog, she's the one who gets all the calls and emails about it, as if she can make the problem go away or fix it.

Carol, I bow down to you on your special day, for all you do for us.....people you've never even met. I appreciate you more than you'll ever know and am proud to call you Crackwhore! You're Magic! Happy Birthday!

p.s. Feel free to kill me later~ :D

Good morning also to Maureen, Mary, Dianne, Just Lin, Jodi, Zona, Birdee, Carol and welcome back Lynn D!

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

From area 51

Thank you all for understanding my comment regarding mum. I don't want her to die, ever, but living like this is just cruel. You guys are the best! I don't say that often enough, but you are. (((HUGS)))

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

So are we having a porn party later? Did you order the strippers Tina? Mo are you cooking the tripe? Goldie and Jodie you better dust off the tassels! Dianne what are you cooking for us? Um maybe you better be in charge of decorations. ijs :0) OK see you all later!

Mounds of Bacon
Grapefriut

Maureen said...

BIRDEEEEE...that'll teach you to sleep!

TINA...you're funny!

MARY...LOL@ Carol to wear her "birthday suit"! Do you mean on the outside or under her clothes? LOL!

DIANNE...the massage sounds like a great way to end a day of sitting half naked...laying naked!!

LYNN...welcome home! I hope it was a wonderful getaway. Nice to see you back!

SHIRLEY...we knew exactly what you meant.

JUST LIN...good morning to you. I think we're all kinda fond of Tina, too!

ZONA...sweet dreams!

Ok, what the heck...HAPPY 49TH CAROL! You are catching up!! Your day sounds like a fun busy!

goldie said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAROL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Morning Hooters.

tina~ I thought that was a nice blog, no reason for Carol to kill you!!

goldie said...

Shirley, what makes you think my tassles have collected dust.:)

East Bay J said...

Good morning!

HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR CAROL...

Your day sounds busy and fun.

Please elaborate on what is happening at the liquor store!?!?

I'm thinking it is code for hot, kinky porn sex.

A suggestion. Maybe you should do "liquor store" (wink, wink) BEFORE lunch.

Tina you wrote a beautiful blog. And it sounds like you cheaqted this morning to get first!?!?

Can I borrow the password so I can get 1st one time? hee hee.

Shirley I read in area 51 about your mum. I understand too what you are saying, and agree with the others. It shows the love you have for her, and you don't want to see her suffer.

Carol, have a fun day, I heart you and thank you for the blog!

Shout out to all the hooters, hope everyone has a nice day.

We have a busy one, so I will check back later.

Tinkatia said...

Good Morning Shirley. You are the great party person. Let's see what happens for Carol today.

Tinkatia said...

It is almost 9:00 a.m. here and I am so tired I could only remember 3 names at a time. I just noticed that most of the comments were done in the middle of the night. Do you owls never sleep? I think we all need to go to a sleep clinic. I could have been posting in the middle of the night because I couldn't sleep. Little did I know the rest of you were blogging.

Have a great day Carol.

Birdee said...

Hello Tink, Jennifer, EBJ, Shirley, Goldie and.....Lynn, Welcome back!

I hope you are feeling better!

goldie said...

Need a cig birdee???

goldie said...

Ok, I am off to run some errands and then go to the bar!

Friend of my husbands son is in a band and playing at 1:00 today. The invite by the father (who is a respected cardiologist) to please come watch involves booze, food and a promise of dad to get onstage and sing. This all involves a charity fundraiser, so I have no guilt about going drinking in the early afternoon!! :)

I'll be back later, much merrier I am sure....

bonachichi said...

Wow. Someone got the blog up early! I guess that's what happens when a west-coaster(ish) stays up late. It's already morning in the east.

Beautiful blog, Tina! Carol, it's how we feel about you... and then some.

I always try to do something I've never done before on my birthdays. Carol, what new and thrilling experience will you be doing?

Happy Saturday Hooters!

bonachichi said...

Goldie, good idea to have a cardiologist at a bar. Depending on the band and the bar food, he might come in handy.

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Just for fun I looked up what the numbers 4 & 9 meant. This is what I found:

4. A foundation, order, service, struggle against limits, steady growth.

9. Humanitarian, giving nature, selflessness, obligations, creative expression.

I thought it described Carol pretty good. *insert Twilight Zone music*

whabbear said...

Hooray for Carol... and Tina! :)

bonachichi said...

In another 20 years, Carol will have an entire year of 69's to look forward to!

Just_Lin said...

Carol I hope your day is going wonderfully well, full of pampering, love and smiles.

Bonacci Great observation! LOL

I went out and had breakfast with my ex fiance and now he is driving back to Portland. We had a great time visiting yesterday and today.

Just_Lin said...

Bonacci I only have 7 more years to wait. : )

whabbear said...

Shirley: I would hate to have to witness my Mom or Dad suffering and in pain... so I totally got what you said! My sister, the one who's had the eye problems over the last two years, was really bummed out when I talked to her last night. She's been in constant eye pain for two years now. Two weeks ago, she had a brief respite for about four days when the pain receded, and we were all filled with hope. Sadly, the pain came back with its usual vengence last weekend. :(

whabbear said...

Anybody heard from SacBarb lately?

whabbear said...

J/L: 18 years until my 69! LOL!

Just_Lin said...

Bear Brat!!!! LOL

Just_Lin said...

Carol Your QOTD is even funnier when read right after your birthday song. LOL

Mary/MI said...

Whabby, thanks for your sister's update. I am sorry to hear about her pain. It has to be hard for her, and for you to see her that way.
Your comment reminded that I neve got back to everyone about my brother Joe's progress with his cancer a while back. He called me last week and told me that his Dr.gave him a clean bill of health. We are grateful! Thanks to all who supported him with good thoughts or prayers.
I am off again, busy busy! We leave for Vegas on Monday.

Bonacci I hope you are doing well today.

Diane, I can't believe all the problems you have had with your teeth! You will have to keep big & hard objects out of you mouth1 ijs!

Mary/MI said...

Diane I didn't mean to imply that you had more than one mouth lol That was supposed to be an exclamation pt!!!!!!

Tinkatia said...

Carol - Your day sounds great.

Tinkatia said...

Birdee - Congrats on 69

Tinkatia said...

Whabbear - Sending positive energy for your sister. I live with arthritis pain and some days are the 'pits'.

Tinkatia said...

We are just heading off to buy things for the cabin and trailer so I don't have to pack things back and forth. I want a small T.V. for the bedroom that plays DVD's. I have been using my macbook but carrying it back and forth. I bought a little Eureka vacuum that will fit nicely. I want down pillows for both places. I also want beds for the puppies. I wish I had more energy and I would be enjoying it more. Have a great day everyone.

JustLin; No time like the present to start! Happy 69!

bonachichi said...

Bear; Doesn't marijuana ease eye pain? Can your sister not get on the medical marijuana program?

Thank you to all of you who sent kind wishes my way. Really though, I'm doing great. I just picked myself up, dusted myself off and am back to seeing what other thrills await me.
