Signs of the Times

by Jodi


Reminder for tomorrow.

Royal Apathy.

Stuck at your job.

Same title and salary.


Certificate of uselessness.

Royally annoyed.

Keeping the boss miserable.

 Newspaper headline inadvertently creates new Asian stereotype.

It's alarming how charming I feel
And so pretty
That I hardly can believe I'm real
See the pretty girl in that mirror there?
what mirror where?
Who can that attractive girl be?
Such a pretty face
Such a pretty dress
Such a pretty smile
Such a pretty me!

I feel pretty
Oh so pretty
That the city should give me its key
A committee
Should be organized to honour me
I feel dizzy
I feel sunny
I feel fizzy and funny and fine
And so pretty
Miss America can just resign...

la la la la la...la lala!

Bebbilane said...

Those are funny Jodi!! LOL...

Michael: You are looking so lovely, pretty beautiful today! :) Yes.... I love that song!!! :)

Tinka said...

Good Morning Michael and Bebbi. You are both looking gorgeous today. I am still getting over the flu but I wanted you to know I see you in the nest.

Tinka said...

Jodi - Thanks for the laugh. I loved them.

Jodi said...

MICHAEL - If the tiara fits....;)

BEBBI - This was NOT what I sent in....but made me chuckle this morning. Good morning!!

Tinka said...

It is raining today but it is supposed to be warm and sunny by May lst. I hope so.

Jodi said...

TINKA...I hope I didn't run you over!! I hope the sun is shining on you today ♥

Jodi said...

10!!!

Tinka said...

Tina - When I feel better I will be ready for my lessons on "moaning".

Tinka said...

Jodi - You ran over me but I wasn't hurt. Glad to see you in the nest today.

Jodi said...

TINKA - Oh, shoot....well, it is a gloomy day here, too. But we are suppose to have a gorgeous day tomorrow :)

Tinka said...

I can play at my farms because I can do that without thinking. I have to think in order to write and that hurts my head. I think maybe I am just a wimp.

Tinka said...

Jodi - At least we aren't having tornadoes. Aren't they awful and there were so many of them.

Jodi said...

Feel better soon PINK TINK!!

Jodi said...

I'll be back much later. Going to relax until we have to go to Dad's wake. Thank you once again for everything. I have certainly felt the love ♥

sacBarb said...

Happy Thursday Owls.

Michael, Yes you are the prettiest today and I love the Tiara, however maybe a crown would suit you better.

sacBarb said...

Jodi, (((HUGS))) to you and your family.

Thanks to whomever sent in the blog, it really made me laugh.

Tinka, I'm glad you are on the mend.

Bebbi, Hello sunshine.

Waving to all the Owls and the lurkers too. BBL

this tiara is going on the auction block at Sothebys in May. Those 11 emeralds weigh more than 500 carats!!

It has an auction estimate of 10 mil but will prolly go way higher...

Bebbilane said...

Hi All! Sacbarb, Tinka, Jodi...hope everyone is having a good day!

THE SUN IS OUT HERE!! WOO HOO

goldie said...

Hello Hooters!

Good chuckles on that blog today.

Love the tiara Michael, glad you feel so pretty too.

Get some rest Jodi~I will see you tonight.

Hope everyone has a good day!

Just_Lin said...

Michael We know you are very witty and you do look unusually pretty and gay in that tiara. I think you should go to that auction and get it for me, being as emerald is my birthstone.

Just_Lin said...

HOdi Thank you for the blog even if it isn't what you sent in.

I'll be thinking of you and your family today. (((HUGS)))

Just_Lin said...

Bebbi Sunshine here, too. Yay!

Just_Lin said...

Tinka I just got 25. Sorry you aren't feeling well enough to march.

Just_Lin said...

SacBarb Happy Thursday to you, too. Any plans this weekend?

Just_Lin said...

Goldie Please give Jodi an extra hug from me. muah <3

Just_Lin said...

Tina Why aren't you McMoaning today?

Zona said...

Hi Guys!

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: Ok..the movie timeline thing really made me feel like an old fadoo..oh wait..I AM an old fadoo..I have the chair and everything..lol..

MICHAEL: You're in great voice today!

JODI: {{HUGS}} I just wish I could give you one in person..♥

BEBBI: Your comment made me start singing 'Here Comes the Sun'..and I don't even want the sun to come..lol..

TINKA: Don't spend too much time farming..get some rest! I hope you feel better soon! :)

BARB: LOL!! Guess.. :D

GOLDIE: from 51..I'm sorry to have shocked you so.. ;D

Zona said...

HI J/LIN!! :D

Just_Lin said...

I actually have to work part of today and again tonight. I know....poor me.

Just_Lin said...

Zona! Hi!

Bebbilane said...

J/L: Have fun at work.

Zona: Here comes the sun..and there it goes..it's supposed to rain again tonight. You wouldn't believe the flooding here!

iteach said...

This blog is so funny!! I enjoyed reading all those postcards.

Michael would you wear the Tiara or put it in a glass box?

Tinka, I so hope you are feeling better. I will be starting Farmtown again once school is out.

iteach said...

J/L have fun at work tonight.

Bebbi, the sun is not out here. ;(

iteach said...

Jodi, darling, my heart goes out to you tonight, you are so heavy in my thoughts.

iteach said...

Zona, Goldie, and SacBarb waving to you too!

I'm off to the movies with my friend Candy. We are going to see Water for the Elephants. I read the book and it was excellent. The movie reviews are stinky, but I'm just glad that I'm getting out. I don't do that much. The kids are with their dad for a couple of hours.

iteach said...

Also my heart goes out to all the states that were devasted by the storms. Reading it on the internet has made me sick to my stomach.

iteach said...

40 (my age)

Bebbilane said...

iteach: I am sorry it's not sunny there..it still is here but the clouds are around..

Dianne/Denver said...

Good Afternoon Owls.....MICHAEL: I love your song today. I used to sing that song and dance around my room as a child. Also congratulations on first two days in a row.

J/L and SACBARB: Are you both still going to your Royal wedding parties? Do they start at 1AM? Tell us about them as they sound so fun...like the Superbowl of weddings. I wished I was going to one.

ZONA: Yes, you do have the chair but you are not all that old.....well, maybe a little :) but you can stay awake a lot longer than I can. That too will change as you jump up in years.

ITEACH: I am so glad you are getting a chance to get out and go to the movies. No school today or is this after school? I am probably just getting confused on our time zones.

BEBBI: I hope the sun stays out for you and that you stay safe from all this bad weather. Very scary in so many states.

JODI: Sorry I missed your call last night. You are so in my thoughts every day and sending hugs to you. I love the picture of your parents dancing that you put up.

TINK; I hope you are feeling better today. How many farms do you have now? I finally quit in October as I wasn't feeling well and it was too time consuming for me.

GOLDIE: Please give hugs all around for us tonight to JODI and thanks for all you do. You are a great friend to us all.

Dianne/Denver said...

I am going with my two "play" friends to see 9 to 5 the Musical tonight and out for some seafood before the show. One of the people from the first American Idol (Diana something) is playing the lead. It is before I watched AI so faithfully.

Hope everyone has a good rest of the day and safe weather.

Dianne/Denver said...

ITEACH: You are just a baby at 40.

whabbear said...

Dianne: Do you know what it would mean in the gay community if you said you had play friends with play in quotation marks?

LOL!

Maureen said...

Good evening feathered friends!

MICHAEL...looking oh so pretty today.

JODI...funny signs...sad state of truth, but funny!! My heart is with you tonight and tomorrow.

DIANNE...have fun with your play friends!

GOLDIE...Thank you for all the love and support you have given our JODI during this most difficult time. It's a true friend that is there when it's not lall sunshine and lollipops.

ZONA...no Paula Deen or pastrami!

sacBarb said...

Dianne, I saw 9 to 5 with Dianna Degarmo and I really liked it. She is very good in the role too. She plays the Dolly Parton role. Have fun.

sacBarb said...

J/L, My plans for the weekend are to sleep tomorrow after I get home from the wedding reception. Then Sunday Sharon and I are going to a Chamber Music concert and dinner. What are you doing this weekend?

Maureen said...

I have to tell you what a crock of shit this whole gas business is.

This afternoon one of the girls at work went the Circle K to get gas. There's a Subway there, so she decided to run in and get a sandwich and then get her gas.

When she parked, gas was $3.89. When she came out to pump it was $4.15. WTF? It was the same gas that was already in the tank, not new gas they may have paid more for. It is a crock. ANd yet the oil companies still report record profits.

Tina~in_ut said...

ugh!~

Just_Lin said...

SacBarb Well, things changed about watching the wedding. I'm just going to meet my friends for breakfast and then we are going to my friend's house and watch her recording of it. That suits me fine as I am not a Royal Watcher and could actually care less about this. I would like to see Kate's dress, though.

Just_Lin said...

Tina So....you moan in the morning and grunt in the evening. Must be all that communicating you have to do for your job. You just kind of run out of words it seems. Either that, or it has something to do with having 3 kids.

Just_Lin said...

Did I get 50 and 25 today? I've impressed myself. LOL

Just_Lin said...

Oh, never mind. The Moaner aka Grunter got 50. :(

Jodi said...

ITEACH - Thank you!! I also read the note you left on the funeral home site ♥

Jodi said...

SLIN & ZONA - I definitely feel the (((hugs)))!!

Jodi said...

ITEACH - p.s. How was the movie? I started reading the book last week when I stayed at Dad's. About 1/2 way thru it.

Jodi said...

DIANNE - I'm sure we'll connect soon. No worries. The pic of my parents dancing was taken at Eric's first wedding. I could watch them dance for hours ♥

Jodi said...

MO - Thank you!! I'll never understand that whole gas pricing thing. I just keep telling my guests...don't hate the messenger ;)

Jodi said...

GOLDIE - THANK YOU...well, you know. It truly touched my heart that you brought Inge last night. Thank you for sharing her with me ;)

Jodi said...

And to all my HOoters...the basket was beautiful. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart ♥

Jodi said...

Last night was just beautiful. You could really feel the love in the room.
