Yesterday I was walking down to the bus stop, to wait for my dd to get home. I was talking to my sister on the cell phone as I was leisurely strolling down the sidewalk. I had left early, so I was the only one walking at that time. I decided that I had better hang up, because it would be rude to talk on the phone as the other moms arrived. So, as I'm saying goodbye I turn to look down the street, and what do I see? I see the mom who has two boys, trying to ride both of their scooters (one on each foot), to the bus stop. Inevitably she begins wobbling....becomes panicked....tries to casually jump off....and lands face first on the sidewalk.
I tell my sister, in a calm voice, "I have to go, one of the moms just fell off her son's scooters." From Indiana; hysterical laughter. So, I hang up and begin to walk to her, at which point she jups up into the "I'M ALLRIGHT!" stance....and takes a deep bow. Luckily she wasn't hurt, although she did get some dirt on her jeans. And she was wearing a new shirt that she had just bought that day....but it too survived the fall. I told her, "Honey, you are going to be the star of my next journal entry!" She laughed....and ask that I not use her name, in order to protect the clumsy.
I find it weird that I just wrote about this....and then it happened. So, lets try a little experiment, shall we? Here are my predictions....
Kara's dh will suddenly be struck with an overwhelming urge to become romantic 24/7.
Monica will be offered a job with National Geographic as a star photographer.
Cheezy will inherit a Krispy Kreme franchise.
Lisa will become Jon BonJovi's personal assistant.
Kim and I will become so skinny, you won't be able to see us when we turn sideways.
Sully will inherit a Borders Book store.
Lannywill win a lifetime of cruises for he and his wife.
Martha will find out that beer really IS good for you.
WE WILL ALL WIN THE LOTTERY!

I like the way you predict!!!! I hope your predictions all come true. Hugs Lanny
You're psycho....not psychic...just kidding!!! Anyway, I hope your predictions come true. I'm halfway through my latest book and will soon need another--if I owned a store, I'd read the book and then re-sell it. That scooter story reminds of when I lived in FL and tried roller blades for the first time with my kids at a high school track. I started off fine, then got some momentum and I was literally flying thinking I was so cool. I was rounding a corner and I could tell I was losing my balance and knew that if I fell on my butt I'd probably break it so I kind of fell sideways and burned my leg and butt, hurt my wrists etc. I was miserable for weeks and never went roller blading again...
Hi Sherri - I've been swamped and I'm SO sorry I haven't been by. Sounds like a lot has been going on down there in Jacksonville, Florida!! I think getting a boat is really exciting...I know you're going to enjoy it. Loved your stories about sugar and the scooters. You write with such wit...it's a pleasure to read. I promise I'll be back by soon!!

The lottery does it for me! I'd even buy my husband a brand new boat :-) Hey! Did you name yours yet?!!
OUCH! Attempting two scooters at once, probably something I myself would try. Glad to hear no serious injuries. Hope your predictions do come true! BTW...the teacher called. update later...
Dear Lord, PLEASE let Sherry's predictions come true! Amen. :o)
Mmmmmmm, beer (said in the tone of Homer Simpson). I'd almost take that over winning the lottery! LOL! :-)
"Lisa will become Jon BonJovi's personal assistant." Oh great psychic, please let this be true!!!!! What I wouldn't give for this! WOO-HOO!!! But, with my luck, he would ask me to be the nanny to his 4 children and I would have to take care of HIS and MINE! UGGHHHHHH!
Hugs and love, Lisa
Oh that would be so nice Sherry. I'm glad the Mother was alright. Face first sounded horrible. Please stay off the scooter if you get hurt how will you clean?
You mean free donuts without my donut card? Whoooppeeee!
Wooo sounds good to me!
UMMM,you forgot to add that I would get paid for sitting on my butt eating bon-bons.KIM
Feel free to predict a job offer in the ER, and that I pass the state boards on the first try!!! You are great! I hope you have as much fun in your day to day life as you do with this journal.
