*VIRUS ALERT*

Just warning everyone....I have a virus....I'm sneezing and coughing like crazy. My site may contain cold germs, and I don't want anyone coming back to me after they come down with a chest cold, saying I didn't warn them!

Anyhoo, I thought I'd put my two-cents in regarding the "money questions"....

If I won "One Miilllliiionnn Dollars" (Dr. Evil), I would....

Call my husband first. Although, I'd probably keep it to myself for a bit, and just savor the moment....

I would then sell my house, and buy myself a home exactly where I want, ie on a mountain by a lake....

I would buy my Mom the PT Cruiser that she has always wanted....

I would give money to someone who REALLY needed it, like a single mom struggling with kids....and of course to church....

YES, I would definately invest, although I'm not sure where to start....

Now that I have the plan, all I need is the $1million.

More pics....

I just finished reading SunflowerKat321's journal, and she posted some pics of her golden, Berkley.  He's just adorable! So, I thought I'd post a couple of my dog Percy....what a ham. Last night my daughter broke up with her boyfriend....and I'm so sad! He really is a sweet kid with a kind of mixed up family. When he would come over here, you could just see that he loved being around a "traditional" family (mom, dad, sisters, etc.). He was polite and liked what I cooked, went to church and respected Betsy. The problem was that they were really good friends first, then decided to become boyfriend/girlfriend....and now dd doesn't feel the same anymore. She absolutely cares about him and wants to stay friends....but as we all know it's hard to continue a friendship after a "relationship". I just hope things work out. She went to bed last night with tears....because she felt so bad for hurting him. I told her that stringing him along would have hurt him worse in the long run. She understood, but it still doesn't lessen the pain. He apologized for not being the kind of boyfriend she needed (awwwww!), and she reassured him that that wasn't the case. I am so proud of her for being brave and doing the right thing. She wanted to do it online, but I told her he deserved to hear it at least over the phone. This morning when I dropped her off at the bus, she told me she was glad she talked to him and didn't use the computer. It's so hard growing up!

I'm going CAMERA CRAZY!!!!

I picked up my pictures today, and they turned out exceptionally well....so I thought I would share a few with you! I took dd to the doc today for her x-ray and, as I knew would happen, she does not have a broken ankle....yippee!  She is still wearing the brace, but will be fine. She gets to play again on Saturday, which will cause another fight about it with the dh. I need some advice here....she is on a team with all boys, as you know. They are between 9-12th grade....(she is 9th). Yes, they are faster and stronger than she is, and yes she probably has more of a chance of getting hurt....but she could also get hurt playing with girls. The boys are very aware of her, and they all try their best to keep from running her down. Dh says she will get hurt worse next time, and that we should not let her play anymore. I say she will be guarding girls from now on so that lessens the chance, she is learning to be more agressive playing with boys....which is to her advantage, and I don't think we should make her quit if she wants to play. It's a hard call here as she wants to play, yet dh feels I'm not considering his input on the situation. Truthfully, I want her to continue. Any suggestions?

Your morning laugh....

While attending a marriage seminar dealing with communication, *John and *Sherry listened to the instructor. "It is essential that husbands and wives know what is important to one another." He then asks John, "Can you describe your wife's favorite flower?"  John leans over, touching his wife's arm gently and whispers, "It's Pillsbury, right?"

Are you tired of me yet?

Sheesh....third entry in 10 minutes. It's just that I forgot to answer Lanny's question. If I could go back and change one thing in my life....I would have gotten a formal college education. I would have loved to have become a teacher or a librarian. Sometimes I worry about my lack of skills. I toy with the idea of going back to school, but I get nervous. I'm older, what if I don't do well, what will I go for? Of course, if I wait three more years, dd and I can go together.  Matching book bags....outfits....I'm sure she would love that!

Question.....

I just read redhdka's entry and she says she will be 35 in June....so I was thinking....when is everyone's birthday?  I'll go first....I will be 35 on July 3 (however, most of America celebrates it on the 4th....you know with picnics and fireworks, everyone is just so nice to me!;o)

Feelin' Groovy....

Okay, I feel better now. I guess it was just a glitch in my happy mechanism. Of course, what fixed it was the caring of my "journal buddies". If I could, I'd take you all out to lunch!  Wouldn't that be fun if we could all just go out and have a relaxing 4 hour shindig? I think it would be a ball. No hubbys, no kids, just a bunch of women (sorry Lanny ;o) sitting around, drinking, listening to music and shootin the breeze. Soooo....I made a lovely dinner tonight - teriyaki pork roast, mashed potatoes, greenbean portabello mushroom saute and minty brownies. Dh loved it, dd's boyfriend loved it, oldest dd is having cereal and youngest is at church with a friend. I thought it was good, but I think I may have a bug, so I didn't have much. I just finished watching Changing Rooms (BBC America....the original show that TLC copied Trading Spaces from)....it makes me want to paint! DD will be glad to hear that, because her room is next on the list. She wants a celestial theme, which I think will be pretty. I've gotten her a few knick-knacks with stars and moons, and we've picked out the paint....so all I need to do is get off my butt and get going! I'll add it to the list. Anyhoo, I am off to do my bedtime rituals and then perhaps I will cozy up with a book, or maybe play some Slingo....
