Quote of the Day

Love it!!

I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.

I really wanted sunflower seeds today.

I have an intense craving for sunflower seeds. What do you suppose that means? I had a wonderful hamburger at lunch, complete with the forbidden bacon and cheese and a chocolate chip cookie to boot. And yet the craving for sunflower seeds persists. I may try to banish it with an ice cream drumstick.......

I am working from home this afternoon. Playing hookey. I met my girlfriend Sarah for lunch and once I got out of the building, I decided why go back? All the bosses are out of town....good time to go AWOL. But really can you go AWOL, if no one is around to notice you are AWOL? hmmmm Such deep thoughts to ponder today.

I should hobble out and water the new landscaping. There is a slim chance of rain and I am holding onto that chance, rather than leave the nice, cool, comfy basement and my 'puter! If it does indeed rain, maybe I should run out and buy a lottery ticket...... did I mention it has only rained once since May 31st? Think I'll be saving myself a dollar........

Many prayers today!

Two of my really good online friends need some prayers.

First is Annette, mom to Ryan and Kurtis, who is battling cancer. The tumor is continuing to grow and her next move is a new clinical trial. She is one great lady and the thoughts and prayers are needed! I wish I could go meet her this weekend as she visits my good friends Jan, Nicole and Shannon! Girls hug her a couple of times for me!!!!

Also for Andi, who is having exploratory surgery on her ovary. The Dr's are hoping it's a fibroid. Her son Riley and daugher Em are cutie patooties! Many thoughts and prayers are needed here as well.

Cancer is a terrible thing. We need to find a cure!

Crutches are no fun.

Not that I thought they were really, but now I know they are not.. for sure!

As graceful as I am, I managed to break my toe yesterday. While the other 4 toes on my left foot, pointed to right as they should, the 4th one was pointing out to the left. It wasn't a pretty sight. Went to the ER to make sure I didn't break any bones in my foot, they took an Xray and said yup it's broken (no shit sherlock, what was your first clue?), taped it up and sent me out with a lovely blue boot and some extra tape. I'm at home today, with it propped up. My parking garage is 2 1/2 blocks from my building.... my armpits are screaming already from the crutches, I surely didn't want to try that! I'm such a whiner.

Wouldn't ya know it. I had just gotten out of the shower and had removed all my pretty polish too!!! So I went to the hospital with straggly wet hair, no makeup and one toe headed the wrong way, all toes with no polish! No wonder they asked me all those domestic violence questions! I must have looked sweet!

It's a lovely shade of purple today. Poor Alex, he was so upset that mommy was upset! I'm sure all the nasty names he heard me call the leather chair that jumped out and snapped my innocent toe didn't help! LOL When I got home, he kept pointing to his toes and saying hurt! He loves studying the tape too. Not sure I want my feet studied that much (unless it's by Johnny Depp or George Clooney)!

Today is all about me and my achy breaky foot!!
