  On my Mind &nbsp; You know what i hate the most?? When I have a really good story to tell, and I go to my keyboard, and it just vanishes from my head. I really really hate that. I was talking to Kaye on the msn messenger and I specifically didn't reply to something she said with the the beginning of said forgotten story.. and now I can't think for the life of me what the hell we were talking about in that particular moment.
Bitch about housework.. check. Bitch about lack of time... check. Bitch about barney... check. See, I have no idea. &nbsp; &nbsp; Reminds me of... "You're not drunk if you can lie on the floor without holding on. " Joe E Lewis. This reminded me of the 'good ol days' when i used to think my drinking was a normality.. you know because you should logically be able to down two two-sixes before you are completely hammered.. &nbsp; Crap of the day &nbsp; So I decided after talking with Brian that I actually didn't like the previous format for this page.. so I am trying something else for headers.
I don't know If I like this one either... but maybe It will be more relevant to the topics I choose to discuss. Then again It could make things look too choppy and non-interesting.. so we will see. &nbsp; Oh my goodness, I actually remember the story I was going to tell that I totally lost in the nether regions of my brain!!
Kaye and I were talking about her mother-in-law coming to town and all the cleaning she has to do. Well I was going to tell her this little story that gave me a good laugh : It was September of 1998, and as you may or may not know my birthday is on the 18th.
Well my mother had told me that she was going to send a large-ish parcel down for my birthday, and for Mark to go and pick it up for me because she was unable to wrap it and wanted it to be a surprise. So I had agreed and put Mark on the phone to iron out the details with my mom, and basically forgot about it. Well it was two nights before my birthday and I was fast asleep when I heard this really loud noise... I woke up to Mark vacuuming the living room, and the apartment looked SPOTLESS. As you can well imagine I was in a state of total shock and disbelief.. so I asked "why are you cleaning the house at 1am?
" "um.. i couldn't sleep.." "you couldn't sleep.. and you chose to clean?? " "...um, ya... um... right" So I stood there, jaw on the floor, until i figured it out. My mom was coming. At that moment I was laughing so hard I thought I would pee all over Marks nicely moped floor!!! I kid you not, Mark had never met my mother before this so it was a first time meet PLUS, he knows how angry I would have been if my mother showed up and my house was a disaster!!
That was the day I decided I was concrete on marrying that man! Anyways, it was really funny to me &amp; just thought I would share. &nbsp; What else did I want to talk about?? I lost my train of thought again from remembering the thing I forgot.. and now I am forgetting the thing I was about to share because I figured out the other story...
grrraahhh!!! Well, maybe I will remember and tomorrows post will be that much better to enjoy!! &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; The Silver Lining &nbsp; The dog stayed outside ALL day today and didn't bark at every little thing that moved!! I was so proud! &nbsp; &nbsp; Word of the Day &nbsp; salient .\SAY-lee-unt; SAYL-yunt\, adjective: 1. Shooting out or up; projecting. 2.

&nbsp; An extra bit &nbsp; Three men were hiking through a forest when they came upon a large, raging violent river. Needing to get on the other side, the first man prayed, "God, please give me the strength to cross the river. " Poof! God gave him big arms and strong legs and he was able to swim across in about 2 hours, having almost drowned twice. &nbsp; &nbsp; After witnessing that, the second man prayed, "God, please give me strength and the tools to cross the river. " Poof! God gave him a rowboat and strong arms and strong legs and he was able to row across in about an hour after almost capsizing once. &nbsp; Seeing what happened to the first two men, the third man prayed, "God, please give me the strength, the tools and the intelligence to cross this river. " Poof! He was turned into a woman. She checked the map, hiked one hundred yards up stream and walked across the bridge.
