Planting those Seeds of Happiness...Right in-between my Teeth!

Doing stupid things is second nature for me.  I get a kick out of some of the stupid stuff I do.

*******************

Maybe I have learned to laugh at myself because life is so darned funny.

******************

For example......bagels.  That sounds benign, doesn’t it?  Well, greed takes me places I shouldn’t go.  

******************

One of first times I ever had a bagel was with Daria Chesnut.  "Here," she said. "Put a little cream cheese on that.”  I was hooked.  I love bread anyway but bagels are just so, so chewy.  It’s like the ultimate carbohydrate for me.  

******************

I like poppy seeds on about anything.  Couple that with bagels and I’m in hog heaven.  Oink!

*****************

There’s a problem....poppy seeds nestle themselves by my teeth.  Look, I told you I floss.....I just sometimes miss one or two.  So, I try to resist.  BUT....

*****************

Have you ever had a Bruenger’s Poppy Seed Bagel?  They have poppy seeds on both sides of the bagel.  Fresh, heavenly, a taste treat.

*****************

I have learned not to eat a poppy seed bagel for breakfast and then go to a meeting.  I’ll feel one of those seeds and devil myself until it’s gone.  Or worse, I will eat one, go and look in the mirror to make sure I don’t have any in my teeth, and miss the one right in the front of my mouth.  

*****************

I got home from a big event one night.   I looked in the mirror as I brushed my teeth getting ready for bed.  Yep, I found at least ten seeds in my teeth from my morning bagel.

****************

My poppy flowers are coming up this spring.  I laugh every time I see them and think of my teeth.

Beauty is only skin deep but ugly goes clear to the bone!

I witnessed some foolishness today....a woman was creating a scene in a store.  She hadn’t gotten the answer she wanted, so loudly she announced to all of us that she going to film us.  All of us.  All of us witnesses.  I sucked my teeth and walked out the door.

************

Mr. DeMille, I DON”T need my close up.

************

Big whoop.  A middle aged lady threatening a young worker.  Screaming that she was going to record all of this for the Internet to see as she fumbled with recording this craziness on her cell phone, this lady wanted all of us get in on the action.

************

Wrong playmates, wrong playpen!

************

“Hey, Lady, it wasn’t scanning correctly because you had picked up the wrong-sized can.”  If you want to fight, pick an old heifer like me.

************

Film this, Ma’am.

The ad said that the smaller can was on sale. You had the great big can.  That dog won’t hunt.


************

Does it hurt to be that stupid?

************

I’m usually all "self-concept”.  I’m the "let’s not humiliate anyone, sing Kum-bi-ya and get along, Erin."  If I worked with the general public, I’d wear a Go-Pro around my neck and I could have my own tv station of crazy.

***********

I better just keep on walking.

Confessions of a Midnight Cat Wrangler: It’s a God Thing

Confessions of a Midnight Cat Wrangler: It’s a God Thing: Dan sent us a picture of Mike that we had never seen.  We got it about noon.  I’ve looked at it 20 times.....  in the past six hours! ****...

It’s a God Thing

Dan sent us a picture of Mike that we had never seen.  We got it about noon.  I’ve looked at it 20 times.....  in the past six hours!

************

Jessica Sims, a friend that had lived down the street from the famed Doles Boulevard house in Milledgeville, sent the picture to Dan.  Dan sent it to us.

************

It’s a God thing. Thank you, Jessica.

***********

Molly, Dan, Bill and I were so excited.  It is like getting the best Christmas gift in the whole world when you see a new picture of your child.  Many of Mike’s friends have surprised us over the years-- they find a picture of our middle son and immediately send us a copy.

**********

So, today, I am encouraging you....when YOU come across a picture of someone who is no longer with us on earth, send it to their family.  They will love it.  I promise.  You don’t have to say anything more than, “I ran across this photo today.  It brought me great joy.  I thought you might like to see it.”

*********

OR you don’t have to say anything at all.  It’s a God thing.
