An Extraordinary Day

I had a wonderful day with my oldest grandson. We started out with his Daddy buying us breakfast, so that was good. I got home, did some long put off chores, but took breaks to build a huge Lego staircase, watch George, have conversations about fish, water, and other important topics. Then we TRIED to take a nap and wasted a 1 1/2 hours of our lives trying to sleep. But every time I tried to be sleeping, I turned into a dinosaur or a shark and scared the sly leprechaun who was staring through my eyelids. It ended up inevitably with someone, (not me) jumping on the bed. After that it was a free for all, so we went downstairs meaning to go see Daddy, but ended up playing soccer with some of the kids in the neighborhood. Finally, we went in to dry off and warm up with Hot cocoa, and there was Myta! It was the first time in a while that Jiro begged to stay with Grandma. He's usually ready for Mom by then, but I guess he had as much fun as I did. I ♥ U, Jirito!

On her way to work one morning
Down the path along side the lake
A tender hearted woman saw a poor half frozen snake
His pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew
"Poor thing," she cried, "I'll take you in and I'll take care of you"

"Take me in tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake

She wrapped him all cozy in a comforter of silk
And laid him by her fireside with some honey and some milk
She hurried home from work that night and soon as she arrived
She found that pretty snake she'd taken to had been revived

"Take me in, tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake

She clutched him to her bosom, "You're so beautiful," she cried
"But if I hadn't brought you in by now you might have died"
She stroked his pretty skin again and kissed and held him tight
Instead of saying thanks, the snake gave her a vicious bite

"Take me in, tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake

"I saved you," cried the woman "And you've bitten me, but why?
You know your bite is poisonous and now I'm going to die"
"Oh shut up, silly woman," said the reptile with a grin
"You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in.

"Take me in, tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake


“Come on in you pretty snake…
Come on in, yeah, come on in you pretty snake…

Commercials

There are commercials we hate.  Some I hate so much that I refuse to go to that store, establishment, restaurant EVER just because I hate their commercials.  I think this mostly happens with commercials who have dumb people in them.  I take them to mean that dumb people go to their stores, etc.  And I'm afraid someone might see me going in them and say behind their hand to their BFF, "Look how dumb she is, she goes to the dumb peoples store!"

Right.  So an example:

SONIC:  A man (I base that on short hair and the type of his shirt, not on what I would deem manly qualities) is insulting the woman in the car with him with comments of how studly he is and how people think her sweater looks like something his mother would wear and thus no one would ever think the two of them were "together".  There's more, but I have no interest in repeating it.  But I do say, "DON'T eat at Sonic.  EVER."  I don't care that they no longer are running that commercial.  If they think we are dumb enough to eat at their fast food place by watching a commercial like that, then we prove them right!

So what kind of commercials are acceptable?  Ones with kitties and babies and nice and kind people.  Like Dari-Queen.  How can you resist a grown man blowing bubbles with kittens in them?  And then he catches them so they can't get hurt when the bubble bursts.  Really cute kittens.  The fact that I LOVE Heath Bar Blizzards has nothing to do with me checking online to see what time they close. (It's early, so be aware.)

I have more, I may or may not follow in this vein on the next post.  But I definitely would like to have anyone share their favorite and/or hateable commercials.

I know this puts a lot of pressure on the four of you out there. But I'm counting on you.  I have seven sisters and not one of them is following me.  Isn't that beyond sad?

An Untimely Post

A friend just sent me notice of a blogpost via FB.  Of course I thought of my neglected blog and decided to start a thread that had come into my head last night.  So of course I expect all FOUR of my followers to chime in and read and PARTICIPATE!!! 

I was shocked to find out that it has almost been a year since I last blogged.  Amazing how fast time passes when you are so BUSY!!!  And having fun, too.  Of course since I have such overwhelming response to my blogs, it makes it hard to ignore them.  But I manage. <enter snarky, sarcastic voice here.>

Ah well, away I go.  I will progress on to my next post which is the real post...
