Elly, momable, TV shows, Eliane
Really! My favorite folder under my name just disappeared! Hopefully, it will reappear when I reboot.
Also, I placed a poem on this blog -- it, too, has disappeared!!!!!
Isn't that weird?
Am going to watch All My Children now, the only daytime soap I follow now. In the evening I am watching Torchwood -- so cool it is on so many nights in a row! I am also watching Leverage, Drop Dead Diva, NCIS (when it isn't reruns), Bones, and Royal Pains.
What do you like to watch?
Blessings on all of us! Later, friends.

momable, Elly, Eliane, people
I just can't get over people. The other day, I was walking with my phone. I have an earplug attached to a wire, to the phone. This blonde chick says, "What's amatta, can't afford Bluetooth?" Then she saunters off.
Just ignoring her, just wondering why someone I don't know would go out of their way to come up to me just to say that. Why does such behavior always shock me??????
Telling my daughter about it, God and Goddess bless her, she says, "Mom, next time that happens, call her a 'Consumerist Whore'."
I couldn't stop laughing.
Someone else told me to just be myself and not say anything and continue with my thinking that some people just have so low opinions of themselves that they insult others to make themselves feel superior or better. This touched me as this person knew my thoughts, made me realize she is my BFF.
Still, if someone feels that way or has had a bad day -- I truly wish everyone would learn to not take things out on others.
Next time it happens, what will I do? Actually, I don't know...

News Flash
My baby is in Law School!!!! Going to classes!!!! Best wishes, Spelios!!!!!
WOW!!!!
Amanda now says maybe she will be a college professor or an international lawyer. Dang, she may end up living in Europe since she LOVES it so much. I still hear about France, how the fruits are so out-of-this-world, and the food is so excellent and the country is so beautiful...
Karl says he might be an attorney, too -- but now he says he is still making up his mind.

Seeing fish dance, walking with music, smiling family, and frozen fruit.
This is my new favorite quote by W. H. Hudson in the book GREEN MANSIONS, a tropical romance:
"The sense of the beautiful is God's gift to the human soul."

ABCs, children, values, momable
...
As I was cleaning up my house, I came upon a paper I saved from long ago -- showing wear and tear, wrinkled and spilled upon. It used to hang up on my fridge, but then it got misplaced. My children probably moved it so their work could be placed on the refrigerator, the "Place of Honor" for great work. They loved to take their siblings' papers off so their could be there (lol, little brats!)
These ABCs are lovely and I still try to follow them even though my children are in college and Senior High.
What would you add to it?
