Egad, Brain! It's Friday the 13th!

I used to love to watch the cartoon "Pinky & The Brain", and I loved it when Pinky would use that phrase, "Egad, Brain"!
Well, here it is, Friday the 13th, supposedly Bad-luck Friday. However, I don't believe in bad "luck" or good "luck". I don't believe in "luck" at all. What I do believe is that, if you live according to the commandments laid out by Jesus in the Bible, you will be blessed. If you do not live according to the scripture, you will be cursed. I don't believe anything happens without a reason. Many times that reason is unknown to us humans, but God has a purpose and a time for everything under the sun.
So, if you don't want to have "bad luck", then just live according to the Bible and you will be blessed in ways you could never imagine! :) TTFN

Use of Cardboard

A car gets a flat on the interstate one day. The blonde driver eases it over onto the shoulder of the road, carefully steps out of the car and opens the trunk. She takes out two cardboard men, unfolds them & stands them at the rear of the vehicle
facing oncoming traffic.

The lifelike cardboard men are in trench coats exposing their nude bodies & private parts to approaching drivers.

Not surprisingly, the traffic becomes snarled & backed up. It isn't very long before a police car arrives. The officer, clearly enraged, approaches the blonde of the disabled vehicle yelling, 'What's going on here?'

'My car broke down, officer' says the woman calmly.

'Well, what are these obscene cardboard pictures doing here by the road?' he asks.

'Helllooooooo!!!!' says the blonde. 'Those are my "emergency flashers"!'

All Moved In!

I'm finally all moved into my new shed/cottage! I know some of you may think this is totally silly on my part to be so excited about a shed in my backyard. But if you knew how long I've wanted this and how long it took to get it constructed once it was purchased, then you'd understand why it's such a big deal to me. It is soooo nice to have all my stuff for parties/events in one place, instead of sharing space with hubby's tools in the garage, or stuffed under my bed, or all over the floor in my office. Now everything is contained in one area, organized with labels, so that when I need something, all I have to do is open the doors and pull it out of its little "home", then place it back when I'm finished.
This is what the inside looks like from left to right:

Girl Friend Get-Together

So today on my street was a block-long yard sale. I didn't know it was going to happen and so I didn't get to go to any of it, as I had already made other plans for the day. So, bummer, cause I'm sure I missed out on some good deals. O well, I don't really need any more 'junque' anyhow, as I still haven't finished putting everything in my shed/cottage.
My 'other plans' were getting together with my girl friends from High School. You remember they came to my house back in February and we hadn't seen each other since then. So today we met for lunch at the Cheesecake Factory. O, and let me tell you, if you've never eaten at this restaruant (not sure if I spelled that right - it somehow doesn't look right to me right now), run, don't walk, to the nearest location and order up some GREAT food! Not just the cheesecake, which was ABSOLUTELY FAB - U - LOUS, but the Luau Salad that I ordered was just as yummy, with a beautiful presentation. So, we ate, and chatted, and ate some more, and chatted some more, and pretty much ate all afternoon (almost 5 hours). Then before we left, we snapped these pics. And we all look exactly like we did when we were in high school, 34 years ago (and if you believe that, I've got some swamp land I'll make you a deal on! lol). We had a great time, and as usual, the time flew by all too quickly and we had to say good-bye.
The three of us: Cathy, Pat, Me

Making Progress, I Think

No pics today, but I will have some up soon of all the organization going on in my little "cottage", aka, shed. I have moved shelving units from the garage to the shed, plus added two other units that I purchased this week. All my silk flowers, and there are a TON of them, are all in plastic storage bins according to color, and all labeled and looking pretty on their shelves. Likewise, the tea sets (16 of 17 that is). I've filled three walls so far with all my catering and decorating stuff. I've hauled so much out of my office inside the house, and it seems like I've hardly made a dent. And once I get everything moved and organized, I will start on the closet in my office. My plan is to turn it into a paper crafting/scrapbooking station. I knew I had lots of stuff, but I had no idea I had this much. I'm not sure if this makes me a "collector" or just a major packrat! One thing I do know, when it's all said and done, I'm going to be able to decorate for any event in any color scheme!
Okay, enough whining for now. Hopefully tomorrow I will gets some pics of my nice, neatly organized "cottage"! But for now, I need a nice looonng rest. TTFN, Brenda

What Color Lip Gloss Should You Wear?

Your Ice Cream Personality:

You like to think of yourself as a fairly modest person. And it's true that you don't talk yourself up... but you're also pretty happy with who you are. You have a wild reputation, but you're not as wild as you seem. You take risks, but only measured risks. You are a somewhat open minded person, but deep down you're fairly conservative. You don't like trying new things very much. And if you do find something new you like, you stick with it. You are a natural multitasker. You feel alive when you're doing more than one thing at a time. You are a serious and contemplative person. You definitely do your own thing in life.
