OMG... I just got the very first DVD of Planet Earth.....I swear to you all, I just watched the introduction since I will be leaving town for a bit, but damn... the photography and the way they had to get some of the shots.. I am so in love with that program! I don’t know if any of you watch it on the Discovery Channel on Sunday evenings, but I really think it is worth a try for each of you and you can then let me know what you think...totally fantastic!!
Yesterday on the radio station I listen to they were talking about people getting stuck on or in something or having something stuck on them. I had to laugh, I remember when my kiddos was just wee sprouts of things and in doing the pediatrician thing as was par for the course with all the vaccinations and immunization shots and things needed, the doctor used to have the nurses come in and give the kiddos the shots so that they wouldn’t hate the doctor or be afraid of him (and the smart arzzzess that the doctors were, they made sure it was a different nurse each time so that the poor kiddos didn’t know what was happening). Well, after each shot and they were crying those great big crocodile tears, the doctor would come back in and pretend they were comforting the kids.. and saying things like, “oh, it is gonna be alright.. that boo boo will heal, and I have a surprise for you...” then they would pull out a dum dum (lolly) and hand it to the bawling kid, and the tears would still fall, but their mouths were otherwise occupied and the wailing was quieted to a less than ear-shattering level. As it was, both my kiddos (since they are only 11 months and a week apart) got their shots together and since I worked nights and my ex worked days, I would bring them to the doctors and then afterwards, as was our usual practice and since there was ½ hour between his quitting time and my start time, I usually dropped them off at the ex’s place of work, switching the car seats and then went to work. I used to park about a block away from where I worked and walked down a rather busy street to the building. After the one particular shot visit at the doctors, during the winter, when I was walking in to work, I noticed people turning around and looking at me, I quickly did the routine check to make sure all the zippers were zippered and all the buttons buttoned, and yep, they were, so I just chalked it up to their really, really liking my maxi coat. When I got in the building, and since it was an older building with an older elevator service, we had an elevator operator by the name of Llewellyn. I got in the elevator with my usual greeting to him.. “evening Llewellyn, how are things?”... and I got in the elevator and turned to face front, when I did he caught a glimpse of something and I noticed him do a double take to my backside. He sorta smiled and said, “Oh, I am fine, but I need to ask you a question.” And I said, “Of course, what do you need to ask?” “Well”, he began, “did you notice people looking at you when you walked to work today?” (with a grin on his face). I replied, sorta shocked.. “yeah, but I don’t understand.. I checked to make sure all was zipped and buttoned, and I just thought they were admiring my maxi coat”. He really grinned now, and said: “well, I guess they were sorta admiring your maxi, but I don’t know any subtle way of saying this.. so.. Just know that you have two lollipops stuck to your arzzz”. I coulda died.. in fact I had wished that a hole would open and devour me, maxi, lollipops and all. He then added, “I guess it brings a whole new meaning to the term, man what a sweet arrzzz she has!”...I exited at my stop thankful there would be no further communication until later that night and very flushed. Kids.. you so have to love em!
Twenty-one food-for-thought one-liners:
ONE. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.
TWO. Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other.
THREE. Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want.
FOUR. When you say, 'I love you,' mean it.
FIVE. When you say, 'I'm sorry,' look the person in the eye.
SIX. Be engaged at least six months before you get married.
SEVEN. Believe in love at first sight.
EIGHT. Never laugh at anyone's dream. People who don't have dreams don't have much.
NINE. Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it's the only way to live life completely.
TEN.. In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.
ELEVEN. Don't judge people by their relatives.
TWELVE. Talk slowly but think quickly.
THIRTEEN. When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer, smile and ask, 'Why do you want to know?'
FOURTEEN. Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
FIFTEEN. Say 'bless you' when you hear someone sneeze.
SIXTEEN. When you lose, don't lose the lesson
SEVENTEEN. Remember the three R's: R espect for self; Respect for others; and responsibility for all your actions.
EIGHTEEN. Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
NINETEEN. When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
TWENTY. Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice.
TWENTY-ONE. Spend some time alone.
*“Since statistics on sanity are that one out of every 4 persons is suffering from some sort of mental illness, and if your 4 best friends seem okay, then don't you think it's you?"*
