5 Random Thoughts

Mimi gave an open tag to whoever wanted to do the meme about 5 random thoughts about myself. I could not resist...

1. I really don't like driving school bus. It's not that I don't like the kids...I love them...I love their chatter...their innocence...their laughter...even their singing which drives me bonkers. It's the red tape of Headstart and their inability to communicate changes and stuff to me. And the pressure of having all those little lives in my care during a snow or ice storm is too much to handle.

2. I adore listening to Chip Ingram's radio program, Living on the Edge. He is a bible teacher who is practical and grounded and balanced. Yes, balanced. There have been many times that it has been his voice over the radio that has kept me from harm and talked me out of despair. He's funny too, and not afraid to show his humanity.

3. I like to play Scrabble. Like, I get competative about it. Mom and I used to play it on Playstation2 and we'd be at it for hours because whenever one of us would win, the loser would say..."Want to go again?" Sometimes we'd cheat and use "help"...but it was more fun not to, ya know.

4. I am discovering that I like to take pictures, thanks to a certain English friend wanting to see what I look like. I'm not very good taking pictures, yet, but I'll be looking at something now and I'll think---that'd make a great picture! Like the green blush on the mountains right now...beautiful. Like the daffodil at Mom's that I snapped at Easter time...a bulb that has lain dormat for at least ten eyars that has finally pushed it's way through to cunlight. I hope it turns out cuz it's something I'd like to post here.

5. I have to find a way to sneak out of the library as there is one of those people that you like to avoid here and I know if she sees me, she'll try to delay me. grrrrr.....

Awesome! Well, you are obviously handling the school bus...boy it is a hard job! And I know about beurocratic nonsense (even if I cannot spell it!)

Scrabble huh? I love Canasta. My hubby and I call it Canasty though because we can get downright mean while playing it!

Photography! One of my passions! I loved Black and White photography...took more than a few classes in college. If you really are interested, get yourself a manual 35mm camera and you can do some incredible stuff. Takes a bit of fiddling to learn but it is so gratifying! I'll have to post more of my b&w's soon. I get so excited about that!

Thanks for mentioning me. MMMMwwwhhhhaaaa...big 'ol kissy poo for ya. Don't worry, I won't tell the Englishman! LOL. Yes, you too are adorable!

I didn't know that you're a Scrabble player, Ciera. I've played that many times. Primarily, I like Mah Jongg. Monopoly is fun too.

With photography, Idon't take quick pictures, but always take time to size up a shot. I didn't know that your phtography interest has suddenly developed as a result of...

Ah, so I have a few secrets left, do I, Jean-Luc?

Mah Jong is a bit addictive for me. Monoply has some bittersweet memories attached to it, but I still like to play it.

Yes, it's developed suddenly because of....

Just how serious are you about Scrabble, Ciera? Have you memorized all the 2-letter words in the dictionary? That's the start of seriousness in my book.

Taking pictures only takes practice, Ciera. It's one of my favorite things to do and you can see some of my pictures on my pic blog, if you'd like.

Ponderisms

This comes from an email from one of my many sisters. Some are just toooo funny!!! PONDERISMS 1.) I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes. 2.) Gardening Rule: When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. 3.) The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement. 4.) Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway. 5.) There are two kinds of pedestrians: the quick and the dead. 6.) Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing. 7.) Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die. 8.) The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth. 9.) Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs. 10.) Have you noticed since everyone has a ca...

Too Soon

"I spoke too soon" Well....sort of. Here's a brief rundown of my first 'drop off run' - u know, taking the kids home. I get all the kids on the bus, knowing that one girl needs to go to daycare, I automatically head for the one she went to last year...as I pull up, she says, "I don't go there anymore...I go to the new daycare..." Uh-oh. Now, this little girls a little more mature than the rest, so I believe her. I tried calling the other driver on the handheld radio to see if he was still at the center...no answer....tried calling the boss...no answer...I went back to the Center...no one could see the bus becuase of the ambulance, so no one could come out. So I cart the girl around the entire hour long route.........at the first stop, I sent a message through the mother to the Center....and then there was a bee on the bus!!!! I killed it, superhero that I am. One girl wants to "swing from the chandleirs"...if the bus had them. Oh m...
