I have days where I know I NEED to write, and days where I can't stop writing. Today is a nonstop marathon...

All Things Royal

Thanks for reading and replying! Chatty, I wish I had a garage, but all I have is a carport. Wahhhhhhhhh! I want one!

I know. I'm bad...but I couldn't resist writing about my sister brushing her teeth with worm poop.

Brushing with Laughter

And she says I'm dumb? Bawwwhahahaha...ahem.

JJ once again you are on a roll. . Lol ... I would have some doosies to tell you,…but I would have to kill myself afterwards.

Thanks for taking the time to read. But honey, what a life when you have good material to write about? Come on...fess up!

JJ, your blog is hilarious! Loved the worm poop. Still laughing!

Isn't it though? I love it when my sisters do something that trumps the last dumb thing I did. Just wait till Thanksgiving. I'll give her He-l-l...

too funny!

when it's working, it's really working. God love ya, JJ.

In honor of Jabber's wisdom...

The Last Straw

Thanks Jab!

I love you! Great blog! I'm laughing and laughing and laughing...


Oh, yes! And U R welcome! lol...

Very wise and clever JJ. Jabber sure is a great motivator.

Jawjaw,
Your writing lifted my spirits yesterday! I was feeling kind of
low, due to circumstances beyond my control. But after reading
your blog, I felt happy. A person's thinking is much more
creative, when thoughts are taken from a positive mindset.

Want to Feng Shui your life? Move stuff? Get hemorrhoids?

Feng Shuiing My Life

Find out what NOT to do...

I love reading your blog, you're so cute! I can just picture everything when you write...

Weren’t you looking for a new dog, JJ?
Fang chews just about everything.
I’ll send him over to keep you company on the couch.
Woof, munch munch.

Fang? Fang? You named your dog Fang? Can you just imagine the pictures that conquers up? Fang! Bawwwwhahahaha...ah, no thanks. I'll stick with Miss Kitty for now ALTHOUGH I will say she has an attitude.

I'm thinking cat therapy.

Get it...JJ..Fang chews, as in Feng Shuiing....hee hee. Stop throwing those shoes at me!

Me and da Buddha say...

To all the servicemen and women...because I care.

Memorial Day - Who THEY are...

Never forget...

I know you all are getting tired of these blogs, but this one taught me a valuable lesson. To shut up and listen. Thank you to all who take the time to read them! I'm so in my element when writing.


I dooo what I cannnn

Do we get tired of chocolate? Do we get tired of chatting? Do we get tired of your blogs?

No,no no. Ever!

I like your blogs..and although Pollyanna is a nice wee girl..good old fashions shoulder to cry on and hug from an authentic friend allows the well to overflow when needed.
My task is to listen and remain true to myself...when a friend
leaks her/his frustrations.Hope someone will always do that for me.
Friends..I have a wide circle..several cheeful souls..choose who and what I share..there is no universal friend for me..each an individual all worthy of mention...one in particular I share spititual woes and growth...another health concerns..some daily encouragment..others have been true mentors..
I often think of them all..passed and present and have little chats inwardly...they make me the person I am and I may have shaped them.
People are wonderful..including those who have been harder to understand..

Thank you ladies, for your encouragement AND for your wisdom. Your insight is fuel for our (speaking of me here) misguided souls.

Today I have an announcement to make and I do so with (gulp) a bit of fear. Now I have to finish it! I'm close...close enough to get really excited! I can't sleep, I'm a writing fool, and may the Gods of Words be with me...and the force, of course.

All Humorists Go to Heaven...and other Queenisms

I so absolutely love your stories JJ! You are truely the Queen of Humor. Your blog posts always leave me laughing and feeling oh so much better. Thanks for sharing your wisdom, and humor with us.

I love your blog, too, your Majesty. Thanks for sharing with us!

My ego has been fed. (Queen picking up robes and heading to the kitchen for a treat)

By the way, Chatty, on FB I volunteered your house for a book launching party. Whatttt? No? I also volunteered Dotsie's, Dee's, and Eagle's. Bawwwwwhahahaha...teach you all to be friends with Moi!

Oreo's?? Like I have to ask? LOL

I'm going for 30-days, 30-blogs. The latest,

THE SONS

Yesterday when I received a copy of your blog JJ I added it to TWITTER so maybe you'll get even more appreciative readers like the rest of us who enjoy your blog so much.

Guess no one likes mine, 15 followetrs and never one comment, sigh!!!!

Chatty, I feel like a dunce. I thought you had discontinued your blog. Whenever you post something, isn't it suppose to let us know? If not, could you fix it where it would? I would love to read it and support you. I mean it!

Thanks for the latest blog of yours on THE SONS, I put that one on my TWITTER too. And thanks for commenting on mine. I appreciate it. I will have to see if there is a notification process for letting followers know I am blogging.

Jawjaw, I enjoyed them all!

Thanks again ladies. I'm continuing my quest of 30 days, 30 blogs. Whew...then again, when you are me, it's easy to find "stuff." LOL!

TGIF - Thank Goodness I'm [NOT] a Farmer

I hope ya'll will take a peek and leave a comment. Purdy please? My dental floss thanks you, and so do I. The tomatoes, not so much.

Got money? Who needs it when you have a bank, right?

The Bank Whisperer

Hope you'll stop by and deposit (pun intended)a comment!

Did.

You go, JJ. I know you will make it. When you are on a roll, ya just gotta do it!

The flavor of the day is Russell Crowe...he wants me. I'm sure of it.

Russell Crowe wants me...or should

Hubba, hubba!

Ahhhh...the good old days...or not.

The Good Old Days

Okay, there were of course some good old days... but frankly I think I'm living in the better days right now.

For the first time I feel free. Free of strict parents, free of school tests, free of making something of myself. I don't have to wonder what will my life be; I know now.
I'm free to decide, stay or go, work or not ( well, maybe not really..wishfull thinking there), and free to spend my free time the way I want to.
I love it. Thanks for reminding me, JJ.

Today, words failed me...but THE SON showed me how to find my heart's voice.

When Words Fail Me

I hope you'll read this. It was straight from the heart.

Girl, loved it. Please send me your new zip code so I can send you some Oreo's.

And your son looks so much like you. I know he's not the daddy of your grandbeauties, but I definitely see him in those twoo little girls too, especially the oldest one.

Today I had to write about the OTHER son. I know you all are glad I only have two children! HA!

Equal love...equal time

I hope you enjoy. Yesterday's must have hit some buttons because the responses were overwhelming! Thank you so much for the support.

Now that is a good mother!

You better believe I'm never ever going to tell you what I'm afraid of; besides huge growling dogs are too heavy to put on my arm.

Did I just give myself away?
Oops.

Height is my nemisis, I hate height. Large growling dogs not so much, I have a way with dogs for some unknown reason. I have been known to leave a trail behind me when chased by a wasp or bee and hate those pesky spiders too.

Keep it up girls....keep talking...bawwwhahahah...

I bet everybody will read this one. Hey, I heard that!

10 Ways to Annoy Your Friends

I dooo what I cannnn...

I added you to my own blog roll, JJ. Can't wait to see how to annoy my friends, although I am sure that I can top your 10!

No, I could not annoy my friends more than you! LOL

Ouch! sniff...sniff.

I agree, see my newest blog and my comments on your latest blog.

Done did. I thought you weren't posting till Friday's? No matter. Great blog and I agree. The postcard thing is a great idea!

Oh and thanks for stopping by, kiddo

chats, read your blog and I've often wondered why foundations, etc send stuff we haven't asked for because I never send money in return. I feel badly, but I support our church and charities that I choose to support. All of my mailing address labels have come free. I've gotten writing pads, calendars, note cards, etc. Thanks but no thanks.

Today's installment, for those of you on the 30-day plan, here is the latest. I know, I know, you couldn't wait. Ahem.

I don't feel funny today

Let's hear it for the Mom's of the world.

Love the blog today and no we can't always be on our game, on top, ready for anything. Sometimes we poop out, tire out and our minds need to replenish themselves. You JJ are so far above the rest in brain power, you think funny and thats no m inor task. I wouldn't worry for one slow minded day. LOVE that puppy!

Was that picture not the cutest thang you've ever seen? I fell in love with that baby. Thanks Chats...for the nice words. I swear I didn't pay her.................yet.

I could cuddle that soft little puppy all day long.

JJ, I read to my mom one of my "works" the other day.Usually she goes mm...mmm...mmmm....every few sentences or so. Last time she went zz...zzz...zzzz.....
So if you have problems falling asleep; give me a call.

If only you and I COULD talk. Would we have a gab fest or what? Wahhhhhhhh...I want to call!

Don't you agree that...

Housework makes you tired

Everybody who agrees, raise your hand. I thought so.

Ann, love the photo and you confirm my belief. Housework is evil.

Today, I found myself in...

A Tight Situation

I'm halfway there with my goal. Wuhoo!

A start to your summer fun...

Messin' with your neighbors

I commented on both your blogs...I was especially attracted to the 'messin with your neighbors' one. Oh and I do occasionally take that certain neighnor fresh baked cookies, and they never can figure out why...?

Thank you Chatty, and all of you for taking this 30-day journey with MOI. Yous guys will love today's. It's about crazy and unusual pet products.
Crazy Unusual Pet Products

Enjoy!

By the way, here's the Link to the article I refer to.

We've all done it...

Vacation of the Mind or as I like to say, I see dumb people. Specifically, ME.

My mind has apparently been on vacation as you'll see in my reply to this hilarious blog Georgia...

Chats, who cares? You and I are cut of the same MindCation...ours takes a leave whenever it wants...am I right?

We've all been there, done that...here is a way a friend of mine (and hubby) play a cat and human

Taking the Pet to the V-E-T

Enjoy!

Left you comments, JJ. I don't know how you come up with some of this stuff. Remind me not to tell you anything! LOL

Ahhh, come onnnn...I pinkie swear not to write bout it (Queen crosses fingers behind back)...

Whatttt?

Girls...do you fantasize? I dooooo...but only when I'm on the warpath.

Let's Have a Pow Wow

Princess Blog-a-Lot

JJ, you are outdoing yourself this month with all your blog entries!! This is how I start my morning now, with a laugh from you!

You're going to keep this up, right??? Right?

Darn tootin' much to everyone's dismay...LOL! 30 blogs, 30 days. This was number 23, I think. Tomorrow's won't be on till lateeeeee. I won't be around then darkthirty. And...I may skip tomorrow and hit it on Sunday. One can never tell with a fickle woman. Am I right?

The Old Fickle One

I love words..some I find funny and darkthirty is a new one I shall enjoy..even as a child I would find some words amusing.must touch a tickle in my brain.
I am listening to a local author on cd who is reading a book about his childhood...we must have hatched from the same clutch of eggs because I smile and remember many of his words.Rich prose about the coast villages I go to and some of my ancestors came from.One he mentions is how his grandfather fished in the "faraways" not on a map but a real place beyond the island..I feel I would like to visit the "faraways" maybe aT darkthirty JJ.
Thanks for todays smile.

Take a looksee at my new blog for this Friday. More of what:
MY MOTHER TAUGHT ME ABOUT...

Chatty I went, I read, I commented. I'm with Ruth in that all mom's speak the same Momeaseee...ain't it so! Another good one.

Saturday's post is a gripe.

Texting is Vexing

Grrrrrrrrrrrr....like there aren't enough dangers on the road?

Funny - my latest was kind of a gripe too. Is it the moon or tides or something??

Seeing some fool talking on a cell phone or texting while driving is my pet peeve, that and leaving an animal in a hot car in summer. I report them forth with and have gotten my share off the highway and fined, something I will continue to do.

Ruth, I can so relate to your post today. Amen sistah. It seems it all hits at once, doesn't it? Say...why does your blog say:

A username and password are being requested by http://twitter.com. The site says "Twitter API" ?????

I just hit cancel and post my comment. Is that okay?

Don't know why it says that - I'll check it out. Thanks for commenting.

In honor of ALL of your Dad's....

Daddy's Little Girl

Enjoy...sniff...sniff.

Great blog post, JJ. Brought tears to my eyes.

Have you ever seen a ghost? I did, sort of...

Ghost - I want to see one - No I don't - Yes I do - No--

THE SON may make a full recovery, they say.

When I saw this title, the first thing I thought was that you had seen the ghost of Elvis, but then I remembered he isn't dead but pumping gas/tending bar/working at a 7-11 somewhere in the back of beyond.

JJ, you're hilarious!!! I think your son should have put the sheet on himself and then very gently touched the tips of your hair... and you would turn around... and you would see... A GHOST! Arrgh!! Eeek!!

Hahahahaha, I can just see you! I bet you're not going to share those brownies with me, are ya?

What brownies...you should have asked sooner. And don't be putting any ideas in his head. The score is THE SON = 2 (and I ain't telling about THAT one) and Queen = 0...but I'm plotting my revenge.

Here we goooo!

Singing the Email Jail Blues

It's lonely when you're in the big house.

God I just love the picture of this Boxer. What a beautiful a animal. He/she looks like royalty...

Jawjaw,
I love your new avatar! How beautiful!

Thank you both. Isn't she gorgeous? Some day, I'll have another one. Some day...Here is today's thoughts, hopefully, for you amusement!

Kids...they never learn...

Getting Even by Spatula

The score is almost even...kids--never mess with yo Mama!

JJ, I got to ask you this. Are these stories popping up from no where, or have you been writing them for awhile. I mean if I had thought up one of these within a month...my brain would be doing a jig.

I sit in front of a blank screen each morning, and just be.

And I'm not lying this time. LOL!

These are things that have happened to me in the past, or something has inspired me to write about it.

As they say in the cartoons, "That's all folks!"

I love inspiration, JJ. I get inspired in the weirdest places - hmmm - maybe I should blog about that! LOL

Here's my latest:

Musings on Compassion

Just read your blog, yonuh. Couldn't stop at Musing on Compassion. You are a gifted writer, and I believe, a very compassionate soul. I bet you were/are an excellent nurse.

JJ, You sit infront of a blank screen and just let it be. I sit in front of my screen, and go blank; so be it. lol.

Next to the last one for the 30 days, 30 blogs, girls...read it while it's hot!

Why I Failed Beauty School

Sisters...they can be unforgiving...

Can't get into the blog from work - it's blocked. I'll have to read it tonight when I get home. And thank you, JJ, for the comments you leave on mine. EW, thank you for your comments, too. I am beginning to find that writing is cathartic; of course, I knew that, but had forgotten over the years as the mundane took over. I gave up on nursing in the late 80s after 20 some years. Now I crunch numbers; I like to joke that in accounting everything is fixable, and if I make a mistake nobody dies!

I am now following your blog as well yonuh and left you a comment.

I'm celebrating today. Yeah me! 30 Blogs in 30 Days! Wuhooo!

TGIF - Thank Goodness It's Finished!

And so it is written...

Great job, JJ -- absolutely wonderful writing; funny, meaningful, and all that good stuff.

Now how will I get my daily chuckle?? I'll miss you!!

Oh puleaseeee...like I would stop? Bawwwhahahah...I ain't dead, yet. If I ever do, check my pulse. I've either croaked, or need an Oreo.

Wanna try for 60 in 60? Please?? I'll send you Oreos.

Are you nuts? Bawwwhahah...ahem. Maybe once or twice a week. I have GOT to get this book finished. But aren't you just the sweetest thang?

Dag, I've got some catching up to do with your blog. Heading there now.

Can't wait for your next book, really!

I am blogging on Fridays Dancing Dolphin, could never be anywhere near, miles away from, not even close or as funny as our Queen but please do take a gander. I post informative things too.

thanks Chatty, I'll check it out! Is that the meaning of 'retired' now, you blog on Fridays but not every day?

No D.D. thats the way I can remain creative. If I try blogging everyday I lose my edge. That is why I understand how hard what JJ is doing truly is. I haven't got enough funny for that. I do try to mention informative subjects as well due to my lack of humorous style, and serious things can be helpful to those who are not as informed as I am... It's fun this way for me and when something ceases to be fun, with me, it just plain ceases...

I agree, Chatty, that it's hard to stay creative if the blog has to be done every day. I usually think of something I want to write about and then mull it over for a day or two before actually starting to write. But when I have it set in my mind, I just sit down and write. I'm not sure I could come up with topics if I had to write every day - I haven't tried. Sometimes, what I write doesn't come out the way I want it to; back in my perfectionist days, I wouldn't have let it go until it was perfect, but now, if I think it gets my message across, it's fine.

Absolutely yonuh... I am exactly the same way. I so admire JJ for writing everyday for 30 days and her blogs were all so funny and interesting. She is a ***STAR*** in my book...

Yes, the queen is absolutely a queeen! What a great discipline, to write 30 days in a row. It's fantastic.

Thanks gals...I wasn't going to blog for a while, but this came along and I had to help. Hope you will, too.

Animals, they are our friends

While I know there are TONS of shelters that could use our help, I know the peeps involved with this one. That's why I wanted to try and do my part. Thanks!

I would love to vote for them, JJ, but I vote for the shelter where I work, and I can't vote for more than one.

Not to worry. This is a win-win situation where some lucky shelter will be infused with the funds they need to keep the babies alive. How could that be wrong? I know everyone has their faves...so please, know that VOTING for any of them is what counts!

We have been our State's winner and received $1,000 one time. That was great as it came just as all the kittens started coming in - feeding those little tykes takes a lot of money!

VOTED and then put the message on Twitter, twice. Hopefully it will be read and acted upon. Great thing to blog about JJ... Bravo!

Thanks Chats...today it's all about Sammie da Burd who wanted "air" time. That burd! She cracks me up!

Sammie da Burd

Sammie is soooooo needy!

Happy 4th to my buds...and Towanda!

Celebrating the 4th, and Towanda

Be true to yourself!

I am caught up with all your blog posts, and I am happy

Not any more, Ms M...I just had to write today, thanks to Anno!

What's in a Name?

Enjoy! I see some of you already have...wuhoo!

Hey everyone, I was JJ's muse for the day. Whooooppppeeeeeee!

So how were you the muse for the day? Pray tell, dear Anno.

You have to read HER blog to find out!

Yes, please read my blog! Sometimes it's funny. However, I will never, ever try to compete with JJ. No, not me - I am adverse to moat duties.

Just signed on to follow your blog, Anno. You have some great posts there chronicling your journey.

Just enjoyed reading Anno and yonuh's blogs. It's so much fun to see what's going on in friend's lives and what's running through their minds. Thanks for blogging girls. It's another way for all of us to get to get to know one another.

Thank you. I have enjoyed blogging these past years. And yonuh, you have the best words of wisdom!

I realized I need a new set of friends. Do you qualify?

New Friends Needed

Haha, JJ. I'll send you Oreos - does that count?

You may just get the first T-shirt, gal!
