Email Chains - Fun Game!

We all receive at least 5 chain emails throughout the day. Most I delete without reading them. Some I read and then delete, but there are a few I will forward on. The following was one such chain email that I did forward on. It was pretty comical. This is how the game went….

THE GAME IS ON!

Describe ME in one word...just one single word. Send it to me and to me only.
Then send this message to all your friends and see how many strange &
interesting things they say about you. This is really fun.

Here's how to Play:
1. Hit the reply key and send me my one word.
2. Then return to this message, and forward it to your friends (including me)and see what people say about you when limited to one word!!!

Strange and interesting responses? Oh yeah! The following is what I received…

 Pleasant:
o Pleasing in manner, behavior or appearance.
 Hmm…I like this one!

 Gregarious:
o Seeking and enjoying the company of others; sociable.
 Birds of a feather flock together my friend!

 Optimistic:
o Expecting the best in this best of all possible worlds.

 Moody: (Who me???)
o Given to frequent changes in mood; tempermental.

 Bouncy:
o Animated; lively.
 LOL!

 Funky:
o Characterized by the originality and modishness; unconventional.
 I like this one!

 Outrageous:
o Highly unusual or unconventional; extravagant; remarkable.
 Girl, you are just as outrageous as I am! ;)

 Capricious:
o Governed or characterized by impulse or whim.
 Definitely impulsive!

Eratic Thoughts Part II

Why does 2nd grade homework take well over an hour each night??? Thank goodness we have Friday's off!

Hmmm...Perhaps that is why I can never complete a book of my own. After working all day and then getting home to prepare dinner, assist with homework, bathtime, etc. And by the way, why do people always call me when I get home? I only have a span of about 2 1/2 hours before Riles has to go to bed after all of the things she needs to do. It's almost impossible, but thank goodness she has me.... Super Mom! Yeah right! I feel so much less than that too many times to count.

Oh and back to my books...I did actually finish The Lucky One by Nicholas Sparks the first couple of days I got it. That was one thing accomplished, but what about all of the other books I am in the middle of? Why can I not seem to finish one and then move on to the other?? Does that say something about me? Am I destined to never complete a project, books, yardwork, etc. Do I get bored and want to move onto the next latest and greatest thing? Sounds like I need therapy for this one. Will check back with you later after I receive my counseling.

Book #1 Loving Frank by Nancy Horan - This is her debut novel about Frank Lloyd Wright, the famous architect. "A beautifully orchestrated rendering of the affair and the inner lives of its two love-torn pincipals. Undertated yet, dramatic, painstaking and convincing, this is fiction with the heft of truth." --Seattle Post Intelligencer --- The beginning of the book was okay, but by the time I made it to the middle, I was not into it at all. Therefore, I began another book (Book #2), Stephanie Meyer's, Breaking Dawn in which I eagerly anticipated it's release. The first 3 books that she wrote were phenomenal and I literally could not put them down. Breaking Dawn has not drawn me in as the others did. So that leads me to Book #3 that I am also in the middle of reading... "The Guy Not Taken" by Jennifer Weiner. Thank goodness this is a compilation of short stories. I've finished 2 so far. (I'm on a roll now!)

I'm hoping that I will eventually finish one, if not all of these books so that I can move on. I constantly see new books and want to get them, but I force myself not to pick them up. Repeating to myself, "you have 3 unfinished books at home. You have 3 unfinished books at home...." Sometimes that works, but sometimes it doesn't.

Well I'm off to make sure Riles takes her bath and gets ready for bed. The debate is tonight and I do not want to miss any of that. Lynn and Heather, I know you'll be watching! Text me when you feel a WOO HOO!!!

Jennifer & Jaime's Wedding 10/4/08

W.D. along with his daughters attended Jennifer and Jaime's wedding with Wayne, Riles & I this past Saturday.


Miss Thang!

Riles is growing up so fast! Look how big she looks! I absolutely cannot believe how time literally flies by.... Her and I were looking at photos the other day of her when she was a baby. I miss those days.

Nights In Rodanthe vs The Notebook Movies


I have not seen Nights In Rodanthe yet. However, I plan on seeing it on Sunday with Jahnay! Plus we are also going to see The Women. Anyway, I stumbled upon this wonderful photo from the movie The Notebook. I wonder if the movie, Nights In Rodanthe can live up to this! I fear it will not as I compare everything to The Notebook. Even all of Sparks' other pieces of work. Nothing comes close to The Notebook.
