The Joke's on me!

Greetings faithful followers . . . all three of you. ;)

Well, as I said, the joke's on me. That Irishman was a sweet talking guy, with nothing to show for it. We never even saw each other after he got my number, although he called me several times. He would tease me about wanting to kiss me and I have to admit it was a very tempting idea. He seemed really nice and I really enjoyed talking with him. Yesterday he announced on facebook that he was in a relationship with some other girl, so . . . ha! Bummer! But, I'd rather know than just be sweet talked.

My niece, Kristen is in town and she is a bundle of energy and fun. At times things get a little out of control, but she's a youngin' so we have fun. We went for a ride on the roller coaster at Bellmont Park last Saturday and scared her silly. She was screaming and crying, poor thing! She started wailing just as we started climbing the first swell (or whatever it's called). And it only got louder and more desperate after that. I looked over at her and she honestly looked like she was in the middle of having her life pass before her very eyes. Meanwhile, I couldn't stop laughing. I was having an absolute blast! Afterwards she said she never wanted to go on it again and was scared out of her goard to even get herself out of the roller coaster car. She cried hard for a good 10 minutes afterwards before settling down. However, an hour later she was saying she LOVED it and wanted to do it again. She couldn't wait to tell people about it. That got me to laughing again.

One of my niece's favorite games to play in the car is tuti-fruiti. I guess that's what my dad called it. It's really "I'm thinking of a fruit [or vegtable] what is it? It was just me, Kristen and my dad on Saturday. When it was my dad's turn he kept thinking of a fruit and we'd ask him all these different questions only to discover it was a banana THREE TIMES IN A ROW! So now the joke is:

I'm thinking of a fruit . . .
Is it yellow?
YES!
Is it a banana?
YES!

Oh goodness. The joys of consistency.

I just found out one of my friends from HS is engaged to be married. I'm excited for him and his fiance. I have no way of getting in touch with him, I guess I could if I tried harder, but MOTO if you're out there . . . CONGRATS!! I'm excited for you.

My little fish has taken to hiding behind the filter. The firt time he did it I honestly thought he'd jumped ship. But the little guy is getting more adept at staying in that little corner and I think he likes just hanging out there.

We're getting the plans laid out for the big 35 Birthday! Any ideas? My friend and I are working on something fun, just tell me if you want to know more . . .

My room has turned into a virtural pig sty and I'm not talking about a virtual as in solely on the internet. I was doing so well keeping the room clean. It was probbly cleaner than any other time of my life. And for those of you who have been my roommates, or come over for a sleep over, you know just how bad it can get. BUT, I am turning over a new leaf and I'm going to clean it all by the time I go to work tomorrow. Promise.

The entire changing time thing has thrown me off a bit. I can't believe it's already almost 9pm.

My group, "Support For Mormons With Mental Health Concerns" now has 70 members and growing strong. I have made some new friends through it and feel that it's a good sounding board. Spread the word, we'd love to meet more people!

Well, I'm going to sign off and go catch up on that movie my family is watching downstairs. If any of you have seen a good movie tell me about it. I just saw Lightening Thief. It was pretty well written and the graphics were well done, but the fighting was like watching those movies from the early '80's where everything is prepositioned and, well, you get the idea. I really had fun watching it though.

Until later, MOPS
