Flash Friday 55 (Life is too short)

Don't say you love me
Don't say you're sorry
Life is too short
for regrets

know that you love me
Know that you need me
Know without a doubt
Its me you can't live
without

Feel and hear your heart
it leads you to where you belong
Life is too short
for regrets
its true!

Another Random Thought by me

Why is it that when you are tossing and turning from a restless night, you get up and start doing things in hopes to fall asleep? But, as soon as your head hits the pillow you can't go to sleep?

I have been up since 3:30am this morning and good grief I feel real real tired but everytime I put my head down on the pillow I am up again. Go figure.

Well atleast the house looks nice and clean and hopefully I can manage to sneak a little nap at some point.

I hope all the people that come to read my blog are having a great sleep, or had a great nights sleep. Take care and enjoy my random thoughts lol.

I found these questions on Akelamalu's blog

I found these questions on Akelamalu's blog and figured I would try and answer them lol. *REMEMBER TO CONTINUE TWO POSTS DOWN FOR MY 55*

The Mission Impossible Meme

Okey Dokey here's the second Queen's Meme from Mimi Queen Of Memes, where every Tuesday she will put up a new meme for us serfs to participate in with the threat of being thrown in the dungeon if we don't do it!






1. You are a guest on the space shuttle. You just arrived on the moon and realize you forgot something back home that you can't live without. What is it and how do you convince them to go back and fetch it? I am going to say that I may have forgot to pack my toothbrush which isn't likely but I would convince that morning breath is something none of us want to have to face but then again the only person breathing it in would be ourselves cause we would have our space suits and helmets on and well ewwww.





2. Pretend you are a teacher in a rough public school for one day. You have been assigned to teach Manners 101. You have the "challenging bad butt kids" class (remember this is a pretend school and anyway I can't say ass on my blog 'cause it's so unQueenly and I might get fined or something).


They are jumping up and down, cursing, and throwing things at you.


What is the first thing you would write on the board?Got Diploma? Then I am sure I would get ha thats funny or huh got diploma? Whats that mean? Simple you don't behave and you won't make it to graduation cause I am kicking your butt right on out the front doors.



3. Someone in your family or a friend has started a blog. They think it is anonymous but you have figured it out. They are saying derogatory things about you. Do you tell them or do you read it for awhile? Oh yeah I read it for awhile.


How would you handle it? Oh there is bound to be a family gathering where I can get a few good jabs in that they might not at first realize until a little later when they go oh no she knows, lol oh yeah I know and now I am holding it over your head lol.





4. If you had one dollar left in your pocket, what would you spend it on? I would drop it in a charity for children. I believe that the children are our future and there is always someone or something that needs that last dollar more than I do. Who knows they say one good deed deserves another right?



5. President Obama and the First Lady are coming over for dinner. What do you serve? Pizza but of course. Why change now. That is who I am very informal, full of fun, love my jeans and t-shirts and love to cut jokes. Not changing for anyone and hey with a partysize the secret service can grab a few slices too lol.



6. You walk in on your lover. They are trying on your clothes. I think I would have to pretend I was a flight attendant at this point and use both my hands to point out the exits and ofcourse and follow it up with hope the door doesn't hit you in the ass on your way out. OOps was that unqueenly of me? I prefer to be a princess cause queen is mighty stuffy don't you think?



7. Every astronaut must have shots! Choose your vaccination: You only get one and you can't enjoy any of the attributes of the other choices. You choose either: (1) The fountain of eternal youth and sexual vigor but only for 10 years (2) perfect health for a lifetime (3) eternal mind-numbing nirvana and peace of mind (4) unlimited hedonism for one year with no negative consequences





I am going with number 2. If I have perfect health for a lifetime well then my sexual vigor should be pretty good, and well I will always be the fountain of youth just ask my kids I am currently 21 lol shhhhhh. I have peace of mind but its not mind numbing I am sure it should be some days, and I believe every day should give you opportunities that bring about ultimate pleasure and there shouldn't be negative consequences if you are doing what you believe in and doing what you know is right.



*CONTINUE DOWN TO NEXT POST FOR 55 BUT LISTEN TO THE SONG IN ITS ENTIRETY HERE*

Flash Friday 55 (lyrics from Mariah Carey's song Butterfly)

When you love someone so deeply
They become your life
It's easy to succumb to overwhelming fears inside
Blindly I imaged I could
Keep you under glass
Now I understand to hold you
I must open my hands
And watch you rise

[Chorus:]
Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly

*I love this song*

Benefits of Girls Night Outs


Wow what a great time I had last night. First time in a long time that I got to get out with friends without kids go figure lol. One of the girls that came is a great friend of mine but I haven't gotten to see her in six years I believe was the last time we got together. We have managed to stay in contact via email everyday for the last two years just haven't had any down time between the two of us. Anyways there were four of us all total last night.

Our night started out at a local bead shop where we all made some cute things. I made a necklace from some beads and a main pendant piece that my youngest daughter had picked out for my special night out. It actually came out quite nice when all completed. I added the crystals to each side of the main pendant piece and crimped the sides so that the beads would not be free to move around and then I added my clasp which was sterling with a cute heart shape. My friend from high school made a great chunky pendant out of turquoise and black spacer beads it came out very nice for a first piece. Then one of the other girls made a very nice black beaded stretchy bracelet which was great. The last friend made something a little more intricate lol and wow it came out so nice. She made a three stranded variated bead necklace in sterling with the prettiest gray beads absolutely awesome. Good job to all of us.

I think we laughed so hard we nearly peed our pants talking about high school days, delivery stories of our children, and just life in general.

I think every one should be entitled to their girls or guys night out. The benefits are just so awesome. I mean the stress I had built up just out of daily stuff and work and what have you just to be able to get out not worry and take our times and converse with other adults was wonderful. I came home feeling like a weight had been lifted. I have already got plans for next months GNO and it will be rock climbing. I am afraid of heights but I am sure this will be an experience we all won't forget.

*The above pic is of the necklace I made very simple but it was fun* PLEASE CONTINUE DOWN 2 POSTS FOR MY 55

The Wooden Bowl (Kudos to the 4 yr old)

The Wooden Bowl

I guarantee you will remember the tale of the Wooden Bowl tomorrow, a week from now, a month from now,
a year from now.
A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and four-year-old grandson.
The old man's hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred, and his step faltered
The family ate together at the table. But the elderly grandfather's shaky hands and
failing sight made eating difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor.
When he grasped the glass, milk spilled on the tablecloth.
The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess.
'We must do something about father,' said the son.
'I've had enough of his spilled milk, noisy eating, and food on the floor.'
So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner.
There, Grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner.
Since Grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl.
When the family glanced in Grandfather's direction, sometimes he had a tear in his eye as he sat alone.
Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions when he dropped a fork or spilled food.
The four-year-old watched it all in silence.
One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood scraps on the floor.
He asked the child sweetly, 'What are you making?' Just as sweetly, the boy responded,
'Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and Mama to eat your food in when I grow up.
' The four-year-old smiled and went back to work.

The words so struck the parents so that they were speechless. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks. Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done.
That evening the husband took Grandfather's hand and gently led him back to the family table.
For the remainder of his days he ate every meal with the family. And for some reason,
neither husband nor wife seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped, milk spilled, or the tablecloth soiled.

Flash Friday 55 (flight)

Sorry I am about three words over this week.

"If you had wings,
where would you go"? she asked.

Well I would fly high above
all the pretty flowers but,
not too high though.

"Why not too high"? she asked.
Because I want to be able to
fly close to enough to you so
that when you feel a light
breeze tickle your skin
you'll know its me.

She smiled.

Flash Friday 55 (Surf Day)


The perfect day
perfect weather,
not too hot,
not too cold.

The breeze would
be light but,
refreshing.

A surfers dream day.
The waves would be
plentiful.

Hurrying to get
ready. They loaded
up and headed to
the beach.

White sand at their feet.
The ocean air is
all they smell.

They crave the waves!
