Beautiful 2000

Can you find me?

I’m in some mighty fine company! Friends in the collage include:

Beaman

Ben

Cat

Char

Dariana

Julia

HART

Liz

Logic

Matt

Mike

Miss Cellania

Peter

Rod

Sandy

Seth

And a big thanks to Tino who brought it all together!

This is such fun! I want to click on everyone - LOL

I’m sure I missed some, but I have to get up to the hospital now. There are a lot of pictures and I don’t know what many of my blog buddies look like! Let me know and I’ll add you!

My father-in-law is still not doing very well. His pneumonia got worse, his blood pressure is down and his urine catheter caused bladder bleeding. When he is conscious his lucidity is in and out. It’s very nerve wracking. And not easy to blog about, much less make funny. I’ve got a lot of funny stuff on here, check the archives or buy the book - LOL

Anyway, I’m trying to catch up on a few friends today, and wanted to say hi to everyone.

Peace and joy to all of you!

Mmmmm

Marti as an m & m character

Purple, ‘cause that’s my favorite color
Blonde hair, ‘cause…like, duh - lol
Wearing eyeglasses, ‘cause I’m damn near blind without them
Sensible shoes for a woman with two metal ankles
Coffee cup, due to sleep deprivation

Does it look like me? LOL

Make one of yourself for your blog!
I can’t get the damned link to work for some reason - it is:
http://www.becomeanmm.com

I could say something incredibly crude like eat me, but that would be wrong. LOL

After the week I’ve had, I think it’d be more like “bite me” anyway.

Pacing the halls in a hospital is hideous. Zero on the fun scale. Father-in-law’s condition has swung wildly back and forth, blood pressure unstable, in and out of coma. Fortunately, his condition is starting to stabilize. Mine has deteriorated into blathering incoherence. So I needed a little something to make me smile, and when I saw Hillbilly Princess had this cute little m & m character (complete with crown and fishing pole - LOL) I decided to make one for myself.

Also, today is Amy’s birthday!

So jump over and wish her well! She designed this beautiful template, which I need to request an update for, since Christmas was a month ago - LOL!

I thank all of you who continue to stop by, since I haven’t had time to visit much.

Still waiting (tapping foot impatiently - lol) for more of you to weigh in on the Million Dollar Meme - what you would do (or not do) for a million dollars.

(I know I’m nagging, I’m stuck on these “m” things today - lol)

Someday when you come up blank on what to post, consider answering, ‘k?

I hope this finds all of you well, and that everyone has a fabulous weekend!

Whatta Week

A little more than a week ago the ice storm started. What fun (if you’re a tow truck driver)! Went slip-slidin’ away back and forth on the insanity run.

The jackass brigade was out in full force…morons with bald tires, small brains and big egos. Ain’t no ice storm gonna slow them down! That telephone pole they wrapped themselves around does, though.

Monday was Martin Luther King Day, and the irony of ironies occurred. I actually saw a commercial for a MLK white sale. Seriously.

Tuesday everything went to hell. My father-in-law fell on the ice. Broke his hip. Laid in the yard for fifteen minutes before anyone found him. Once they got him to the hospital, they discovered a heart murmur that my mother-in-law explained to them he has had ALL HIS LIFE. He’s 89. Healthy as a horse (prior to the busted hip anyway - lol)

But they wouldn’t do anything for the hip until they could have a specialist look at the heart, because God fuggin forbid they run the liability risk of doing anything logical.

So he suffered for a full day (“No, I don’t like taking pills,” he grimaced at the offer of pain medication, unlike me, who, whenever I am broken, gladly accepts and pleads for more - LOL)

We got them to slip it into his IV. Me and mom-in-law are sneaky bitches - LOL

Got an offer to go eat at, “A great new Mexican place”.

Not. Not. Not.

Taco Bueno is awful. Beyond awful. I would have sooner eaten gauze bandages at the hospital. Used ones.

So now he’s recovering. Didn’t have to have total hip replacement, as once the doctors figured out their malpractice insurers would allow them to FIX him, they were able to put a pin in his leg to put the bone back together. Has a touch of pneumonia in one lung, but is improving.

Meanwhile, I am still gagging at the mere thought of the world’s worst enchilada.

S’posed to get six inches tonight. (Snow you gutter-minds - lol)

Hope this finds all of you well!

Should I be worried?

Like everyone who uses the Internets (snicker) I get a lot of spam. Spam e-mails, spam comments, spam blurbers at Squidoo.

But today, my spam e-mail was not for ways to enlarge my penis, have a Nigerian send me millions of dollars, or asking me to forward this to 20 people so my wish will come true.

Today I got power chair scooter store, and plan your funeral.

Is there something someone isn’t telling me? LOL!

We are under a winter weather advisory - a bit of an oxymoron for the middle of the geographic US in the middle of January, but that’s why the meteorologists get the big bucks - LOL! We’ve got lots of ice. If only I had some vodka!

- - -

Need a laugh? My sense of humor is frozen. Clearly, we need to legalize all drugs - LOL

Even without drugs, (but with her beloved unstirred coffee - lol) Amy has a hilarious piece about waxing her you-know-what (and I don’t mean her coffee table).

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Acceptance Speech,

on the occasion of the award of the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo, December 10, 1964

I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality.
This is why right temporarily defeated is stronger than evil triumphant.
I believe that even amid today’s motor bursts and whining bullets, there is still hope for a brighter tomorrow.

I believe that wounded justice, lying prostrate on the blood-flowing streets of our nations, can be lifted from this dust of shame to reign supreme among the children of men.
I have the audacity to believe that peoples everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies, education and culture for their minds, and dignity, equality and freedom for their spirits.

I believe that what self-centered men have torn down men other-centered can build up.
I still believe that one day mankind will bow before the altars of God and be crowned triumphant over war and bloodshed, and nonviolent redemptive good will proclaimed the rule of the land.

“And the lion and the lamb shall lie down together and every man shall sit under his own vine and fig tree and none shall be afraid.”
I still believe that We Shall overcome!

One year ago, my original blog, Digital Doorway Enter the Laughter (all content has been transferred here) was named to the Blog Herald’s 100 Blogs in 100 Days” list! I am still extremely honored!

I know this is an incredibly dull post. Sorry. We can’t seem to shake the flu, it is five degrees Fahrenheit outside and my brain is dull. We got three inches of sleet so I am just glad to still have electricity. Daughter was scheduled to have the day off, and husband dropped Son of at McDonald’s on his way in to work, so I was spared the slippery wetness, which is not anywhere near the fun of, “new guy wetness” that some friends who’ve recently begun dating again have been discussing. *snicker*

Sorry, I can’t discuss it any further, I am bound by the Covenant of Silence (cos) - LOL

I do hope that 2007 is treating all of you well! Smile on your brother, everybody get together, try to love one another, right now.
