I didn’t even need to thin about it long, as the question only made me nervous!
In answer to what makes me nervous, WordPress, it’s YOU asking me what makes ME nervous!
Why do you want to know? Who’s asking you to ask me what makes me nervous, and how much did they have to pay to get you to ask me?
Honestly, when facing a generic and sort of personal daily prompt question like this…
The word NUNYA seems to be all that pops into my noggin!
That, and cookies…
Of Course!
Laughter, as they say, is one of the best medicines… for the body, mind, AND Soul!
I love watching things that make me laugh, but to unwind, I need specific kinds of things to make me laugh the right way… the unwinding way!
Musicals!!! They have to be on the top of my laughter list… Remember Mary Poppins? Remember the scene where everyone is stuck on the ceiling because they couldn’t stop laughing? Here…
One of my fav’s!
There are those times that I need to watch a comedy or two, but there are those days where I binge watch Dry Bar Comedy, where the jokes and stories are funny… not rude, crass, or gross. My kids are all grown and gone, so I no longer have to put up with that stuff.
Last, but certainly not least, I love to laugh with friends. Whether we watch something together, play online games together, or simply talk on the phone… again, laughter is often the best medicine for what ails ya, which this prompt refers to as “a demanding day”. Just sayin…
Here, want a funny cookie?
Mamma’s not feelin so good, just now. I thought I’d just sit and color with her for awhile, as she’s been trying to write a post for today… and has yet to get anything done, unless you count how many times she’s sneezed and nearly spilled her coffee everywhere. Ahhhh… the joys of spring sniffles.
Have a blessed day.
Oh my goodness, have I got Babyitis, just now! Perhaps you’ve heard of it, or possibly even suffered from it, at one time or another.
It came on quite suddenly, if I’m being honest. Usually, the symptoms are small and slow to appear… at least, that’s how it’s been for me, in the past.
Not this time! I was not prepared for it to bring me to my knees (metaphorically) in the middle of Walmart, yesterday. There I was, innocently looking at yarn, with the hope that I can make one last baby blanket, before my arthritis robs me of this passion. This has to be one of the most important blankets I’ll ever craft, as this baby seems to have become the bridge in which God might mend something that I, myself, broke. Sorry, I went sort of deep, there for a moment.
Anyways, I found some really adorable colors to work with, as we don’t yet know the gender of this upcoming little blessing. Here, I’ll show you…
Hopefully, this will become something lovely… and I’ll show you update pictures of my progress, just for fun!
So, there I was in the aisle of crafts, with my chosen yarn held firmly in my arms, when something caught my eye. I spied a stuffed bunny ear… and I cannot be held responsible for what occurred next. It wasn’t my fault! I wasn’t prepared for the onslaught of all those symptoms of Babyitis.
My poor husband had a hard time keeping up with me, as we were heading toward the check-out. Finally, he says, “why on earth are you walking so fast… wait, what’s in the cart that you don’t want me to see?” Busted!
No worries… Babyitis comes with a positive perk…
I think it makes one smell like either chocolate, or cookies… or both! For some crazy reason, whenever I have an symptoms of Babyitis surface, my hubby just smiles softly with a strange look in his eyes, similar to when he drinks the cocoa I make… weird, huh?!
When these crazy symptoms first surfaced, yesterday, I did attempt to promise that it wouldn’t happen again, but then changed my mind. While I may be able to exercise some amount of restraint, being the mature adult that I am, I cannot say that this won’t happen again… in fact, I have a feeling that he’s going to have hide any spare change laying about!
Delicious and rich vanilla creamer in my morning coffee, for starters! Anyone that knows me will not be surprised at my first choice. I do tend to mention my love of coffee often, in fact, I’d venture to say I do it nearly every day. Hey, at least you know what you get with this girl… a lot of God, followed by cookies and coffee.
Anyways, getting back to this everyday happy list, choices 2 thru 5 are rather easy:
A full tube of toothpaste
Toilet paper
Frequent hugs
and of course…
Cookies!!!!!!!!
I know, I know… I’m a bit late to the voyage party! Lucky for me, Wiwohka left this nifty little sailboat behind for me to use.
I can’t say that it’s entirely my fault, as she’s the one that’s been overfeeding me, of late.
So, I’ve gotten into the bad habit of, you guessed it, sleeping in!
Maybe I should go back to sleeping on the floor, as that hammock is way too comfy!
Oh well! I left it at the barn… no bad habits for this camel, uh uh! I couldn’t live with myself if I were trying to encourage you to get through the workweek, if I were to miss the good bits of this adventure, due to oversleeping… ya know?!
If I can let go of my squishy soft hammock for the foreseeable future… well, hopefully you can make it to Friday.
Anyways, I’ve been doing too much talking and not enough steering here, so I should probably get back to sailing.
Oh hey, I think I see the ship in the distance. If the wind holds, If think I can just catch up to it!
I choose water… duh! I mean, come on… think of all the ways water can be used:
It can take you places you never thought you could go…
Call it swimming, flying or rowing… or sometimes just playin in a bucket in the barn.
Water gives strength, health, and a whole lotta power…
Most importantly, water brings life…
and I swear that most all the good things that happen in my life… happen on or near the water.
Even in the dark of night, when things seemed impossible water can carry you through it…
Trust me when I say that one gets a good workout! Maybe we even come out the better for it, in the end.
If you’re lucky, you get to learn some pretty neat stuff while you ride the waters… I did!
Like how to bake cookies without getting motion sick…
Go on… take one. They aren’t wet or anything, I swear!
I hope I’ve plenty of willing adventurers that are ready to set sail, once more, into uncharted waters… well, what say you?
(Squagon) Aye Capt’n…
Reporting for duty… if you’re in need of some mate’s, that is.
(Miss Tilly) You wouldn’t think of going without me, would you?
I’ve always wanted to sail the seas on your ship, Meemaw.
(Lilly) Wait! Wait! What about me?
Can I come too? Can I… pretty please???
(Mini Wiwohka) You know she’d never leave you behind, Lil!
I could sure use your help in the galley… what say you?
(Nugget) If she won’t help you, I would love to help with the cookie stuff…
I promise I won’t eat much!
(Bailey) I’ll come along, as well… to make sure nobody gets into too much trouble, that is.
Just promise not to leave me with any strange pirates… okay??
This mighty ship will not be leaving port until each and every last needed crewmate has boarded… that means everyone of you!
I can’t believe it, but even Boomer showed…
and he’s smiling!!!
(Dinky) Time and love have a way of healing even the deepest hurting hearts…
and I should know, cause I’ve been healing, too!
Well? What say you?
Once again, my crew and I are ready to set sail into unfamiliar waters!
Will you join with us as we travel toward unknown shores? I am hoping I’ll see you aboard.
All is ready, so if you’re up to the task… well, just grab any cabin you’d like. This ship comes with many, many rooms… and tons of cookies!
I’ve missed you, each and every one of you… Blessed Hugs!
Tilly and I agree that Bibles and cookies are the two best things ever!!!! Think about it for a second… I’ll wait… ok, I’ll tell you what I mean. Both bibles and cookies are good for the heart, the mind and the soul. They both make us happy, heal our hurts, fill us up, give us loads of energy… and make us better human beings!
Just sayin…
For now, we’ll start with the cookie…
We can share it! Hugs
Manufacturers of everything baby safe have made it nearly impossible for adults to open the thing not meant for a baby to touch… you know, pill bottles or doors or packages, etc.
Don’t get me started on those baby gates… sheesh!
Ahhh… the joyful memories of trying to open a door with one of those safety covers, while your arms are full of either laundry or toys or I don’t know… a sleeping baby!
So, yeah… there’s that!
It probably goes further than just childproof stuff, if I’m being fully. Most likely, we’ve probably all dropped food on the floor, at one time or another, due to a failed attempt at opening the wrapper. I know you don’t want to admit it, but you know it’s happened!
So yeah, I want to be skilled in the opening of all things childproof, and I think I’m onto something, in this regard. To be a ninja, one must practice and train constantly, which in turn uses up ones energy, making them hungry, right!? What if we put superfood for the brain into our favorite meals and snacks? I’ve already begun field testing, but I could sure use some outside opinions, just to be sure that I’m on the right track.
Here, try one of these magic safety cookies…
Let me know if they work, or if there are any side effects to make note of, like itchy feet… not that there’s anything to be concerned about, at least, I don’t think so.
Journey With Me!
