OK, I confess, in addition to being a monsterly addicted bibliophile (book-lovin' freak), I am also an information junkie. Due to my morbid fascination with dark things like death and destruction, I also happen to be a humor junkie, y' know, to offset the ugliness. Or maybe just self-medicating for the 'I-can't-help-it-I-gotta-look' sickness. Who knows? Anyhoo...I figured it would be kinda nifty to, at the end of each entry, put a favorite scripture and then either a cool quip/quote or a tiny joke. So that's the big master plan for the end of this entry...lol...and that's pretty much the end of my planning day. I DO have a really good excuse though. My mother is in California for an extended period of time helping my Grandpa, so I am doing a "while-you-were-out" kind of thingy to her house. Oh, I am sure she will hate me when she gets back and all her rat piles are gone. But I fear she is in danger of turning into one of those lonely widow cat ladies living in the house with newspapers in the window and 30 years worth of trash and old cars in the yard. Seriously, I'm thinkin' I got a good chance of finding Jimmy Hoffa here, maybe even the Lost Colony. She subscribes to almost every magazine known to mankind....well, ok, maybe just to old women.....but the point is, she reads NONE of them! She has pay stubs from my fathers jobs from BEFORE I was born. In case you missed it, that would be roughly back in the Jurassic Period. Well, I have two littles napping and two attitudes parked at the table, sulking into their assignments. So I am off to find a fly-flopper or wooden spoon and go issue empty, hollow threats. "And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear." Isaiah 65:24 "My three year old great-granddaughter learned the word expensive, and she was using it to describe everything. I had to ask, "Sweetheart, do you know what expensive means?" "Yes, " she said. "It means that you don't need it." Margaret Greenfield in RD |
