Random Friday

I think I am going to keep riding on Rachel Sue's coattails.  I am really liking this Random Friday thing.  I like it because sometimes our minds just work like that. And I like the way she writes it.

A lot of you asked me what the heck those pod things were from Wordless Wednesday.  A couple of you gave some ideas.  A carob tree.  And itchy pods.  The pods themselves can in fact cause itching...bad itching.  So do not touch them. It took some searching...and because I can't let things go and I am a bit of dork... I give you the Brachychiton Populneus or Bottle Tree from the Sterculiaceae Family.

You can learn more about that tree here.  I think we should dub it the weird pod tree.  It comes from the land down under.  We also have Eucalyptus trees here.

I was driving to pick up kids from school, and got behind a very scary driver.  She kept drifting a bit and wasn't going much over 25 in 35 zone.  It was a little old granny hardly able to see over the stirring wheel.  Think Ferris Bueller.  Well maybe not quite that bad, but scary close.

I am more LOST now than I was last season when LOST ended.  They say this season will answer questions...they failed to mention it would also create MORE!

Kristin has bronchitis.  That sucks.  She is coughing hard.  She has been to the doctor.  She has meds.

Migraines suck.  Migraine medication rocks.

I was bestowed with an award from one of my newer followers.  Queen Vee.  Check her out!
  So now it is my turn to pay it forward.....

Why do all high school play stills look the same? A fireplace behind a couch and people standing around? Our high school photog must have beamed over to your school.

Lost gets more confusing every season. Perhaps the joke is on us and we will find out in the end that the creators have purposefully led us on a wild goose chase leaving us LOST.

Have a great weekend!

I might have to jump on board with this Random friday thing! It's pretty ingenious!

I stumbled over from Laura 'The Bignell Family's' blog and had to comment when I saw that you are also unconvinced that Lost will really be wrapping everything up in one season. That show makes me want to tear out my hair, but I can't stop watching.

1. I love Random Friday too.

2. I hate driving around people like that. It scares me to death. I will rearrange my route to get away from them.

3. Thanks for the award! You are so sweet!

What was the play??? Great random post, drivers who can't drive scare me.... I think people ought to have to pass a driving test at least every 2 years.

A Leave of Absence

Image
I just wanted let you all know that I am taking a (short) leave of absence. I was feeling under the weather last Friday, and Saturday I was a lump. By Monday I felt almost normal again. Tuesday even better! By Wednesday night the whole left side of my face felt completely packed. Today(Thursday) I am at death's door. Or maybe it's at mine! All I know is, I haven't felt this crappy in a long time. I spent the day at my mom's and mostly slept. Thanks Mom. Now Rich is home and he is running the show. I shall return...as soon as I stop feeling like this.

We celebrated Easter...can I find my pictures anywhere???  Nope. Something developed.... I still do not know what to think of these two who claim to only be friends.  It will be an interesting two years.  He leaves for his mission next month in Taiwan.   We went to the Living Desert.  A new and interesting experience.   May: I know I have a good friend in Emmy because whenever I text her to shoot me, she simply sends me a "bang."  It's only because I've got her back. Speaking of my bestie we went to Indio with her family in May and had a blast. She is fun!  It's why I love her!   Kristin was in her third play i...

Dancing with the Stars---Dead

Image
That is how the show was introduced on Halloween night.  "Dead, from Hollywood, it's Dancing with the Stars!"  with your host, Tom Boooo-geron! Oh and Brooke who didn't get a play on her name.  Tonight, the dances are all spooktacularly themed.  Plus there is also a team dance. David and Kym 1-800-868-3406 David and Kym are dancing The Cha Cha and David wants to add magic to the act, so they bring in a professional magician to help with some basic tricks.  I enjoyed their Cha Cha.  It was fun. Len said it had  lots of tricks and treats and that David turned himself into a dancer! Bruno told him he has got the prestige, and that he was a natural at turning tricks. Carrie Ann said his improvement was phenomenal. She said he was polished and finessed, but that he needed to work on his holds. Scores: Carrie Ann:  8 Len: 8 Bruno: 8 Total: 24  JR and Karina 1-800-868-3410 JR and Karina are dancing the Tango to Ghostbusters...
