This Morning's Conversation

Mr. Sister: Good morning.
Me: *Heavy sigh* Good morning.
Mr. Sister: What's wrong?
Me: I don't know, just feeling weird, I guess.
Mr. Sister: Oh, I forgot to tell you. I have tomorrow off!
Me: Darn! I'm sorry. Please don't take that the wrong way.
Mr. Sister: How could I not take it that way?
Me: I'm really sorry. It's just that there are a lot of things going on tomorrow morning and I have a tendency to not get things done when you're at home.
Mr. Sister: I'm planning on sleeping in. I had to get up early over the weekend.
Me: Good luck with that. I will be getting up early in order to try to get things done. Besides, I had to get up early over the weekend, too! 
Mr. Sister: That's not the same.
Me: Yes, it is.
Mr. Sister: Listen, it's not about you.
Me: Yes, yes it is. It's ALWAYS about me!
Mr. Sister gives up, exasperated at the cunning logic of his beautiful bride.


To be fair. There is another side to the story and it can be found here. You be the judge.

Monday Musings-November 9

Dear Carolina Panthers,

I feel very fortunate that I was so extremely busy at work, yesterday, that I was unable to see you all blow the lead you had accumulated in the 1st half. Mr. Sister tells me that, all in all, it was a pretty good game with the exception of the last fumble in the 4th quarter. 

I beg of you to please play some awesome football next week. I am actually off work and plan on attending the game. I pray it's a better experience than the last game I attended. 

That is all.

Mrs. Sister

Yes, I know Halloween is over. Unfortunately, this is how I look to all the patients I have worked with the past several weeks. I know, pretty scary, huh.

Free Flowing Bloggy Love Continues!

 

Received from Who Has the Thyme 11/8/09

Received from Tattoos and Teething Rings 11/8/09

This just in. The 5th Sister, nearing her 1 year blogging anniversary, has received 2 additional awards to add to her collection. "I didn't see this one coming! I am extremely humbled and honored", Mrs. Sister was heard to say. "Tats and Raouly's Girl are wonderful and loyal cyber-friends. It's so very fortunate that, despite our vast differences, we have become really quite close. My hope is to someday meet these lovely ladies in person."

Mrs. Sister then went on to state, "I did a spit take when I received the Badass Blogger Award. Considering the mood and state of mind I was in yesterday, this was so totally appropriate. And the Lovely Blog Award was the icing on the cake to the free flowing bloggy love going around these past several weeks."

Mrs. Sister, in abiding by the rules of these prestigious awards, has gladly forwarded these awards on to the following nominees:   Stir Fry Awesomeness and A Dash of Life. In doing so she states, "Kys is one of my newest bloggy buddies. She truly fits the role of Badass Blogger! I also want to recognize my bestest Greek friend, Gracey. Her blog is truly lovely and deserving of this award. I do hope my blog friends and followers will take it upon themselves to check these ladies out. Well worth the time"

Sacred Sunday: Simple Gifts

When my daughter was but a wee infant, we began a nightly ritual. Part of this ritual, right before tucking in, was to hold her, to rock her gently all the while singing to her what she would eventually call "Simple Games". It's a sweet and beautiful tune with a wonderful history. It also contains a simple, yet profound message that makes it Sacred Sunday worthy. Enjoy.

Weekend Rerun: Mr. Radiant

Now that the weather has begun to cool down, I thought I'd bring back this post from March 2009. Enjoy.


Meet my friend, Mr. Radiant. He is one hot dish! Whenever I am near him he really gets my blood flowing. He understands my needs and is always at my beck and call.

You see, I have Raynoud's Disease. Although I haven't been "officially" diagnosed, my physician is pretty certain I have this condition. My symptoms are classic. If my hands or feet get the least bit cold, blood shunts away from my fingers and toes, causing a color change to take occur. My toes get dusky blue but my fingers turn pale white! Often times there is pain associated with this, especially with my fingers. It's quite disconcerting.

Having Raynoud's, along with a frugal husband (who keeps the thermostat no higher than 68 in the winter), made it necessary for me to seek this unconventional friendship. If that's wrong, then I don't want to be right!

Friday Funnies

I am headed off to work. Unfortunately (or fortunately as the case may be) I am unable to produce a noteworthy blog for this day. Instead, I will leave you with a couple of fairly lame jokes I heard today:


What's the difference between a train and a teacher?
A train goes "Choo-Choo". A teacher goes "Spit it out!"


When is a door not a door?
When it's a-jar!


What do you call a sleepwalking nun?
A roamin' Catholic.


"Waiter, this coffee tastes like mud!"
"Yes sir! It's fresh ground!"


Why are proctologists so gloomy?
They always have the end in sight.

How does it change many dyslexics to take a lightbulb?

Had enough? Yeah, I don't blame you either. Make it a good day and have a wonderful weekend everyone!

The Awards are Racking Up

My new and dear bloggy friend, Ms. Bibi over at  From Misery to Happiness in 365 days has deemed my humble blog worthy enough to award me with the Superior Scribbler Award. She has no idea how much I have coveted this award! Thank you, sweet friend. I hope to do you proud.


There are some rules that accompany this award and they are as follows:


1. Each Superior Scribbler I name today must in turn pass The Award on to 5 most-deserving bloggy friends.
2. Each Superior Scribbler must link to the author & the name of the blog from whom he/she has received The Award.
3. Each Superior Scribbler must display The Award on his/her blog.
4. Each Superior Scribbler must post these rules on his/her blog.


The 5 blogs that I would like to forward this award to are:


1. Su at This Stop Willoughby - Her encouragement has been my driving force since I began blogging almost 1 year ago. Thank you, Su. You mean more to me than you will ever know. Also, I know she has a book in her just aching to burst forth! 
2. Ditto to Christi over at Who Has the Thyme - She has the courage to say out loud what I think in my head but am afraid to voice. Although there are a few issues we do not see eye to eye on, we can debate and remain good blog buddies. You go girl!
3. A new friend of mine quite deserving of this award is Heather from The Extraordinary Ordinary. I am in awe of her writing style and the wisdom of her words. Well worth your time to follow. 
4. Cindy over at Running With Letters is a phenomenal artist of the written text whom has endeared herself to my heart despite our short friendship. Please check her out. She weaves magic with words. 
5. Finally, I would like to recognize Purple Hoodie Chick over at Bashful Toast. She's a sweet young thing who is taking life by the reigns and holding on for dear life. She's a breath of fresh air!
