Another Tribute: REVEILLE

This might be a little late for Memorial Day, but it's never too late to honor those brave men and women who have served or are still serving in the armed forces. The following video gives new meaning to a picture speaks a thousand words.

Honor Our Armed Forces

As Americans, we should never forgot those brave men and women in our armed forces who help keep us safe. Honor those who have given their lives to protect us and respect those who are deployed in foreign countries on our behalf. Without their sacrifices, we wouldn't have a country today.

Age Activated Attention Disorder

One of my good friends sent this to me.

I laughed at this until I realized that this is exactly what I do. Now finally somebody has made a movie of it!

To All Mothers

                                               

I want to wish each and every mother out there Happy Mother's Day. Don't let anyone tell you differently, but it's one of the toughest, yet most rewarding jobs in the entire world. Of course, unless you're James M. Cain’s, Mildred Pierce. (Perhaps seeing the HBO miniseries the night before wasn't helpful in celebrating motherhood.)

Being a mother is an awesome job. You have to make decisions for a human being that cannot fend for themselves. It's like a sculptor molding a lump of clay into an artistic piece of beauty. Sometimes the clay is easy to work with and sometimes it isn't. And sometimes we make mistakes and wrong decisions.

Children become our lives and because of them we strive to move mountains or try to create new ones. They define our days as they grow and we never stop thinking of them even after they leave the nest. I look back on my life as a series of vignettes starring my children. They have always been my main source of tears—both happy and sad, but I wouldn't be who I am without them.

Read Your Shampoo Bottle

Check your shampoo bottle label


I had to share this with everyone...love it!

Check your shampoo bottle label.

I don’t know WHY I didn’t figure this out sooner!

It's the shampoo I use in the shower!

When I wash my hair, the shampoo runs down my whole body and

(duh!) printed very clearly on the shampoo label is this warning…

FOR EXTRA VOLUME AND BODY!

NO wonder I have been gaining weight!!!

Well! I have gotten rid of that shampoo and I am going to start using

Dawn dish soap instead.

Their label reads,

DISSOLVES FAT THAT IS OTHERWISE DIFFICULT TO REMOVE.

Problem Solved!!!

If I don't answer the phone …I'll be in the shower!!!

Sounding Off

I've been working on the edits of a new novel penned by Candy Caine. The title is The Reconstruction of Carla Millhouse. Strange title--uh-huh, but it felt right. All the characters are somehow connected to each other like the movie Crash. I guess it's like what we do somehow touches a number of people. Anyway, it should be out soon at Arrow Publications. Unfortunately life and work has been getting in the way of my progress.

For example, our 100lb Yellow Lab named Sammy is a blonde bimbo. (my husband tagged her this) With some respects, he's right. The big dum-dum ate a critter in the backyard and had the runs for a few days. Realizing this condition wasn't correcting itself, we took her to the vet. Waiting to be called, a small dog came in and barked at ours. Sammy pushed herself so far under my husband's chair that she literally got stuck. Needless-to-say, those two hours I spent at the vet could have been used editing. I think you can see where I'm going here.

Keep your eyes peeled, because eventually, I'm going to finish.

Funny Video

I went to school with John Bernstein who claims his dog sings just as good as he does. I can attest to that. (LOL).

Here's Tucker!
