The Island Heroine

I found out about this great little website through another blogger. It's provided quite a bit of entertainment. And I am now ready to introduce you to..... The Island Heroine.

Her base of operation is a tiny porkchop shaped island just off the New England coast. She has extraordinary superhuman abilities that are motivated by a sense of responsibility and a strong moral code. Her natural powers are supplemented with a special weapon, the pink lightsaber. It's brightly colored energy contributes to her willingness to risk one's own safety in the service of good to others around her.

Reduced To Pieces

We've all heard the term "worry-wart." I prefer to think of it as being concerned. I'll admit to some heavy worrying about things. I can't help it, it's just in me. I don't think we'd be human if we didn't worry/show concern about others. I think the person who never does worry could be considered a bit on the selfish side. Right now I'm worried about my friends. As a person who has this constant desire to help and do whatever I can to make everyone happy, I'm quite frustrated right now. I feel like nothing I say or do is the right thing. It makes me feel kind of broken inside.

Cabin Fever

One tends to catch up on neglected things when snowed in for three days: laundry, ironing, going through mail, catching up on emails and oh yeah...blogging! I haven't gotten out of my pajamas since Friday. I've watched way too much TV, so much so that the DVR is now completely empty. If I drink one more cup of hot cocoa I may turn brown. There's only one thing left to do....must save Rudolph.

Some Things I Bet You Didn't Know

While at the market the other day, I for no particular reason picked up one of those freebie magazines that are always in the front foyer. I then actually flipped through it and found a list of useless information I felt the need to share...
1. The first novel ever written on a typewriter: Tom Sawyer.
2. Men can read smaller print then women can; women can hear better.
3. It is impossible to lick your elbow. (Go ahead, try it!)
4. A crocodile can't stick its tongue out.
5. A shrimp's heart is in its head.
6. It is physically impossible for pigs to look up into the sky.
7. More than 50% of the people in the world have never made or received a telephone call.
8. A duck's quack doesn't echo, and no one knows why.
9. Like fingerprints, everyone's tongue print is different.
10. In every episode of Seinfeld there is a Superman somewhere.

The Little Things In Life

Sometimes it's the little things in life that can pick you up from a bad day. For me it can be hearing a favorite song, indulging in chocolate or getting a message from my nieces. Yesterday it was just simply seeing this scene at a shopping plaza near my house. Be sure to appreciate the little things my friends!

Shall I Fluff Your Pillow?

We all have our favorite sleeping position. There's sleeping on your stomach, side or back. Then there's the left side of the bed, right side or smack dab in the middle. And then there are those of us who do this:

Come on...can this REALLY be comfortable???

Meet Turbo. He joined Lissfull's family this summer. He has some rather odd sleeping positions, all of which seem remarkably comfortable to him! When I became witness to this particular one I thought perhaps there was something medically wrong. But no worries, Lissfull assures me he is resting comfortably. Sweet dreams!!

Things I Heard At School Today

Here's a sampling of a few random things said to me today by either a student or adult:

* "I'm a vampire and you can't take that away from me."

* "I think she's a flight risk."

* "Should I start reading now?"

* "The paper might be stuck in my nose."

* "Can I eat the cheese off of everyone's pizza because I just like the cheese."

* "My pencil has left the building."

* "Is there more than Coca-Cola in that can?"

Thank goodness it's Friday....
