Huluhae is a good-for-you part of the day!

Crazed Ramblings from my Mind:

The Wall Above My Computer


Delve into my psyche by experiencing What Is Above My Computer!. Let's see, 4 different MST3K post-it notes. Yes, I'm a HUGE Mystery Science Theater Fan. Obsessive? Perhaps Yes! The little scooby doo card is my link to my favorite cartoon as a child. Scooby rules, y'all. Hell yeah. And besides, that's one o' them there magic scenes. The characters move when you tilt it back and forth. Neat! Okay next to that is my super-cool Lynyrd Skynyrd post-card. Got that at Myrtle Beach S.C. way back in 1998 durning senior week. One of the most fun times of my life. Oh, and you can't beat Skynyrd, maaaan. Awesome as all get out. Under that's a picture I took of Matt, and some more pics to the side of his, top is my sister, then my other sister, my best friend--taken 6 years ago. Me and Matt, my other other sister, and finally me and Matt with my dad's tractor. I'm from a rural area, Matt grew up more city/suburb. It's so much fun! Reminds me of the cow story, I'll have to tell that in a minute. Okay, now off to the side I have my 2 Civil War Bullets. These are the oldest things up there. Got 'em in WV back when I was just a kid. History was always one of my favorite subjects.

Okay here's my cow story. Like I said, I grew up in a rural area while Matt lived in a more suburban area. In january when I moved out to Il our first apartment was in Peoria. We moved to Normal about 3 months later and are still here now. His parents live near Chicago, and that's where he grew up. Anyhow, we're toolin' up the road, got the windows down. It's a nice day and all that. I'm looking out the window at grass...grass...grass....grass....All they have up here is grass and corn. Suddenly I turn and sniff the air. "I smell cows, do you smell cows?" Matt replies that he has absolutely no idea what a cow smells like. I peer out the window--not a cow in sight. Thinking, dag-on, I know I smell cows. Turn back to Matt. "I know I smell cows. I've smelled plenty of cows before." A few moments later we come to them, a whole load of cattle in the back of a truck. We just burst out laughing. Still don't think Matt can recognize the smell of cows yet though.

Someone was finally nice enough to do my poll, even though no one else has written in my guestbook. Oh well.

I'm on a healthy-eating kick, even more so than usual. Part of the reason is, of course, if I happen to get pregnant I want to do everything I can to have a healthy baby. Fortunately I don't care much for soft drinks, but I could drink a gallon of milk a day. I've tried a different type of cereal from my usual Kellogs/General Mills/Whateverelse Brands. It's called Alpen. Some Swiss stuff. It's claim to faim is no added sugar or salt. And it's good! Thanks to the raisins. Mmm, I love raisins. Shoot, you could probably put freeze-dried-banana-flavored-month-old cow pie chips in a bowl and add raisins and I'd eat 'em. (For people without a sense of humor--that's a joke. Please don't mail me any Cow Pie cereal with or without raisins.) Have you ever noticed that on most cereals, sugar is the 2nd ingredient. Now, I like sugar fine. It's sweet and yummy. But if breakfast is the most important meal of the day, doesn't it make sense to fill up on something that's nutritious and still tastes good, rather than what simply has a little wheat germ and a whole lotta sugar? I think so. `

This is one of the very few email forwards I've gotten over the years that I acutally enjoy. It's a sweet story and has a nice lesson about not taking your problems out on those you love. I'm not a religous or superstitious person, but many people are, and the man's faith in the story manages to give it a more life like touch without seeming "preachy." Hope you enjoy.

I hired a plumber to help me restore an old farmhouse, and after he had just finished a rough first day on the job: a flat tire made him lose an hour of work, his electric drill quit and his ancient one ton truck refused to start.
While I drove him home, he sat in stony silence. On arriving, he invited me in to meet his family. As we walked toward the front door, he paused briefly at a small tree, touching the tips of the branches with both hands.
When opening the door he underwent an amazing transformation. His tanned face was wreathed in smiles and he hugged his two small children and gave his wife a kiss. Afterward he walked me to the car. We passed the tree and my curiosity got the better of me. I asked him about what I had seen him do earlier.
"Oh, that's my trouble tree," he replied. "I know I can't help having troubles on the job, but one thing's for sure, those troubles don't belong in the house with my wife and the children. So I just hang them up on the tree every night when I come home and ask God to take care of them. Then in the morning I pick them up again."
"Funny thing is," he smiled, "when I come out in the morning to pick 'em up, there aren't nearly as many as I remember hanging up the night before."
