HODGIN', PODGIN', HUMPIN' & DUMPIN'


1. If you could work for any one government agency which would you choose and why? (if you're in the US here's a helpful list) Why? 

National Weather Service
...I want to stand in front of a 'green screen' and play with all the 'computerized' weather predictors


2. How difficult is it for you to forgive someone who refuses to apologize?
My brain doesn't want to wrap around this one...it depends on who the someone is and how close I am to them. God convicts me and pardons them most of the time, hahaha.


3. What is your favorite meatless supper?
Hummus with sweet peppers/whole grain pita chips

4. Wednesday August 10th is National Lazy Day...will you be celebrating? If so, tell us how so we can be lazy too.  
My National Lazy Day celebrating has never been acknowledged...but today's lazy will last as long as my blogging time...then on to the rest of the day.


5. As a child did you have any special back to school traditions and if so, what were they? If you're a parent did you carry on those traditions with your own children?
Back-to-school traditions at my house included a lunchbox and new clothes that Mother made. For my kids, we'd fulfill the list provided by the school, usually get some new shoes and jeans...then I'd bore her by getting a 'school' picture while getting on the bus...she REALLY didn't like that her senior year.

6. Write a summer tongue twister.  
Skoot skillfully shopping for school stuff soon-to-be shuffling schedules and skyping

7. Would you be interested in observing a surgery or do you turn away when the nurse brings out the needle?
Don't like feeling needles but not scared of them; I wanted to watch as they put stitches in my foot one time but didn't let myself watch...I chickened out. I do watch surgeries on TV though.

8. Insert your own random thought here.
TODAY is HUMP day...
a day that I need a LAFF...
...'cause my body decided to wake up at 6:30am as if I had some reason to wake up at 6:30am

...'cause my car is exhausted from having driven around the world and back again yesterday  dropped off/picked up/payed for skoot's auto repairs and all the way downtown and back for MORE furniture

...'cause my body got a glance at what moving day will be like carrying furniture/boxes up a flight of stairs dreading the three flights of stairs awaiting us in the T'town 95% humidity and 95-degree weather

...'cause the opportunity to talk with Skoot about life, politics and our economy while enjoying bumper-to-bumper traffic en route to IKEA (35 miles away)      

...'cause maybe Skoot will miss me when she's back in CollegeTown remembering  what Summer fun was had me and her Daddy because of our hilarious personalities she had access to OUR credit card

Mama's Losing It  posted this today
...it fulfilled my 'laff' need
...watch it and tell me if it hits your funny bone, too:



I REALLY needed to laff today and this DID it!  


I remember those 'young kids' days of chasing, cleaning up, and 'trying-to-keep-them busy'.  Mama's Losing It cracks me up "hiding" in her hat

...reminds me of Susannah Wesley throwing her apron over her head for 'prayer time'...same thing, kinda!

...I will REALLY miss my Skoot after she's back in CollegeTown.  
She's very eager to get there and reacquaint herself to her we're paying for it all FULL independence, hahahah.  
Just poking a little fun her way.  

What things do you want to type and cross out?


Jer. 33:3 "Call to me and I will answer you
and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know."
 Blessings,

MY LITERAL BOHUNKUS PAIN...

EVER since Saturday, I've been 'shuffling' like Tyrone Horneigh from Laugh In, remember back in the 70's when he was pursuing Gladys?


Gotta laff cause I'm tired of hurting.  Actually, Tyrone is moving FASTER in this video than I am...it took me 20 mins to get into the car this morning for my first chiro trip.
All this mess ensued after I reached high up into a kitchen cabinet for a glass and heard something pop in my lower back..my legs started shaking and I had to catch myself on the kitchen counter after my legs quickly collapsed
. 
(The chiro said I had a badly twisted sacrum...the sacroiliac bone just above your 'tush' and the nerves are now irritated and swollen.)  


Sunday brought a morning of moving with great tenderness and NOT GETTING to sit by my home-visiting freshman in church...but I could sit pretty well in my recliner, but today NOTHING is comfortable.


Please send up a few prayers to remove this debilitating pinching in my hips while I ice and heat throughout the afternoon.


In case you don't remember Tyrone and Gladys, here are Arte Johnson and Ruth Buzzi at their best...
