I was blogging and found this blog to be cute. It is all about " marks and whether they are necessary or not??? Then I went a step further and found a Flickr group with more on the subject.
Then while reading about King Tut and how he is on exhibit for the first time in over 3000 years Sunshine's blog discusses more on it and then I found this clip from "...meet the parents" and remembered all over again how much I really loved that movie....I found this one on The 3R's blog and just love it.
What I Learned From My Mother (and I honestly remember hearing quite a few of these phrases when I was growing up)
1. My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE. "If you're going to kill each other, do it outside. I just finished cleaning."
2. My mother taught me RELIGION. "You better pray that will come out of the carpet."
3. My mother taught me about TIME TRAVEL. "If you don't straighten up, I'm going to knock you into the middle of next week!"
4. My mother taught me LOGIC. " Because I said so, that's why." (This one really happened)
5. My mother taught me MORE LOGIC. "If you fall out of that swing and break your neck, you're not going to the store with me."
6. My mother taught me FORESIGHT. "Make sure you wear clean underwear, in case you're in an accident."(I love Bill Cosby's bit about this: "Mothers are always worried about whether you're wearing clean underwear in case you're in an accident. But if you're in an accident, it doesn't matter, because you're going to have soiled underwear. Because first you say it, and then you do it!")
7. My mother taught me IRONY. "Keep crying, and I'll give you something to cry about." (This one really happened too.)
8. My mother taught me about the science of OSMOSIS. "Shut your mouth and eat your supper." (This one makes no sense!)
9. My mother taught me about CONTORTIONISM. "Will you look at that dirt on the back of your neck!"
10. My mother taught me about STAMINA. "You'll sit there until all that spinach is gone."
11. My mother taught me about WEATHER. "This room of yours looks as if a tornado went through it."
12 My mother taught me about HYPOCRISY. "If I told you once, I've told you a million times. Don't exaggerate!"
13. My mother taught me the CIRCLE OF LIFE. "I brought you into this world, and I can take you out." (OK, I know this one actually is from Bill Cosby.)
14. My mother taught me about BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION. "Stop acting like your father!" (That was never a good thing...)
15. My mother taught me about ENVY. "There are millions of less fortunate children in this world who don't have wonderful parents like you do."
16. My mother taught me about ANTICIPATION. "Just wait until we get home."
17. My mother taught me about RECEIVING. "You are going to get it when you get home!"
18. My mother taught me about MEDICAL SCIENCE. "If you don't stop crossing your eyes, they are going to freeze that way."
19. My mother taught me ESP. "Put your sweater on; don't you think I know when you are cold?" (Yes, this one really happened too)
20. My mother taught me HUMOR. "When that lawn mower cuts off your toes, don't come running to me." (OK, this is one she never said)
21. My mother taught me HOW TO BECOME AN ADULT. "If you don't eat your vegetables, you'll never grow up."
22. My mother taught me GENETICS. "You're just like your father."
23. My mother taught me about my ROOTS. "Shut that door behind you. Do you think you were born in a barn?"
24. My mother taught me WISDOM. "When you get to be my age, you'll understand."
25. And most important: My mother taught me about JUSTICE. "One day you'll have kids, and I hope they turn out just like you!" (My dad calls this "revenge.")
The Good Napkins, or The Importance of Being Honest
My mother taught me to read when I was four years old (her first mistake).One day, I was in the bathroom and noticed one of the cabinet doors was ajar. I read the box in the cabinet. I then asked my mother why she was keeping "napkins" in the bathroom. Didn't they belong in the kitchen? Not wanting to burden me with unnecessary facts, she told me that those were for "special occasions" (her second mistake).Now fast forward a few months.... It's Thanksgiving Day, and my folks are leaving to pick up my uncle and his wife for dinner. Mom had assignments for all of us while they were gone. Mine was to set the table.When they returned, my uncle came in first and immediately burst into laughter. Next came his wife who gasped, then began giggling.Next came my father, who roared with laughter. Then came Mom, who almost died of embarrassment when she saw each place setting on the table with a "special occasion" Kotex napkin at each plate, with the fork carefully arranged on top. I had even tucked the little tail in so they didn't hang off the edge! My mother asked me why I used these and, of course, my response sent the other adults into further fits of laughter. "But, Mom, you said they were for special occasions!" Isn't it easier to just tell the truth?!?
I picked up my crochet stuff from the LA Fair with my ribbons. I got 4 red and 1 white ribbon!!! I am now going to to make sure I think of some special projects to make for next year's fair. It was a lot of fun and exciting to see the items in cases and having others look at them. I was mighty proud...
"F" is for Fish! I love fish and found this video ion YouTube that is too addicting....Now recently I had a Koi Fish pond put into my yard and we now have an oasis in our yard. It is filled with plants, rocks and 7 Koi fish. In the house I have an 85 gallon tank with 4 huge fish in there. 2 Albino Oscars, 1 Black Shark, and 1 Plecostimus. They range from about 10" to 17" long. The Oscars actually jump up and grab their food can when I feed them.
Now my outside fish are now being trained to come to one area to eat and I drop a few morsels in the water daily.
This is Morro Bay's Coastline, just north of Pismo Beach. Isn't it just beautiful?

Ok so do you think the number "8" is a lucky number for me??? Or does it all mean something? I don't know for sure but I am going to play the lotto and guess what number I am going to use??? Yup the number "8"!!!!
It’s based on the movie with Helen Hunt and Kevin Spacey in it called ‘Pay It Forward’.Here’s how it goes:I promise I will send a handmade gift to 3 random people who leave a comment on my blog requesting to join this "Pay It Forward" exchange.This isn’t a huge gift, just a little something to lift your spirits that I have made. I don’t know what that gift will be yet and you may not receive it tomorrow or next week, but you will receive it within 365 days,[probably a lot sooner] that is my promise! The only thing you have to do in return is "pay it forward" by making the same promise on your blog to send to 3 other people. That's it! So do comment here and see if your one of the lucky 3 and then put the same on your blog and let's see how far this really goes....???

"C" is for Crochet!!!
Of course "C" would be for crochet for me as I am a "Crochetoholic"! But to further that, I have been crocheting for over 30 years. I started when I was about 9 years old when my mom, who was an excellent stitcher, taught me. She was always into crafts of all kinds and I admired her for her talents. I am glad to have taken after her and I have even taken it a step further with my desires to write patterns and design purses. Crocheting for me is a stress buster and a way to relieve my inner talents. I love to sit out back in my yarn listening to the birds adn water sounds while creating a new designed purse or making an project. It is peaceful and fulfulling and best of all I get to share my projects at "Show n' Tell" with my local group Stitch n Chicks that I formed a little over a year ago. There are 13 members now and we have so much fun with our chatting, munching, and discussing our projects. LEarning from each other has made a big pkus in our lives as well as making the new friends we would never have met had it not been for the club. I think crochet brings people together and making projects to share, swapping, learning from each other or just chatting online all has benefits for our souls. This Sept. I am proud to say I will be attending my first CGOA conference in Oakland with Priscilla, from my group, and I am so excited. So as alway I am off to crochet some more and making sure I have enough yarn for my vacation I leave on tomorrow. I love crochet!!!!
