TGIF - Thank Goodness It's Finished!


I did it! I did 30 blogs in 30 days. (Queen moves arms in a circular motion gyrating her fluffy self round 'n round). Cough...spurt...cough...Okay, enough celebrating.

To all my adoring fans, both of you, I want to say the past 30 days have brought me more joy than a room full of Oreo's...or even licking the screen of a Russell Crowe pix. Um...I reallllly didn't do that. Okay once, you happy now?

You've helped me dig deep into the recesses of my mind and dig up old memories that I thought were long forgotten. You've inspired me to tell on others AND yourselves (will you ever learn?) and given me NEW gossi--ah, fodder for my blogs; almost daily.

Because of your generosity, I want to leave you today with what I've learned.

1. I've learned that my friend who lives in Warrington, VA, who is married to Pam, will hold on to old things 'till they disintegrate. And beyond that, if he can. Duct tape is his friend. You should see his airplane. If he offers you a ride, DEEEEECLINE. See Dave? I never mentioned who you were.

2. I've learned that my buddies at RPG love a good laugh better than just about anybody I know. And...they know class when they see it. Big shout out to my buds.

3. I've learned that no matter what pocket you've put your keys in--when you're carrying multiple bags of groceries and get to the door, the keys will NOT be in the one next to the your free hand. Murphy's Law. Okay, so maybe that doesn't have anything to do with writing...but it will.

4. I've learned that reading other people's blogs, articles and such, makes me grow in ways that don't affect my hips; just my heart.

5. I've learned that I am above average when it comes to some things, like getting old-fashion whoopin's, or being grounded for things you KNOW I didn't do. Then of course, there is stuffing 10 Oreo's in my mouth at once while humming "The Battle Hymn of Republic." Oh sure, like YOUUUU can do that? Puleaseeee.

6. I've learned that no matter where I go or what I write, there are people who need to laugh, if only for a sec. They need a break from all that falls down around their heads. Somehow, I want to do that for them. I learned that my heart believes God said, "I'm giving you a chance to help others. Don't screw this one up."

To all who joined me in the last 30 days, ever faithful, ever so kind with your words of encouragement, I adore you. I've added you to my expensive Christmas gift card list.

To those who didn't, may your children grow up ugly and dateless and live with you forever.

JJ--Writing till she's pushing up daisies.

It is written, and exceptionally well. And people from all the lands will be joyous from the reading. I'm so proud of you and have received joy from all the days of your writing. I'd like 30 more, please.

I fall into #6...how many times has the world come crashing down around my shoulders and you've popped into the dust and rubble with your gentle understanding of the hell I'm in, then reach out with your gifts of laughter and caring hand to help me out. Thank you. To some, you may be the queen of stuffing oreos in your mouth but to me, you're the kind of friend who makes the world a better place to live.

Thank you from someone who cherishes your gift of laughter.

Ah, JJ, I have loved reading your funnies every evening. I'm going to miss that; I'm glad you're still going to be writing, even if not every day. You have such a wonderful way of making fun of everything. (Now do I get to win at Bejeweled??)

Thank you Ruth. I love your blog as well. As far as BJeweled goes, you'll have to ask Sharon. She beats me every week, the little snot!
