Beautiful 2000

Can you find me? I’m in some mighty fine company! Friends in the collage include: Beaman Ben Bug Cat Char Dariana Julia HART Liz Logic Matt Mike Miss Cellania Peter Rod Sandy Seth And a big thanks to Tino who brought it all together This is such fun! I want to click on everyone - LOL I’m sure I missed some, but I have to get up to the hospital now. There are a lot of pictures and I don’t know what many of my blog buddies look like! Let me know and I’ll add you! My father-in-law is still not doing very well. His pneumonia got worse, his blood pressure is down and his urine catheter caused bladder bleeding. When he is conscious his lucidity is in and out. It's very nerve wracking. And not easy to blog about, much less make funny. I’ve got a lot of funny stuff on here, check the archives or buy the book - LOL http://lulu.com/martilawrence Anyway, I'm trying to catch up on a few friends today, and wanted to say hi to everyone. Peace and joy to all of you! To leave a commen...

Mmmmm

Marti as an m & m character Purple, ‘cause that’s my favorite color Blonde hair, ‘cause...like, duh - lol Wearing eyeglasses, ‘cause I’m damn near blind without them Sensible shoes for a woman with two metal ankles Coffee cup, due to sleep deprivation Make one of yourself for your blog! I could say something incredibly crude like eat me, but that would be wrong. LOL After the week I’ve had, I think it’d be more like “bite me” anyway. Pacing the halls in a hospital is hideous. Zero on the fun scale. Father-in-law’s condition has swung wildly back and forth, blood pressure unstable, in and out of coma. Fortunately, his condition is starting to stabilize. Mine has deteriorated into blathering incoherence. So I needed a little something to make me smile, and when I saw Hillbilly Princess had this cute little m & m character (complete with crown and fishing pole - LOL) I decided to make one for myself. Also, today is Amy’s birthday ! So jump over and wish her well! She designed th...

Whatta Week

A little more than a week ago the ice storm started. What fun (if you’re a tow truck driver) ! Went slip-slidin’ away back and forth on the insanity run. The jackass brigade was out in full force...morons with bald tires, small brains and big egos. Ain’t no ice storm gonna slow them down! That telephone pole they wrapped themselves around does, though. Monday was Martin Luther King Day, and the irony of ironies occurred. I actually saw a commercial for a MLK white sale. Seriously. Tuesday everything went to hell. My father-in-law fell on the ice. Broke his hip. Laid on the ice for fifteen minutes before anyone found him. Once they got him to the hospital, they discovered a heart murmur that my mother-in-law explained to them he has had ALL HIS LIFE. He’s 89. Healthy as a horse (prior to the busted hip anyway - lol) But they wouldn’t do anything for the hip until they could have a specialist look at the heart, because God fuggin forbid they run the liability risk of doing an...

Should I be worried?

Like everyone who uses the Internets (snicker) I get a lot of spam. Spam e-mails, spam comments, spam blurbers at Squidoo . But today, my spam e-mail was not for ways to enlarge my penis, have a Nigerian send me millions of dollars, or asking me to forward this to 20 people so my wish will come true. Today I got power chair scooter store, and plan your funeral. Is there something someone isn’t telling me? LOL! - - - We are under a winter weather advisory - a bit of an oxymoron for the middle of the geographic US in the middle of January, but that’s why the meteorologists get the big bucks - LOL! We’ve got lots of ice. If only I had some vodka! - - - Need a laugh? My sense of humor is frozen. Clearly, we need to legalize all drugs - LOL Even without drugs, (but with her beloved unstirred coffee - lol) Amy has a hilarious piece about waxing her you-know-what (and I don’t mean her coffee table) . - - - Still waiting (tapping foot impatiently - lol) for more of you to weigh in on what...

New Holidays for a New Year

Mark your calendar with the multitude of new holidays to celebrate. Here’s just a few of to get you started… The Day the Music Died Day: February 3 Write a sappy song about an important cultural tragedy that will annoy bar patrons for generations. National Jingoism & Violence Day: February 4 Collect a group of two dozen or so well trained men assigned to represent your city or region. Face off against another such group of well-trained men. Beat the living sh*t out of each other. (aka Superbowl Sunday) Bitterness Day: February 24 Ten days have passed since Valentine’s Day, so there is no chance the red-heart card was slow in arriving. No one loves you. Go get roaring drunk. Reverse Cowgirl Day: March 3 Honoring a woman’s right to choose positions. (Formerly Women’s Suffrage Day) Hale-Bopp Day: March 22 Remember 1997? Best year EVAR? Well, things won’t be that good until 4380, so your cult will have to wait for its next mass suicide. International 420 Day: April 20 Dude! Mi...

When the Moon Hits Your Eye

Image
Like a big pizza pie, that’s a new year. I know this, because I’m in the center of a giant astrological compass, with the sky and starys spinning around me. No, I am not on drugs and singing, “Good morning, Starshine, the earth says hello”. God don’t I wish - LOL See, we are situated high on a hill. And this allows the seasonal north/south shift of the sun and the moon to be more noticeable. In the summer the sun sets over the barn - in the winter, it sets over the south barbed wire fence. (Bet that hurts - lol) And the first full moon of the new year smacks me right in the face, coming in through the bathroom window with its shiny, eye-piercing beam. So y’all can have Dick Clark, or this totally insane Japanese New Year greeting , which simply has to be seen to be believed, courtesy of Miss Cellania . Guaranteed giggles (and nakedness! lol) I know it’s the New Year when I get mooned. LOL I missed Tuesday night chat at Successful Blog last night, but it was for a worthy cause. We...
