BIG Muscle Test tomorrow!

So...EEEk! Then I go to interview to volunteer at the hospital here so I can fulfill my hours for my application to the sonography program. That's just one of the "hoops" I have to jump through but I am looking forward to doing the volunteering though. It will be so different than what I'm used to.

I was just singing this in the shower but not nearly as good as Barbra! Btw...love Barbra Streisand (her musical talent not her political views!)

Mem'ries,
Light the corners of my mind
Misty water-colored memories
Of the way we were
Scattered pictures,
Of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were
Can it be that it was all so simple then?
Or has time re-written every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we? Could we?
Mem'ries, may be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it's the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember...
The way we were...
The way we were...

    Is that a test on the big muscles, or a big test on muscles?

Now I am subbing MWF in a Chemistry class along with A&P on TTh! It's about to get interesting around here! :)

Nuff Preachin' (time for a new post)

I'm still really enjoying school. If I needed more encouragement to keep after my new choice of career (hopefully). I'm getting it by subbing! Don't get me wrong teaching has its rewards but you know I'm forty and it's midlife crisis time! Ha!

Ok I mustered up the courage today and ate some smoked sockeye salmon (cold). It tasted good but I was scared to death the whole time because well...it's cold fish! I just don't think I'm cut out for it! I know it is really good for you and all and it really did taste good but alas you can't teach an old dog new tastes maybe...or temperature texture. Any of you eat the stuff?

Tony is gone on a meeting but will be back tomorrow night late. I will be glad to get my honey back home. It's just not the same without him. I tend to stay up later than I should and be a slob around here. I will be going to Auburn with my Mom this weekend to see Sheli and retrieve Tony's BBQ grill from a friend's house. Man you really miss grilling when you don't have one! I will be so happy to see my baby girl in person! It has been so long! I will drive back Monday and then get up Tuesday morning for another A&P test. Mom will have to drive some so I can study.

Today in sociology we answered the question of what we would do if we received 100 million dollars. I said I would try not to tell anyone and live pretty much the same way. Pay off the house (ours and family's), put in a pool, buy a new car, but nothing fancy, save some of it, take a few more trips than we usually can, but MOSTLY and this is the exciting part...I would give money to people (especially Christians) who needed it ANONYMOUSLY! How fun would that be? That's why no one could know about it! Wouldn't it be great to help people out of the blue and they would never know who did it?! It would be so much fun! What would you do? We were discussing the best ways to handle it. I do think it is best to pretty much go on living normally and not get carried away with "upgrading" your life. Instead be able to pay bills for health and normal expenses for yourself and others. Think of all the kids you could help go to FC who wanted to!

    Hi! Give Sheli a big hug for me. What a fun trip! We need to get together soon.

  • rainout
    i was thinking about Sheli yesterday...and yeah, that would be cool to help people who didn't know who did it...FC would be bustin' at the seams, huh?? lol

    Helping people out of the blue, anonymosley, and with no expectations is my dream of how I want to live one day!

    I'm not going to have a midlife crisis until 50. Wait... that comes up in just three months. I'd better get to planning for it.

    The salmon is smoked... that's cooked, isn't it? I like it.

    I stay up later when Jacque's gone, too... dunno why.

    I like your money idea. I don't think I'd be comfortable living beyond the middle-class, anyway.

    I'd do that too! That sounds good. On a smaller scale ... I've been working the anonymous Subway charity project. Once per week at Subway just pick someone on either side and buy their lunch. Won't break the bank ... make no fanfare... even very little eye contact ... and go about the day. It feels great to give completely for others, with NO wanting for self. To be able to do that anonymously and in significant, lifechanging ways would be incredible!

    We have talked about the money thing and would probably do exactly as you said! I hope Christians who have been blessed financially in this life and don't know what to do with their money do good and noble things. Anonymously is cool, too!
    I'm not a cold fish eater. Don't even care for sushi.
    Have a fun, safe trip, and study hard on the road! Good luck on Monday!

    We can't wait to be able to help more people! Of course, nothing should stop us from doing it more right now.
