Humm Funny

To us everyone is fair game. I know y’all know what I mean by that…but just in case let me splain it. It being people watching (of sorts) Yeah, I knew you knew what I meant. You sit and watch people think about errr talk about what you see. Discuss how hungry their pants are and wonder why they are still wearing white socks with river shoes (a type of sandal) and tight…I means super tight clothes. No guessing how many rolls some people eat when all ya have do it count ‘em. Right, hey stop looking at me and pointing. It is bad manners to point, remember that!

So what I was gonna tell ya involves initials. Yes the first letter of your names, first – middle- 2nd middle – last (I have a son with a couple of middles) But this post is not about him, close though. It’s about one of his sisters. As it turns out their initials have meaning, check it out

CMA = County Music Awards

ERA = Equal Rights Administration

DNA = Deoxyribonucleic Acid

MRLA = Maltese Rugby League Association

KGEA = Kelly Green Evangelistic Association

AMA = American Mortgage Association

And there y’all have it Laughter the bestest medicine and family all rolled up in one shiny package. So tell me your funny initials or at least tell me some kind of people watching story…lalala you can even make up a story about what you think other people think about you when they are people watching.

Come on spill the beans all over your lap and make me laugh, oh my dear internets YOU can do it!

It's Official...no really

Stephen Book has gifted, awarded if you will, upon me this super & duper Cool E Oh award The Versatile Blogger. I am both honored and happy to get this. Thank you Stephen.

See isn’t it neat O looking? All vibrant and green with a yellow flower and secretly type journaling in the background. I love it! <3

Let’s explore this shall we…

The – used before a noun, with a specifying or particularizing effect, as opposed to the indefinite or generalizing force of the indefinite article a or an. (meaning use the word “the” IF you don’t use the words “a” or “an” If you already knew this just disregard “the” xplanation.

Versatile – capable of or adapted for turning easily from one to another of various tasks, fields of endeavor, etc.: a versatile writer. (adjective) Lalala yes that’s me and here I thunk I was an eclectic type of person. Haha I will change to versatile as it sounds sane as opposed to eclectic – insane. What say y’all my dear internets?

Blogger – owner of a blog; Blog a web site containing the writer’s (moi) own experiences, observations, opinions, etc., and often having images (photographs) and links (see side bar) to other web sites (blogs of my dear internets) this word is both a noun and a verb. Well how do y’all like that? I like it very well…

and I say Ta Da even the dictionary knows I’m a writer on my blog of various things.

I want to thank Stephen again for such Grand Award {ducks head / shuffles feet} shucks {big a$$ smile}. Because now it really, I mean REALLY is official I AM A WRITER, like it or not world! The dictionary says so.

Did I give y'all a link to Power Burns & Bullets and just so y'alls know he is a Super & Duper Versatile writer too...be sure to check out his multi-genre #FridayFlash stories.

BTW: happy birthday to my oldest Baby Girl!

It's Done - Over

O my dear internets, what can I say. It was magnificent to see our Baby Girl achieve all that she has. I know some of y’all are thinking well it’s was only a high school diploma, but trust me when I say it was all a uphill, no a up mountain battle. We are just so glad she was able to do this. Okay that’s all I can type…we are tired as it has been a long night, day, and years even.

Now be careful on this long Memorial Holiday Weekend, get out there and be with your families and friends

AND

be mindful to NOT drink and drive cars or boats –––– the life you save could be mine, so thank you for that.

Bragging?

No way Bob! But I will regale y’all, my dear internets, with a smallish story of mother’s pride.

Last night we attended the Awards Banquet for the Juniors and Seniors of Baby Girl’s school. Yes she is graduating in a few short days, needless to say we are somewhat excited, after all she is the last of seven. Whew are we tired! No, I’m not even going to think nor talk of higher education ~ give me a break ~ first, umm let’s pretend I, we get summer off. Yeah a summer vacation then we’ll think about all that.

Oh, yeah I was bragging…oops I meant, of course, telling y’all about a mother’s pride.

So there we were, dressed up in a room full of strangers eating and making very little small talk. It was time for awards. We Knew Baby Girl would get a “Star Student” as we had to buy that, yes really. But then she got an award for A-B Honors in grammar. Wow she has come a long way from not capitalizing the first letter of a sentence. Then some other kids got some…

And then it was Baby Girl again! A trophy for being most Improved during this school year. See, she has come a long way. Then some other kid(s) then BAM, Baby Girl for the best Citizen within the school, and they drolled on and on about how she is conscientious and helps others and the staff and polite and blah blah blah every good thing YOU want in your kids. {SMILE} So there was a couple of awards for some other kids and Hole E Mole E Baby Girl got another one, this time for most Dedicated (she took extras courses so she could graduate this year).

Intermission – he Juniors entertained us by putting on a skit where in they impersonated the Seniors. It was so funny and as far as I could tell they Nailed it.

Now it was the Preachers wife’s turn to speak and she talked about the staff, students and blah blah good stuff. She talked about how when they started this school (a little church school) that the pastor wanted to give out an award every year to a Senior or Junior that showed – well he had like this major list of qualities and then asked if the three candidates would stand and BaM Ah Lam he called Baby Girl after two boys. We were so proud already and now to think she was considered for the biggest and bestest award. Wow, just Wow. So they sat back down and the pastor talked some more and then finally he called BABY GIRL! OMG, my dear internets…OMG Of course I knew when he used the term consistent during his speech that it had to be MY Baby Girl.

As we were gathering up ALL her trophies to leave there were tons of people congratulating Baby Girl and us. Telling us how much they like and enjoy her...Oh my dear internets, we are so proud and happy and sad that certain people of her life could not be there in person, but we know they were there in spirit.

Baby Girl your Mom, Dad, Grandmaw and Grandpaw saw it all, they are just as proud, if not more, as we are of you. And yes they will be there when you walk the stage to receive your High School Diploma.

Thanks for reading this little Prideful story from this very proud and very happy mother – little ol' moi.
