Thursday 13 / "L"

This week = Getting to know me through the alphabet- "L"

1. Livin Life - Live your life every second of every day! Don't sit back and wait for it to happen.

2. Laugh! - I love comdedy, but mostly I love smiles! Laugh, it cures most things.

3. Love! - Love your family. My Mom always said for us to love our family, because he gave them to us for a reason, perhaps to teach us how to live and love, and in some cases, teaches us how to accept and be tolerant. We can chhose our friends, but family is what it is.

4. Learn. - Never stop learning. Whether it be a new word, a recipe, whatever pertains to your life, try to learn something new each day.

5. Lily - My precious 2 yr old granddaughter.

6. Listen - I am a very good listener. I'm one of those people who can meet someone at the bus stop and they have told me their life story before they leave. Listen and you will learn a lot.

7. Lucky - Until recently, I've considered myself a lucky person. Now I'm not so sure.

8. Library - a place I could stay for hours and hours.

9. Lake - Give me a lake and a fishing pole and I am a happy lady!

10. Letters - I love receiving and sending letters, but the old fashioned way, through the mail, not by email.

11. Lunch - hubby and I like to go out to lunch. Dinnertime is so crowded, and the lunch crowd and the wait isn't nearly as bad.

12. Lists - I am a listmaker, always have been. I find great pleasure in marking things off the list.

13. Looney - Most of the time, I'm totally looney!!!!!

Love their swimsuits!

sorry everyone....

I've been really depressed these last few days... the kind where I just stay in bed. Feeling better this morning, heard from an old friend - Kim. Will post later today.

George Carlin 1937-2008

A comic legend has died. Carlin, who had a history of heart trouble, went into St. John's Health Center in Santa Monica on Sunday afternoon complaining of chest pain and died later that evening, said his publicist, Jeff Abraham. He produced 23 comedy albums, 14 HBO specials, three books, a few TV shows and appeared in several movies.
Carlin was due to receive the 11th Mark Twain Prize for American Humor in November. The honor was announced just last week, around the time of his final performances, at the Orleans in Las Vegas. According to his website, he had dozens of shows booked through the end of the year.

He has been one of my favorite comedians for many years. I understand he is very vulgar, so if you are offended at that, DO Not view the video below.

Saturday Photo Hunt / Water

Dellinger Park a mile from our house

Photo meme

Today I came across an interesting thing on Mindful Mimi.

The concept:

1. Type your answer to each of the questions below into Flickr Search.

2. Using only the first page of results, and pick one image.

3. Copy and paste each of the URLs for the images into Big Huge Lab’s Mosaic Maker to create a mosaic of the picture answers.

The questions:

1. What is your first name?

2. What is your favorite food? right now?

3. What high school did you go to?

4. What is your favorite color?

5. Who is your celebrity crush?

6. What is your favorite drink?

7. What is your dream vacation?

8. What is your favorite dessert?

9. What do you want to be when you grow up?

10. What do you love most in life?

11. What is one word that describes you?

12. What is your flickr name?

This was a fun meme. Try it!

If you click on the mosaic it'll take you to flickr where I have the answers and links to the original photographs in the comments. Play along if you feel so inclined.
