Wordless Wednesday
Whenever I see this photo I always think of the lyrics to the song You’ve got a Friend by Carol King and James Taylor.
When you’re down and troubled
And you need a helping hand
And nothing, whoa nothing is going right.
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest nights.
You just call out my name,
And you know where ever I am
Ill come running, oh yeah baby
To see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall,
All you have to do is call
And Ill be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You’ve got a friend.
That song is actually my husband and I’s song. We danced to it at our wedding. It suits us perfectly because we are best friends.
That poor monkey. Looks like he needs more than a stuffed toy.
Have you ever seen the show History Bites? It’s on the Comedy Channel. It might only be shown in Canada since it’s a Canadian production, but if you find history interesting and if you like comedy this show is an interesting mix of both.
Comedians act out some of the great events in history, acting like real people historically famous and otherwise as they show us how the events happen … however they throw in modern touches like TV commentators such as Larry King, a Martha Stewart like section that fits the period and sometimes the historic figures resemble current famous people like Ozzy Osbourne and others.
It’s not the best show in the world, but it’s also not the worst. Check it out sometime if you get a chance.
Wordless Wednesday
Did someone say cheese?
Hmmm if that’s a real photo that chunk of cheese must be huge!
Can you imagine being a mouse or rat that discovered this piece of cheese? It’d be like heaven. I bet it’d be trying to drag it to it’s lair or break off pieces to bring to it’s nest, ’cause if it tried to eat it all in one sitting I’m pretty sure the poor thing would explode!

I’m strange. I’ll admit it.
I’m very particular about my writing pens. It’s not just the type of pen, it’s the fact that it’s my pen and I like to know where it is when I want to use it.
Ok let me explain … my husband is a pen stealer. This is probably why our small household of two goes through sometimes as many as two packages of pens a month. The packages I’m referring to usually have a dozen pens in them!
We both work in the hospital and that’s another area where you guard your pen with your life. The hospital doesn’t supply the staff with pens. They probably got wise years ago. So, as a result of there not being any pens at work, and often no one to borrow a pen from because everyone knows they’ll never get it back … we buy our own pens and take them with us.
Ok, so Chris brings a pen to work, I do too when I’m working. He could use the same pen each day until it runs out of ink like I do, but I guess he’s one of those people that either give their pen away out of kindness or misplaces it. So he’s always getting a new pen.
I have pens that I like to write with and they’re in the hands off zone on my desk. Well, if Chris can’t find a pen he always tries to steal one of my writing pens! ARghhh … Of course if he does manage to steal my pen without me knowing it that’s when I’ll discover that the latest package of pens that we bought is empty.
Sometimes it feels like a very strange obsession, but after writing this out I realize that almost everyone that works at the hospital must have a bit of a pen obsession since they are so hard to come by at work.
