Exhaling


 Walking on Egg Shells...
 

Yep yep yep...the sun is shining really bright today...it is actually hot out side...Gosh darn it...Yesterday..the wind was blowing looking as though it was going to storm..but...it didn't..but I so enjoyed the feeling of that cool air..but today..whewwwwww...Hot...However...it is gorgeous ...this day the Lord has made...
 
And you know what else...I finally got my act together....and headed to the tax place and got them old taxes done..LOL...ours and my sons...and we actually gonna get a few dollars back there..well with the exception of the darn state...they want us to pay them a small amount..not much..under $50...but..still..that is my money lol...oh well can't control the system...
 
So..you see..that old superstitious thing of Friday the 13th..didn't affect me at all..it must have something to do with attitude...and my day went great!!..lets hope today goes as well..so far so good lol..
 
Last nite was our Friday nite movies..off to the video store and get my movies...and I have to say we got a good one...one was really strange..."Notes on a Scandal"...it was about a teacher who has an affair with her 15 year old student..not cool..and of course an older teacher finds out..but this teacher has her own agenda..It is not a movie I would watch again...
 
But..the one I would highly recommend is "Freedom Writers"...It was absolutely great...made me cry..made me think very much..Another story about a teacher..but this teacher makes a big difference in the lives of the kids she teaches...it is about kids who come from different backgrounds..all the prejudice and gangs..that divide us...and how she brings them all together in a class room...gives respect..and gets respect...
 
If only...all of us could see pass color.....if only..all of us could respect each other and stop trying to take away ones dignity to gain their own..
 
I think..even though many of us were not raised prejudice..We were all taught to stay with our own race..which in some small way made us prejudice..with out realizing it..and I don't mean just whites in general..I mean all races..I have some black friends who believe strongly that one should stay with their own race.."color"..which ever way it is said..and I hope I am not offending anyone by using the words "White"..."Black"..I am just using the words to explain..ok..
 
I personally being a white female feel at times that my own rights are being taken away..what I mean by that..is..sometimes..I feel that I can't be proud of who I am..of the color I am...I feel sometimes I have to walk on egg shells about my color as not to offend another's color..but yet..my color is offended so often...When I was working..I had many friends of color..and they were always saying that I was not white..that I was black like them..my attitude..but..I think really and truly..I just respected them for who they were..not their color..
 
For example..one day one of my friends was tell me of her son being in college and how when she tells ppl that...well when she tells white ppl that..they always ask her if he is in basketball or football...and she felt offended by it..because she took it as they were saying the only way a black boy could be in college if he were in some sort of sport..."Which..she prob was right..ppl are ignorant" ...But..I brought to her attention..Hey..I am white..and I never asked you that..of course she told me that I didn't count..that I didn't act white..but.. in some way that offended me..but..if I were to say that..would that make me a racist??..well of course..me being who I am..I had to say something..I brought to her attention..again..hey..I am white..and I am just as proud to be white as you are to be black..I am no better and no less than you..and that we should never judge a whole race by some ignorant ones...I don't know how much good it did..but..we are still friends..and respect each other...no matter our color..
 
I have 2 great nieces and 1 great nephew that are of the mix race...and I would never want them to be ashamed of who they are..I would not want them to feel they have to act a certain way while around us as the white family and then act another way when around their black famiy...I want them to be them..proud of themselves...as we all should be...
 
I know I know..I am getting way to deep on this..but..the movie really got me thinking..and it is just how I feel..and I hate when ppl use race to have hate and start fights..I believe we can all have our own feelings and rights without hurting another or taking away each others dignity..Now..I am not naive...I know we have come a long way..but I also know..it will always be there..but..if we little by little change ourselves then just maybe..one day...
 
Ok ok..time to stop my thinking..and go and find my song for today..it is Saturday..omg..need to get moving...lol...

 What's Today??....Frightening Friday...LOL....
 

OK ok..as I sat on my bed at 2am writing in my Thankful Journal..I needed to make sure of the date and so I grabbed hold of my cell phone which tells me the date..and then OMG...I had to wipe my eyes and take another look...Oh yes..I was seeing it right..today is April 13..but..wait..it is also Friday..OMG again....It is Frightening Friday the 13th...LOL...
 
The days have been so mixed up since the boys are all off on spring break..and we don't have to rush in the morning to get to school..but the days have been truly happy ones..So..I don't think today will be any different..Nope..no superstitious crap for me today lol...
 
Well..the only thing that could go wrong..is if I don't stop procrastinating with my taxes..Yes yes...I can't believe it either that I haven't done them yet..I'v never waited to the last min like this"Ever" before..Shame on me shame on me...but..I am not doing them myself this year..within the hour I am off to the tax place and let them worry about it and get it off for me...Heck..I figure the longer I wait..the longer I keep from spending it...LOL..yea..many ppl already got theirs and poof..its gone..but not me..LOL..
 
OK then...I Have a busy day ahead of me..so I just wanted to touch on the old Friday the 13th thing..and how I think it should be Fabulous instead of Frightening..lol..it is what we make it..and I make it to be a Great Day...for You and for Me....
 
Have a Great and Blessed Day!!!!

 A DARK AND STORMY NIGHT......................
 

They were together in the House. 

 

Just the two of them.

It was a cold, dark, stormy night. The storm had come quickly

and


each time the thunder boomed he watched her jump.


She looked across the room and admired his strong appearance...and

wished that he would take her in his arms, comfort her and protect her

from the storm.

She wanted that...more than anything.


Suddenly, with a pop, the power went out... She screamed...

He raced to the sofa where she was cowering.

He didn't
hesitate to pull her into his arms.

He knew this was a forbidden union and

expected her to pull back.

He was surprised when she didn't resist but instead clung to him.

The storm raged on...as did their growing passion

And there came a moment when each knew that they had to be together

They knew it was wrong...

Their families would never understand... So consumed were


they in their passion that they heard no opening

of doors...just the faint click of a camera.....

As usual..I didn't get to sleep till really late..this time it was like after 6am..but something different happened to me...Really different...
 
I started dreaming..different ppl were in it..we were going across a bridge...for reasons unknown..hell prob to get to the othe side lol lol...but..it was so funny..ppl were just happy and clowning around..and get this..Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin were in my dream..yeah...nuts huh..I always did love watching their movies so much..but it has been a few years since I saw or even thought about them..but here they were..right smack in the middle of my dream..acting all nutty...
 

 
I was laughing and giggling so much in my dream that I actually woke up giggling outloud...I had to look over to my hubby to make sure I didn't wake him up..with my giggling....I have awakened to nite mares..in cold sweats..and crying to sad things..But, this is the very first time I have ever been awaken from my giggling out loud ...It was really cool..
 
I even feel better today..strange how that sinus stuff can hit you one day and then be gone the next..You know what I think..??..I think it has to do with how you feel in your heart..and I feel so happy that I guess it just couldn't compete...lol..Yeah.right..lol..I was just lucky....but..still..waking up giggling is just awesome...

 Leave it to a Cajun...LOL LOL....
 

(LEAVE IT TO A CAJUN)
 
 
THE PRETZEL
 
 
A Russian and Boudreaux, a coonass wrestler from Thibideaux Louisiana, were set to square off for the Olympic gold medal.
 
Before the final match, Boudreaux's trainer came to him and said, "Now, don't forget all the research we've done on this Russian.
 
He's never lost a match because of this "Pretzel" hold he has.  Whatever you do, do not let him get you in that hold!  If he does, you're finished";  Boudreaux nodded in acknowledgment.
 
As the match started, Boudreaux the coonass and the Russian circled each other several times, looking for an opening.
 
All of a sudden, the russian lunged forward, grabbing Boudreaux and wrapping him up in the dreaded pretzel hold.
 
A sigh of disappointment arose from the crowd and the trainer buried his face in his hands, for he knew all was lost.
 
He couldn't watch the inevitable happen.
 
Suddenly, there was a scream, then a cheer from the crowd and the trainer raised his eyes just in time to watch the Russian go flying up in the air.
 
His back hit the mat with a thud and Boudreaux collapsed on top of him making the pin and winning the match.
 
The trainer was astounded.  when he finally got his wrestler alone, he asked,
 
Boudreaux, how did you ever get out of that hold?  No one has ever done it before?!
 
Then Boudreaux answered "Well, I was ready to give up when he got me in that hold but at the last moment, I opened my eyes and saw this pair of testicles right in front of my face.
 
I had nothing to lose, so with my last ounce of strength I stretched out my neck and bit those babies just as hard as I could.
 
So the trainer exclaimed, "That's what finished him off!"
 
Not really.  You'd be amazed how strong you get when you bite your own nuts.
