The Daisy Field

So after crying at the movie theater like a retard during the movie trailer for My Sisters Keeper....i decide why not read the book! So once again i look like a retarded mush face as i cried on the bus...at least the end of the book came while i was at home...cuz let me tell you i was full on crying out loud by the end of the book! I am kind of glad i know what happens....might make me less of a retard when i go see the movie. Oh yeah...im going to watch the movie too! Hope all is well with everyone....58 days till the wedding AAAAHHHH!!!!

Just wanted to say a VERY VERY VERY Happy Mothers day not only to my amazing mother and my new soon to be mother in law; but also all my mommy friends. The work you do is tireless, thankless, selfless, exhausting and i hope some days incredibly rewarding. GO MOMS!!!! Here is a new mom song you really must check out! Very funny. The only phrase i did not hear in the song that i remember hearing lots...was DONT MAKE ME PULL THIS CAR OVER. HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!

Okay so there i was, surrounded by people crying like a retard... thankfully it was not an insurance commercial or anything like that, but a movie trailer....yes a movie trailer! Not just lump in your throat, tears threatening, but yup big tears roll down your face kind of crying. Luckily it was dark and only Chris noticed. Well probably until he said incredulously (sp?) "are you crying?". Okay so there it is, im a giant mush ball...wanna make something of it? here is the trailer...tell me it doesnt make you cry...

did i get your attention.... I got pooped on yesterday by a bird on the way to the Army and Navy Shoe Sale...right on my left boob! GROSS I had to get someone to check and make sure i didnt get it in my hair. So they say that this is good luck. But really where did this come from...why is a bird pooping on you a good luck sign? I tried to google it, and really i could only find the same questions and no answers. Then i started to look for urban legends about bird poop and ran across this one that made me laugh out loud! BAN DIHYDROGEN MONOXIDE! Dihydrogen monoxide is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and kills uncounted thousands of people every year. Most of these deaths are caused by accidental inhalation of DHMO, but the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide do not end there. Prolonged exposure to its solid form causes severe tissue damage. Symptoms of DHMO ingestion can include excessive sweating and urination, and possibly a bloated feeling, nausea, vomiting and body electrolyte imbal...

As i worked into the wee hours on a camp skills day for my brownies (and im not even on the planning committee!!) and contemplate my upcoming change to the Vancouver Area Program Advisor for GG of C, i started thinking about the other people in my life who currently volunteer and have done excellent volunteer work both here and in other countries. I am proud to say that I am a part of such and amazing community and have friends who love people, they dont know, enough to want to help in whatever way they can. I challenge you to get out and volunteer...if not on a long term basis, then on a short term mission or even a vounteer day at a soup kitchen. Not only do you provide help to the other volunteers, but you help provide services for people who can not afford. Your generosity and love makes a bigger difference than you can even imagine! There are volunteer positions available for every talent imaginable, don't go out and do something for the sake of doing it, pick something you wo...

Love him or hate him, he sure hits the nail on the head with this! Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world. Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it! Rule 2 : The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself. Rule 3 : You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both. Rule 4 : If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. Rule 5 : Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity. Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes,...

I love you! and I appreciate having you in my life! I thought today I should take a quick moment and remind you that you are a special person and you play a special part in my life. No...really...you...it doesn't matter what our stage of friendship/family/whatever is. You are a valued member of my life. You listen, or you support or you just are. I want you to know that i prayed for you today, and that i hope you have everything you need! Thanks for being a part of my life no matter how big or small that role is. I hope that I can be a blessing in your life. Just a reminder fron me to you, that you are special and you have an effect on people...not just me. Its a reminder to all of us that we are perfectly flawed and perfectly made to fit together just the way we do! Thanks for loving me as flawed as I am! Tara
