Hey, life? Are you kidding me?

I don't know

It's been over a week since I blogged which means I'm not doing a stellar job being consistent with my vow to blog. It's not that I haven't had things to say or things happen, I guess I've just been lazy or preoccupied.

Oh, I know - I typed up a writing my father did. Here is the link:

Love- first, last, unselfish, fullfilled  (E) Not your typical love story. Not your typical man. #1995037 by audra_branson

- I know he would love a review. You give him one, and I'll return the favor. He doesn't review because he doesn't feel "qualified". If I never did anything I didn't feel qualified for, I sure the heck wouldn't be doing much. Wait . . . maybe I don't do much.

The pool is winning in the ongoing battle of Pool vs. Unqualified Woman. Right now I'm up against cotton wood (you know like from trees); it clogs the filters. However, I can't deal with that until I figure out what I did to the electrical outlet circuit thingie.

Things I've learned this week:

1. Mason jars can be used for at least 41 uses - the one I liked the best was filling them with various drinks containing alcohol and putting them in a big bucket of ice.

2. Coconut Oil is a powerful thing, and you might want to read the ENTIRE article before consuming. It is not only for energy but it is also apparently a persistent overachieving 'cleanse' product. If you get my drift. I think I got things out of my body that have been there since 1987. The movie 'Alien' doesn't have anything next to Coconut Oil.

3. My son who is an amazingly easy kid to raise will do ANYTHING his dad suggests - which is fine so far. I mean being the responsible parent isn't that bad lol - we do have fun, but there is nothing like a son wanting to please his father I guess. Or maybe he knows I will keep bugging him in life no matter if he likes what I like or not. His dad text me this morning and said, "Reese is building a model airplane!" (When we were married, Greg did a lot of this - it made Christmases and birthdays easy - I knew he'd at least like one thing I got him). Anyway, my first response was "On the playstation?"
But nope it is the real thing. Like sitting at the table and everything!! The miracles of fathers.

4. hmmmmm. I have to think of one more because I hate odd numbers and I love the number 4 and anything divisible by it - yes, I accept my weirdness with a smile on my face. Oh, I know! The microwave will not only spark, but actually blaze with flames when you put something in it it doesn't like. I seriously don't know what I did wrong. I was heating salt in a coffee cup because I read on the internet that it would soothe my earache and pull the fluids out of it if I put the salt in a sock and put my ear on it. Open microwave door and flames are coming from the turning thing, the cup, some of the salt. I thought you put salt on fires to stop them not accelerate them. I'm not sure they should let me teach Home Ec next year. Drama seems more my speed.

I thought of another one, but I can't share it because it would make an odd number on my list. Let's just say - when researching your family history don't be surprised to find out your 94 year old grandmother who is one of the most amazing women in your life might not to be too happy about your ability to find her marriage license since the date doesn't match up with the one everyone has always celebrated if you are catching my drift. Luckily, it dawned on me before I called to tell her I had found her marriage license. I was pretty excited. Actually, I still am. It kind of shows even our heroes are human.

Okay, folks I've been on here for quite awhile - reading and such - I better pretend to do something productive so if anyone asks me what I did today, I will at least have one thing to say.


Moving forward,

Audra
