What If You Knew...

that you could make a change in one thing in your life, and you would feel better, not be sick all the time, not have pain anymore, would you do it?

What if Vacations

What if you could go on vacation, all expenses paid, to anywhere on the Earth. Where would you go? Me, I'd go to Tahiti and probably never come back......I'm sure they need someone to sell sunglasses or something???

Another What if....

What if your nose was running money? Would you blow it all on someone you love? tee hee....my little giggle for the day.

What if you....

What if you found out that you only had a certain amount of time to live. What would you do? Would you continue to work? Would you cash in your life savings and go do all the things you ever wanted to do? Would you get a bunch of credit cards issued to yourself with an unGodly credit limit and then go out and charge them to the max? Would you tell anyone or keep it to yourself? No, I'm not dying. Just thought it would be a good first "What if" post ;)

What If You Were Going To Phoenix?

If you were going to Phoenix, what would you want to do there? Would you have your picture taken with a Saguaro?

What If...?

What if you saw a bison in your backyard? Would you run outside to get a closer look, or would you stay inside? Would plant some corn so he would come back?

What Does It Matter If -

I skip blogging today?

Well, it doesn't. Not really. But it does mean that I probably won't do it tomorrow either. Or the next day or the day after that and before I know it, it's been weeks. "But, I've just been so busy", I tell myself.

Well, the inertia ends now. I've got to tell all or I will forget and God knows we can't have that!

Ken and I have, actually, been very busy. We both started exercising and have been running a few times a week for about a month now - the last two weeks, we've been going to the park nearby and running on the trails. It's so much more fun than running in the gym or on a track. It's like playing tag, really. We have yet to lose an ounce between us, but I know we are better off for it.

We went to Charleston a few weeks ago and stayed with a friend of his. While we were there, another of his friends did my hair. She cut and dyed it and when she styled it, she used a flat iron - I just started crying when I saw it and sobbed out, "I look so pretty!" She just stared at me for a minute and then said, "I think I might cry now too." My hair stayed straight for about 3 hours before Ken and I got caught in a rainstorm walking around downtown Charleston. It curled right back up!

Ken was a sweetheart (as usual) and was patient while I visited a yarn shop of all things. He actually scheduled in time for it on Sunday and then we walked around for almost an hour trying to find it. When we finally did it was closed on Sundays! But he made sure we came back Monday before we left to come back home and he didn't even rush me while I fondled all the lovely soft fiber. He just said, "Take your time, I know how much you love this stuff." Is that a great guy or what?!

On the home front, I've been knitting up a storm. The yarn shop in Tuscaloosa has challenged the shop in Auburn to a Yarn Bowl knit off. Basically knitters (or crocheters) can support either school by sending in handmade preemie caps for charity by the date of the Iron Bowl (the Alabama/Auburn football game), and the shop that collects the most caps wins bragging rights. I found out about it a little over a week ago and have finished 4 so far - I can't just let Auburn win, now can I?


I also started writing articles on Arts and Crafts for Kids for The Fun Times Guide. I wrote 5 of them in the last week of April, and have more planned - I just need to take the photos for them. It's nice to feel like I am doing something related to art teaching, even if I don't have the interaction with the kids. It's also really nice to get paid for it!

Softball season has started again, too, and I am playing with the same team - after the support in the ER, I couldn't abandon them for some Hampton upstarts. We have played 2 double headers and have won all 4 games. I'm way out in right field, so no worries there. Unfortunately, I think I am more afraid of the ball than I thought. I have struck out or fouled out on every at bat so far, and at Wednesdays game, Ken took pictures of me batting. When I looked at the pictures later, my eyes were closed! No wonder I can't hit the ball! So, I am going to head to the batting cages to see if I can remedy the problem. I can't let the ball win either!

What If You Had Ruby Slippers?

Where would you wish to be when you clicked your heels?

What If...

What if…

A law was passed that said you could use each word only once?

How would one be able to express oneself after the first utterance?

What If?

What if…

It rained chocolate?

Would you run outside, face pointed up to the sky

Tongue extended, to catch and savor a drop?

Would you take off your shoes and socks

To run and splash in puddles of the dark brown gooey glop?
