Celebrities AND real life...What Would Jesus Do

Do they, Can they coincide?....Don't think so.....when is the last time you went to a restaurant, they knew you by name (OK, not INCLUDING the In-and-Out, down the street....ahem...)....ooor, when did you walk down the streets of your hometown and the press was just 'waiting' to take your picture....(In your sweats/hair messy, you know the exact moment that you would have "cringed", if someone saw you, or actually took your picture :) )

I do not 'think' that celebrities live a "real" life....its more fantasy, heck, would like to try it, not sure that I would want to "live" it.....

The reason that I bring this up.....Jesus......do you think that he was a 'celebrity'?.....He was well known throughout the land, everything he did was up for scrutiny.....The "local press" was drawing his picture everywhere and the stories where 'flying'.......

Most, were untrue......but people believed the stories......before they knew the 'facts/truth'.....but they chose to believe what they 'read'..

Ok....this is my point....The press/media....(rags)......sometimes publish things that are not true, sometimes they are, but, we as a society, a God-loving, fearing, respecting, society....I THOUGHT...was supposed to give the benefit of doubt.....believe in humanity....then, if not, if it is the case of a "person doing wrong"...NOT gloat, not have the attitude of "I am better then thou"....." I would NEVER do that"......."How stupid/foolish".......

How sad are the comments that I am reading about Tiger Woods and his situation, and trust me all the other men who have gone down this path that happen to be in the "watchful eye of the bored person".......

Yes, I believe it is a sin, yes....I believe that there is a God who is watching.....

Why are we......

We need to concentrate on our own lives, not the lives of others because we are bored, or 'superior'.....No one should gloat over someones sins or misfortunes.....it is a sad day for our brothers and sisters, when we do not stand together and support, through thick and thin...good and bad.....

Shame on us for even listening.....Take care of your families, teach them well, and when they falter?...Help pick them up, no kicking, please......

love to all

Can You Believe?

Can you believe that it is almost the lst of DECEMBER? Did this year fly by or what....This has been "THE" year....so many decisions, changes and upheaval.....'many', 'many' vacations....giggle....could you tell we were ready to be freeeeee and just goooo?!!!

I am so thankful for so many things....and I have to say that this has been a year of discovery and newfound friendships....thank you "blogger friends".....how sweet it is to "see" you often and be a part of your lives!

The end of this year is coming faster then I anticipated, yet, there is so much to look forward to next year.....especially YOU........

So, take care this holiday season, enjoy the "mess"....giggle....the decorating, the food, festivities, the lights....oh how I love the lights......lol,......and especially the family.....

Be thankful that you are together, and, if you are not....know that there is a Heavenly Father who is watching over you and yours, and that the holidays are about family, those that are here...and those that are not.......

Be faithful, be loving, be kind.....and realize what this season is all about....love.....

Todays' the day.....or is it tomorrow, oooor yesterday

Geeze not sure.......Just kidding!! Tomorrow, or today, or yesterday, depending on when you read this, I am going to see New Moon, with Erin....Yeah! Loved the books, engaging, engulfing, endearing, romantic.....

Which brings me to the second 'point' of this writing......"p l e a s e" its JUST a movie.....I can just imagine the multitudes of women going home after seeing this, and "despising" their husbands...."he never talks to me like that, he doesn't glow in the sunlight....he can't fly.....darn him......and the young women, setting their young standards to "Edward".....

I can go, love it, even have a few sweet dreams, but when I wake up......reality....I am next to my hubby of 30+ years, grayer, chubbier (hey, so am I) and who makes noises, awake and asleep, that Edward would NEVER make....lololollololol........and again, so do I......

I think it is funny how women ACTUALLY base their relationships on 'characters'...in a book or movie....no wonder the girls/women of today have such a hard time distinguishing between reality and "alternative realities".

When I was young, I "loved" Jim Kirk, Captain of the Enterprise.....(Ok, I was 30, not the point)...In reality, I was infatuated with his "charisma"....and how darn great he looked in those knit pants......Reality? The character was a womanizer.....each episode he had another "woman/alien/freakazoide"......Is that REALLY the kind of man that I wanted?

Short story long.....enjoy the movie, book, the moment....but don't let it change your real values, with a real man. A man who loves you, no matter how gassy, messy you are....oops, I meant, they are....A man who comes home each night, or every few nights, in my case (firemen do have weird schedules)...sometimes talks...sometimes needs quiet times, but comes home, and the quiet times that you do have, to have that talk, in bed, when the kids are asleep, giggling, planning and just being.....That is what makes a romantic relationship. And guys? Well, If I don't have makeup on, or my sweats look alittle funky......I am NOT Cameron Diaz....nor do I play her at home.....get over it.....We women have a hard time, keeping the false eyelashes, nails and boobies together when bending over cleaning the toilet....one more time......

hey, its all good

What Day Is IT....

I was going to do a 'Not Me Monday', then it became a Totally Tuesday (ok, made that one up)...but now I realize, for 'Heavens Sake'.....its Wednesday....Wordless Wednesday.....and I course I have words, no pictures....then.....I realize....tomorrow is Thankful Thursday...okay, I am thankful.....but have to compose.....and then....we are back to Foto Friday.....

I CANNOT HANDLE THE PRESSURE PEOPLE......

I have crumbs to pick up from 'Grandpas' birthday' (Which was on Saturday, but we celebrated on Sunday, because he worked)....Halloween/Thanksgiving things to re-arrange....BECAUSE I know I am behind for decorating for Christmas!!! Trees to put up...cookies to bake.....Ugly sweaters to buy (or in my case, wash) for an upcoming party...(VERY excited for this party!)

Yet,......I am so optimistic and excited to do the things that I know will make me and my family happy.....decorating.....baking...and the ALL IMPORTANT .....drumroll......

"Black Friday"........This to me is hysterical....I have always.....HATED......let me say again...hated, the idea of getting up early (again,....didn't I just wake up at 2 or 3 to make sure the damn turkey was cooking in the paper bag and the snacks were going to be available AFTER the full two course breakfast? Because, on this day....everyone is hungry 24/7...........)

Yet, one night, probably after too much vino.........several years ago.....I agreed.........Now?

Forget the vino....give me Starbucks and a Snuggly.....(lol).....2:30am....3:30am.....the girls and I are in line...laughing.....(this year in matching p.js...).......waiting for the store to open....not really "needing" anything.......

Except the bonding and the fun that we have....sitting and laughing, making jokes....last year, taking turns, sitting in the car with it turned on and the heater blasting....it was fricking cold...this year is supposed to be colder.....soooo

We will make sure that we have the thermoses full of coffee/tea....stored up jokes.....and our snugglies....ready to giggle and laugh that we were willing to sit out in front of a store, not really needing anything, except....each other...

love to all

Cloudy, Wonderful, Day

Yes, today was cloudy, wonderful...I am sorry..really sorry my friends that have had way too much rain...here in So. California...Rain?....maybe a drop or two...or, sometimes I pretend and just 'wash' the windows with the hose and run inside and 'pretend' that it actually 'rained'...how sad is that!!

Still am 'pretending' that it is summer...the nights are colder...the plants, are shivering...heck, its been in the 40's......I am READY for winter.......now...I want you to remember this post....give me a few months and I will be begging for summer, warmer weather.....I could go on and on....but..today?.....Can I have some rain? So, I can flip the 'switch' on my fake fireplace (which I hate), love, a real fire, the smell of oak/mesquite, and a few pine branches thrown in.......aaaah....that is winter....cookies in the oven.....Yankee candles burning......that is winter to me.....

El Nino...are you out there? Rain?....and if we get too much....trust me......you all can beat me with sticks........but..."it never rains in So California".............

So, I will pretend and keep spraying the windows with Victorville Water........ahh 'pretend rain'
