Other things

 

Silly weather!

According to Google, today's temps are supposed to set a record (88*) -- but come Sunday (quoting) "Temperatures will plumet." 

Dramatic much?   By plummet, they mean 79.*

Only in Alabama, lol!

Oh friends, how I appreciate all your sweet comments on my last post!

The idea came to me when I remembered an old alphabet exercise.  Some may remember ...

"Our facilitator urged the class to compile Lists of 100. "

I'm pretty sure somewhere there exists a spiral notebook containing tired pages that read:  100 Things that (bring me Joy) (I miss) (to put on my Bucket List) ... yada-yada.   

When sleep is scarce, it beats counting sheep!

Speaking of bucket lists!  How different those long-ago notes look v. how I would answer today.  It's amusing to dream, but no.  For better or worse, I've been incredibly blessed.

Anyway!

Yesterday's Gathering at Oak Tavern was nice.  There's no way to describe my salad other than "dreadful" -- but the company and view more than made up for it.

(l-r) Kay, Linda, Sue, me, Cindy, Sharon, Shannon, Sally, Bev

Now ....
In all seriousness, "What would you do?"

Inadvertently, Kay sent these photos out through our Bible study (FB) thread ... not realizing not everyone in class was invited to join The Gatherers.   We never intended exclusivity; rather, our aim was to gather with like-minded ladies.  (Make of that what you will, lol!)

Not a minute later, someone typed, "Where is this? ... I said, WHERE is this? ... a restaurant? ... Church???"

Then, "Nobody thought of asking me if I wanted to go?" -- followed by a vomiting emoji. 

Honestly, "B" isn't the most pleasant person -- she's usually antagonistic with no social skills.  Still, I hate that she obviously had her feelings hurt.  It's never a good idea to fib, but while the rest of us were looking at each other like, "Oh s***", Sue replied, "It was mentioned at class; you must have missed it."  

I'm going early to class next Monday where Cindy's offered to build me a new, private thread.  

This isn't 'Watercooler Wednesday', but I'm curious:

Have you ever mistakenly sent a text or an e-mail to the wrong person?

😮

... and the beat goes on.

I hope y'all enjoy a wonderful day!

Hugs, Myra

Oh lookie!!!
The amazing Hootin’ Anni has presented me with this special award … my first! Thank you sooo much ... I'm tickled! To excerpt Anni’s own post:

This fun award is meant to encourage and uplift others in the blogging world.
Here's how it works: Select 10 bloggers: 5 you consider your blogging Helping Hand, then "Pay it Forward" by extending your "Helping Hand" to 5 additional new bloggers, in support and encouragement for their efforts.

Being a relative newbie, I'm at a loss to identify more than these few names ....whose encouraging words keep me “keeping on” …. and who, I hope, will deliver a swift kick in the *** when I need it most.

Monica at Changes in the Wind
Jean at Welcome to our World
Charlotte at Charlotte's Weblog
Clif at Musings of a Minister
......n' of course, back-at-cha Anni!

Oh! … if this is looks like something anyone else would like … please feel free to grab it and pay it forward!



SLAM BOOK MEME….. (again, borrowed from Hootin’ Anni)

32. Quote: From the Velveteen Rabbit ... “It doesn’t happen all at once,” said the Skin Horse. “You become. It takes a long time. That’s why it doesn’t happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in your joints and very shabby. But these things don’t matter at all, because once you are Real you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand.”
