A man was crossing a road one day when a small dragon called out to
him and said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess."

He bent over, picked up the dragon, and put it in his pocket.

The dragon spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back
into a beautiful princess, I will tell everyone how smart and brave
you are and how you are my hero".

The man took the dragon out of his pocket, smiled at it, and returned
it to his pocket.

The dragon spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back
into a
beautiful princess, I will be your loving companion for an entire
week."

The man took the dragon out of his pocket, smiled at it, and returned
it to
his pocket.

The dragon then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn be back into a
princess, I'll stay with you for a year and do ANYTHING you want!"

Again the man took the dragon out, smiled at it, and put it back into
his
pocket.

Finally, the little dragon asked, "What's the matter? I've told you
I'm a beautiful princess, that I'll stay with you for a year and do
anything you want. Why won't you kiss me?"

The man said, "Look, I'm a rennie. I don't have time for a
girlfriend, but a talking dragon is cool!"
Tonight I'm getting some Rob time in and tomorrow I'll be getting some Cooper time in. Everyone is heading to the beach on Sunday for a week and I'm being left at home to keep everything running smoothly. Rob has surgery Monday on his ankle and David let me have the day off even though Jo and Art won't be here. I'm hoping that this really helps Rob. He's been in so much pain due to this.

I'm so tired...last night I wrestled with the squishy bed topper Jo and Art gave me. Lord that thing is heavy. Then after getting my bed all back together I realized I had put the squishy thing on top of my heated mattress pad. ARGH! Rob said after he's healed he'll help me fix the problem. He's such a sweetie. I did sleep better last night...I didn't feel like an old decrepit woman this morning when I woke up.
It's always nice to go away for a few days and have a wonderful time even if you do nothing but spend time with someone you care about! :)



You Are Spaghetti with Pesto



Compared to most people, you have complex tastes. You're a bit of a walking contradiction.

You like a little bit of everything, even if the things you like don't go together.

You aren't picky at all. You can find something to like about almost anything.

You don't judge on appearances alone. You like to experience something before you judge it.

What Pasta Dish Are You?



You Are Green Tea



You are a well balanced person. You don't have many highs or lows in your life.

You enjoy bursts of creative energy and productivity. But you also enjoy your downtime.



You are insightful and philosophical. You don't take much personally.

You are at peace with who you are. You don't have an inflated sense of self.

What Kind of Tea Are You?
I didn't share all weekend.
We went to 5 Guys for dinner on Friday night followed by Coldstone ice cream. Gave Rob the 25 cent tour of Jo and Art's, let the dogs out, and then relaxed on the couch watching tv snuggled up. At about 10:30 Sam said it was time for bed. This could be because Rob had already been sleeping for over and hour already but I decided that Sam was right and nudged Rob and got him moving in the right direction.

Saturday was a lazy day for Rob. The dogs demanded to go out and to be fed, go figure. I finally went and woke him up and discussed lunch. I went and did that while he showered. More cuddling and Rob snoozing on the couch. I made him killer brownies and we ordered pizza for dinner. After a foot massage for Rob and a show he slept through I was ready for bed.

For Sunday I'd say wash, rinse, repeat except for after letting the dogs out at 6:30 I went back to bed and didn't wake again until almost 11. I can't believe the dogs...read Quigley...let me sleep that long. I got up and left the room and no one followed. I actually had to go back and get the dogs. After a late breakfast for the dogs and a call to Jo I woke up Rob. We talked for a bit and after ascertaining that he was hungry I went to start breakfast while he showered. He said breakfast was passable or maybe he said it was okay. I can't remember now. More snuggling on the couch, a nap for Rob while I washed, dryed and re-made the bed. Fed the dogs, let them out and left for home. I was sorry for the weekend to end. It was nice not sharing.
Only two rules:
You must answer yes or no.
You may not explain unless someone asks

Yesterday, I arrived home and heard something running. I went downstairs
to discover the basement covered in an inch of water. The running noise
was coming from the bathroom and at first I'm thinking that somehow the
toilet has overflowed. Wrong! The tank had a crack in it from the top
all the way to the bottom and the water that was trying to fill it up
was just running out...no wait...POURING out the crack. First things
first...turn off the water. Did that then went looking for the wet/dry
vac. Found that and the hose plugged it in, turned it on and voila! it should start
sucking up water right??? Wrong! You have to remove the filter bag
thingy first. Thank goodness for Rob. He talked me through that so that
I was able to suck up and dump 16 gallons of water before JC arrived.
See, Dad's in Atlanta and won't be home until Thursday. Some where in
there Mom got home and joined in on the fun. The long and the short of
it is 4 hours later and with the help of JC and Tim, we had it all
cleaned up. Well, there's more that needs to be done but there isn't
water on the floor anymore. I can't even begin to imagine how long it
would have taken without JC and Tim's help. It's nice to have a brother
and cousins who live close! :)

BLUE NEEDS: To be good (morally), To be understood, To be appreciated, Acceptance.


BLUE WANTS: To reveal insecurities, Quality, Autonomy, Secuirity.


SUMMARY: Blues are motivated by altruism. They love to do nice things for others. they look for opportunites to give up something in order to bring another person happiness. selflessness rather than selfishness is their guiding philosophy. Blues seek intimacy. They want to be loved and to love. A true blue will sacrifice a successful career to improve an important relationship. Blues crave being understood. They are gratified when they are listened to, when they feel understood and appreciated. Blues may have thier hearts broken more than most people, but they also spend much more time in love. Blues are directed by a strong moral conscience. They have a moral code that guides them in their decision making, their value judgements, and their leisure time. A blue would rather lose than cheat. Ethically, blues are people who should be in positions of power, but seldom are.
