I can’t remember things so well. And I definitely can’t remember the long ago time that happened in grade school. You don’t need to know specifics on how long ago that is. Let’s just say, it’s been a few years. There are a few things I can though.

That One Special Friend
You’re not all there, are you?
There is no if, possibly, or maybe.
You are in all the way.
Absolutely, positively crazy.
The light is usually off.
A few aces shy of a deck.
Dancing to your own music.
Your dots just don’t always connect.
But I prefer it that way
and that is in no way a shocker.
Because as you can see
I’m also totally off my rocker!

What’s On Your Youtube round 2
Enough time has passed since I last played this game. It’s time for another round of What’s On Your Youtube?
I’m excluding most of the videos I looked up to use in my blog. And all the Christmas videos I looked up when I did a carol a-day till Christmas (which was a pretty awesome idea if I do say so myself).
So, the most recent video I watched. Well, it’s a little embarrassing.
What? You’re just jealous because you don’t have a song with your name in it.
Moving on.
Next are videos used in my blog. After that are some family videos. I’ll include this one. If it seems like it jumps in the middle of something that’s because it does. I’m including it because it has our bloopers at the end. What a fun family, eh? The good times really begin at 9:12. fhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-32QN_WJ14
Then there are the songs that get stuck in my head. I have this theory that the only way to get a song out of my head is to listen to it.
And finally for the most embarrassing video in my history. I don’t know what to say. I had to see what all the hubbub was about. I guess. I really don’t know.
I think that’s a good place to end this round.
Fishing for Complements!

Now it’s time for a round of
Fishing for Complements!
How about some complimentary complements? That’s right folks, complEments (to make whole or complete).
One 45 degree angle said to another: we’re so right together!
One 90 degree angle said to another: you are my straight and narrow!
One 180 degree angle said to another: I came full circle because of you!
The noun said to the verb: you complete me!
The tree said to the branch: I’m naked without you. Don’t ever leaf me!
The car said to the gas: you move me!
The glass said to the water: you fill me up!
The status said to the like: I felt so unseen before you!
The day said to the sun: you light up my life!
The sentence said to the exclamation point: you’re my perfect ending!
Wow! Those are really bad. Can you do better?
I So Want to Eat Lunch (but it’s only 9:00am)
I am
really very hungry, you know.
Why do
the dumb mornings drag by so slow?
I want
to eat my lunch – dig in – right now.
But this
one thing I won’t – I can’t – allow.
Because
then I will be hungry at two.
And that
won’t work for me – it will not do.
Because
at two I fight to stay awake.
And this
routine I can not, will not break.
If I
give in and eat my lunch too soon
Then I
face a very long afternoon.

A Conversation about M&M’s
My oldest niece has the monogram MM. Of course with that built-in born-awesomeness she has adopted M&M candy as her unofficial mascot. So yes, this is a real conversation. And no, it isn’t weird.
“I like the brown M&M,” she said. “Because she’s smart and sexy.”
“And mean,” I replied.
She raised an eyebrow at me.
I explained the new M&M commercial.
The Meaning Behind the Dream
The other night I had a peculiar dream. I’ll share it with you. I was at a Girls’ Camp type function. Thankfully, we were in cabins – or cabin like facilities. There were four of us per cabin though I’m not sure I ever saw any of my roommates. I assume they were my fellow leaders. Continue reading
Oops!
I am prone to mistakes. Some are small and I can walk them off. Others are doozies and I pay for them for the rest of my life.
Case in point: my niece, Lyn, asked me years ago to make a wedding video for her – when the time came – with a certain song. My reply? But of course!
Pavlov’s Associations

It’s kind of my life work to be remembered when I’m gone. I told my niece that I want to be the photo bomb in her stash of Polaroid memories. A little creepy? Perhaps. But being memorable takes a lot of work. Sometimes you just don’t know when a Pavlov trigger is planted. Sometimes you have little control over the associations that bring you to mind. Oh shucks.
When a Two Year Old Made My Day
Connection: 1) the joining together of two or more people, things, or parts. 2) something that links two or more things (Encarta).
I like to feel connected. Apparently. I used to have this – for lack of a better word – game I played with my mom. I never really knew any of my grandparents so I’d have her tell me stories about them. Mainly my grandmas. I wanted to know who I looked like, who I acted like, what traits I inherited, and blah blah blah.
