Joke of the Week:

A man and his wife were sitting around the breakfast table one lazy Sunday morning.

He said to her, “If I were to die suddenly, I want you to immediately sell all my stuff.”

“Now why would you want me to do something like that?” she asked.

“I figure that you would eventually remarry and I don’t want some other jerk using my stuff.”

The wife looked at her husband and said, “What makes you think I’d marry another jerk?”

Quote of the Week:

“I will greet this day with love in my heart. And how will I do this?
Henceforth will I look on all things with love and be born again.
I will love the sun for it warms my bones; yet I will love the rain for it cleanses my spirit.
I will love the light for it shows me the way; yet I will love the darkness for it shows me the stars.
I will welcome happiness as it enlarges my heart; yet I will endure sadness for it opens my soul.
I will acknowledge rewards for they are my due; yet I will welcome obstacles for they are my challenge.” – Og Mandino

{May 6, 2013} 11th Birthday Care Package

Carolina (my sponsor child) will be turning eleven this coming July (2013) so I sent her care package early to make sure she’ll get it prior to her special day. Chalk, dolls, hand puppet, crayons, coloring books, magic paint books, colored pencils, purple high heel pencil sharpener, flower shaped erasers, pens, pencils, markers, recorder, purple paper, bday card, stickers, pink ruler, bubble wands, and a windmill toy were inside this time.

My sister pointed out that all 3 Barbie dolls have the exact same face & body.

What sets them apart are eyeshadow makeup, hair color, outfit, and skin tones.

Would you believe that it cost more to mail the actual package than what all the gifts cost combined?

Joke of the Week:

Several weeks after a young man had been hired, he was called into the personnel director’s office.

“What is the meaning of this?” the director asked. “When you applied for this job, you told us you had five years experience. Now we discovered this is the first job you’ve ever held.”

“Well, ” the young man replied, “in your advertisement you said you wanted somebody with imagination.”

Weird Fact of the Week:

A sunset is usually more brilliant than a sunrise because of the dust and particles that are kicked up by the sun heating the ground creating thermals. The dust then refracts the light and creates colors in the sky.

Quote of the Week:

“Ask not for an easy life…ask for the strength to face the elements, to weather the storms; to be the might for the right and the weak, to be the voice for those who cannot speak, to see one’s dreams to fruition with dignity, integrity, and grace.” – Giac Nguyen

{May 6, 2013} Ketchup can’t save this nastiness!!!

Good morning gorgeous I seen a fairly easy recipe in Martha Stewart’s mag but the end result was so bland and just downright disgusting. I tried to save with ketchup but ended up throwing it in the garbage after only a few bites. I’m not typically a food waster so that says a lot.

Perhaps, different seasonings or a cast iron skillet would’ve made it more flavorful. Personally I wouldn’t reattempt this potato pancake recipe again or recommend it to anyone but if you do decide to try I sure hope you have better luck than me. Everyone’s taste buds respond differently.

Weird Fact of the Week:

YMCA stands for the Young Men’s Christian Association, a welfare movement that began in London in 1844 and now has branches all over the world.

Quote of the Week:

“We know that America thrives when every person can find independence and pride in their work, when the wages of honest labor will liberate families from the brink of hardship. We are true to our creed when a little girl born into the bleakest poverty knows that she has the same chance to succeed as anybody else because she is an American, she is free, and she is equal not just in the eyes of God but also in our own.” − Barack Obama, 57th Presidential Inaugural Address, Jan. 21, 2013

After looking up and down the aisles she asked the sales clerk for help.
