Regular Randomness

>>  Friday, March 27, 2009


I’m contemplating penning an autobiography. I don’t have any intentions of getting it published anywhere other than my local kinkos with a spiral binding, but I figure ‘why not’? Its something I would cherish had my grandparents left something like that behind.

I’ve got a twitch. An eye twitch to be more specific. Its driving me crazy. I googled my condition, and discovered it to be a fatigue and stress. I don’t feel overly tired *yawn*. Stress? Is that what they call all of this? I thought it was just life with a case of ‘responsibilities’.

A few weeks ago -it was March 6th to be exact, a fellow blogger told me that I was “witty and charming”. I have never been given that title. I like it. It made me feel good. She offered up these kind words via an email. I have kept that email in my inbox. Lame. I know. But her kindness made me feel good.

I played hookie (with permission of course) from work and spent the afternoon at the bowling alley with my boys. It’s the first time my better half and I have been bowling together in the 13 years we have been together. The first time I have bowled in at least 15 years. The joy in my youngest eyes as he watched that 6lb ball travel down the lane is permanently etched in to my minds eye. The joy I felt inside, watching him was like nothing else I have ever experienced. At that moment, I was happy and completely content with the world.

I recently received a bruise to my ego. I bruise easily, and the person that did it is brass. That fact doesn’t make it hurt any less. In fact, I was recounting the ‘witty and charming’ email. My warm fuzzies over the compliment was met with “you’ve got that person fooled…you better put that up for a poll’. Ouch!

I spent a recent breezy Saturday at the Zoo with my boys. My little guys walked the entire park like champs. Their little legs keeping pace, earning an extra mile for every mile I put on my own feet. Man, I love those little boys of mine.

If you did put up a poll, mark me down as a vote for witty and charming! Please add an extra box for funny and kind too.
I hate it when my feelings get hurt.

You ARE witty and charming. I bruise easily, too. That's one reason I wish I never signed up for Facebook.

I think you are witty and charming too! And I think that is a great compliment, being called "witty" is one of my favorite compliments I've ever gotten!

You certainly are witty and charming. That person was right. I love my visits here because it's a happy place.

You never know what is going to come out of a person's mouth (or type) do you? I agree, you are a sweetie!

My ego bruises easily, too. And it takes a heap of "witty and charming" comments to cover over one mean comment.

You are most witty and charming! And I'm not just saying that because you carry a gun.

My sweet friend...you absolutely, without a doubt, are truly witty and charming....that person knew what she was talking about;) I firmly believe it came from the heart:) In fact, I know it did!

I love the idea of a Mom-oire! I thought of doing this very thing especially when all the health junk came down with the hubster.
I say go for it! Your children will cherish it:)

You know I love ya!

I would love to read your story!

Swizz 29 March, 2009 11:08  

New here! You commented on my blog and I thought I'd check yours out. :o)

It breaks my heart that someone would say something unkind. I went way too long in life letting other people's words affect how I feel about myself. It wasn't until I TRULY realized that my worth is in Christ, not in people, that I took hold of my life.

Not that I don't get my feelings hurt anymore. I just don't let them dictate WHO I am and what I'm worth.

Stay witty and charming! I'll continue to come back and read your blog!

My hubby and I bowl every Friday night on a league. We've been doing it for years. Love it!! we take the kids bowling every so often too. I Love watching my kids... they get so excited even if they only get 1 pin. Hey... don't let others bring you down. Just smile and think to yourself how awfully sad they must be inside to try to hurt someone else!! :)

I too keep e-mails that make me feel good. I've kept a few of yours for that reason. And you ARE witty and charming, there is no doubt about that!

Cassie 12 April, 2009 15:00  

I could have written that email, cause those are some of the words I'd use to describe you too! In life I've learned that there are "lifter uppers" and "shooter downers". MadameXBrass was a shooter downer. Her purpose was to try to steal your joy. I'm thinking she was defeated, as you can see how much you mean to all of us commenting here. Before I was a Christian I used to say,"Don't let the little people get you down." I think it's still a good saying. {{HUGS}}
