Sometimes doing whats right can hurt.

You know who you are, and what I mean. Do what you need to do; we’ll be ok. F&A… I promise.

Albert Einstein quotes that I find funny!

“The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits.”

“The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources.”

“Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school.”

“If A is a success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut.”

“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the the universe.”

“You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat.”

What fun we had!! Leah is a hoot to work with, and she really had some great ideas.

Here are a few shots that she previewed for us late last night (boy she works fast!)

If you’re at all interested in these people, come back on Sunday for my next “An Interview with…” post – it’s all about them! You might find out a few things about me you didn’t know too… in their words! ;)

Sensational Haiku Wednesday

Welcome to “Sensational Haiku Wednesday!”

Click here for info and background on this weekly event!

The basics:

Haiku is simple! It is 3 non-rhyming lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively (a great way to use your fingers!)

As of February 3, 2010, Silly Haiku Wednesday became “Sensational Haiku Wednesday”. Please adjust bookmarks and blog posts accordingly!

This week’s theme is: Generosity

My submission for this week:

There for me, always
Selfless, generous, true blue
Ever in my heart.

And because I totally forgot what day it was going to be when I chose the theme for the week…

Green, yet full of fire
A spirited lust for life
Well… I AM Irish…

Next week’s theme: Dreams

Note: Nothing makes me happier than to see new people getting “hooked on haiku”! Keep it going to make it to the Hooked on Haiku List

I am very excited about this interview, and even more so because it takes a lot for these three wonderful people to pour their hearts out to complete strangers! You and I both know they’re doing it simply because they love me, and I’m sure my readers will share the love too!

My bloggy/haiku friend Shakira has started her own meme! It’s called “Weekend Funnies” and all you need to do is post something funny to share. Seems simple enough! I’m catching the tail-end of it this time, since I was AFK* a lot last week and didn’t have time to prepare anything for it. I’ll try to do better next time!

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray my sanity I keep.
For if some peace I do not find,
I’m pretty sure I’ll lose my mind.

I pray I find a little quiet,
Far from the daily family riot.
May I lie back and not have to think
About what they’re stuffing down the sink,

Or who they’re with, or where they’re at
And what they’re doing to the cat.
I pray for time all to myself
(did something just fall off a shelf?)

To cuddle in my nice, soft bed
(Oh no, another goldfish–dead!)
Some silent moments for goodness sake
(Did I just hear a window break?)

And that I need not cook or clean
(well heck, I’ve got the right to dream)
Yes now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray my wits about me keep,
But as I look around I know,
I must have lost them long ago!

* AFK = “Away From Keyboard” for those who aren’t sure of that one ;)

Buddy, don’t call me Pal, OK?

I have a “thing” about being called Buddy, or Pal. For me it’s along the same lines as saying Jerk. Long story. It came up this week, so I’m using it today.

Besides the obvious Jenn, I also answer to Sweetheart, Darling, Babe, and, of course, Your Majesty. Just sayin’.

Such quiet changes
A hint of what once was good
Happiness returns.

What a beautiful weekend! The snow is melting, the sun is shining, and all is right with the world.

Wee One was tickled to be outside with just a light jacket, and able to swing in the sunshine. (We’re also tickled that her two bottom teeth are finally coming in!)

Please, Mother Nature… let it stay! We’ve all had enough of winter.

Seeing more clearly… pain is gone!

Another chapter in my surgery saga. It’s been 2 weeks, and I am definitely seeing very well now. I still have very dry eyes, but not nearly as bad as they were (I can actually get them open in the morning now without first using drops), and I don’t have to medicate to get to sleep now. I still can’t drive at night (the glare from headlights is brutal) but I’m hoping that will clear up soon so I don’t wear out the extreme generosity of my loved ones!!

When I mentioned that they’d be singing Unchained Melody, I had a request left by JennyMac to upload it to YouTube so she could enjoy one of her favourite songs.

Always eager to please, here it is for your listening pleasure!

As upset as I was with what was going on, I do so love to listen to our guys do this song. I love that I can pick out J-B and Knarf in certain spots too! (ShaMoo and I are obviously very dialed-in to their voices by now, and would know them anywhere!)

They were a big hit at this past concert, for good reason – they were wonderful! Even better in person than the concert recording suggests. And of course seeing them do it was sublime – there was no video taken though.

Our own group was also featured, doing Somewhere Out There, which was such a pleasure to do for this concert! I’ve already uploaded that one before though, so I’ll let the men entertain you on their own this time.

Enjoy!
