  • a big fat funny on an otherwise not so funny day!


    My friend Kathy's cat died.... see, Kathy has been in the hospital since saturday and has left her husband Bryan in charge of the kid and cat. Bryan realized that he had not seen the cat in a few days  and thought maybe he should look for it. (it's an indoor cat). After just a bit of searching he found the cat dead behind the sofa. (better the cat than the kid right?!?!) So Bryan goes to pick up the cat and realizes that she is stiff as a board. Being the ever so ... uhm... what's the word?... ever so... let's just say.... male, he decides to throw the cat into a paper bag which she promptly plops right through and lands on the floor... Thankfully the kid, an impressionable 6 year old, found this to be the funniest thing she has seen and laughed at poor stiff Sam laying on the kitchen floor.

    so there's the funny....

    but the not so funny...

    This same friend Kathy was diagnosed today with an agressive form of pancreatic cancer. Kathy is one day younger than me (we are  41... actually, she would say she is 41 days younger than me since it's one day for each year... ahhh the math skills of a blonde!) She has been my best friend since we were kids. Anyone who has followed my blog for some time will recognize her as the friend I go camping with practically every weekend in the summer. Her daughter is the pretty little red headed Kira.

    Please, pray that Kathy accept her challenges with His loving hands holding her compassionately close... She is a strong and beautiful woman.

  • Good morning! I wanted to sleep in until noon... But my body woke up! My head did not want to wake up but my body did. It said it's time to wake up! So I woke up! Now my head is trying to talk my body into a nap. My stomach is trying to talk the rest of the body into breakfast - but the rest of my body just wants to sit here. Part of my head and heart are thinking about Christmas shopping before its too late... All these arguments... Maybe I can hibernate until spring. Do donkeys hibernate?

    Body: :hammer: Wake up!

    Head: :sleepy: No! Let's sleep some more!

    Heart: :love: Time to Christmas shop!

    Let me integrate all this now: :frog:

  • I think the stomach is winning... :frog:

  • Ack! You are late! Get to work - or go back to bed - or SOMETHING!

    :grin:

  • You are stuffed?!? Wait - the turkey is supposed to be stuffed - not you!? How did that happen? :frog:

  • Praying for your friend and family! And for you, too!........In Christ's Love...Monic

  • prayers for your freind...smile

  • Kathy is definitely in my prayers.
