An old man, a boy & a donkey were going to town. The boy rode on the donkey & the old man walked. As they went along they passed some people who remarked it was a shame the old man was walking & the boy was riding. The man & boy thought maybe the critics were right, so they changed positions.

Later, they passed some people that remarked, "What a shame, he makes that little boy walk." They then decided they both would walk! Soon they passed some more people who thought they were stupid to walk when they had a decent donkey to ride. So, they both rode the donkey.

Now they passed some people that shamed them by saying how awful to put such a load on a poor donkey. The boy & man said they were probably right, so they decided to carry the donkey. As they crossed the bridge, they lost their grip on the animal & he fell into the river and drowned.

The moral of the story?
If you try to please everyone, you might as well...



Kiss your ass good-bye.



Have A Nice Day &
Be Careful With Your Donkey

Thanks!

Switching sites soon. Won't be any less boring, just visible to a few less eyes.

HA! My email has been broken for a week. And I fixed it!!!!

All. By. Myself.


thank you.

Only 2 more sleeps until we leave for our trip! I am so excited to see my niece and nephews!!! It'll be the first time I've ever seen Levi, and he's almost 3 months old already! And my sister has a new house to show off, and my other sister just bought 5.5 acres of property to walk around, so we'll be busy visiting and seeing new stuff. I honestly can't wait. I miss them all so much. And they are all looking forward to seeing our new car, so that will be nice too. And we're going to colour Easter eggs, and I'm going to get a hair cut, and and and.

Sorry. This is a terrible entry but I really wanted to get those church pictures moving down the list.

We played pool with his co-workers last night, and it was a lot of fun. And we're going out with friends tonight to a Memphis barbeque restaurant, sounds fun too, right?


Seriously, I'll just stop writing now.

This is what he was trying to send in the comments below...he's very cute :)

seriously, we're not fighting...

It's been a long time since my last post, and I just realized I didn't ever post my nephew's name. They named him Levi Lawson. And he's growing like a weed. They also just moved into their new house, which is pretty exciting for all of us. Made a pretty good profit from the sale of their old house, and are now just settling in to enjoy the new, and much roomier one. Congratulations to the whole family!!

We just bought ourselves a new car. Well, a pre-owned car, but new to us. There was a lot involved in actually getting possession of it, but it's home now and seems to be doing fine. We're taking it on a road trip in a few weeks, so we'll really get to see how it performs then.

My job is getting a little less overwhelming. It's been almost three months and I am FINALLY starting to feel like I might know what I'm doing. It's a lot of work, and somedays I feel like I have no idea what I'm doing and that I should just give up the charade and go home, but they are really nice people, and for whatever reason they seem to think that I am doing really well. I've also managed to end up with the biggest office, a brand new computer (an imac! and it's really only because my current computer has pretty much imploded) and I've already taken four separate courses. They are just little mini courses, but still...it's a nice feeling to be able to get that kind of perk. If only I felt more sure of what I'm doing. But I guess it will come with time.

We had a really casual Valentine's day this year. It was nice, very nice, and my husband bought me two huge and beautiful bouquet's of flowers. One of them he delivered to my office himself. When I left the office this past friday the lilies were still blooming!! He does know how to buy flowers.

Just one more thing, and then that's it for my boring update. I LOVE being married. I love it every day. And I'm very thankful that my husband is the man that he is. I am so lucky to have him.

Brand new brothers!

(I took the picture down, sorry...)

It's a boy!!!! 6 lbs, 7 ounces. Only 1 hour of labour in the hospital, a midwife makes a huge difference! Both mother and son are doing fine, and I'll update later when they choose a name.
**grin**

My sister is in labour! Wish for an easy delivery please!!! :)

I know this is late, but I've been very busy. And I can't think of anything else to write, so late or not, here:
