Time out!!!!!

The elves are tired...

The bears are pooped...

And so am I...

so I'm going to take a little blogging vacation until the New Year. I'm just asking ya'll to please not post anything good while I'm gone. I won't have internet access, and I don't want to totally lose my mind while I'm away wondering what you guys are up to with your posts. I don't want to feel the urge to go to the library to catch up on the latest and greatest. And I just know it's going to be bad because I'm curious...some might say nosey! So, please just take yourselves a blog posting holiday. We can all get back to work in 2009! Besides, I know we all have stuff to clean up. See, I'm really looking out for you too! ;O)

Thanks & LOL! Have a safe & happy New Year!

XOXO!

Submission

SUBMISSION....that's a big word, and I must CoNfEsS that it's not one of my favorite words...to say the least...however, tonight at church, http://www.covechurch.org/, we were told to be submissive...Hmmmm.....that's a hard word for me, as it's not my nature.

1 Peter, Chapter 2, Verse 17 (NIV)

Show proper respect to everyone: Love the brotherhood of believers, fear God, honor the king.

I don't think he is referring to

Of course, I hope "the king" is the candidate for whom I voted. I'm not going to lie to you....it's going to be tough for me to "honor the king" after Tuesday's election if the candidate I support doesn't win....but I'm ordered to do that...so I've got to prepare for the possibility.

Will I like it? ABSOLUTELY NOT! In typical childlike fashion, I'm not asked to LIKE IT......I just have to DO IT! And in typical childlike fashion....I'm praying for "my king" to win!

Hey, I never claimed to be perfect....

P.S. Just went over to eBay & saw this...how bout that for a laugh??? Who can resist Cabbage Patch kids?

What sign are you?

I'm not much into Astrology, but for the record, I'm an Aquarius/borderline Pisces a/k/a

a water sign, depending on who you believe.

On the other hand, Hubby thinks I'm a

No comment!!! (I just KNOW I don't hear a collective DUH!)

So..........what kind of sign are you?

A stop sign maybe....where nothing gets past you?

A yield sign...always cautious?

I certainly hope you're not someone's....

Maybe a U-turn because you....

well, you know that part!

Or maybe you're a work in progress...

but aren't WE ALL, really?

Or maybe a cents sign because you have a lot of sense/cents?...

Or maybe you're just a B.F. (big fat)
like me...(It's o.k.!....Sistas unite!)

Or maybe you're just a Dear Ahead!!! (That's what I think!)

When it comes right down to it.....I think we're ALL a sign of sOmE sort!

And finally....for a laugh....(no offense if there's any guys reading)

LOL to you all!

And HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DADDY!

Tuesday...and not in the Tablescape Way

Ok, so I voted 2 days ago, and I was in & out in 45 minutes...the worst part was it appeared they were short staffed, so I can only imagine what Tuesday will be like. I would suggest you vote early, if you can because I can see a big issue coming about everyone not getting in to vote "in time" on Tuesday night. As I've stated before, neither guy is really "MY" candidate; however, this year, I based my decision on my religious beliefs...not that I'm trying to be preachy.

OR.....


That being said...there is still time to vote. I would encourage everyone to do so, whether we agree on the "team" or not.

I received this over e-mail yesterday.

Please consider this regarding REDISTRIBUTION.....

Yesterday on my way to lunch I passed a homeless guy with a
sign that read 'Vote Obama, I need the money.' I laughed.

Once in the restaurant my server had on an 'Obama 08' button, again
I laughed as he had given away his political preference-- just
imagine the coincidence.

When the bill came I decided not to tip the server and explained to
him that I was exploring the Obama redistribution of wealth concept.
He stood there in disbelief while I told him that I was going to
redistribute his tip to someone who I deemed more in need - the
homeless guy outside. The server angrily stormed from my sight.

I went outside, gave the homeless guy $10 and told him to thank the
server inside, as I've decided he could use the money more. The
homeless guy was grateful.

At the end of my rather unscientific redistribution experiment, I
realized the homeless guy was grateful for the money he did not
earn, but the waiter was pretty angry that I gave away the money he
did earn even though the actual recipient needed money more.

I don't know about you....but my family has always had to work for EVERYTHING we have. I'll help almost anyone, but I'm not really interested in giving FREE RIDES! (not financially, anyway)

Enough said...And as always, may God bless America and her allies!
