Twinkle twinkle little star

I am up before the chickens this morning.  It is dark outside and if I'd pull up the shades a little more, I bet I could see a twinkling star.  Waking up earlier than planned happens to me when I have lots to do and little time.  I argue with myself about what I should be doing....read "get moving, fatty."  I really should exercise, but I'm dressed and ready to board a plane.  I know-- excuses, excuses.  I'm still not going against my grain on the exercise journey.  So I'm dressed and smelling good (e.g. not that sweaty smell) and I'm heading south again to crazy Austin where their motto is "Keep Austin Weird."  Not everyone there has that motto; there are some "normal" people, but I think they live in Georgetown; or at least that is THEIR motto.

Do you have a motto?  I'm thinking about what my motto would be if I had to wear it on a t-shirt.  I read a cartoon once where a guy is sitting at a light.  The car behind him is honking at him like crazy.  At first the guy is ignoring the horn but then he just can't contain himself.  He gets out of his car yelling obscenities at the woman behind him and stressing that it is STILL a red light and blah, blah, blah.  She meekly rolls down the window and says "Your bumper stickers says 'Honk if you love Jesus.'"  I have to admit:  I'd probably be that insanely mad person getting out of my car and screaming like a banshee at the person behind me (or at least I'd be thinking it out in my head!).  And that is why I don't have a "Honk if you love Jesus" bumper sticker on my car.  So what is a motto?  Would it define me?  Would I make it and then promptly forget about it?  Probably!!

Again I ask:  Do you have a motto?  A phrase to live by?  Shoot me an email and tell me your motto.  And if you are a dead-end doll, then tell me in person!!  I'll be seeing you soon!

Speaking of dolls,  I received my first colored picture from one.  Whoo hoo.  Looky at my new refrigerator art.

Happy Halloween!!!  Don'tcha just love the red, red lipstick?  No matter what your weight, red lipstick makes it all better!

Recently I purchased an already assembled chicken strip salad from a neighborhood fast food joint and decided that I could probably make one just as good and loads cheaper than the $6.00 I just paid.  So without further ado...(sorry, Graini-aunt, I can't go without mentioning food....I tried...honest!  pffff now you know that's not true.... I LOVE FOOD....Hey, I think I found my motto!)

Now tell me that doesn't look scrumptious!  You are welcome!
