Good Monday!

Hello, My name is Strawberry and I'm a Messie!  Did you know they have a Messie's Anonymous?  I'm thinking about starting a chapter here in Rural, USA except I don't have time and my house is a M-E-S-S!  I wonder if it is like Weight Watchers where in order to lead you must first succeed in the program?!  Personally I'd rather have an overweight leader who is struggling like I am versus a skinny minnie who now eats every kind of veggie and has 500 ways to make it into a gourmet meal....from scratch....and enters every 5k, 10k, 100k event!  That's not me.  Yes, I yo-yo and I go-go and I still don't get anywhere.  There's my confession for the day.

In other news, Boy launched the 2nd part of his Eagle Project (first part being it got approved!)....a spaghetti lunch and dessert auction fund raiser.  It was a success.  Thank you, Lord, that part is over.  In addition to getting this fund raiser taken care of, we celebrated Working Girl's birthday AND I wrote and submitted a paper for Old Testament (that is why I had to neglect you, dear Grainiacs; I'm so sorry. Actually I need a ghost writer...someone who say, has already taken OT and Christian Ethics that misses the readings and the deadlines....anyone?  Anyone at all?).

And still in other news, I have a boatload (I'd like to use a different adjective? indirect object? Aw hell who cares...okay you English teachers do and I'd like to think harder about it, but nope!) of lettuce.  Consider this an invitation to come and eat lettuce with me for the next couple of weeks.  I don't know how many salad-eating people Hubby was expecting at the fund raiser but he was expecting A BOATLOAD of them!!!  We served about 50 people and have at least 10 heads of lettuce left-over!  I think he is secretly reading my blogs and saw my Go Green post and decided we will flush out our systems.  Or it might be his upcoming colonoscopy?  I'm not telling him he'll still need an enema or five!  He is happily eating his breakfast this morning and I sure don't want to be the kill-joy.  The doctor didn't tell him to flush himself out so I'm thinking the procedure is for some other day otherwise his doctor is in for the BIG surprise!  LOL  There you go, I was being so good by saying "boatload" and I still wind up talking about shit. 

Some of you have already seen this but it makes me smile every time I read it.....thank you Julia Turner Creations (whoever you are!); you have captured my very essence!

Have a great Monday, Grainiacs, and smile... you are not alone....we are in this together...in thin and in thick.
