Glass half-full/half-empty


I don't have any money or claim to fame, but here's what I do have:

People can Google pusticular psoriasis, scary strange recipe, or fungus mnemonic device, and find my blog

Chocolate power bar streaked across my cheek the entire time I was getting my hair cut at the beauty shop the other day (Thanks Lord, for keeping me humble)

25 extra pounds that ain't going nowhere (okay, okay, 30!)

An expired driver's license that I can't find (shocker)

Vacation scenery out my window without all the pesky maids cleaning up after me like they would at a resort.

5 kids, 1 cat, 1 duck, 1 chicken, 2 turtles, 3 fish, and 1 Madtom (that can sting, and I know this first hand)

1 piano, 1 electric keyboard, 3 guitars, 2 small child guitars, 3 violins, 1 Liberian drum, and a houseful of people that aren't very musically inclined. But we try.

A '94 Honda Civic with over 291,000 miles on it, and gets over 30 mpg.

Winter coats and hats that don't get packed away for the summer, and a furnace that has been turned on in July.

YUCK!


Today I took the kids to McDonalds to buy them ice-cream cones as a bribe for being quiet during a meeting. The young man who handled these cones had what I've diagnosed as Pustular Psoriasis, (but what I've fondly renamed as Pusticular Psoriasis), on his hands. Now I realize this skin condition of white raised bumps is not contagious through contact, (its caused by use of internal medicine or steroids), but I still had to scoop the ice-cream out into cups and throw the cones away.

My second complaint for today, since its Wednesday, is with Facebook (again). I know I've threatened before to ditch Facebook, but I didn't. Instead, I kept on taking their stupid little quizzes - by force, not by choice! So the last little application I participated in was called "Compare People". Which was all fine and dandy when it was me who was doing the comparisons. But today I read what people had said about me, and quite frankly, am CRUSHED! Now I will be the first to admit that I'm not very punctual, nor am I a very hard worker, but not sexy? Not a good dancer? Not Well-Mannered? Not creative?
