Ramblings of Silver Blue

A travel agent looked up from his desk to see an older lady and an older gentleman peering in the shop window at the posters showing the glamorous destinations around the world.

23 Questions from LeeAnn 1: Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, find line 4.

From BBallDude: A woman pregnant with triplets is walking down the street when a masked robber runs out the bank and shoots her three times in the stomach. Luckily the babies are okay.

Tonight’s a Tenebre Service (a combination of Maundy Thursday and Good Friday services) at the Church. I’m going, not becuase I feel compelled or because I feel it’s expected of me, but becuase I find it spiritually moving. That, in itsself, is reason enough to, after a long day, haul my butt to Church. The [...]

A defendant in a lawsuit involving large sums of money was talking to his lawyer. ‘If I lose this case, I’ll be ruined.’ ‘It’s in the judge’s hands now,’ said the lawyer. ‘Would it help if I sent the judge a box of cigars?’ ‘Oh no! This judge is a stickler or ethical behavior. A [...]

I watered the plants last night, so of course mother nature was going to see fit to rain. Just like when you wash your car. Well, the plants can use the rain; with it being spring, everything needs a good watering. Just keep the hurricanes away from here, mmmkay?

Spring has arrived. Even Teddy Bears get warm. Nite.

Get your mind out of the gutter and read carefully. I said PLANTIES, not PANTIES. Besides, why would panties drink? On second thought, don’t answer that. After work, I went to Lowe’s and threw caution (and $150) to the wind, and ended up with an awesome 100′ hose, ferris wheel for said hose, soaker/sprayer/plant water [...]

Rejected Title: Better living through not giving a damn. Sometimes I wish I had a prescription for happy pills — being depressed is no fun, and no one wants to come by a blog and read something that gets them down as well. SO…today being Tuesday, and “special” day at our local Bojangle’s, I may [...]

I used to own these roses, but they (thanks to the lawn care service) were killed. The Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Rose and The “Gemini” Rose. Both are patented by Jackson and Perkins. I’d also LOVE to replace the following rose which died: Charisma 1978 AARS Winner. Introduced by the E. G Hill Company [...]

Quiz “borrowed” from LeeAnn.

I’m a bit bitter this afternoon. Lots of reasons. Lots of people irritating me, and no place to hide bodies. Was hoping for a better day, but guess the powers that be heard that as a “bitter day” and supplied in abundance. Gas prices went up 3 cents from this morning, so more of my [...]

At least I think it’s the first day of spring. I can’t keep up with National Day of this, Annual Holiday of That, and since the Equinoxes and Solstices don’t remain constant (much like the Easter holiday), I never can keep them straight.
