And now for something different: short version

Um, to get back to the nice and positive things, apparently spring is official here, because not only is it past March 21st but I turned green and superheated and had what Cheryl called, “the Death Valley” look from her years working there as a Park Ranger. I was working hard on putting more stuff on ebay and went sort of funny (except less haha). Also had a brain thing which made me go a bit odd, and not be able to talk. I was able to reach out and grab Linda’s boob with the one hand. Linda and Cheryl were happy to see my personality remained the same!

However like any good short sitcom, this has with a happy ending, in that we did all the postcards matched during the week, the new people (no Anon’s took me up on the offer, alas), AND then did another 13 or 16 more. All I know is that it came to 41 I think or 42. And we got that done, thanks to Linda and Cheryl and I guess me as I stayed in bed, which allowed me to work without tiring myself even further. Yes, I didn’t rest but I rested my body so other parts could work for many hours straight. I think that is like ALMOST resting. 41 postcards! Coming to a mailbox near YOU!

Starting tomorrow I am going posting about my shotgun wedding and then an interactive post about ‘which one were you?’ post. I love the
‘which were you’ because so many people change from childhood to adult life and the person who is the type of girl who chucked mud at your head just to see you dance is now the 18th century curator at a museum. And the girl who blackmailed her siblings into doing what she wanted while acting the princess (and they had eyes of rage) is now in change of the bake sale and is well known for her flower garden. While the boy who ran around with his shorts on his head…..still does that during football season. Sorry. I just love the aspect of being the angel of history, to see how people DO change, and also to shake up my own expectations. I hope you had a great weekend!

I look forward to your tale of shot-gun marriage, but am glad you are taking it a little easy rather than sating our curiosity immediately.

Oh--you must have done 42 postcards. Just cuz, you know, the answer is 42.

I guess working in bed is sort of progress! I've been working in bed too - sciatica, nothing dramatic - and my cat has been NO HELP. She likes to SIT on whatever I am doing...

Oh, it is spring isn't it? Doing lots of spring cleaning and not much resting here--some respite from the arthritis pain temporarily (it's there, but not making me totally immobile--well at least half the time). I have been able to be on my feet a little more.

Looking forward to the new posts when you have time--very curious about them.

Shotgun marriage. I can't wait!

Is it still spring over there? I ask because spring has once agail fled from the peninsula and they are talking some snow again.

The working from bed went well. I think you should do that more often.

I am also looking forward to your next posts.

Apparently, the lecherous side of the personality is nicely distributed all over the brain and not affected by any brain things. Good to know!

Did the happy ending include you being able to talk again?

Now about that shotgun marriage thing... Sounds fascinating!

The which one are you should be fun. Going back to your previous post, I did want to say a few things. I am by nature and life's experiences one of the world most skeptical and un trusting people. That being said, I trust you, and I can count on one hand the people I have trusted in this lifetime (2 are my children). I believe you are who you say you are. Of course you know this already.

Shotgun wedding, hrm? That could be interesting.

41 postcards. I thought you said something about not doing as many at a time? Or are you trying to get ahead, for when you go to BG?

Yanub: Not taking it easy, done, now but with less sex than you may want. Yes, the answer is always 42!

Jane B: Good, I am in cat envy, though I can see having cat butt marks on every academic paper is a downside

Fridawrites: The first one is up, the second Linda says needs to be two or three posts. So I will be busy from bed this week.

I know you are doing what 'must be done' but please take care, you only have one body and when this one stops working, um, well you just have to wait till it starts again.

Dawn: I have obliged!

Cheryl: Snow again - ack! No, no, I want spring, only without the overheating.

Lene: Yes, I think it is in left brain, right brain and frontal lobe, because I am ambidexterious in boob grabbing, so it is on both sides of the brain!

Yes, Eventually after a nap, part of my face sort of lined up with the other.

Shea: Yes, I am looking forward to doing that too because I learn about myself and others too - it is very fun. I have to collect all the pictures but that is almost done. So it should be next, after this brief marriage...

Oh, well, I believe I am who I am...does that help?

Raccoon: That was less, wasn't it? Or did I get mixed up, was it supposed to be 14 and I didn't do the right amount? No, I am actually thinking the week of BG I could do the WHOLE LIST - that way I don't have to think about all the changes in my life - ack!
