The Aging Process...Ain't It Fun?

Signs I'm Getting Older...

1. I spent this afternoon running errands and became so engrossed in the conversation I was having with myself, that I ended up two blocks from home before I realized I was supposed to be going back to work.

2. Yesterday I wanted to take a nap at 10:00 a.m.

3. Lately I have started *grunting* when I get out a chair...*groaning* when I get up from a lying position...and *sighing* when I have to go back for what I forgot...

4. "that'll give me indigestion", "turn it down!", and "what'd you say?" have become my new catch phrases.

5. I've begun comparison shopping for fiber suppliments.

6. I want my bathroom remodel to include one of those tubs with a door.

7. My pink duster/muumuu has suddenly become "too flashy".

8. I bought a pair of navy knee-hi's last week.

9. While in a hospital waiting room a few weeks ago, I asked the receptionist if it was okay if I turned up "Matlock".

10. I've already forgotten what I wrote for #1

Psalm 67

Psalm 67

May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face to shine upon us.

that your way may be known on earth, your saving power among all nations.

Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you!

Let the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you judge the peoples with equity and guide the nations upon earth.

Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you!

The earth has yielded its increase; God, our God, shall bless us.

God shall bless us; let all the ends of the earth fear him!

Loose Ends No.1 Vol. 21

Our kitchen table is piled up with clothes, blankets, pillows, toiletries, books and one stuffed penguin named Ping...Kaitlin is packing up to go back to school...her Christmas break went by too quickly...

Taryn had her wisdom teeth pulled yesterday...ice packs and mashed potatoes have become her new best friends...I did have to take the little silver bell away from her after she rang it for 45 minutes nonstop...

Hayden saved up his allowance and is buying a ukelele today...it's shaped like a pineapple...he asked me yesterday if I knew the words to "Tiny Bubbles".

Our Bassett hound, Daisy, also had surgery this week (she gets lumps...no one can explain it, not even the vet...*sigh*) She has a couple of places shaved and stitched...Kaitlin said we'll tell everyone she got into a fight and "you should have seen the other dog"...I don't think that will fly though, considering she jumps when the refrigerator door opens...
