Shaded Gray Daybook ~ November 13, 2008

Outside my Window … It is dark - but...according to Lelan Statum...it will be about 65 degrees today and partly sunny.

I am thinking … That some people need to live their own lives and stop trying to glom onto other people's - namely mine. Take care of your own business!!

I am thankful for … My husband - who realized that he hurt my feelings terribly and is so sorry.

From the kitchen … I need to cook something...I haven't cooked in forever.

I am going … Get ready for work...as soon as I finish this.

I am wearing … Jammie pants and a long sleeved shirt - can't wear my tank tops to sleep in any more...it's too cold.

I am reading... A book my sister loaned me - I think it is called Sunset. I like the concept - but I'm only on chapter 3 and they have introduced about 25 characters - I have no idea who is who.

I am hoping... Angela is feeling better - it is no fun to be sick on your birthday.

I am hearing … The news on tv. It's the only time I get to watch the news.

Around the house … We have implimented a new rule - put your dish in the dishwasher and not on the counter or in the sink - it's working sooooo well.

One of my favorite things … My Bible study - I am loving it and the gals in it.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week … Do a little shopping this weekend - not much....you need a lot of money to do a lot of shopping. LOL

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you… This is a pic of the kids from Halloween....I know - I'm a little late.

Mindless Fact Monday ~ November 10, 2008

~ In Budapest, they control the pigeon population by mixing birth control chemicals with the birdseed.

~ In 1890, Pepsi-Cola was invented by Caleb Bradham and was originally called "Brad's Drink".

~ After the U.S. Civil War, almost 50% of all U.S. currency was counterfeit.

~ The Kraft company produces enough Cool Whip in a single year to fill the Grand Canyon.

~ Only 2 countries begin with the letter "D", Denmark and Dominican Republic.

~ There is a large brass statue of Winnie-the-Pooh in Lima, Peru.

Ok - I have looked high and low for a pic of this and cannot find one...but...I have seen this fact listed in several places - so, although I believe this is true - I cannot support it with a pic...which annoys me... :)

~ A Canadian tour company offers a two-day course in igloo building.

~ The IRS employee tax manual has instructions for collection taxes after a nuclear war.

~ Albert Einstein was offered the presidency of Israel in 1952 - but he declined.
