A Tale Of Two Park Benches

Photography | Posted by Jannie on 31 August 2010 @ 10:39 PM (38) Comments

Dearest Lovely Peeps,

Howdy!

Kelly started back to school yesterday.

And I returned to My Bench after a long summer away.

Remember My Bench last winter?

Bench_love_end_of_winter

But enough of the past!

This morning I sashayed a full 20 minutes along the trail, coffee in hand, fully clothed – then took off my shirt at Lou Neff Point. It was hot already at 8:30!

(Don’t worry — I was wearing my sports bra, of course.)

(My stretch pants did have a big hole in the rear, but I’m pretty-sure no one noticed.)

The sun was shining directly on My Bench (I try to avoid UVs) so I did my exercises on a shadier bench across the way, let’s dub it my Buttocks Bench. Or my “Morning Bench.”

Buttocks-Bench

After 10 minutes of buttocks tucks, sit-ups, leg lifts and such, I arranged my shirt and sunglasses on My old Bench, now called my ”Afternoon Bench,” to take these pix for you with my iPhone.

(I tye-dyed that shirt myself last winter at Kalyani’s. Not bad for a first go I think.)

A minute later, back on the trail (long tee on again) I captured these swans for you.

I LOVE our hike and bike trail!!

Can’t wait to get back there tomorrow after I drop Kelly at school.

Then maybe go shopping for some new stretch pants.

Outside An Ice Skating Rink Yesterday

The Pea | Posted by Jannie on 29 August 2010 @ 8:27 AM (34) Comments

What a blessing I forgot Kung Fu was canceled yesterday!

That gave us an hour to kill before a birthday party, during which I was treated to a most enchanting concert…

[As I mentioned to Daisy, the volume seems better via headphones, hope you all can hear her fine!]

Somewhere Down The Lacy River — Funny Typos 18

Funny Typos, Just Good Stuff | Posted by Jannie on 24 August 2010 @ 4:14 PM (45) Comments

1. My favorite part of the waterpark is always the lacy river.

2. Is fertilizer made from pants or is it somehow synthesized from oil?

3. Getting rid of that beat-up old venetian window blond was a good way to go.

4. Thank you SO much for singing our Endometriosis Petition!

[Speaking of singing, look for me doing that here on video, Sept. 6th. One of my new songs!]

[There will also be a give-away post here on Sept 22nd on my blog's 2nd anniversary -- for 5 poetry books, 3 of my "I Need A Man" Cds, and 3 hand-written letters from me on gorgeous stationery with amazingly beautiful stamps!]

5. With art, I say go ahead and put all your eggs in one gasket!

6.  I’m impressed how you always jump through hops to post such captivating pix for us!

[And this picture shows hops.  I had NO IDEA what hops plants looked like or that they grew so tall -- which is kinda strange, me being a beer lover and all.  Did YOU know what hops looked like?]

7.  The July 4th firewords went on for well over an hour.

8.  I can now post photos up to 790 px wide because I’ve slimed my sidebar down to 150px!

9.  Learning to play a new song on guitar AND sing at the same time almost always gets my brian twisted up.

(Of course, he’s EVERYbody’s brian. I mean Brian, an awesome blogging poet and friend to so many!)

10.  Well, gotta go now to make a new sidebar button to kink up another fine blog!

P.S.  At Funsterment Global Inc.’s annual meeting last week, the Board voted unanimously to start posting these typos when 10 are reached, instead of making the world wait for a full 20.

10 Great Mysteries of The Universe, 3

Mysteries | Posted by Jannie on 22 August 2010 @ 3:13 PM (49) Comments

chicken-soup-with-spoongorgeous yummies photo by: Romancing The Stove Blog

1.  Is chicken soup good for the soul of the chicken it came from?

2.  Will there ever be a sleeping bag zipper that doesn’t break the first night?

3.  Why does my child only ever want milk when we’ve just run out?

4.  Why does my (wonderful, handsome, dear) husband step on the carpet to gauge if his shoes are too muddy to be stepping on it?

5.  Why do we keep buying Slinkies when we all know Slinkies end up in a tangle within the first 5 minutes?

6.  Why is it only ever in “the middle of the night” we wake up suddenly, instead of, say … 1/3 or 7/8 or 15/16 of the way through the night?

7.  Why are public restrooms only ever being cleaned when you really, really, really REALLY have to go?

8.  Why DO we call a restroom a “rest” room?

9.  Will Spongebob ever get his boating license?

1o. If I listen to my “Deep Sleep” music while driving, will I nod off?

Just wondering.
