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.

1. Charged my video camera.
2. Cut up 33 paper shopping bags to use as wrapping for books I’ll be mailing eventually.
3. E-Mailed my interview answers to wonderful Lori.
4. Got my Friday 55 all ready for this week — a 55 not only FOR – but ABOUT the G-Man, whoo-hoo! (Oooo, the intrigue.) [Edit, the G-Man posts his 55 on Thursdays at 8:00 p.m. MICHIGAN time!]
5. Fed The Child at least a couple, often three times, daily.
6. Had The Child take a bath.
7. Took The Child to the Lake a few times. (We live not far from the park pictured above.)
8. Took The Child back to Kung Fu and Gymnastics, first time since what happened to her arm on May 1st.
9. Worked a few hours at Jim’s office. I shall rejoin him there one or two afternoons a week, as in the Olden Daze. (I actually worked with him full-time before The Child arrived – if you can call zipping out for 3-hour tuna-melt coffee lunches to sit and write songs and poems working fulltime…) (Sleeping with Being married to the boss does have its perks!)
10. Was off Internet for a whole 3 hours in a row. While I was awake!!
11. Finally chucked my duct-taped $1 flipflops in the trash.
12. Followed a bunch of gals on BlogFrog – and many are following back — whoo-hoo! Now what?
13. Tweeted once. Maybe twice!
14. Sat with metronome and guitar. Think 130 beats per minute is it for “Sail A Child.” (And you thought it would be a draggy tune!) 
15. Ran into Ryan at Kalyani’s moving day this past Sunday and he’ll be in the recording studio with me in a couple weeks! Piano on “Sail A Child” would be beautiful, especially Ryan’s piano. That guy is a musical gift to the world!
16. Dabbled a bit more on the third verse of “Sail A Child,” trusting a couple lines even more magical than what I had before will soon unfold like silk scarves waving bye from the deck of a yacht bound from New York ’round the globe.
17. Read and commented on a whole dozen or so blogs!!
18. Answered almost all my comments on my last post. And am looking forward to answering the remaining sweet ones.
19. (whoops — 19, not 18.) Finally assembled the 14″ Smokey Joe grill we bought back in February. Eatin’ steak tonight, Baby!! And it’s almost ready, whoo-hoo! So to it!!
And you may NOT comment here unless you tell me at least one amazing thing you’ve done in the past 24 hours — and preferably more than one, because you my friend, are AWESOME, and made of love and light.

Just a favorite shot from a dress-up party she went to when she was four.
Birthday girl (in black and purple) was turning five.

(Oh, if you’re new here, mine’s in the white lace gown. )
Hey, the tiaras remind me of Lance?! Remember how he, the Grand Prize Winner of my tagline contest, looked about a year ago?!!
Good times, people, good times.
Like these times!
Like now.

Just Good Stuff, Poetry | Posted by Jannie on 7 July 2010 @ 11:51 AM
Today I am not
the dust in my corners,
the shutters unpainted,
the stashes of clean but
disorganized clothing,
the birthday present
unbought and unsent,
or the cleverly stacked
dirty dishes in my sink.
Today I am not the worry
of the oil gushing
or the worry of government lies,
or the worry of any lie or of any stupid thing I’ve ever said or done in the past.
Today I am not also the worry of
the audio cassette still unfound.
It will show up, shining.
(Probably when I’m getting to the dust!)
Today, I’m not going to the ocean
where we stood in awe when she was four.
But I AM going to a leafy place
with my favorite girl in the world,
where a clean river’s flowing,
children will be laughing
and Suzie and I will ease our
pleasant ongoing conversation
into the heart and soul of the day
– maybe even until dusk if I get off
this computer and do those
dishes to make things look nice
for Jim when he gets home
so he won’t be too mad, especially
since those shutters need painting.
Today, Suzie, our girls and I
will go get something good to eat!
Maybe Hut’s?
Maybe Chuy’s?
I have good sunscreen and
and a relatively un-hideous swimsuit
to greet the perfection of the day with.
(end of poem)
So, I better get my stuff together!
Clothes, umbrella, suits, towels, hats.
Get those ribs in the mic.
Do the dishes, while singing.
And a little dancing!
Find the little cooler.
Maybe even wash my face before sunscreen.
:)
(end of other poem that sprang up.)
[Above photo: Jim, Kelly on a California Beach, Sept 2005. I think maybe Laguna? Dana Point?]

(I still have comments to answer from my last 2 posts. I’ll enjoy getting to those later!!)
I may go crazy, and not get back to a computer until tomorrow a.m.
(But I will slip in here to read comments from my iPhone!)
Can you say Internet Addicted, boys and girls?
I do love getting your sweet comments!
ox
agin.
Shoot, need to buttonize that — hang on…
Ahhh, now life is complete.
Well, it will be complete once I get BB with his sandcastle back up, and put the blue water back along the sides!
THEN do the dishes.
xoxo
again.

Hey festively free and frolicking friends.
I’m not sure if I’ll be adding any more words to this post or not. The night is young and so am I — who knows how this post could morph?
Just want to get this up to say Happy Fourth Of July.
I love all you guys. So much!
And have a sweet-loving day!
Jannie

Oh yeah, Kelly above at age 3 with one of her little buddies from pre-school.
