GESUNDHEIT

 

There, I've gone and looked up the spelling!  And, to soothe the curious mind, I offer the following tidbit:

 

Definition of God bless you

 

God bless you:  Interjection used especially when someone has sneezed. In this situation, "God bless you" is more or less equivalent to saying "Gesundheit."  In German "Gesundheit" means "health" (and "sanity"). Wishing "good health" was once thought to hold off the illness that might follow a sneeze.  "God bless you" came into usage to prevent the escape of the soul from the body, which was thought to occur with a sneeze. (Soullessness was believed to cause ill health.)

 

Now, pupils, close your books and take out a sheet of paper.  Just kidding.  So, has anyone seen my SOUL?  I seem to have misplaced it.  Ha Ha.  Next subject.

 

My entire family has gone to lifegroup this evening and I am home "resting."  Maybe tomorrow I'll be back to my old self.  Next subject.

 

You know, I really love oxygen.  In fact, I'm a big fan of breathing.  It's my #1 favorite pastime.  You don't really know what you've got til it's gone.  I thought of a new invention one night while waking up, gasping for breath.  I would like to take two drinking straws and shove one up each nostril, past the septum and well into my sinus cavities.  Make it a neon, bendy straw.  Forget the breathe right strips, vaporizer, menthol, saline, steroids and pseudoephedrine.  That's for wimps.  Let's get some O2 into this girl, STAT!

 

Having said ALL that, now you know that I will let nothing stand in the way of my favorite activity.  Honestly, the only ONLY thing that works when I get a cold is sudafed and lots of it.  Which is GREAT for breathing but leaves me drooling, growling and snarling at anything that passes.  What REALLY cracks me up is when I have to go buy more.  BOY -- do they have that stuff on lockdown or what?  I mean I sorta feel like I'm pulling my car up to the corner and rolling down the window.  Looking both ways for cops, etc.  The problem is I usually have all my kids with me so it's worse -- I'm like the CRACK mama bringing all her babies to score some.  Of course it doesn't help that I have bloodshot eyes, dry cracked skin, red runny nose, no makeup AAAAHHH.  Next subject.

 

Just so you all know, the one day when all my kids behaved in public was a total fluke.  The following day was crazy.  ALTHOUGH, I just remembered that they did really well when we took Ava in for her 3 year appointment.  We're going to have her hearing tested and then possibly a speech evaluation to help determine if there is an issue.  She's still very very frustrated when trying to communicate.  I was a little down about that, but I'd rather get her whatever she needs so she can be the fabulous grownup she will become someday.  She'll probably be involved in public speaking or something with a twist. : )  Aahh!  Now there's my sunny disposition.  I wondered where it was.    (gosh, I really like the winky guy the best.  I just realized that I never use any other emot-icons)  Next subject.

 

OK, I'm bummed that my husband's bowl didn't sell -- but we had 55 visitors which made him feel good and one question and even one watcher.  OOHH a watcher!  My hunny is SO talented with the bowl making.  It's amazing, really.  He likes to point out all the flaws and I always turn and say "Hun, this used to be a TREE and now it's a BOWL!"  He has some of his stuff on display around town, but I know it would make his day to sell them consistently.  We may try a 35-45 price range on some of his small pieces and see what the interest would be. 

 

Oh man, I better go lay down.  This wore me out! (seriously, don't give me that look!)

 

Later.

You are so funny.
Hope you are feeling better - I was one of those "lookers" at your husband's bowl. Loved it! I am drawn to handmade things...so keep listing his stuff, ya never know!
We were at the eye dr. yesterday and the receptionist asked me if I'd threatened my kids to behave, 'cause they were being soooo good --- I replied, "No ma'am, they're just that way" and smiled to my self, knowing that if I said that enough times, out loud, then it's bound to be true! ha.
Blessings, Lisa
