"As we grow older and realize more clearly the limitations of human happiness, we come to see that the only real and abiding pleasure in life is to give pleasure to other people." -P.G. Wodehouse Previous Thursday's Thoughts!

I have butterflies in my stomach right now. One minute I feel queasy the next it feels so good. I know you guys can tell by now that I’m a “feelly” kind of person, right? I have a good reason for all of these feelings though. Some really, really exciting news….I’ve decided to go back to School!! I know, I know it’s happening all so fast but I did it. It’s been well over 10 years since I’ve been a student. I’m very nervous but looking forward to the new challenge. To top it off D. will be joining me on this journey as well; we both started our first class today, Personal Dimensions of Education. We are taking the same course but we are not in the same class. I just turned in my first assignment today which was to post my introduction to my instructor and classmates. That was the first step. Now all I have to do is keep putting one foot in front of the other until I’ve reached my goal. I talked to a good friend of mine today who just graduated himself. He gave me some good advice ...

Isn’t it nice to meet someone that you instantly connect with? Someone that you have so much in common with that you feel you’ve known them all of your life? It’s truly a blessing when you find someone special like that who embraces you with love and support right from the start. I recently had the pleasure of meeting such a person. We talk on the phone almost every day. We laugh, giggle about silly stuff, it just feels good being a girlie girl with her. She’s been there for me during this time of transition and I’ve really appreciated her support and encouragement. She’s the kind of person you’d want by your side anytime. The special lady that I'm talking about is Donna, aka Queen Pandora!! If you like Gumbo (and even if you don't) she's cooking up a mean pot of some good ‘ole gumbo and has plenty to offer. She’s just begun this journey of blogging and is so excited about it, shouldn’t she be? What better way for a person to express who they are and what they love...

I’ve been trying to find some mental strength to sit and write but the words haven’t come until now. I’m sitting here looking out the window enjoying the cool breeze. Fall is coming, one of my favorite times of the year. This will be the last time I get to enjoy this view. I’m in the process of moving. There are boxes everywhere; loose ends of little things laying around that make it appear that you have some much stuff. Where did I fit it all, Is the question that has been plaguing my mind?? The truck is almost packed, I’m not sure how we are going to fit everything’s that left, but we’ll find a way. The kids are happy! That’s what matters the most. Between D. and me we are exhausted, exhausted, exhausted! If we slow down too long there’s a chance we’d end up falling asleep wherever we are, that includes standing up leaning on one elbow on the kitchen counter….lol, (true story). We are looking forward to getting settled into our new place. OK, that’s it for now. I’m going to get some ...

I came across a very intriguing piece written by Yvonne K. Fulbright on the FoxNews website the other day, and just had to share it with you! Some of these "hazards" of sex are pretty amusing, some made me say hmmm, while there were a couple that I could definitely relate to. Do you have any special cures or precautions for hazardous sexual activity? The Hazards of Too Much Sex You can never have too much of a good thing, right? I used to think that when it came to sex. What harm is there in luxuriating in a lot of loving? Then I learned that an overly zealous sexfest can indeed have you walking more than a little funny. Fascinated, I looked into the matter, only to find that too much sex in a short period of time can do a lot more than bench you for a couple of days. It can, in fact, put you out of commission for a while if you’re not smart about your sex play. So how can you avoid injury when caught up in a bout of excessive sexual desire? First, l...
