Music

I am always curious about what all those people at the health and wellness center with the earphones in their ears are listening to. It is my belief that one can really tell a lot about another person by the music they listen to. That being said, there are now 46 songs on my Ipod and these are the artists:

Aretha Franklin
The Beatles
Bee Gees
Bette Middler
Elvis Presley
The Four Tops
Garth Brooks
The Impressions
The Isley Brothers
Janis Joplin
Jimmy Buffett
Josh Groban
The Judds
LeeAnn Rimes
Liza Minnelli
The Lovin' Spoonful
Mark Chesnutt
Martha Reeves
Marvin Gaye
Michael Crawford
Michael Jackson
Michael W. Smith
Smokey Robinson
Three Dog Night
Vanilla Ice
Now, judging from this list, I am not at all sure I would be able to tell anything about me if I didn't KNOW ME!

Things that make you go, "Huuummmm"!!!!

Can atheists get insurance for acts of God?

If man evolved from monkeys and apes, why are there still monkeys and apes?

Why do they sterilize the needle for a lethal injection?

If the #2 pencil is the most popular, why is it #2?

The problem with the gene pool is that there is no lifeguard!

If swimming is so good for your figure, how do you explain whales?

When it rains, why don't sheep shrink?

Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?

WOOHOOOOO! I GOT IT!!!

A mini-ipod, that is!!!! I have wanted one of these gizmos for months now and I finally broke down and spent the $200 bucks. I have been playing with the thing for hours now and finally have some awesome music downloaded on it ready to go to the gym tomorrow. My tastes are so varied that I have music on it from Michael Jackson (I know, I know, but the guy can sing!!), LeAnn Rimes, Beatles, Elvis, Phantom of the Opera, Garth Brooks, Tracy Chapman, Bob Marley, Jimmy Buffet, Barbra Streisand (I hate her politics, but I like her voice....as long as it's singing and not pontificating on stuff she isn't qualified to pontificate on!) and Mark Chesnutt. Tomorrow I will add others from CD's that are in the car. I didn't want to go get them out tonight. I can tell already that I REALLY like this gadget. Hey, Queen Elizabeth has an Ipod, so why shouldn't I? I wonder what she listens to......Queen, perhaps, or maybe Prince!

HELLLLLOOOOO!

Imagine my surprise when I walked downstairs this morning about 9 and noticed the wall of the bathroom knocked completely in and crap all over the floor. Stuff was knocked off the walls and the heavy plug for the phone recharger was knocked completely out of the opposite wall. I started to walk outside and look at the outside, but the front door would not open. The entire wall had moved enough to jam the door. The big question is, "Why didn't I hear this?" I guess someone could come in and remove everything downstairs and I wouldn't hear it. The reason is that I have a ceiling fan and another fan going at all times. They work REALLY well at drowning out noises! I didn't know how well they did work until last night. Right now everything has been removed from the bathroom and we are waiting for the insurance adjuster to show up. Police have already been. Looks like someone who had obviously had a little too much to drink tried to back their truck into the parking area by my apartment. Apparently, there was a trailor hitch on the truck that did the most damage. What am I thinking!!! Of course, there was a trailor hitch....this is, after all, TEXAS!!! There could possibly be some good to come out of this. I may actually get a new floor, which I have asked for many times before. I should have gone in there with a sledge hammer and done some more damage before I informed management and they came to take pictures!!

Yoga

I just returned from my very first yoga session. I am absolutely relaxed and feel very flexible. I think this is going to be something that I really like. Four days a week I still go to the health and wellness center for cardio and resistance training, but this is something so totally different. The sessions are twice a week for one hour each, but I think I will be doing this some at home as well. My fitness center offers Gentle Yoga, but they offer it at 7:15 AM. I'm not sure how "gentle" anything is at that hour!! Maybe when I really get into it, I will get up and go to that class as well. This one goes through July. I have wanted to try yoga for a long time and just happened to learn that the local college was offering it at a reasonable time and fee. I'm very glad I found this class!! Fortunately, there are no young cheerleader types in there to show us all up and intimidate us with their flexibility!

LAME MOVIE!!!

Madagascar

Cute movie!

Kidnapped!

Sitting home eating a bowl of watermelon and minding my own business at 9:30 last night.......when bang,bang,bang on the door and people yelling, "Sandra, Sandra, come out and go with us!" I didn't recognize the voices, but they knew my name so I assumed it was alright to answer the door. Much to my surprise, there were 3 ladies in their pajamas....Robin, Amanda, and Michelle....all former co-workers (young co-workers) to get me to go back with them just down the street to a bachelorette party for Delisa.....another former co-worker. I went and had a great time. It's been a long time since I have done something like that......OK....not so long. Just a few weeks ago I hooked up with some other old friends and went out. Seems strange after all these years. I am ALWAYS the oldest one there. I guess all the others my age are home in bed! That's probably where I should be, but I totally enjoyed the evenings.

Good Explanation!

A man went to a barbershop to have his haircut and his beard trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. They talked about so many things and various subjects. When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said: "I don't believe that God exists."

"Why do you say that?" asked the customer. "Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can't imagine a loving a God who would allow all of these things."

The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument. The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and unkempt. The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber: "You know what? Barbers do not exist."

"How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber. "I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!" "No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside." "Ah, but barbers DO exist! What happens is, people do not come to me."

"Exactly!"- affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God, too, DOES exist! What happens, is, people don't go to Him and do not look for Him. That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."
