Thankful Thursday

I know I usually put a list of things here. But today it is one

(it was amazing....better than expected)

Favorite Friday - Boe

Look at that face

Is she not the most beautiful little girl you have ever seen?

It is a well known fact that only recently have I started...well.....liking kids. I am an only child and I grew up with adults. Kids made me nervous...like they could see into my soul.

So I stuck with puppies

But lately, with the help of this precious girl, and these precious ones, and this little chunk, and the cutie pictured above, I find myself saying...."I want one".

Tiny Miss here (not to be confused with Miss and Little Miss) is the lovliest, smartest, funniest, cuddliest little love ever. I am so lucky I get to be her second cousin (seriously..am I even realted to her? Second cousin, FAVORITE second cousin)

So Boe this Friday is dedicated to you. I will make sure you go to Disney World.

What is your definition?

I find it interesting sometimes how skewed peoples perspective of themselves are. I mean some people think that they have a base of kindness and love when in fact inside they seethe with anger and fear. Because of this they hold others to their skewed view. Expecting things that they themselves do not do.

So what is you definition of social graces and kindness? Is it please and thank you? Is the yes sir yes ma'am? Is it mother may I? Is it boldly expressing your opinion on things that mean the world to you? Is it hiding behind hurtful words in the wee hours of the morning? Is it yelling at people behind a closed door? Is it being passive-aggressive? Is it looking down on others while buzzing on an intercom? Is it ignoring people, is it holding a grudge, is it expecting things of people that are not possible? And most importantly......is it treating people with a pseudo respect all the while thinking you are better because your thoughts matter and the rest of the world is not smart enough or open minded enough to understand.

I think it is interesting that every person has a different opinion of kindness. I have been treated cruelly by those who think they are generally nice and polite. I have also done the same. Been cruel and hurtful....all while touting that I try my hardest to be nice. But I have NEVER felt that I was the only nice girl and others were cruel because they were different or handled things in a different manner.

I only hope I can cement my definition and live by it.

Favorite Friday - Waiting for Guffman

Ok...give me a minute to recover because even the movie cover makes me laugh

This movie is pure genius. Some may argue that Spinal Tap is better...but it is not

If you follow Christopher Guest films then you know...this is his best

I will give you five reasons:

Parker Posey

The main characters name is Corky

It's a mockumentary

The best use of swear words I have ever seen

Corky wears his pants backwards like Kriss Kross

Seriously...I own it. You can borrow it.

And so Waiting for Guffman today is dedicated to you

(and your ass face)
