This is a complex way of saying....Thoughts equal things!!

I hope it's a fantastic day for everyone!

Hunk-a-Monday

In honor of the Super Bowl I did a search for "footbal hunks" and this is what turned up. Not sure who the guy with the ripped jeans is, he might be a football player. I don't know. What I do know...he was definitely worth posting today!! LOL







I hope it's a fantastic start to a fantastic week!!
Peace and love,

What I'm Reading...

Well, I'm still reading book #3 in the Stephanie Plum series, but other than that, Nada. I'm really trying to focus on my writing, which means less time spent reading. I allow myself a little reading time in the evenings, IF I've met my writing goals.

LOL...the fact that I've been reading this book for a while now, tells you I'm doing very good at meeting those goals. But that's okay, I'm chipping away at them.

On a high note - the Bud Shootout - the first race (although it's a non-points race) of the new NASCAR season is Saturday night! Woo-hoo!! It's been a long 2 1/2 months without my racin'!!

I hope it's a fantastic weekend for everyone!!
Much peace and love,

My iPod

I realized something yesterday...my obession with Australians began waaayyyy before I discovered Rick Springfield. It began when I was about ten and I developed my first crush.











I might have been very, very young - and I was also extremely naive, but I knew Shadow Dancing with Andy Gibb would be an awesome thing!!!


This video isn't of a very popular song, but it has some great pics...if anyone wants to relive their childhood! LOL



This is an interesting interview, if anyone is interested in seeing the personal side of him.


Such a shame he wasn't able to stay in this positive, happy place. He was such a wonderful entertainer. :(

I do have a few Bee-Gees' songs too - Saturday Night Live tracks - but they just aren't as great to look at as Andy is, so I'll skip them.

Have a great day!
Peace and love,

A DEA officer stops at a ranch in Texas, and talks with an old rancher. He tells the rancher, "I need to inspect your ranch for illegally grown drugs." The rancher says, "Okay , but do not go in that field over there," as he points out the location.




The DEA officer verbally explodes saying, "Mister, I have the authority of the Federal Government with me."

Reaching into his rear pants pocket, he removes his badge and proudly displays it to the rancher. "See this badge? This badge means I am allowed to go wherever I wish.... On any land. No questions asked or answers given. Have I made myself clear? Do you understand?"

The rancher nods politely, apologizes, and goes about his chores.

A short time later, the old rancher hears loud screams and sees the DEA officer running for his life chased by the rancher's big Santa Gertrudis bull......












With every step the bull is gaining ground on the officer, and it seems likely that he'll get gored before he reaches safety. The officer is clearly terrified. The rancher throws down his tools, runs to the fence and yells at the top of his lungs.....

"Your badge. Show him your BADGE!"

Wishing you much happiness on this Hump Day!
Peace and Love,

I have been working really hard on this for the past month. My husband has commented on how much happier I seem, and I feel happier. Less stressed and grumpy. It's nice to have him recognize (and reinforce) what I've been noticing myself.

I hope it's a great day for everyone!

Brrr..Monday

Well, it was an interesting weekend. It began snowing Friday evening and we got about 1-2". Then it started sleeting Saturday morning, and after several hours of sleet it switched over to freezing rain.

Hopefully, these guys will help warm things up!!









If it's still icy and snowy where you are, be safe traveling in it!!

Have a great Monday!
Peace and love,
Alannah
