Random Tuesday Thoughts

A few years back, my brother was in a bad motorcycle accident. He was in the hospital for a long time. He’s OK now…that’s not the story I’m going to tell today. But he is the reason that my mother, who lived 350 miles away from us, practically lived with me for a while.

One day, I was watering my fern. I noticed that the soil seemed to be awfully damp for a fern that was usually neglected. Then I noticed that the saucer under the pot was filled to the brim with liquid that was about to overflow. I knew who the culprit was; Mom had been pouring this:

into this:

Now, ferns do love coffee, but my fern was DROWNING, poor thing!

Random Tuesday Thoughts: I’m Getting Bella Cullen’s Mail

Whenever I read different ways to increase your blog traffic, I always read that Mondays are the biggest day for blogs. However, Keely has rocked the blog world and made Tuesdays the biggest day for blogs!

Last weekend, we ordered Chinese for takeout. One of the fortunes read, “Skill comes from diligence.” That makes sense; the more you work at something, the better you become at it. Right?

The fortune cookie factory workers? And why am I on their minds? Freaky!

Did you know when you make corn bread in a pan, it’s also called Johnny Cake? That’s what my Jiffy corn muffin mix box is telling me, anyway. So being the geek that I am, I had to look it up. What do you know…I found a site called WiseGeek, just for me! Johnny cakes are actually more like cornmeal pancakes than corn bread. Aren’t you glad I’m geeky?

We received a letter yesterday for Bella Cullen. I’ve never read Twilight, but I thought this name sounded familar. The letter is from People to People Student Ambassador Program. Do you think there’s really a teen out there with the name Bella Cullen, or someone filled out a form as a prank?

If Bella Cullen really exists, I bet she’s the most popular girl in her class!
