Thursday.... i am supposed to pay bills and any correspondence and file this morning...but we had a bit of an emergency with the upcoming boyscout event this weekend that i had to tend to and now i'm running low on time. i love writing this though, so i am procrastinating the bills and stuff. i will get to them b4 i pick up my little one at 11:45....i hope....:) Thursdays are also the days that i devote to: my decorating project (none today); inventions (in the process of trademarking one of the names for the invention and am waiting to hear back from a data search on the name - will look at information today); community involvement (will drop off a few articles and information I have at the chamber of commerce relating to buying local,etc.) and am waiting for PEPSI REFRESH to start up their giving campaign again (April) so I can apply for a grant to donate a small motorized (solar) merry-go-round to our local public space. All money earned would go back to a charity designated by the city..wouldn't that be cute?! whatever happened to the rides outside of grocery stores?!!! kids would love it. (look at all the merry go rounds in public spaces in France)
Today's 15is...................FUN
Since it's St. Patrick's day, i thought it would be fun to pass on some cute jokes to play on your loved ones.....:)
tape clear plastic wrap at eye level on the outside of the kids doorways...it will come right down when they walk into it, but oh! how funny!
see above television screen upsidown joke
something funny on their pillow at night.....an old sock? maybe not...be creative
ok, so i don't have that many.....stay tuned for April Fools Day!
But i do have an interesting story about four leaf clovers. A few years ago, while in an old, antique doll store in Camden, Maine, I came across a small antique book. i love anything small, so i bought it. the book is about a young girl and her grandfather and he is passing on life lessons to her....i just thought it was a cute old book. when i got home and tried to read it to my kids, you'll never guess what we found inside? pressed among the pages were, not one, but TWO PERFECT FOUR LEAF CLOVERS. I couldn't believe our luck!!!! i will post a picture as soon as i figure out how...
Did you know luck is something that you can actually cultivate? log on to one of my favorite blogs by Dr. Christine Carter at www.raisinghappiness.com to find out how.
Apparently having a talisman or good luck charm can actually affect your performance. Just thinking you have good luck and "special" forces on your side, can make a difference.
Personally, I believe in karma, which is kind of like luck...the get what you give kind of philosophy.
things just always seem to come back around.
Since I love science, here is a funny quote about good luck from a Nobel prize winning physicist, lifted from the blog page of Andrej Nabergoj....
An American scientist once visited the offices of the great Nobel prize winning physicist, Niels Bohr, in Copenhagen. He was amazed to find that over Bohr's desk was a horseshoe, securely nailed to the wall, with the open end up in the approved manner (so it would catch the good luck and not let it spill out). The American said with a nervous laugh,
"Surely you don't believe the horseshoe will bring you good luck, do you, Professor Bohr? After all, as a scientist --"
Bohr chuckled. "I believe no such thing, my good friend. Not at all. I am scarcely likely to believe in such foolish nonsense. However, I am told that a horseshoe will bring you good luck whether you believe in it or not."
I also have a few "GOOD TO KNOW"'s while your in the kitchen for you today:
Did you know that you will shed less tears if you cut the root of the onion off last?
If you heat a pan up before putting oil or butter on it, nothing will stick to it...not even eggs.
if you are having trouble with muffins sticking to the bottom of the pan...place the hot muffin tin on a wet towel, the muffins will slide right out!
Ok, go on out there and create some good luck for yourself!!
