Fun Monday - Wednesday Edition...

Ok, so I've been a slacker this week and haven't yet posted my Fun Monday... Actually, I did Think about it on Monday morning (yeah right... it's NOT morning until the sun has actually risen! Ack!) as I was driving in to work to do a fundraiser for Women's Services (We sold over $400 in goodies BTW). I thought about it on Sunday afternoon as well after my 4 hour nap after work and while mixing cookies, dipping marshmallows and while slicing and bagging a yummy pound cake getting ready for the bake sale on Monday. Then there was today... I REALLY Wanted to post, but the booty said it wasn't budging off the couch -until it took me off back to the bed for a good nap before work tonight. Hey... sometimes you just gotta do what the booty wants. LOL! So, now it's 11:58 pm, I'm sitting at work and trying to take time to give y'all a few quotes that I live by.

Thanks to Robin for hosting this week! Y'all, She's Freekin Hi-Larious, AND She's gonna get to meet Paula, the Family, and Phil the webmaster over in HotLanta soon! I'm Soooo Jealous! Anyhoo... trip on over and give her a read if she's not already on your list of Have To Reads... she will be on it soon I promise!

So, Robin says, "Your favorite "words of inspiration" might just be THE thing someone needs to hear"

These are quotes that have carried me through life as I live it from the people that I care for the most.

"Now if So-in-So jumped off a cliff would you?" - A favorite in my family. I got told this ALOT when I forgot I had a brain and didn't use it to follow my own path instead of being a Lemming.

"I brought you into this world, and I'll gladly take you out!" - A favorite of Mama's when she was really angry with me. I tried to counter it at times to my detriment... well, to that of my booty anyway. :o) (should Not have listened to the booty those times for sure!)

"Girls should never call boys... It'll give you a bad reputation" - Another from Mama... I did sneak around and do it, and the rep remains fairly stable. :)

"You can do anything you set your mind to, but you have to stay in school to do it!" - Both of my parents always pushed the stay in school motto, not that they were ever worried that I wouldn't stay in school, but they definitely wanted me to do more than they were able to.

"Can't never could do nothing" - I heard this every time I tried to say I couldn't do something or that something was too hard and wanted to give up.

Here's one that I don't think Hubby will EVER forget hearing from my lovely little MawMaw the first time he met her... "You know, you can get yourself fixed so y'all won't have babies if you want to." I guess this was her answer to the "pill"... heck, we weren't even thinking about gettin nekkid at this point! We'd only been on 3 dates! LOL!

"We help because we Want to, not because they're cute" - I said this one to Hubby when he was helping out with a couple of classes at school after he graduated from Culinard. He was telling me about this cute gal that he was helping and how she just couldn't get it right. He must have said Cute one too many times for my liking, but, like the "raise your hand" thing, it stuck like glue... I'm STILL waiting for "Take out the Trash" to stick like that! LOL!
