Hello all, So this past Tuesday was Valentine day, did you get your box of chocolates? I did not. My husband and I haven't done the Valentine thing in a really long time. I am that kind of person who wants to be treated like the Queen ( I say queen , but I found out a few years ago that alas I am not the Queen , but just the court jester. I know that one of my friends out there will understand what I mean). Anyway the Queen that I am, everyday. So I say yes to Chocolates everyday.
In about the 5th grade I became a cynic when came to Valentines day. I remember this boy in school , whom I thought was cuter then Bobby Sherman and Davy Jones. I had a huge crush on him . Well he stopped by my desk and dropped a envelope in my heart shaped mailbox. Made out of two paper plates in arts and crafts. I just knew that it was special just for me card. After he walked by I grabbed that card out of there as fast as I could and there on the front of the envelope was my name neatly printed there. I very gently tore opened that envelope as not to rip it. And there inside was the card. I pulled it out and there were great big old hearts on it saying in big letters, " BE MINE" . I knew it it was official he loved me. I flipped the card over and sure enough it said to Jerrilyn , From "THE BOY". I stuck my hand in the envelope and pulled out a pepto bismol pink colored candy heart with the words "BE MINE".
He was making sure I knew what he meant. I lifted the lid on my desk opened and grabbed out my #2 pencil, a piece of paper and started the " do you want to be my boyfriend ? Check yes or no letter. When my best friend came over to me and said " Look what THE BOY put in her mail box. I just knew that it could not equal my valentine. I looked and it was. It was the exact same card he give me, right down to the pepto bismol pink candy that said be mine.
Oh how crushed I felt , I wanted to cry. I wanted to rip that card up. Every girl in 5th grade got the very same card as I. I didn't cry that would give the snooty girls in class a reason to pick my bones like the vultures they were. ( another story , for another day).
I just took that card and walked over to the trash and threw it away, along with the pink heart. I took the letter home and threw that in the wood stove, couldn't take the chance of any one finding that.
I learned a lesson that day about the heart of a 5 Th grader, we mend fairly fast. But to this day pepto bismol makes me throw up to take it.
So now the other part of my news.
I got up last week and went into the bathroom like I always do and grabbed my toothbrush , put the toothpaste on brushed my teeth, rinsed off the toothbrush, looked at it added toothpaste and brushed my teeth again. Then I stopped and it came to me, that I had just brushed my teeth and forgot that I did. Wow can I be losing it. I thought for a minute and put it down to not being fully awake yet. Then the weekend came , I went no where, which was a good thing cause I forgot to brush my hair. So this past Wednesday I had to go to my Docs and pick up my medicine. I was sitting on my footstool at the end of my bed and said to myself I will wear my tennis shoes cause the weather wasn't bad. (just cold). Put my socks on, then my shoes, made sure left was left and right was right, tied them stood up , looked in the mirror and it took me a minute to figure out what was wrong with this look," I FORGOT TO PUT MY JEANS ON FIRST. " So off came the shoes, on went the pants, and I put my Crocs on cause I wasn't going to retie my shoes. I spent yesterday in bed, waiting for my brain to come back from vacation. It must have while I was sleeping , because this morning every thing seems to be going good so far.
So on that note I will finish off with wishing you all a great weekend.
Till my next talking , Peace and Happiness.
