Are we havin' fun, yet?

Okay, I don't know about any of you, but this is as much fun as Christmas. I love, Love, LOVE blogging. How about you? Have you ever had so much fun in your life? I have loved my computer for years, but that was waaaaaay before it learned how to chew its food. Now, look at it; not a baby anymore, no sir! Our baby's out of diapers and learnin' to crawl. And ain't I just the proud mama? You bet your sweet Bippy, I am.


Now that I've said alla' that, here's what I was leadin' up to: if you're not havin' fun with your blog, well... no disrespect intended, but you're not doin' it right. hahahahaha
No, I don't mean you're not doing the graphics right. I just mean ya' gotta' get in there and get some paint on your clothes and yer nose. Can't ya' just imagine if you were Bloggin' Paint and no one cared enough to splatter a little bit around? Why, if that were me, I would go into a deep depression.
Come on, bloggin' buddies, let's have some FUN !!!
By the way, if you click on any of my 'Blinkies,' you'll be directed to The Cutest Blog On The Block, a place that is just chock full of fun paints and all kinds of tools for doing all the remodeling you could possibly wanna' do. Now, let's get in there and spill some paint.
Oh, I hope no one minded how much paint I splattered around. hehe. Don't worry; a couple of clicks will clean that right up.

Happiness Is A Four-Letter Word

If there is never another time in my life that I am this happy, let this happiness carry me until I am too old to worry about it. Being in a new home with new surroundings is, as they say, good for the cleansing of the soul. Or, maybe that's something else that's good for the cleansing of the soul, but all of my insides are feeling "Spic and Span," these days. I could've never imagined that somewhere in my world, there would be a beautiful two-story home on a small piece of acreage that was waiting for ME to move into it. And do I hear the sound of 'Love' reverberating through the walls? They say that you are what you eat. Well, I can't help but wonder if that somehow works with houses, too. After all, you open the door and the house swallows you, whole. Depending on what kind of dinner you are (spicy, bland or seasoned just right), you may just find that you wish you had been flavored just a little differently.
Don't believe me? How about this? Have you ever noticed the homes of very excitable people? Quite often, chaos ensues throughout the home. Not always, but I tend to believe that a calm nature invites calm results. And if calm invites calm, doesn't it stand to reason that excitability would invite excitability? Naturally, that can be taken one step further, at least, to my way of thinking. Harsh, angry words that are habitually thrown from one person to another will cause the house to shudder and fear for its very safety. On the other hand, people who treat their homes and family members with love and respect seem to have homes and families who embrace them with love and respect.
Perhaps you could call me the "House Whisperer." I dunno'. I just have always felt that what goes around, comes around and I think that extends far beyond the boundaries of people treating other people kindly or poorly.
In fact, if you'll take the time to watch, you may notice that animals react pretty much as their owners do. Show me a person who yells and carries-on about insignificant details and I'll show you their pet who reacts angrily or 'cowers' from the hand that might 'pet' him, fearful that the hand may bring an onslaught of attack. much the same way. Want your little dog to quit snapping at you for the slightest infraction? Start noticing where your little dog is learning it. Of course, there are always exceptions to every rule, but for the most part, anger begets anger and kindness begets kindness.
So, the next time you go to cuss that wall for the crooked nail you just pounded, consider how the wall must feel. Maybe a little sweet-talking wouldn't be too far-fetched to include in your updates. It just might help the remodeling to go a little smoother, ya' think?
