Lite summer reading....

It's that time again, and since I'm on "summer break" and feeling lazy, I decided to do the easiest, yet funniest, Mama Kat writing prompt...

Incredibly short books...

1- Medications with No Side Effects
2- Exciting places to visit in Wyoming that aren't Yellowstone National Park
3- Buddhist Monks with Bad Attitudes
4- Commercials that Never Get Annoying
5- Fried things that are Good For You

Dear Celebrities...

Please stop dying!

Thanks, Kitty

Dear Ed McMahon,
I saw a taping of Star Search in the early 90's and it was really awesome to see such a cool show live! You were so much fun. Now you really are among the stars.

Dear Farrah Fawcett,
Thanks for being an inspiration to everyone who knew you. You were so strong until the very end. Now you are a REAL angel.


Dear Michael Jackson,
No one will EVER come close to the legend that you are. You wrote your own music, you sang your own songs, you danced moves that you created. I think your amazingness will never be surpassed. Thanks for always being the true King of Pop.

Dear Billy Mays,
I can't believe that your giant voice will be silenced forever. I have loved your infomercials for a long time and you will always be remembered.

A truely sad day...

I don't care what you think about his personal life.... the world will truly be less bright for his passing.

RIP MICHAEL JACKSON
THE TRUE KING OF POP

Aug 29, 1958-June 25, 2009

... Upon a Star...

Mama Kat blog prompt time! I choose #5 If you had 5000 dollars to give away or donate to a charity...explain what you would do with it and why.


If I had $5000 to give to a charity of my choice it would be the Make-a-Wish Foundation. There are few things more beautiful than giving to children. If a child is sick with a terminal illness is chosen to be a "Wish Kid" they can pick almost anything as a wish and Make-a-Wish will make it happen. There are some kids that just want a fun fishing trip, a lot want to go to Disney, some want to meet a famous person they admire. Whatever it is, they get it. I don't think it needs fancy words or a big explanation, it's the one charity I admire over all the others.

Please help by volunteering your time or business services. OR you can always just donate to your local chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Help a child with a terminal illness have one wish come true!

Your turn!

A new start!

First week of school down! I was totally overwhelmed this week as I started cramming medical terminology in my brain as fast as I could! We had an instructor change mid week because our first instructor hadn't ever taught the class before and apparently she wasn't up to standards because by Wednesday we had a new instructor. We didn't have class today because every spring they throw a big cookout called Spring Fling Day so there are no classes but there IS free food!! I stopped by for a little while, but seeing as how I've only been in school for 4 days, I don't really know anyone yet!

This week also brought another exciting adventure! The guy who emcees the trivia that I go to on Thursday nights had to give up the gig to attend to some other commitments and guess who got the spot... ME! I've already trained with the company and I was just waiting for a spot to open up. Since I already know how everything runs there I was the perfect choice, if I do say so myself! SO if you are in the Northern Denver metro area on Thursday nights stop by the Old Chicago on Grant St. in Thornton at 8pm!

Oh! Jeopardy is on... I have to go!
