 November 29 & 30.  Freebie days!!

Hadda get that down before I forgot it.  Give me two minutes........and Whooooshhhh.... gone...  
Anyway - I had a request for a freebie book deal on my "Humor For the Random Soul" e-book, as it appears that other countries are charged a surcharge or something.  I am going to check into that because I think I can do something on my end to eliminate that maybe? My friend, and excellent writer,  Michal was talking about it.  I need to read and HEED his advice more often!  I am so technically challenged that it took me forever to figure out... although Amazon makes it very easy if you know how to READ.   Geez......... a writer who can't read.  Or comprehend.  Or something.  But it is figured out and set up and You and anyone who has some Random time on their hands this weekend please feel free to get my book FREE from Amazon (kindle version --- which you can download to your computer or phone or I-pad or anything electronic).  Oh --- the dates are Nov. 29th and Nov. 30th!!  Please share this info with all your friends, and Please... please... please.... leave a review on Amazon for me.  It helps me see that people are reading it, and encourages me to work harder on my next book.

Speaking of which... I have sort of started it.  It is a random mess right now (more than usual) and I'm trying to organize it and serious it up a little.  I want this next one to be more useful.  You know?  Like, really Deliver some Usefulness to my readers.  But for now... some helpful tips that I will be sharing --- and you get to see it here first!!   Lemme know whatcha think:

So I was surfing the web, just minding my own bizzwax, when I saw a "male model" wearing what I thought was Spanx.  That underwear that holds all your 'not so desirable' excesses into a neat little bundle, so you appear shapely.  I think that's what it's for - I got me a knock off brand once and COULD NOT get into it.  Must be some trick.  Maybe I needed a bigger size?  A bigger crowbar?  It was XL though.  That OUGHT to be big enough, eh?  So I was thinking that it is not fair that women feel this need to pack themselves up into a little uncomfortable tight little mass --- and men get to leave it all hang out and that is actually acceptable.  Heck, it is even acceptable by me.  I don't care if the Mister is a bit out of shape, but I want ME to look --- fit.  Thus, the "Spanx-like" undie torture.  Anyway I was glad to see a male model feeling the need to 'get it together.'   But no... turns out that he was wearing Shreddies.  Or --- ready for this???  FART diffusion underwear.  Can be worn by men or women.  And then... you can fart away and no one will be the wiser!   You can Google it if you so desire.   I'll put more details in the book about them, but Can you believe that?  Fart Filtering Underwear.  Seems like a good idea, but they are EXPENSIVE and the ones who  need them the most (in my life) would Never wear them because they appear tight and uncomfortable.  Course I'm not meaning to say Spanx is uncomfy.  They just look like they would be.  And I read somewhere else, that they are Not Good for you.  I kind of figured that out on my own.  Especially when I couldn't even get into mine and had to spend a month with a therapist over that little blues-fest!!  But that's a tale for another day.

So - what do you think?  My next book is going to introduce my readers to lots of unusual but potentially Life-Altering/improving  info!!  Amazing Weird Inventions that make you say --- Why didn't I think of that?     Or maybe it'll be Tales From the Tree house... IF I ever get my Tree house.  I am beginning to think that I'm going to have to build it myself.  It'll need an alarm in it with a direct link to 911.  I tend to  trip just walking across the yard. Tripping up there.... could be a little more adventurous - to say the least!

Gotta get over to Margueritta's house.  We're doing lunch at the park, with Ugly.  I'll tell you about him one day.  He's a duck.  MEAN, mean, mean Duck.... and ugly to boot! 
Have a great day... and Happy Thanksgiving Week!!!

Up Up and Away -- In my beautiful Balloon!!!

Morning!  GUESS WHAT I DID last night?  I went up in a hot air balloon!!!   And it was free!  A local realty agency in town (just happens to be the one my daughter and SIL are going to be renting from) sponsored free balloon rides for Veterans Day!!  So the 4 of us went on downtown and hopped aboard!!  It was FUN.  Now I will tell ya, it was tethered.  So we couldn't get REAL high.  But it was still amazing!  I'll put some pics on my FB page for you later.  I forgot my camera, so they are in the Mister's phone.  Might be a while.  But it was pretty cool!!  AND then we went to a local restaurant and had a FREE dinner.  Free is so nice.  If you ever start a business.... hand out some freebies, eh?  Speaking of which... I think I'll go out to Amazon and offer up my "Humor for the Random Soul" book, for FREE again.  I did it once before.  Ya can't get rich doing such things, but I don't know what I'd do with riches anyway.  Well, I'd figure it out if I HAD to... but for now, my random brain doesn't need more to think about!  But Free is fun.   And I'm all about fun, so I'mma give away my book.  Wheeeeeeeeeee!   ( I know.  I know... there are drugs for people like me....   But I can't afford them.  Lucky you!!!)  (>‿◠)

I'm trying... hang in there!

 Wanted to share some things I read this morning.  One being:
It was an analogy about a boat in the ocean.  (I L♥ve analogies.)  A tiny boat on a Huge Ocean is fine, as long as the waters don't start getting rough and start getting inside.  Same way in life.  Rough as things may be sometimes, if we stay strong Inside, the outside can't hurt us.  As much.  It's just really hard to keep the outside from getting in sometimes.  But we just have to try to weather the storms and pull on our inner strength to get to the sunny side again.  And unlike that tiny boat --- we are never really truly alone.  We have God's strength within us.  He won't let us drown, if we pull on His strength when ours may falter.  ♥o♥   (that's supposed to be a smile there.  I'm not that good at making faces yet.  Well, not on here anyway.  The Mister says I'm VERY good at making faces.... but I don't listen to him much, and you shouldn't either!  -.O )  That's a wink.... Sad, that I have to explain my "faces".   Moving on............

Starting a Pilates fest today.  Pilates, to me, is Yoga on steroids.  I prefer yoga.  BUT a friend was talking about how she gets up at 5:30 in the a.m. to do Pilates.  Geez....   So I tried it.  Got up at 6:30a.m.  (hey --- I tried.  Set the alarm for 5:30 but it just didn't work out.  I'd probably still be there, but the Mister said, "Really woman.  This is my day off!"  ooopsie.  I got up then!  I'd already pushed my luck enough at 4a.m. when I took my "hugger" pillow and rolled over with it.  He SAID it was his "hugger" pillow that I Stole right out of his hug.  I told him to hush and go to sleep.  He kept wimpering (yes, he was) about his pillow and how many pillows did I need anyway... blah blah blah...  So I felt around on the floor....................... and there............ was ....... my....... pillow.  Ooopsie again!  I told him he could have the hugger pillow back.  He said, "OH, Found your own, eh?"  Hush Mister..... !

So today I'm off to give Pilates a try again.  I'll write you from the hospital if it doesn't work out!!  Have a nice Veterans Day!!!!!   I'm a Veteran, ya know.  And so glad I put myself into such good company!!!  It's kind of weird when people say, "Thank you for your service."  Shoot... I'm just glad they LET me serve.  They almost didn't ya know.  Cause I'd spent the first half of my life, practically deaf.  Turns out I just had massive wax build-up.  It was SOOOO weird being able to actually Hear!  But some things I was glad that I couldn't hear too well.... God knew full well what He was doing.  Course clearing out my ears just so I could hear the drill sergeant Yell "BEAUMONT!! STOP Bouncing. March Properly." ..... ?  I coulda used a little muffling for that.  And just for the record, I wasn't bouncing.  He just hated me.  Well, no, he didn't.  Once he pulled me out of formation.... to yell at me for bouncing AGAIN.... and I stood there, and he stared at me a while, then started laughing.  WHY?  I do not know.  Guess I'm just funny looking.  He sent me away, "Just go."
"But Quit Bouncing!"   Wait, no... he called it Bobbing.  Quit Bobbing.  Yeah.  I think I don't bob anymore.  Not really sure................. But Anyway ------------   I can't avoid the Pilates forever.......... so --- NitaB out.........

To eat, or not to sleep... that is the question. I think. Maybe....

Just wondering something.... I've been reading about things that are good to eat before bed, to help you sleep.  Bananas, cottage cheese, cherries, cereal, milk.   Noticing anything here?  Most of these are traditional breakfast foods.  Sooooo.... should we be eating things that  help us sleep - first thing in the morning?  No wonder I'm tired all day!!!  Also, they say that keeping your protein levels higher is a good plan for energy.  Yet, cottage cheese, turkey, and greasy foods like hamburgers, cheeses, etc... are protein foods.  They are good at bedtime.  Well, not the greasy stuff....  (the chin dribble might stain yer pillow.)  So what is a fatiqued fool to do?  Eat this to sleep, but also eat it for energy...........  STOP IT you "experts"!  Just STOP IT!  I'm tired.  Tired and Ornery!   No patience for waiting for ya'll to make up your minds.  Get serious, eh?  I need some pep!!  And I need it now! 

Destined for Destin

I am sooooo glad my daughter moved  back to town!!!   Besides the fact that she is fun and funny and sweet and etc....   she likes to HIKE, like me.  And last week she was at the hospital visiting a friend and when she was in the waiting room, she flipped through a travel magazine and saw a "favorite hiking spots" article, and some of them were.... right up the road from our house!!! 

So today we went to the one in Destin.  Destin, Florida is only about 30 miles from our front door!!!  Maybe 40.  But definitely CLOSE!   So we went on down there, to Henderson Beach State Park and we hiked around the trail off the beach.  It was pretty cool.  If you looked off to your right, you saw condos reaching up to the sky.  To your left was the beautiful Emerald Coast (Destin Beach) and straight ahead was a sandy trail with awesome plants and varmints (just the little dinosaur looking lizards) all around.  We walked the trail, taking pictures, and videos and enjoying the amazingness of it all (Photos on Facebook --- Videos on Youtube...  soon...).   It was only 3/4ths of a mile, so --- we walked it Twice!!  It was amazing both times.    I highly recommend this little trail.  Very enjoyable. 

Then we walked about a half mile down to Destin Beach.  It was beautiful as always.  The water was emerald green, the sand pure white, and sooo clean, the sand was squeeking.  Always pleasant down there.

And we ate at Floyd's for lunch.  Sat out on the deck, overlooking the water.  Nice little breeze.  Perfect.  We had a shrimp dip of some sort that was DELISH!!  And blackened shrimp tacos.  I am not a blackened kind of person, but these were not Overly blackened, so they were Good too! 

Triple Treat again.  Excellent trail, excellent beach, excellent lunch, excellent company... wait - that's 4.  What's the word for four??? Quad Treat.   Ohhhhh..... so blessed!!!!!   Love it!!!!

Triple Treat

Yesterday I had a triple whammy.  Of goodness!!

My daughter discovered a local pet store that has been there for months and I never even knew it.  It is a wonderful place to spend some time.  They have everything under the sun in there.  Even Moose antlers.  For dogs to chew on!  I can't even remember what all they have in there.  But it has your basics (organic - Good for your loved ones) food, and treats.  Homemade treats... pure natural ingredients.  There are Unusual things as well, like  Catnip bubbles.  I snatched up one of those!!!  And did Lil absolutely love them?  No,  No she did not.  I told her they smell like catnip.  They were floating all around her and one even landed on her.  She sat there... un-amused.   Well, I thought it was a cool idea. I'll try it with my daughter's cat and see how that goes.  Someone better like these catnip bubbles besides me! 

I also went into the local Asian grocery store.  It's been there a while also, but I didn't know about it.  Marketing....  very important.  But anyway...   it was a small store but had a lot of interesting (and gross) things in there.  I bought some sweet potato noodles.  I was looking for seaweed noodles.  But this was as close as I could get for now.  I haven't fixed any yet.  But I'll keep ya posted.  They are green.  Hmmm.... I checked the label.  Nothing in there but sweet potatoes and starch.  Is starch green?  I don't think so....   I'll get to the bottom of this one day..........  maybe. 

And I ate at an Asian restaurant.  Local as well.  I knew it was there but I was afraid to go in.  I heard they were full of RAW fish and such.  Sushi.  Ewww.... My daughter MADE me try some.  I resisted and twisted and plugged my nose and closed my eyes and --- I liked it!!  It didn't taste raw at all.  How do you make raw fish taste cooked?  I'll get to the bottom of that too... one of these days.  I will, cause it really has me intrigued. 

So there ya have it.  Triple Treat all in one day.  I hope that was legal.  ๏̯͡๏
