wow mom that's a cool cow

Did you do this when you were a kid? You use your mouth to make the O in the words.

wow







mom, that's a







cool (move your mouth to make to Os)






cow!







It's pretty much one of the greatest things you can do with your mouth. Some other great things include  talk (if you are me or someone like me who is smart and doesn't just say dumb shit all day), perform oral sex (if you are good at it and are giving it to a willing recipient nonetheless), eat (pretty much anything, especially ice cream), sing, and smile! But 'wow-mom-that's-a-cool-cow'ing is certainly up there.

You know what isn't up there? Smoking. That's because smoking ceased being cool the second I decided to quit. I don't know exactly how that worked... but it did happen. Ask anyone.

It has been a really strange week. One of my best friends' mom killed herself a week and a half ago. My parents' friends' daughter was shot in the face by her boyfriend during a fight. And a woman at Publix in Tarpon Springs shot and killed a co-worker after she was fired. That all happened within 2 or 3 days of eachother. Not to mention all the bullets and bloodshed that occur everyday... But I mean. Jeez.  Guns have always scared me... just given me the jitters. It's a lot of power and I am so clumsy I've always felt like I would be the one to accidentally shoot someone or myself in the foot. But I now really, really, strongly oppose having firearms, at least at my house. Sure I think it would be grand if no one ever had any anywhere... But that won't happen, plus I'm trying to stay out of other people's business and not tell them what they should or shouldn't do. But I for one don't want to have guns in my house, or at all accessible to anybody I love.

Good things have been happening too, and I have been seeing God's work all over the place for sure. It's just so weird to feel such deep sorrow for people that I love as well as gratitude. Balanced emotions have never been a strong suit of mine. My mom says it's a grown up thing... weird. word. Anyhow, if you are someone who prays, please pray for those people and their families. Pray in whatever way works for you I guess, I just hope they can all find some peace, comfort, and serenity in these tragic times.

On a completely unrelated note I have lost 9 pounds since I started eating healthy. That is great. I am going to keep it up. I want to lose 9 more pounds in April!! Here's hoping (and working for it). I hope by sandwiching the tragedies of the last few weeks with some more lighthearted things no one thinks I don't take the said tragedies seriously. And I hope it isn't disrespectful. It's just my strange way of getting that stuff out there. Not very graceful. I am still learning how to write I guess (yay blogging!) I learned the sandwich method from Stewie on Family Guy. He's brilliant. Anyhow, thanks for reading fellow interwebbers. I bid you all goodnight and wish the best for each and every one of you lovely little blossom head pumpkin faces. XOXO
