Problems

Cheery Title, Huh?

I'm having trouble uploading photos for my blog. Don't know why Blogger won't let me. That's why I missed Thankful Thursday. I am thankful though.

Lately I've had a bad attitude. Really bored and blah. Then I started reading some blogs about other people's problems and I am ashamed! There is nothing wrong with me...well that I couldn't fix. I mean no major problems, no health crisis, no money crisis, we're not losing our home or anything really bad. This I am thankful for.

I thought to myself (who else would I think to?) I need to do something for someone else for a change. Figure out what I would like to do to use my talents to give back to life. Isn't that what God wants? For us to help others and not be so self-centered? No wonder I was bored...just sitting on my buttina* (psuedo Italian word) and not doing anything constructive.

*Buttina started when Caren came back from a semester in Italy and barely spoke English. She was so in love with Italy (esp. Siena) that she used Italian words all the time. So I used to make up fake Italian words in self defense.

That's how Meekie got her name. (Caren's love for anything Italian). It's really Amica (Italian for female friend). I love it when the vet says "Am ick uh" reminding me of the Amityville horror movie which is probably closer to her real personality. Remember she is plotting to take over the earth with her cohorts from Zorg. (See earlier posts).

Anyway, it's time to do something instead of just sitting on my a*s.
