Is this a juggling trick?

Nope.  but, I can juggle…I am actually pretty good at it…once I get goin.

Is this a math problem?

Uh…no.

Silly.

I am going to put a video up on my blog.

Yep.

You read that correctly.

Shall I repeat it…I know it is a total shock for all of you!

I am going to put a video up on my blog.

Ready?

Drum roll please….

The Uniqueness of Humans

Crap.

It didn’t work.

If you click on the link…you will get to the video. I wanted the actual video to show up on the post.

Anyway….back to the video…

He is one of my fav dudes…Robert Sapolsky.  He is funny and brilliant.  He also has some fantastic lectures on depression, religion and all sorts of interesting topics.

Hope you enjoy~

P.S. WordPress dude…if you are reading my blog this morning…how do I add a video?????

P.S.S. Maybe I need that second cup of coffee after all!

A few hours later, I had a break and created a fabulous arrangement in my favorite vase.  Put the flowers on the table and stood back to enjoy them.

Then I had a quick lunch and started to read my notes to get ready to chat with my next wonderful client.  After reading my notes, I did my lunch dishes and then noticed that I hadn’t taken my probiotic yet…so, I grabbed a couple…plopped them into my mouth and grabbed the glass of water that was sitting on the counter.  Sucked down the whole thing.

I tasted something weird.

“What is that???”  I wondered

A second later…I realized what I had done.

Yep.

I drank the flower water.

A whole glass of it.

My client was going to be calling me in a few minutes so, I called my brilliant friend Christine (she is Miss Herbal Babe and I thought she might know if I had poisoned myself and was gonna die…or not). Cuz the taste in my mouth was bad…really bad…and my throat felt weird.

After I told her what had happened…she started laughing…caught herself and then went into action.  She looked up the flowers that were in the bouquet and everything seemed fine.  We were concerned about what the flowers might have been sitting in when they were at the store.  Plus, my chest was feeling kind of tight and wheezy.  Most likely cuz I had scared the begeezus out of myself…but maybe it was from the lethal poison possibility.

My call rang in and Christine offered to call the poison control center.  She said that she would email as soon as she spoke with someone.

It is so nice to have such loving friends~  Thanks Christine

I took my call.  Briefly told my client what had happened…she started laughing and then quickly regained her composure.  I told her all of this in case I had to go drink a bowl of charcoal or something.  Just to give her a heads up in case I stopped breathing….or started to choke…or whatever else could happen to someone who poisons themselves drinking flower water!

The poison control woman said for me to keep hydrated and make sure my stomach had some food in it through out the next 24 hours.  Yay!  I can do that!!!!  Pumpkin pie.  Chocolate.  And some more cheese please:)

After awhile my wheezing stopped and my body settled down.  It took 2 days for the taste to leave my mouth and throat. I guess my body wanted me to remember not to drink anymore flower water, just in case I decided to take a swig from the vase of flowers or something.

I am okay now.

My near death experience is over.

Well, it wasn’t really that near…but, it was in my head!  My mind can sure create a lot of end of the world scenarios!  I am just gifted in that way

Just another blonde moment in the land of Lynne~

Hope you had a safe holiday!

And may this be a warning to all of you…Don’t drink the flower water!

Hi there Cutie Patuties!

Both of my boys are back home for a brief “Hey mom…howzitgoin?  Got anything good to eat?”

My oldest son has spent the last handful of weeks hangin out with his dad in Arizona while my youngest son has been riding his bike (yes…bike) around the deserts of Arizona….ALONE…on his BIKE….since February!

This has been an amazing time for him.  And sure, I get it…I am a gypsy too…but I am his mom and prone to  making really great stories up in my head about ways he could die in the desert alone on his bike!

So, weird as it sounds, I spent yesterday cleaning the house from top to bottom to prepare for their homecoming (like they would even care or even notice)…oh, and stocking the fridge and cupboards with all of their favorite foods (which they did notice!). While I was cleaning, I decided it was time to get rid of all of the cobwebs that like to hang out on the ceilings.  My office is in the front room of the house and my youngest was gonna be sleeping on the floor and I wanted to make it nice for him.

I tried to hold the vacuum cleaner up while reaching the cobwebs…but that was a bit of a struggle.  So, I brilliantly thought…”I know, I will put the vacuum on my office chair, then I can reach the high places much easier!!!!  Yay me!!!  I am so darned smart!!!”   Oh, I forgot to mention that my chair is fabric.

I rolled the chair around with the vacuum perched nicely on the seat, suckin up the cobwebs, thinkin how nice everything was looking.  When I was done, I lifted the vacuum off the chair.

Guess what happened?

Go ahead….give it a guess!

Yep…not only did the vacuum suck up all the cobwebs, it also sucked up my chair.

Now, I have a nice big ripped hole in my chair and the stuffing was even sucked up.  Wow.  Good vacuum cleaner!!!!

So now I have a beautifully cleaned house, stocked cupboards, no cobwebs and my chair looks like a chair that was bought from a really bad garage sale.

Ah well, at least I entertain myself
