Two-fer Tuesday WLS Express!

ALL ABOARD!!!

 

 

Good Morning Train!

WOOOOHOOOOO for Tuesday and RAIN!!! We needed some of that wet stuff and yesterday it was kind enough to wait until I got home before it poured.  I hope it's just as kind today, LOL

Prayers going up for all that need them, especially Michelle, who is weighing on my mind this morning.

First is Joan Osbourne's What If God Was One Of Us?

If God had a name, what would it be
And would you call it to his face
If you were faced with him in all his glory
What would you ask if you had just one question

And yeah yeah God is great yeah yeah God is good
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

What if God was one of us
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home

If God had a face what would it look like
And would you want to see
If seeing meant that you would have to believe
In things like heaven and in jesus and the saints and all the prophets

And yeah yeah god is great yeah yeah god is good
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

What if God was one of us
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home
He's trying to make his way home
Back up to heaven all alone
Nobody calling on the phone
Except for the pope maybe in rome

And yeah yeah God is great yeah yeah God is good
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

What if god was one of us
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home
Just trying to make his way home
Like a holy rolling stone
Back up to heaven all alone
Just trying to make his way home
Nobody calling on the phone
Except for the pope maybe in rome

Second is Alanis Morissette's Ironic....
An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
And isn't it ironic... don't you think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
"Well isn't this nice..."
And isn't it ironic... don't you think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face

A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic...don't you think
A little too ironic...and, yeah, I really do think...

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out

Ya'll have a great day my friends!

 Morning Karen and TMB,
I am tired of people dying !!!!  Got a phone call at 6:05 AM today that my Sister's MIL passed away this AM at 5:09.    That is 3 !!!!  Now....God can stop letting people die now.  LOL  You know all bad things ( if it is bad to die ) happen in 3's or so they say.    Prayers for Granny's family as they grieve her passing.....although I know she is rejoicing now in heaven with her husband and kids that have gone before her.  Prayers for Michelle today and for Stephanie.   Love you guys !!!  Not much on my agenda today but going to try to stay dry.   Need to take my car in for scheduled maintance....but keep putting it off.    UGH I need to get with the program.   LOL  Anyway everyone try to stay dry...drive carefully on the wet roads.   Liz....hope your neck gets better really soon.   Gina have a blessed day and bless everyone ( and I know you will ) that you come in contact with.    Love ya !!!


Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

You guys are lucky now rain in my area yesterday but there is a 40% percent chance of it today. Another long work day of a long work stretch. My partner is on vacation and my next day off is not until July 9. What makes it bad is I start my MBA program July 6 so no rest before getting back into the thick of my education. I may have to take a day off next week and make my boss have to cover for me one day.

I heart goes out to everyone that has lost a loved one recently. I know from my own loss that it will take time to heal and that the pain never truly goes away. I know I still get choked up when I have to talk about my son. In fact it happened about a week ago came across a old digital camera with pictures of him in it. I did not expect to find any pictures and yet they were there, however, they also sparked some of the good memories. We need to hold on to the memories.

The rest of my day is work, try to catch a quick nap, and head to Tae Kwon Do class. Tae Kwon Do may or may not happen, I am having trouble sleeping and did not sleep but 4 hours. However, I will survive I always do but I will try to get some rest once my long work stretch is over.

MOrning karen and all,
I was not as fortunate and got caught in all that rain yesterday.  Of course it stopped the minute i pulled up into que's driveway! lol.  Just glad i made it home safe and sound!.  Went to PT for my neck again and i think it should be called physical torture! Im really in pain this morning....
They also put this Kineseo tape on my neck... supposedly similar to the stuff they take the olympic volleyball team with?? anyone familiar with this??
hope everyone has a great day
miss my peeps!
Liz

LIZ-there's an ad for that tape at the top of the TMB page this morning..lol...Get some and we'll put it on ya-save ya a trip to PT!

thats too frickin funny!!! i dont see it but im sure it will scroll by here soon!!!!
I will have que take a pic of my neck and come by for you to tape me ok?

Good morning all! And a stormy morning it is! I was heading out the door to boot camp, when I got a text, telling me we had to cancel today-no electricity at the gym and storming in the yard/parking lot. I SHOULD be doing some "circuit training" here, in the living room floor, but I'm already out of the mood now....my bad...

Lemme see, what's on my agenda today? oh yea, WORK...and plenty of it. Will have to keep reminding myself how BLESSED I am...grumble..grumble

Special prayers for MICHELLE, as she has her mom's memorial service today, and for STEPHANIE, as she is still in so much pain. Prayers all around for those in all kinds of situations-may our Lord lead them, as only He can

Ok..warpaint time...SOME things HAVE to happen-rain or shine, ya know!!

Gina AKA Nurse Diva

Karen- great songs- love them both.

Have a great day!
