First, I do apologize for the briefness of my last post. When you think about it, there really isn’t much more to add to it, except to give thanks to God for watching out for everyone.
Some things with which I had to come to terms:
Young Frankenstein is Mel Brook’s finest work. Honestly, it’s a toss-up with Blazing Saddles, but the ending of Blazing Saddles was weak.
Yellow is definitely not my color.
It’s smart to put those treating you for trauma at ease. It isn’t smart to make them laugh while they are trying to stick you with an I.V.
I found the perfect chandelier for moi. And it’s just this side of redneck.
It’s perfect, and I want it, and if I learned anything this past weekend, it’s that Life is too short to wait for the right time for anything, or to waste time pretending to be something you’re not. Which is why this is just this side of redneck!
But the best thing to come out of this? The huge blessing that is the support and caring I received from my family, and from my friends, here and in cyberspace. Y’all are wonderful and I β₯ you all π

You are β₯’d right back!
(did that little heart work? I hope so…)
December 5th, 2012 at 10:47 AM
β₯ β₯ β₯ β₯ β₯ β₯ Yay!

HAHAHA!!! New WP toy, huh?? π
December 5th, 2012 at 10:49 AM
I would like one of those too! Keep safe!
December 5th, 2012 at 11:06 AM
I think we all need it!! And thanks!!

Thanks, Brad!

Are those “special” brownies or regular.
(meaning local pecans people!)
Happy to see you writing again. π
December 5th, 2012 at 12:35 PM
Regular, since he’s picky about “special” additives π
And thanks! It’s good to spittle and blather again!
December 5th, 2012 at 1:07 PM
Heh. Its not TRULY redneck unless your chandelier is made of Bud bottles. Keep tryin!
December 5th, 2012 at 1:09 PM
BTW…its easy to miss on your light background, but if you stare at the photo long enough…your blog is snowing.
Oh, and if you continue to stare, your eyeballs will begin to dry out and you’ll see an image of a duck. No, really! Try it!

December 5th, 2012 at 1:10 PM
…’course, that may not be snow…it *could* be the ashes of your mortal enemies raining down…
December 5th, 2012 at 1:28 PM
As if I would leave any evidence. I’m no philistine!
December 5th, 2012 at 1:27 PM
WordPress has an automatic plug-in for snow that begins the first week of December.
And that’s not a duck. It’s a quail π
December 5th, 2012 at 4:19 PM
Never seen a quail wearing a cowboy hat. So its DEFINITELY gotta be a duck.
December 5th, 2012 at 1:26 PM
Well, I did say *this* side of redneck π
December 5th, 2012 at 2:03 PM
Where are the xylophone sticks to play your chandelier?
December 5th, 2012 at 2:07 PM
Please, by all that is holy, do NOT give my kids ideas.
Or my husband, for that matter π
December 5th, 2012 at 2:12 PM
Glad to see you are feeling better π You know, if you wanted a different car, there’s lots easier ways of getting rid of the old one! I’m SO glad you weren’t in the van … or the Z!
Stay safe out there. We’re coming for Christmas!!!
December 5th, 2012 at 2:13 PM
YAY!!!!
That means I don’t have to mail y’all’s presents π
December 5th, 2012 at 4:42 PM
Woo hoo!
Yellow is Obama’s colour. Definitely.
& that chandelier wo’nae be too difficult to recreate, but with the practical aspect of also just holding glasses* (may not be safe for holiday parties, caveat emptor, cave canem, & all that).
December 5th, 2012 at 5:50 PM
May not be difficult, but that’s why there’s Pottery Barn π
December 5th, 2012 at 5:53 PM
Well, if I lived in Tejas & had a welder handy, I’d be happy to make one (for $499.99 + shitting & hampering).
December 5th, 2012 at 6:04 PM
Best offer ever π
December 5th, 2012 at 9:01 PM
Agreed on Young Frankenstein, but anything by Mel Brooks is watchable to me. The man is a comic genius.
December 5th, 2012 at 9:02 PM
True dat π
December 5th, 2012 at 9:27 PM
I’d love to see a chandelier like that stocked with Baccarat glasses.
December 5th, 2012 at 9:28 PM
So. Would. I.
Especially if *I* owned them π
December 5th, 2012 at 9:28 PM
Dammit. I always screw up html links. Baccarat.
December 5th, 2012 at 9:33 PM
I have several different sets of Waterford I acquired while in Germany. I bet they would blind people π

Trying to pick out the best Mel Brooks movie is like trying to pick a favorite song. As good as Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles were, I’ve always had a fondness for High Anxiety (particularly the diabolical Nurse Diesel). And while History Of The World Part I was somewhat uneven, Brooks’ musical number about the Spanish Inquisition will always be one of my faves. Besides, to quote the movie, let’s face it, you can’t Torquemada anything.
December 6th, 2012 at 8:28 AM
Very true! I love them all, really π
December 6th, 2012 at 9:58 AM
Must.Have.That.Chandelier.
I hope there is a link for that?
BTW, the “Get Well Fairy” dropped a little somethin’-somethin’ in your mailbox yesterday. It’s cleverly camouflaged as a Christmas present (its original intent), but as you point out, life’s too short to wait.
Go ahead and open it now – when I saw it, I knew just who “needs one of these”….. π
So very, very glad that you are still here!
December 6th, 2012 at 10:10 AM
Thank you for the surprise, and I promise to open it as I walk back from the mailbox!
Here’s the link to the chandelier:

Send one of your minions out to the mailbox for you – you’re supposed to be RESTING, young lady!
And thanks for the link – that’s surprisingly affordable!
December 6th, 2012 at 10:17 AM
Because you supply the glasses. Can you say, DOLLAR STORE???
Yes you can!!
December 6th, 2012 at 10:20 AM
Yeah, but Pottery Barn can sometimes overprice their stuff to the point of ridiculousness – and it always seems that the really cute stuff that I fall in love with is way out of my budget range!
December 6th, 2012 at 10:35 AM
No kidding. Thank goodness for their outlet π
December 6th, 2012 at 10:01 AM
Speaking of home decorating…

What knockers.
Oh, thank you doctor.
December 6th, 2012 at 10:10 AM

New suggestion for blog bi-line
For what we are about to see next, we must enter quietly into the realm of genius.
December 6th, 2012 at 10:10 AM
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
December 6th, 2012 at 12:11 PM
Hmm, how did they get the nails through the stems of the glasses?
