Sunday Citar

Today is my first time to participate in Tabitha's Sunday Citar, so I am starting with my favorite quote that always sits at the bottom of my blog. Hope you like it, it has always spoken to me.

To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one's self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived - this is to have succeeded. - Emerson

Welcome to Sunday Citar! This blog quote meme was created by Tabitha @ FreshMommy. You can stop by her blog to see the quotes and photos that she and everyone else is loving right now.

You have lost your punctuation priviledges.

Ok, that's it.

If you don't know what an apostrophe is for, you are ordered to cease using them.

And before you waste the energy to tell me I am an eletist hypocrite, be advised...I already know. I knew before you did because I'm better than you.

By the way, you can find this punctuation abomination as well as many more at HomeGoods.

If you need me, I will be filling my afternoon looking for semicolon opportunities in Domestics.

***BTW, congrats to April for finding my "easter egg", although I get the feeling that no one got the joke I was attempting here. Note to self: more overt.

The Bachelorette (aka...The Dummy)

In an effort to spend time with my sickly wife, I sat to watch the final 20 minutes of an episode of The Bachelorette. I am going against everything I believe in writing a post about a TV reality show, but I have something to say to the throngs of women screaming obscenities at their televisions.

You know who you are.

Have you considered that it is not Wes that is the idiot here?

Wes is a idiot, sure. We all know it. He knows it, and he knows that it will sell a few records, before everyone loses interest again...in say, 5 minutes. It's his schtick, and he's having fun in the spotlight. Douche.

But have you considered that maybe Jillian is the true moron?

This is barely more than the age-old story of the girl more interested in the bad boy than the guy who treats her well, and who is boring by comparison. To go on a reality show looking for Mr. Right and so obviously try to push this genius into that role is laughable. I mean, round peg in a square hole much?

My hope for Jillian is that she has been completely aware how much she has been drooling after the douchebag, and that she has been doing it for ratings. But frankly, I don't think she's that good of an actress.

I had a friend once who was fantastic with the ladies...especially at relationships that lasted 4-5 hours. And he told me that my problem (or one of them) was that I talked to women with respect. "As soon as you start insulting them and treating them like crap in the bar they'll be all over you", he would say.

Um, yeah.

Ladies, when are you going to stop giving Mr. Wrong more chances than you give Mr. Right?

I mean, men are obsessed with boobs, but we don't go out of our way to marry strippers, do we?

Roll Call. Minus the Jazz Hands.

Hi there, gentle readers.

Now that I am back to this fun, I'd like to do some reading...many of you I read ongoing anyway, but my Feedburner count says that there are many more of you out there.

So as we head into the July 4th weekend, and on into next week, I hope to read those who read me. If you would like me to come and read your blog in the next week, will you simply leave me a comment on this post, and maybe a link to your blog if you can? Even a simple URL may help me get there. I'd love to see what you have been up to, and add some more of you to my reader! So if you are a lurker, or generally read my blog through your reader alone, would you mind coming out of the darkness and letting me know where to find you?

Thanks for helping me create a reading list, and thank YOU for stopping by.

Have a WONDERFUL July 4th weekend...travel, boat and swim safely. And for goodness sakes, once you light it, DON'T forget to throw it. No emergency room posts next week, please.
