You know a hip trend is dying when a Forty-Something from the Burbs starts using it.
Fo' shizzle.

Friday is for Funny Signs
In lieu of a real post, please accept this reasonable facsimile of a post.
Not a THROUGH Toad?? Not Any kind of Toad in my estimation. (near Wawona in Yosemite, CA.)
This sign intrigues me. How many people do you suppose blow dry their hair in public restrooms and would be at a loss without this pictorial? Is this sign to warn us that this dryer is so powerful it will penetrate the deepest reaches of our brain? What are these linear objects in our skulls and how come I never learned about this in Anatomy class? (Los Angeles City Fire Academy, L.A., CA.)
Looking for a Few Good Mateys to Rob and Pillage?!? Pirate Staffing is available to help with all with your Staffing Needs for Devious Deeds! Parrot Not Included. (Santa Clarita, CA.)
Thank you for your indulgence in my hobby of amusing signs.
Happy Memorial Day and I salute and honor all our veterans and their families who sacrifice in service to our country.

Another Edition of Drive By Blogging
Greetings and Welcome to another edition of Drive By Blogging brought to you by Too Much To Do and Not Enough Time.
- I call going into my son's room to clean, "Going into the Belly of The Beast". Do you have nicknames for certain parts of your house or chores?
- Sometimes when I set out to do housework, I hear the soundtrack to Mission Impossible or James Bond in my head. Not sure what this means.
- I am getting into Triage Housework Mode in anticipation of next week's visit of our Niece and her husband from New Orleans. This totally makes tidying up Worth IT!!
- Most healthcare providers grossly underestimate the therapeutic value of allowing the patient and family to vent. So, Doc, shut up and listen, and Family members, please be prepared and bring a list of your concerns. Thank you.
- Photo memes are great, it's a wonderful excuse to show off pictures and exercise my love of photography. Plus, minimal wordsmithing is required.
- Which brings me to my next bullet point, some bloggers profess a difficulty confining their posts to less than a THOUSAND WORDS!! I have trouble writing over 100 words and no, I have no interest in twitter, already overconnected with communication devices. Plus, I suffer from "Passworditis" which is the inability to create or remember anymore Passwords.
- I am on a total music nostalgia kick, enjoying the songs of Rocky Horror Picture Show and The Partridge Family. Thank you in advance for your concern and no there is no Cure for loving the "I Think I Love You Song".
- The State of California has problems galore but you can't beat the Mexican food.
- When I asked our youngest son this morning to brush his hair before he left for school, he said, "Why bother? It just gets messy again."
- I feel that way about housework and laundry, but back to it I go.
What have you been up to this fine May Day? Thank you.

Ruby Tuesday
This picture is of the chorus from a play our oldest son is performing in.
(I apologize to the grammarians for ending my sentence in a proposition. Please feel free to leave me more grammatically correct options in the comments.)
Thank you to Work of the Poet for hosting Ruby Tuesday, a photo meme of the color, Red.
Bloggy Blingfest
I am thrilled and tres tardy once again in posting two awards I recently received! The first award is Ta-da-
This award is from dear JAM whose posts always bring a smile to my face and a growl to my tummy with her warmth, humor, and wonderful recipes.
In order to keep this crown, I have to list 7 Awe-Summm things about myself.
1. I actually understand and can explain health insurance policies and benefits.
2. I don't take stuff so personally anymore. I like to laugh at myself.
3. I am facile at entertaining children. I have quite the repertoire of Childrens Songs, "Do You Ears Hang Low?", "Peanut, Peanut Butter", "Up in the Air Junior Birdmen", "The Barney Song", etc. Handy at parties and checkout lines.
4. I am detail oriented without being anal retentive.
5. I can read fast and remember what I read. (Except maybe Umberto Eco, I can read about fifteen words in fifteen minutes, his work makes me crosseyed and comatose.)
6. I can get ready really quickly, hair, makeup, dressed out the door in under thirty minutes. Needless to say, I am pretty low maintenance.
7. I am good with pets and plants. If you ask me to housesit, everybody will be well cared for.
(This award should come with a warning label to let you know how difficult it is to come up with 7 awesome things about yourself.)
My next piece of bloggy bling comes compliments of the insightful and funny Modern Mom-
We got the rules right here:
1) Accept the award, post it on your blog together with the name of the person who has granted the award, and their blog link.
2) Pass the award to 10 other blogs that you’ve newly discovered. Remember to contact the bloggers to let them know they have been chosen for this award.
This is easy, nothing to divulge!! Yippee!! I would like to pass on both awards to these new bloggy friends who are Just Loverly!

Mellow Yellow Monday Photo Meme
A new blogger friend and a fellow "Martha" and photo bug has introduced me to the World of Photo Memes- Shadow Sunday, Mellow Yellow, Cute Pets, Ruby Tuesday, Bad Hair Day, Color Carnival, the list goes on and on. Today, I am playing Mellow Yellow Monday to show off my picture of this Spring's Yellow Statice wildflowers on a hillside in Gorman, California. (This photo was taken from a car moving approximately 75 miles an hour with my Can.on Sure Shot.)
I hope you enjoy and Thank you to Mellow Yellow for hosting this lemon hued throwdown!
Perfect Moment Monday - Cleaning out my closet
My Perfect Moment Monday is courtesy of my now clean closet. I can see the floor in my closet and it makes me very happy. I got rid of two bags of clothes and found nice clothes I had forgotten I owned resulting in more happy feelings.
To see what makes other folks happy this Monday, please say hello to Lori and the Perfect Moment Minions at Weebles Wobblog. I realize how thrilling a post this is and thank you for your indulgence.
