How perceptions differ

I shamelessly stole this from Homo Escapeons blog because I thought it was so true.

It's true that we have different perceptions on how we see ourselves, how other's see us and how we think others see us.

Here's how I see msyelf.

This is how I think other's see me

This is how my children see me

This is how my dog and cats see me

This is how my husband sees me

How my sister sees me

And finally, this is how my credit card companies see me.

    And how do I see you Pammy babe - with the glasses of course. You are so sweet. You could make a career out of that photograph.

    Tommy, you are too sweet to me.

    Carmy, thank you.

    I've found that it's all in German while I am at my daycare boy's house. Very very weird.

    Oh, and just to let you all know. My sister called me to comment on my post here and said that YES I am a traitor for having moved here two and a half years ago. Evidently I'm a traitor to the family.

    You'd have thought I'd moved to Yemen and not just an hour and a half drive from the ancestral home.

    LOL - I wanted to steal that idea too but thought I'd wait a few months and try and pas it off as my own creation. I still might. Even the whale. Inspired, Pamela x

    Perception is a pile of hooey.

    No matter.

    Whales are big, beautiful things. That's the way they are. They're creatures of the deep, but also mammals of the surface.

    They come up to expel all that old air they've been holding, and they take in new air, then they become creatures of the deep again.

    They're the most intelligent, majestic, graceful, sought after creatures of the sea. Never forget that.

    Luv the credit card, kids and dog illusions...no kidding eh?
    What is so terrible about moving an hour and a half away?

    WW, if I wasn't married already.. :grin:

    HE, I don't know what the other guy's shirt says. I never even noticed that guy.

    Also, in my family, moving more than fifteen minutes away from the ancestral home is considered grounds for banishment.

Online Friends

I'm sure you've heard by now that blue is the new black, forty is the new thirty and they're lying through their teeth when they say that last thing. Also, imaginary childhood friends (you know you had one) have been replaced with online friends. They're the same in that no one ever really sees them, but you talk to them, you play with them, your other friends and family think you're just this side of a restraining jacket and you're a lot older than you were when you first had friends you never saw. Sure they're real you might say in that mocking tone you have . Well stop that. Save your mocking for later on when I tell you all about my Internet friends. No, I can't see them, or touch them, although some of them have asked me....um, well, we'll go into that later. People have become friends with other people across the world, sometimes they've become friends with people they'd never become friends with in RL. That means real life for ...

Wheeeeeeee!

Today I was awakened to the not-so-delightful sounds of enormous dump trucks, (you know the ones that are a dump truck and they haul a trailer behind?) dumping truck load after truck load of dirt behind my house. Then the most incredibly noisey and squeaky (do they not grease the tracks on those things??) grader began shoving the dirt and rocks around. I had to fight the urge to throw a can of WD40 over the fence to the driver. It wasn't even eight in the morning. It wasn't even 7:30 yet. So I reluctantly arose from my bed and cleaned up the kitchen. After it was spotless, I went back upstairs to my freeze-zone (the only room in the house with AC) to do some online banking and make calls to check on medical bills, etc. As I was finishing up, in walks my husband! At first I had a moment of Oh-no-he's-lost-his-job terror. Then it passed after he smiled. Seems they ran out of work for the day. Odd, but then that's Boeing. So hubby was roped into going school cloth...

People are rude

I'm whining today. I think I have the right. My friend's mom sells Cookie Lee Jewelry and I agreed to host a party for her at my home tonight. I sent out about twenty invitations via the mail and I only had two people call me to say they couldn't come. Two. Two kind people called to let me know they would not be able to make it. The rest ignored the invitation. I cleaned my house, I made two apple crisps. This afternoon I called everyone I sent invitations to. I know people are busy. I get that. it's not that I'm not busy either. I'm just...disappointed in people. I feel let down. Silly of me, huh? But I do. Good thing I have apple crisp and vanilla ice cream for my family tonight. On a positive note, I went to the pool this morning and had a nice workout. Felt better for having done that and plan on going tomorrow as well. Now I'm getting the 'what's for dinner mooooom???' queries. I think tonight it will be fast food. I...
