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.

  1. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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

  9. 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.

  10. HA Awesome!
    Luv the credit card, kids and dog illusions...no kidding eh?
    What is so terrible about moving an hour and a half away?
    btw; What does the caption read on the green shirt beside Mr I Beat Anorexia...

    __________ the Irish?

  11. 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.

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

Peace Begins with You

In my readings this week, I came across a video of Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin. He gave a talk entitled, "Peace Within." Who doesn't want peace? Who doesn't crave peace within their soul? In their lives? In their hearts and in their homes? How often do we have complete peace? I'd say my answer would have to be that there isn't enough peace in my life, heart or home. It's not like I live in a warzone--I do not. I'm blessed to live in a nation where I have freedoms granted to me by the founding fathers and I do not risk being struck down by bombs or shot by snipers when I venture forth from my home. My neighborhood is relatively safe, so much so that I take solo walks. The peace I speak of is something different. It's the peace that can be with me no matter my circumstances. I crave that peace. Elder Wirthlin says that peace begins in the hearts of righteous individuals. How does it begin? With a relationship with our creator. In ferven

She's Something...

Most of you know that I've got four children. My eldest is seventeen. Oh heavens...how did that happen? Wasn't I just seventeen the other day? I'm sure I was.... Well, she's amazing. I know the majority of mothers have very high compliments to pay their children--and rightly so. However, my baby girl is astounding by anyone's standards. She is going to high school and college at the same time. In high school she's taking mostly AP (Advanced Placement) classes, which also count for college credits. She gets up at five a.m. every morning, goes to Seminary, then goes to school, she works four hours daily as an office manager at Winderemere Real Estate. She speaks Spanish, plays piano, guitar and flute. She goes to the gym daily and it shows. This was her yesterday. This is a picture I just took of her, after getting her braces put on. Now, having said that she is gifted and talented, I should ammend this post to tell you the following. She just got home
