You Really Shouldn’t Have…

…but I am so glad you did!DSCF1448 by you.

I may be the most practical-minded person you have ever met.  Yes, I was the one, and I quote, “You shouldn’t buy me flowers.  If you really want to buy flowers, how about something for my flower beds?”

But I must say…I did light up like a firework on the Forth of July…or yes, much more appropriately, like a girl receiving flowers on Valentine’s Day, when these flowers arrived…just for me…yesterday at school! 

Yes, I am blessed…and today, I am not thinking very practical!  Just appreciating the man that is my husband and my best friend.

I hope today is time that you, too, appreciate those you love…maybe in a not-so-practical manner!

Happy Valentine’s Day 2009!

9 Class Offices = 9 Males

February 14th, 2009 · No Comments

While wearing my yearbook hat this week, I discovered that out of the nine class officers (three per grade level), that all are filled by males.

While wearing my Beta Club sponsor hat a couple of weekends ago, there I witnessed two of the three class officer positions filled with males.

Interesting.

When I pointed this out to some of my State Convention attendees, they responded with they “wondered why.”  My response?  “There are more girls in attendance at this conventin than guys.” (In our group of twenty-seven students, three males attended.)

Then the light bulb went off for those in this conversation.  You see…the Women’s Liberation Movement is of no consequence.  “May the best ‘man’ (no pun intended, of course!) win” is of really no importance either.

That’s right…voting is often based on hormones, popularity, and the weight of the female vote.

Interesting.
