Who knew?

                         

    

  Of all the Lord Of The Rings Characters... 

You are most like a: Dwarf

You're an earthy type – literally. Like a dwarf, you're not afraid of hard work or getting your hands dirty. You're the first to answer danger's call in the name of fortune or valor. You love adventure, though you tend to be mistrustful of others. You're strong, deft with an axe and deeply loyal to those you love.

I'm know I'm surprised. Hey, all I can say is at least the test has nothing to do with appearances! 

What is...

          

What is plot?

            Plot

1. A small piece of ground, generally used for burying dead people, including writers. 

2. A plan, as for designing a building of novel. 

I found this on the first page in a book about writing and thought it was funny. Plotting my stories is both my favorite and least favorite part about writing and some times I wish i didn't care about getting it right quite so much and could just write.

Well bye,

Read them aloud to a friend!

Sunday some friends and us were sitting on our front porch talking and somehow we got on the subject of crazy things to do on an elevator. 

We found a list and someone read them aloud.

My stomach hurt so badly from laughing! 

I thought I would share them; maybe you will laugh almost as hard as I did.

Here are the top 24 things to do on an elevator. Try them sometime when you have some spare time. ;)

1. When there's only one other person in the elevator, tap them on the
shoulder and then pretend it wasn't you.

2. Push the buttons and pretend they give you a shock. Smile, and go
back for more.

3. Ask if you can push the button for other people, but push the wrong ones.

4. Call the Psychic Hotline from your cell phone and ask if they know
what floor your on.

5. Hold the doors open and say your waiting for a friend. After a
while, let the doors close, and say, "Hey Greg. How's your day been?"

6. Drop a pen and wait until someone goes to pick it up, then scream,
"That's mine!"

7. Bring a camera and take pictures of everyone in the elevator.

8. Move your desk into the elevator and whenever anyone gets on, ask
if they have an appointment.

9. Lay down a twister mat and ask people if they would like to play.

10. Pretend you are a flight attendant and review emergency procedures
and exits with the passengers.

11. Ask, "Did you feel that?"

12. Stand really close to someone, sniffing them occasionally.

13. When the doors close, announce to the others, "It's okay, don't
panic, they open again!"

14. Swat at flies that don't exist.

15. Call out, "Group Hug!" and then enforce it.

16. Grimace painfully while smacking your forehead and muttering, "Be
quite, all of you, just be quite!"

17. Crack open your briefcase or purse, and while peering inside, ask,
"Got enough air in there?"

18. Stand silently and motionless in the corner, facing the wall,
without getting off.

19. Stare at another passenger for a while, then announce in horror,
"Your one of THEM!" and back away slowly.

20. Wear a puppet on your hand and use it to talk to the other passengers.

21. Listen to the elevator walls with your stethoscope.

22. Make explosion noises when anyone presses a button

23. Grinning, stare at another passenger for a while, and then
announce, "I have new socks on."

24. Draw a little square on the floor with chalk and announce to the
other passengers, "This is my personal space!"

Smiles!

Two kinds of people

“My grandfather once told me that there were two kinds of people: those who do the work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the first group; there was much less competition. ” - Indira Gandhi

My Point Of View

This is what I see on the day of the film festival...

Lots of smiles!

Free time to work on my book, (I get snuck up on by friends!) 

A lot of people I know and a lot of people I had never seen before in my life!

Jess and Dad working on a lot of things with a lot of wires.

And of course Michael being absolutely adorable!
