Amy's Blog

I will be honest and say blogging is not my thing so this will be my last blog. I have learned a lot from it and I will take information I have learned with me into the future. I am focused on my future right now, there are a lot of unknowns on what I am going to do now that I am done University. Do I get more schooling? do I find a job?what kind of job? I am not sure about any of that so I am going to focus on what I do know.

1. I will be moving home next week

2. I will be spending as much time with Carl and and my dog Belle as I can. I have 8 months apart to make up for.

3. I will be going to Drayton Valley to play Cribbage with my Grandpa.

4. I will be going back to work in the oil field for the summer and paying off some debt.

5. I will be planting my flower beds and garden.

6. I will be going fishing, camping, and Hiking.

 7. I will be organizing my house and getting ready For my Dads visit in June.

 8. I will be playing with my neices and nephew and waiting for the newest one to arrive in July.

9. I will be working on figuring my life out and where I want to go.

Last but never least…

10. I will be drinking cocktails and suntaining on my deck. Relaxing as much as possible

I hope you all have great summers and great lives. I wish you all the best in your adventures and I hope the road leads you where you want to go.

Luckily I did not get pranked at all so far, the day is not quite over. I have found some interesting clips to either make you laugh, happy you are not these people or inspire you for next year. Some are simple but some took a lot of planning.Hope you enjoy.

This is a story about luck or Karma which ever you believe with a very profound message. Hope you enjoy…

His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Irish farmer.

One day, while trying to make a living for his family, he heard a cry for

help coming from a nearby bog. He dropped his tools and ran to the bog.

There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a terrified boy, screaming

and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the lad from what

could have been a slow and terrifying death.

The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Irishman’s sparse surroundings.

An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the

father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved.

‘I want to repay you,’ said the nobleman. ‘You saved my son’s life.’

‘No, I can’t accept payment for what I did,’ the Irish farmer replied waving

off the offer. At that moment, the farmer’s own son came to the door of the family
hovel.

‘Is that your son?’ the nobleman asked.

‘Yes,’ the farmer replied proudly.

‘I’ll make you a deal. Let me provide him with the level of education my own son

will enjoy If the lad is anything like his father, he’ll no doubt grow to be a man

we both will be proud of.’ And that he did.

Farmer Fleming’s son attended the very best schools and in time, graduated

from St. Mary’s Hospital Medical School in London, and went on to become known

throughout the world as the noted Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of Penicillin.

Years afterward, the same nobleman’s son who was saved from the bog was

stricken with pneumonia.

What saved his life this time? Penicillin.

The name of the nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill .. His son’s name?

Sir Winston Churchill.

Someone once said:

What goes around comes around.

Work like you don’t need the money.

Love like you’ve never been hurt.

Dance like nobody’s watching.

Sing like nobody’s listening.

Live like it’s Heaven on Earth.

As I am Irish and it is my birthday I have some irish stories to share. The first is a poem. 

AN IRISH FRIENDSHIP WISH:

May there always be work for your hands to do;

May your purse always hold a coin or two;

May the sun always shine on your windowpane;

May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain;

May the hand of a friend always be near you;

May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.

and may you be in heaven a half hour before the devil knows your’e dead.

I enjoy it and hope you do too.

10. My wife and I can’t come to the phone right now, but if you’ll leave your name and number, we’ll get back to you as soon as we’re finished. 

9. Hello, you are talking to a machine. I am capable of receiving messages. My
owners do not need siding, windows or a tub,and their carpets are clean. They give to charity at the office and don’t need their picture taken. If you’re still with
me, leave your name and home phone number and they will get back to you. 

8. This is not an answering machine - this is a telepathic Thought-recording device. After the tone, think about your name, your number, and your reason for calling…. And I’ll think about returning your call. 

7. Hi! John’s answering machine is broken. This is his refrigerator. Please speak
very slowly, and I’ll stick your message to myself with one of these magnets. 

6. Hi. This is John: If you are the phone company, I already sent the money. If you are my parents, please send money. If you are my bank, you didn’t lend me enough money. If you are my friends, you owe me money. If you are a female, don’t worry, I have LOTS of money. 

5. A is for academics, B is for beer. One of those reasons is why we’re not here. So, leave a message. 

4. Hello! If you leave a message, I’ll call you soon. If you leave a”sexy” message,
I’ll call sooner. 

3. Hi. Now YOU say something. 

2. Hi. I’m probably home, I’m just avoiding someone I don’t like. Leave me a
message, and if I don’t call back, it’s you. 

And the Number 1 Actual Answering Machine Message Recorded and Verified by The World Famous International Institute of Answering Machine Messages. 

1. Hello, you’ve reached Jim and Sonya. We can’t pick up the phone right now, because we’re doing something we really enjoy. Sonya likes doing it up and down, and I like doing it left to right… Real slowly. So leave a message, and when we’re done brushing our teeth, we’ll call you back.

I had the pleasure of getting sick for the whole of reading week. To add insult to injury my uncle passed away as well. Thankfully I was able to see him before he died I think it is somewhat fitting that I said good bye to him for the last time on Valentine’s Day. So I was out of town on Valentine’s Day and not with my boyfriend which is a usual for us. So my valentine was my 2 year old nephew Brody because who could turn down a Spiderman card complete with red heart sucker and sloppy kisses. I know I couldn’t, he made a terribly sad day great and I am grateful for that. We were both sick a day after the visit so who got whom sick is a mystery. He also called me last week without his mom knowing. I thought it was a butt dial cause there was no answer on the other end except background. I love him so much and half the things he does are hilarious. So that is the bright spot in my week from hell.  

I have added the Valentine day trailer just for fun enjoy

 An engineer (ex-NASA project director) has what I think is the near perfect
solution for airport security!
      Here’s a solution to all the controversy over full-body scanners at the airports.
Have a booth that you can step into that will not X-ray you, but will detonate any
explosive device you may have on you.
    It would be a win-win for everyone, and there would be none of this crap about
racial profiling and this method would eliminate a long and expensive trial.
Justice would be quick and swift.

I think as long as the walls on the booth are strong enough this could be a great idea.
  

I was out with single friends recently and I am so glad that I am no longer single. I have been out of the dating game for 6 years now and I am glad I no longer have to deal with all the drama. They were all second guessing themselves. They are all beautiful fun people and they were grabbing random guys by the end of the night. I am thankful I no longer have to worry about any of that stuff.  

I have constructed this list of reasons why:

1.    I do not care if I look attractive to men

2.    I can look my worst and he still thinks I am beautiful.

3.    I can be myself all the time.

4.    I never have to be alone.

5.    No more awkward first dates

6.    I never have to worry if what you see is what you get

7.    I have someone that is with me because he wants to be.

8.    I always have someone to dance with

9.    I don’t have to worry if a guy likes me or not because I know.

10.  I know when we go out we will have a good time.

11.  I have someone to go home to at the end of the night.

12.  I do not have to worry about diseases.

Most important….

13.  Satisfaction is guaranteed
