1. All you need is two eggs, a little milk or water, some shredded cheese, salt and pepper, a little butter, and a hot pan, and I can make you a killer omelet.
2.On occasion, listening to the comedy station on my XM radio fills me with laughter.

4. Children who are old enough to speak in full sentences but insist on speaking “baby talk” is something I have a hard time dealing with.
5. A trip to that special island with Susan is what I need.
6. When you see an elephant is about to poop on you, you cover your head and you get back.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to being home with my family, tomorrow my plans include a freebie gig to help seniors with heating bills, and Sunday, I want to sing with the church choir!

2. Some people ask “Why is it you wear paisley underpants?” and I say why not?
3. What do you think of this whole “arm twisting” that caused the president to cancel his trip?
4. At some over-priced coffee shop where they use a bunch of froo-froo Italian words instead of “small,” “medium,” and “large” it’s free Pastry Day til 1030 Friday!
5. People say that what we’re all seeking is available to us for free–as long as we get enough “rich” people to pay for it.
6. The image I cherish most is a picture of me playing my very first drum set. (Or it might be the painting of Two Bush that my great-grandfather painted that I had framed for Dad.)
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to a romantic supper and a movie, tomorrow my plans include picking up the children at their grandparents, and Sunday, I want to get the budget done for Dave Ramsey’s class Tuesday night!
