my Little joys

Body: 

"Pollyana here reporting live from the frontlines of Zelda's War on Terror".
It's been pretty ugly and hard on everyone who knows her.
But fortunately she got the upper hand before the collateral damage
was permanent. Bruising was minimal and her heart is intact, in fact
we're all amazed at how large it appears to be with all the pain beaten
out of her hide. It seems to have gotten her blood moving, and gotten a few
issues out of her system as well.
She is presently living in the moment and recovering nicely. Valentine's
day will always have a symbolic association and will also be celebrated as her
V-day."

I am celebrating Valentines by wearing my 12 yr. son's favorite black T-shirt
" I DO ALL MY OWN STUNTS" with a falling stick figure...

Over which I am wearing my 16 yr. D's black fancy Hoody with silver embroidered roses.
silly - I know but oh so fun.

and here's a little funny thing to share. My D & I were arguing and I could feel my
BP rising which also makes POP sing, so I said "Your voice is giving me Prolapse !"
and we both started laughing because we've watched "Connie and Carla" 100+times...

my silly little joys...

Zelda

Zelda
So glad to hear you are having a "Happy Valentines Day."
I wish you many more.
Flora

... "Your voice is giving me prolapse!" He he he.

Anita

So glad to hear your lightness! As well as your humor...
What is Connie and Carla??

is a hafta see movie with the actress from "My Big Fat Greek Wedding"
and a great Aussie ? actress with a big goofy grin.
Comedy - of course. I swear it's about all I can stand these days, but I've always been
great big wuss. The worst thing I've ever imagined was watching "Sophie's Choice" it was open heart surgery minus anesthesia.
I tried to cry quietly in to the hood of my sweatshirt as a kid watching "E.T." in the theater.

What are some your favorite comedies or uplifting movies ? I've been trying to think of other titles I love.
Zelda

Forrest Gump - love the character and the music!

How about the good old classics like History of the World Part 1, High Anxiety, Monty Python and the Holy Grail(pure silliness)
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, There's Something About Mary,...
Also some darker comedies like Oh Brother Where Art Thou, The Triplets of Belleville,...
ok, now you got me going here...I could go on...
need some more?

I know maybe half. cool, a list to fill. I've been racking my brain and
am suffering the complete memory loss of tiredness. So when they finally
pop up I'll pass on more titles.
"Like Water For Chocolate"
Zelda

I hate watching real heart wrenching weepies as they affect me for days. I never watched ET, was probably the only kid on the block to refuse to watch it but just found it sad. I was talked into going to the movies to see Saving Private Ryan and yes it was a brilliant film but oh so depressing and I cried and cried and cried. I lived with that dark feeling it left me with for weeks.

I am not a comedy movie fan but I have seen Something About Mary, and the American Pie series and enjoyed them but love a really good thriller, saw Deja Vu the other night and thought it was great.

Anita

Like Water for Chocolate was a beautiful movie!

I love austin powers and the wedding singer.
other than that, my fav movies are the princess bride, the king and I and a little princess (the one with shirley temple).

Loved that movie and have seen it many times. I think the funniest part for me was that bit where Adam Sander was singing Drew Barrymore a new song he was working on which started all calm and loving and burst into anger - great stuff! I could sit and watch that again thinking about it.

Accupuncture !!
Due to the fact that my miserable-customer-harassing-unfriendly-as-hell Mortgage Co.
would not take my payment this month because they will accept no less than Half of my arrears....
flippin' Idiots.
I Finally after all this time !! saw my dear Accu Doc. this morning. I have been having some unpleasant
kidney sensations for a week or so (and had trouble in the past that was relieved by 3 accu sessions
and chinese herbs.) I figured i'd best get some care. There is a Spleen support spot on the top of the
head that really seems to help POP. Granted I've felt pretty good for a few days now, but this afternoon I
actually had NO sensation of POP. HALLELUJAH!. The dear man gave me the herbs free 'cause they were
close to date and he also undercharged me - when I argued, he said "just keep coming back - you need it."
oh sweet gratitude.

I'm taking my collectable old muscle car to an auction this weekend. I am Praying that fortune
smiles on me and I make enough to take care of my debts AND cushion myself for a few months or more More MORE
(PLEASEGODPLEASE)

I am feeling acceptance these days, and am finding a certain grace in how I take the day. A feeling I would
so happily share with any of you if I could only find a way... I'm blowing little kisses of grace and acceptance your way.
Zelda

In the "Wedding Singer" too ! I actually own this movie.
Zelda

and the sparrows are busy with signs of courtship.
I have a decadent cup of Dragon Pearl Green tea
wafting it's delicate perfume under my nose and have
a deep sense of well-being. POP is still riding high,
last night I even did a wee checkerama and couldn't even
touch my cervix and had no discernable bulges. For reals.
I realize that may change after umpteen hours in a bumpy
truck. But even so these few days fill me with such hope that
I will have many many more great symptom free days.

I'm leaving for Seattle today to take my dear old car to auction.
Calling all Angels... I've gone from initial elation at how
well the market is for these cars to complete anxiety that
by some fluke it won't sell high. And now back to some
small faith that I have been so focused on the welfare of my
family and have sacrificed a number of my things to pay
bills, that the fates might just be kind to us.
Zelda
