Did you know it was my birthday last week? Yeppers, it sure was! It was a most wonderful day. I sat on a little hard wood chair leaning over a table that was in a corner of a room. I sat there for almost five hours. Don't worry, I wasn't alone. My daughter sat next to me the whole time. I bet you wish you were sitting on a hard chair next to me too. Confused? Let me start at the beginning of the day.
It was Wednesday, April 1st. My super hubby took the day off, so we had a lazy daisy morning. You know the kind, pj's slippers, and bed head. The only thing that broke the peace and quiet was the loud thud of me hitting the floor after fainting when my neighbor called and wished me Happy Birthday! I never realized he even knew when it was! Soon after brunch, I got my self motivated and cleaned and dressed for the day. My daughter showed up at noon and we got ready to go to the hard chair place. I told my hubby we would be back in an hour, and he started laughing hysterically. He knew us girls pretty well, especially if it involved a paint brush! So my daughter and I went to As You Wish, a pottery painting place! It was so much fun, I didn't even realize we were sitting that long. I wonder why sitting on padded pews for an hour at Church is more painful than five hours on a little hard chair? Hmmm.... I think that the shop must have been in one of those space time anomolies, for every second you are painting an hour of the real world passes by.
So, I painted a big plate. On the center part I drew a bunch of Doodlebirds and one little wiggler. On the rim I wrote "Eighteen doodlebirds and a worm" It turned out cute, see? *holds plate up to monitor*
When we finally did a warp drive jump out of the shop and made it home, the house was decorated with all sorts of fun farm animals and a big Happy Birthday banner. My hubby is such a sweety. The answering machine was flashing with all sorts of well wishing messages. One from my Visiting Teacher, one from the Relief Society president, and even one from my good friend's hubby who was on a business trip in Texas! I was hopping for a certain person to call, but that is okay. I think if I had anymore calls, my halo wouldn't fit on my head.
I finished my day with a dinner at Chili's and dessert at home. What a fun day.

Keywhompiejawed
When all else fails, make up a new word. That is my motto. Some of these words and phrases, because they have been used so often, are in the unofficial Kellyan Dictionary. Such as Keywhompiejawed. I am notorious at being keywhompiejawed.
Keywhompiejawed-something that is askew, tangled or just plain messed up. When I put on my seat belt, it is invariably keywhompiejawed, so I have to untangle it. When I write on non-lined paper, my writing gets all keywhompiejawed and you wind up reading the paper while standing on your head.
Most of my unique words and phrases come from my Dad. He was a goof. One of his favorite words was skedoolie. You know that one, when you write down on the calendar the things you have to do for the week? Common people pronounce it "schedule", silly them. The actual word is skedoolie, look it up in the unofficial Kellyan Dictionary.
My late brother added a few entries to the dictionary too. His most renowned phrase is Black Amulga. It is a condition I suffer from quite often and can be very contagious. Black Amulga is where all the iron in your body turns to lead in your rump. Outsiders call it laziness, but I much prefer to call it by its more scientifical name.
There are some newer words that are being considered for entry into the unofficial Kellyan Dictionary, such as Flazzoiter and Fluzzerwad. These words and a few others are being tested at this time by the Junior Society of Home Schooled Minions.
If you want to learn how to speak fluent Kellyanese, please contact me, and I will send you the skedoolie for the next class, unless I have Black Amulga. Thank you.

My To Do List
So, you are all wondering how I keep busy now that I am an empty nester. It is quite easy, I watch TV and eat bonbons all day! I so would love to do that, but alas, life happens.
I had written a very long explanation of what I did all day. I had posted it. I had looked at it for a few days, and now I deleted it. You are wondering why did you delete it? It was too long of a list, and it was actually a little boring to read. So here is the abbreviated list:
*Teach
*Counsel
*Cub Scouts
*Illustrate
*Support
*Love
*Help
Each and everyone one of my hobbies, projects, callings etc. are very dear to me, I love them all!
So now, I will go back to my TV and bonbon dream. Maybe on a private little island. I wonder if my hubby will mind if I hire a cabana boy named Ricardo? LOL

New and Broken Hearts
I just got the news today. It was really hard to take. It all started on Friday. My nephew's wife was having problems with her pregnancy, and on Friday she was sent to the hospital. On Saturday morning she had an emergency C-Section. Her little boy was extreme preemie, 3 lbs 2 oz. He and his mother are doing as well. Then on Sunday evening, my brother... my nephew's Dad... the new Grandpa... had a massive heart attack. He had some stents put in and is recovering. I talked to my brother on Saturday, he was so proud of his new grandson. Then I get an email from his wife today, telling me about the heart attack. I don't know what I would do if I lost him. Let me tell you a little about my family. In the last six years, I have lost all three of my uncles (my aunts passed a few years before), the last of my grandparents, my mother and my other brother. That leaves me with one brother and my Dad. Now my Dad is a not really with us because of the advanced state of his Old Timers disease. So... when I read the email I just started crying. Silly me.
I know I will see all my family again, so I am more lonely than sad about their parting. I just don't want to be left all alone here on this big chunk of dirt! *folds arms and stomps foot* I am so glad that I have a loving and supportive husband and the world's best kiddobeans!
