Today Is Tuesday. You Know What That Means

Today is Tuesday.
You know what that means.
We're gonna have a special guest!

It seems that lately I am just not getting around to writing posts. When I do sit down to write, I think about all of my blog friends and the fact that I don't visit you all like I used to. Then I end up hopping around and trying to catch up on your blogs and then the next thing you know, it's Tuesday again and I haven't posted all week.

I have decided that I am going to catch up on reading all of your posts, and stop, TEMPORARILY, writing my own. I'll still be around, reading posts, leaving comments, and checking here in case anyone has a message for me. I just won't be posting for a while.

Also, I'll be having a minor surgery on my foot this Thursday and after that I have decided to go ahead and have the surgery that is needed for my back. It is a pretty drastic move but my back is only getting worse and it is at a point that when I get up in the mornings, it takes a few hours before I can hardly move or stand up straight. After a few hours and a few Vicoden, I can get around a bit and take care of the things I need to do. Then, I end up staying up WAY too late because I dread going to bed and knowing that when I wake up the cycle will start all over again. Even in the afternoons and evenings it hurts. Just not so bad that I can't function.

I actually have an appointment with the doctor today to get the ball rolling. But again, I need to get through the smaller surgery, this Thursday, first. I'll post and let you know what's up, so don't take me off of your blog roll.

Oh, and you can't get rid of me that easily. There is no doubt that I will be back writing my deep, intellectual, and inspiring posts before too long. I'll be stopping by your posts more now so that I can get caught up with you all.

So join me now with the Von Trapp Family Children, The Mickey Mouse Club and a special quick message from Arnold.....
Cause Tuesday is Guest Star Day!

......and we wonder.

We all know he did it. We've been told and retold. More than likely, most of you have even said it. And we never say it once. We have to repeat it 3 times every time we say it. After generations of children and adults asking, we should finally come to the realization that he was either very curious, bored or just not very bright.

What would you have done? Would you have continued on over and over and over? Would you have given up? What if you gave up and the very next time there was "the answer"?

Perhaps he was a scientist. He was looking for "the answer". You have have to admit that he was persistent. Hhhmmm, Thesaurus time. PERSISTENT .....determined, continuous, bound, incessant, repeated, endless, unrelenting......you get the picture.

I doubt that we will ever know what finally happened. Did he ever stop trying? How many times did he say to himself, "Just one more"? Did he finally give up and go home? Is he still out there like the energizer rabbit...going and going and going? It's been a very long time. Perhaps he has sadly passed away. If that is the case, did his children take up where he left off? And speaking of children, when did he possibly have time to have children? Was he married? Did his wife join him on his arduous journey? There are just so many unanswered questions. I guess it is like trying to figure out how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie roll tootsie pop....the world may never know.

Never-the-less....I cannot go away now without once again wondering...wondering....wondering....

The bear went over the mountain.
The bear went over the mountain.
The bear went over the mountain.
To see what he could see.

To see what he could see.
To see what he could see.
The bear went over the mountain.
To see what he could see.

He saw another mountain.
He saw another mountain.
He saw another mountain.
That's all that he could see.

That's all that he could see.
That's all that he could see.

The bear went over the mountain.
The bear went over the mountain.
The bear went over the mountain......

and we wonder.

Have a wonderful day!
