So I was sitting at Bingo Wednesdays' night. I had my good luck statute, "Wilbur" and my coin purse of good luck out. I looked up and there this lady standing in front of my table looking at my Bingo markers. I thought this is weird. Finally she goes you have a purple lid on your green marker. I thought OK and I have a orange lid on a red marker, I was thinking she must be a little "Monk" like the TV show.
I just looked at her and told her nicely, it does not bother me. She just shook her head at me. I got looking around at the other Bingo players, I was the only one whose markers were not color coordinated. Wow and I thought they were weird ones.

Dancing With the Stars Shawn Johnson
Tonight, starting at 7pm until 9pm on channel 5-----Dancing with the Stars-------Iowas' own Shawn Johnson!!!!!!!!
I have read several articles, most believe she has a good chance at winning it all... It is so neat to have someone from Iowa making news.
How about University of Northern Iowa men's BB team winning their conference. Another reason to be proud of being an Iowan.
random thought: Has anybody else notice that we don't get as much junk mail as we use to, it must be effected by the economy too. Junk mail Monday is no more, I remember I used to get at least 15 pieces of junk every Monday. I miss my Junk Mail Monday.
I also believe I don't receive as many off the wall telephone calls [ do you need new sidling?, credit card insurance etc.]
so there is a few more people out there with out jobs and they were not best paid jobs. God bless them.

For the love of sisters.
I will continue to say this until I die, people will come and go through out your life, but your sisters will always be there when you turn around. If it is to be good news or bad, they are the ones you want to tell the most. They are the first ones to help you rebuild your ego after a set back in life. They also are the first to pat you on the back for accomplishing goals that you have set for your self.
They have been where you have been, so they sometimes know what you will do before you say it. A sister can bad mouth you all they want, but let another person cut you down, and your sister is there standing up for you.
Friends will come and go and if we are lucky are paths will continue to cross and we will maintain a long life friendship with a few of them. No problems like that with sisters, they are yours and they are not going anywhere. They are a phone call, an e-mail or text message away 24/7.
You are lucky you have 3 sisters, a lot people don't have one. How jealous all those people must be of all of you. {and you know what, they should be]

Potassium
I got the blood work back from my doctor yesterday. I had problems with Low Potassium since the summer of 1995. At that time I took POT CHLORIDE 10MEQ once a day. This just seem to be a problem in the summer, as long as I ate a banana every day I was find the rest of the year. Therefore I only took the medicine in the summer time. If I sweat a lot, it was more a problem.
So you all know how I have trouble adjusting to temperature in and out of my home, cars or anywhere. I have a lot of hot flashes too. I have also continue to eat one banana every day. My blood work came back at 3.3 for Potassium, so it is a little low. I am on POT CHLORIDE 20MED now.
I have just took this for 3 days now. I don't know why but I actually feel about at least 40 or 50 percent better than I usually do . so i don't know if this relative or not, if I am just having a good day, or maybe this was part of the problem all along this year. time will tell :-]
So there is somethings else you all make sure you get check as you get older, your Potassium level. [genetic make-up, the gift that keeps on giving]

Things I fear
Things I fear: water or better yet just the fact that I do not know how to swim. I do not put myself in a environment where I will have to deal with not knowing how to swim. I avoid going out on boats. If I get talk into this, I am the first one on with a life jacket. I do enjoy sitting on high ground and watching the water. One of my best memories is sitting at Boston Harbor watching the world go by.
Heights: Once I was painting the old house, I made it up to the roof, thought I was doing fine. Then I looked down, I froze. I sat for at least an hour up there, before one of the area farmers on his tractor saw me, came to my aid and got me down. I have never been on a step ladder since and that was 28 years ago.
cockroaches: One day I was helping a client take out her trash. I pulled a trash bag out and notice her screaming and pointing at my shirt. There on my shirt was 1 and half inch cockroach, it was the biggest one I ever seen. My heart was jumping all over the place.
Speaking in front of groups: My body does exactly what they say bodies do when their owners are scare of speaking in public. This is why I was always so proud of my kids when they were in speech, Drama and also 4-H. { that deserve a posting to itself,coming at a later time} Now I just don't put myself in a environment that I might have to do this sort of speaking thing. To get a feeling of what it is like for me, think about the last race you ran. Remember how you felt at the end, sweating, out of breath etc. that exactly what I feel like and I am just standing there.

swim or not to swim
Much to my surprise I find out today that my 4Th child who is 22 years old, does not know how to swim. This has me totally awake now, I should be sleeping. I know we never got her swimming lessons but I figure she had pick it up all those summers camping.
I guess it is better to find out now, if I had known that back when we went to Battle Lake every summer. I would had kept a closer eye on her. So now that you are an adult, you will just have to be carefully around the water. Remember if you can't swim when you are sober, drinking does not make you a better swimmer. It might make you a better dancer or singer but again does not help when it comes to swimming.
So this is another way that I left Kelsey down, first I did not let her go out for dance when she was growing up. If I would have let her go out for dance , according to Kelsey, her world would of been totally different now. Almost like Disney World, I Suppose!
