I liked this...

On the very  first day, God created the cow. He said
to the cow, "Today I have created you!
As a cow, you must go to the field with the farmer
all day long. You will work all day under the sun!
will give you a life span of 50  years."

The  Cow objected. "What? This kind of tough life you
want me to live for 50 years? Let me have 20 years,
and the 30 years I'll give back to you."
So God agreed.

On the second day, God created the  dog. God said to
the dog, "What you  are supposed to do is to sit all day
by  the door of your house. Any people that
come in, you will have to bark at them! I'll give  you
a life span of 20 years!"

The Dog  objected. "What? All day long to sit by the
door? No way! I give you back my other 10 years of  life!
So God agreed.

On the third day, God created the monkey. He said to
the Monkey, "Monkey has to entertain  people.
You've got to make them laugh and  do monkey
tricks. I'll give you 20  years life span."

The Monkey objected. "What? Make them laugh? Do monkey faces
and tricks?
Ten years will do, and the other 10 years I'll give you back.
So God agreed.

On the fourth day, God created man and said to him,
"Your job is to sleep, eat, and play. You will enjoy  very much in your life.
All you need to do is to enjoy and  do nothing. This kind of life,
I'll give you 20 years of life span."

The man objected. "What? Such a good life! Eat,
play, sleep, do nothing? Enjoy the best and  you expect me
to live only for 20 years?   No way, man!......
Why don't we make a  deal? Since Cow gave you back 30 years and
the Monkey and the Dog gave back 10 years, I will take them from you!
That makes my life span 70 years, right?" So God agreed.
AND THAT IS  WHY.....
In our first 20 years, we eat,  sleep, play, enjoy the
best and do  nothing much.
For the next 30 years, we  work all day long, suffer
and get to support  the family.
For the next 10 years, we  entertain our grandchildren
by making monkey  faces and monkey tricks.
And for the last  10 years, we stay at home, sit in
front  of the door and bark at people.

Happy February!
Have you found a Valentine yet? Be sure to go buy your Sees candy early, so you don't have to stand in line...

The countdown is 5 months. I'm getting married in 5 months...It's starting to pile up. Lots and lots to do.
My mind is full of flowers, cake, photographs, invitations, clothes, guests. But all I really care about is the ceremony. And because of Fr. Paul, I know it will be a very memorable and meaningful experience.

And that's pretty much all I've been thinking about.

Did you catch Survivor II? Gosh, the people are so mean. I think that's why, I liked the first one. They weren't expecting things. Now there's strategy and deception. I'll continue to watch, but I don't like the people on this one so much.

Philip and I have been watching Temptation Island. I didn't want to watch it at first, because it just seemed so stupid. But hey...it's entertaining. I admit, but the people sure are stupid. It's like an expensive version of Change of Heart.

At least we have something to do that doesn't cost too much $$$$!

Enjoy February! Send me a valentine
