Beautifully Unique : Go Dodgers?

Go Dodgers?

My Dad returned home from California today!! He visited his mother, brother, sister-in-law, plus several other relatives. Dad also saw an LA Dodger's game yesterday!! His beloved baseball team. Unfortunately, however, the Dodger's pulled a Boston Red Sox from when I travelled clear down to Houston in 2008. They lost!! As I slowly transition back into the swing of life after being preoccupied with Little Miss Secretive Writing Project, and conjure up some stories about Rose, here is a picture. Shadow says: Go, Dodger's!! Or perhaps not. Look at that very enthusiastic face!!

"Now that your dad is back from ca, did you reveal your secretive writing project to him & when will you divulge it to the world?". Good question. And I will answer it in two sentences. No, I have not revealed Little Miss Secretive Writing Project yet, because Dad was so tired upon returning home and today he is back to work. I am aiming toward this weekend--stay tuned--I'm literally freaking out!! ;-/
Thanks for the encouragement. I can use all the "support" I can get, Friend!! ;op; May 8, 2013 at 7:37 AM

I know, I know. WV can be a real pain in the ass. But I appreciate your faithful comments, Friend!! ;op; May 8, 2013 at 7:45 AM
Sketching with Dogs said...: Aww, great photo :)
I am a hater of all sports but I know my other half gets very upset if his team loses so I commiserate with your dad.

Thank-you for the comment!!
And Dad said that his Dodger's played "terribly", so, ironically, Shadow's sleepy facial expression is so very befitting!! That thought just now occurred to me!! ;op; May 8, 2013 at 8:27 AM
Tweedles -- that's me said...: hi my friend- hope your day is good.
love

My day has been good. I spent a dear friends' gift certificate today, and developed nearly an entire camera-full of pictures!! All Rose!! Now I can scrapbook, and frame several!! But, I also got a pneumonia shot, so my right arm is sore!! Oh well!! I am not afraid of needles. And I tolerate pain!! ;op; May 13, 2013 at 7:30 PM

"It's A... Terrible Privilege"

{Taken from "The Avengers"}
Tony Stark: You know, I've got a cluster of shrapnel, trying every second to crawl its way into my heart.
[Stark points at the mini-arc reactor in his chest]
Tony Stark: This stops it. This little circle of light. It's part of me now, not just armor. It's a... terrible privilege.
Bruce Banner: But you can control it.
Tony Stark: Because I learned how.
Bruce Banner: It's different.
[Banner tries to read the computer screen, but Stark slides the data aside with his finger so the two can see face-to-face]
Tony Stark: Hey, I've read all about your accident. That much gamma exposure should have killed you.
Bruce Banner: So you're saying that the Hulk... the other guy... saved my life? That's nice. It's a nice sentiment. Save it for... what?
Tony Stark: I guess we'll find out.
[Banner and Stark get back to work at their respective computers]
Bruce Banner: You might not enjoy that.
Tony Stark: You just might.

Raelyn:

I am a 31-year old American woman. I was born with multiple birth defects. Craniosynostosis. {I did not have any soft spots.} Congenital diaphragmatic hernia. {I had a hole in my diaphragm.} And Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. {I had an irregular, rapid heartbeat.} All three birth defects have been surgically repaired!! I live with "developmental delays". Learning disabilities, if you will. Such as--unfortunately--premature short-term memory loss. Oh, and I have attention deficit disorder, as well!! I do not like to evade such an issue as my learning disabilities. No. It hurts sometimes to be different. I was also diagnosed with a condition called folliculitis decalvans. {I am more than likely going to lose my hair, go bald, and unveil twain Frankenstein-like surgically-created craniosynostosis scars. Permanently.} But God is gradually teaching me that we are all, as my phrase goes, Beautifully Unique!!
