A Funny Story

This was emailed to me by a friend of mind named Cindy. I just had to share it because it was one of those things you could see happening to you.

One day I met a sweet gentleman and fell in love. When it became apparent that we would marry, I made the supreme sacrifice and gave up beans. Some months later, on my birthday, my car broke down on the way home from work. Since I lived in the countryside I called my husband and told him that I would be late because I had to walk home. On my way, I passed by a small diner and the odor of baked beans was more than I could stand. With miles to walk, I figured that I would walk off any ill effects by the time I reached home, so I stopped at the diner and before I knew it, I had consumed three large orders of baked beans. All the way home, I made sure that I released all the gas. Upon my arrival, my husband seemed excited to see me and exclaimed delightedly: "Darling I have a surprise for dinner tonight." He then blindfolded me and led me to my chair at the dinner table. I took a seat and just as he was about to remove my blindfold, the telephone rang. He made me promise not to touch the blindfold until he returned and went to answer the call. The baked beans I had consumed were still affecting me and the pressure was becoming most unbearable, so while my husband was out of the room I seized the opportunity, shifted my weight to one leg and let one go. It was not only loud, but it smelled like a fertilizer truck running over a skunk in front of a pulpwood mill. I took my napkin from my lap and fanned the air around me vigorously. Then, shifting to the other cheek, I ripped off three more. The stink was worse than cooked cabbage Keeping my ears carefully tuned to the conversation in the other room, I went on like this for another few minutes. The pleasure was indescribable. When eventually the telephone farewells signaled the end of my freedom, I quickly fanned the air a few more times with my napkin, placed it on my lap and folded my hands back on it feeling very relieved and pleased with myself. My face must have been the picture of innocence when my husband returned, apologizing for taking so long. He asked me if I had peeked through the blindfold, and I assured him I had not. At this point, he removed the blindfold, and twelve dinner guests seated around the table chorused: "Happy Birthday!"


I fainted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are truly an original person. You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out.

I mean totally hot then in the 30's and below. This weather is not good for my little one. He needs everyone prayers right now. We found out on top of his immune problem he has very little memory cells which I still have to do some more research on. We are back on all the medicines and currently sick . We did get a booster shot and if the medicine and shot don't work will have to go to infusion treatment but that is a last restore hopefully we don't have to go thought that. Everything I have read on that say it can be very painful and long process for a 5 year old its not going to be a very pleasant experience.

I did meet some really great people who were apart of Ravelry. Hello to all my new friends. I have to find everyone on there and add them to my friends.

While we were there it rained but it was nothing that my aunt and I haven't seen before except that all the California people where all bundled up like it was freezing there . But It was nice temps to us. I understand that it was cold for you California people. But what was with the boards holding the Palm trees up and the fences. I know palms have shallow roots but what about the fences.

We ate at two different place there one was called Hot Pot City !! It was a very cool experience. It was really neat it had a barbecue grill in the center of your table and all the food was raw. You cooked it at the table. Which was totally neat in the center of the grill was a pot of water so could make soup or cook noodles or vegetables. I loved it and I think my Aunt Sharon did to. I wish we had something like that here. So California people try it out you live there. I know I would go there again when I come back !!! The next place we ate at was a Black Angus Steakhouse. Let me tell you the atmosphere was like a high end restaurant but this was totally affordable . I was impressed when the manager heard it was are first time there and brought us some fried zucchini with a cucumber sauce and it wasn't no little plate either . It would fed about 4-6 people . My Aunt Sharon had a steak I had some flat bread with steak and blue cheese on it. Plus we had a shrimp and spinach artichoke dip with a spicy kick to it. Everything was wonderful. I would go there again as well. That was my trip in a nut shell!!
