Friday, June 07, 2002 ( 10:29 PM ) wendi friesen Been a while. Today I was looking for - "free animated clipart" and it was a most interesting journey. While I should have followed it through to the end, I bailed out at this point- Clicking on the search result took me to a page where there were categories for animated clipart. (or so it seemed) When I clicked on a category it took me to a new site, and more categories. (no clipart yet) Then another click on yet another category, and viola, no clipart, but another site- new address, new pop-ups. No clipart. But I did get a great offer for a new credit card. Next I click on another category and LO and BEHOLD - I got this great offer for a home mortgage at the LOWEST RATE EVER, and yet I continued. Another pop-up for computer parts, and another list of clipart categories. Keep in mind, there is still no clipart. Thanks to windows XP I soon noticed that there are now 23 windows open in IE. A record. I have never, ever, had that many windows open. So, what do I do? Proceed to close them one at a time. Becuase, hidden within these windows is the clipart I came for. And by now, I deserve it, goddammit. It is now 3 am. I have succesfully closed all the windows and their pop-ups. I have won fourteen contests (trip to the bahamas they tell me) got a new mortgage (dont even own a house) and have 764,092 new credit cards. Oh, yea. I almost forgot. I saw Brittany Spears naked. I can't believe that girl is still a virgin. There is a moral to this story. Dont drink and surf. Till next time- Wendi # Sunday, March 10, 2002 ( 12:02 PM ) wendi friesen A bat out of hell? Well I never.... Bless you, Mr. Policeman. I promise to keep my speed down from now on. It's just that the car goes so fast and it feels so good, that I find the acceleration hard to resist. But he didnt find it hard to resist last night... pulling me over that is. He said I was going like a bat out of hell.... so I got to wondering just where that phrase comes from. Operating from my firm belief that you can find anything on the net, I proceeded. Here is what I found: Bats are amazing aerial acrobats, flying swiftly through the night using only their natural sonar (high-pitched squeaks) for guidance. The bat's flight is so quick and erratic that when aviators during World War I needed a simile for flying at top speed, the bat was a logical choice "Like a bat out of hell" first appeared in print in 1921, but is said to have been in common usage several years earlier. The "out of hell" part was tacked on purely for added color, and probably refers to the bat being "from hell," not necessarily trying to leave hell. I just love driving my mitsubishi spyder. And I promised the nice policemanman that I would drive safe, and I said I was sorry about 1,000 times. I haven't gotten out of a ticket since I was a teenager, but last night luck was on my side. Peace on. By the way, the web site for the bat out of hell is www.word-detective.com Happy Sunday.... Wendi # Thursday, March 07, 2002 ( 3:58 PM ) wendi friesen Inner peace? What's that. I have nothing more to say today. # Wednesday, February 27, 2002 ( 9:40 PM ) wendi friesen Have you ever wondered what it would be like if we could live life backwards? I have. You would start your life as an old woman or man, get younger, more beautiful, have more energy.... and really appreciate being young. Then when you are a teenager, you could really enjoy being a teenager. You would know how good it is to not have to have a job, to not have all the responsibility of being an adult. . And you could look forward to your first kiss, and whatever else you did for the first time as a teenager. Then when you are a baby, you would totally enjoy having all your needs met. I mean really, you would be rewarded for having lived a long life by being fed, held, cooed over, and having someone wipe your butt. Then just when you thought it couldnt get any better, you go back into the womb. Warm and safe you live out your last nine months, and end your life as an orgasm. :) Heee heee! # Thursday, February 14, 2002 ( 9:01 AM ) wendi friesen Today is a good day. The sun is bright, the sun on the mountains is spectacular, the kids are at school, I am contemplating getting into the shower.... all is well. It is such a good day, I might even consider exercising. A brisk run in the sun would be good for the body. Maybe I will lay down and think about it for a little while. I am going to the KINGS/WIZARDS game tonight. I get to see MJ and my favorite bunch of very tall guys... the kings. Go Kings. Kick MJ's butt all over the place. # Wednesday, February 13, 2002 ( 9:17 AM ) wendi friesen It is time to wake up, hang up, wise up and drive. To the woman in the black Honda, on the cell phone this morning... you chose to take the lives of several people into your hands today. You sent me and my son into head on traffic when you pulled out in front of us.. You could have at least hung up your phone after risking the lives of so many people. Thank you to all the ALERT drivers who helped to avoid a dealy head on collision. Every time we get on the road we are putting our lives into the hands of others. Noboby gets into their car planning to die, but the chance is always there. I feel extremely grateful to be alive right now. Funny thing though... I have this urge to kill the woman in the black honda. Grrrrr... OK, I wouldn't hurt her, but it would be nice to let her know how I feel. # Tuesday, February 12, 2002 ( 9:58 AM ) wendi friesen Every now and then something special happens. Last weekend was very special for me. I was fortunate to be chosen to be a speaker for the NGH solid gold convention. (they choose 6 top trainers from several countries) The part that is really special is what has happened in the days following the convention. I spoke about creating abundance and releasing fear. Many of you who attended the workshop have written to me telling me about your miracles that you manifested as a result of the process. Some are small, some are big. All are significant because we really get to find out how powerful our thoughts and intentions are in creating our reality. I want to THANK YOU ALL for you kindness, excellent letters and emails and the inspiration you have given me. Life never used to be this much fun. I urge you to find your passion and make it your work. Manifest your abundance and expect miracles every day. Miracles happen. # |
