I almost forgot...I got my appointment for my MRI's...I go on March 24 at 9:45 and then back to the Neurosurgeon on March 25 at 9:30.  I was able to get my appointment for the open MRI instead of the MRI tube.  I am a bit happy about that because I don't exactly know how I would feel in the tube!!!!


Well I am off to get supper finished and then a bit more work I want to try and finish tonight.  I have just under two weeks that I would like to have all the little things done...just incase. 

Will pop back in later to say HI...

 
That is great, CEK!  Sounds like things are moving along.  YEA!!!  Happy for you!!

Cassidy, how is the planning or your St. Patrick's Day Party coming along?   Presume you mean this gorgeous type of hydrangea.  Love them. 

I have to say I REALLY like Amy so much more now that she isn't "the competition"...And she has been so busy, commercials, book, etc.  I wondered if her romance (she had a boyfriend, remember?) has bitten the dust too.  I hope not.

Authenticity is always a risk.....It can be good or bad depending on the situation and who says or does it...whatever "it" is. No question that one moment of weakness, if you will, can wipe out a ton of good will....that is difficult to recover. But there is something to being who you are and being yourself. In today's world, everyone can know your moments of grandeur as well as your moments of weakness. It's the chance you take--and somewhat depends on the company you keep.

Be whoever you are, but with the understanding that grace with candor will go farther than weakness with poor judgement...and poor judgement and weakness tend to go hand in hand.

My grandmother and I were super close, maybe closer than my mom and I were.  My grandma taught me that I would be judged by the company I kept and don't you know that it is true?  It was a valuable lesson that I never forgot.  She also was big on my wearing clean underwear in case I got in an accident and ended up in the emergency room.  I have tried to figure this one out but to no avail.  Ah well, gotta love the grandmother and her advice. 

 I'll go you one better from grandma. My dad was a lawyer and in legal circles, the company you keep can make you an accomplice to a crime. So we were told to stay away from crowds, keep a low profile, and not be in the company of any individual who was not a straight arrow. No matter who it was who gave it, that was good advice. I think everyone from the depression era had the underwear fetish!!! LOL

As for the company you keep, I always heard it as "Birds of a feather flock together". This is not always true I have learned, even from high school.

I wonder if she is thinking of someone in particular. This could describe Meryl but not Peta (because of the "hard to catch" phrase).
