A lot of hilariously funny, freakish things happen in my life, i'm not really sure why it happens to me. Sometimes I think, that dumb things only happen to dumb people, but then that would put me in the dumb category and for today , I am steering away from that. Tomorrow I might be back to dumb and feel good about it. You see "dumb" to me is like the same as using the word funny, silly, crazy, it's a term of endearment in my ears. Growing up in a great family with one sister and two brothers and a calm father and an over the top funny mother I experienced many occasions the name calling of " dumb, nerd, twit, dork, spaz. When saying something funny in my family someone would always back it up with a laugh and a side to side shake of the head followed with a compliment like "you're such a dork!" That's when you knew they loved you and it gave you warm fuzzies inside! Therefore, I have passed this on to my children with great pride. No one gets hurt unless you don't laugh while saying it. I sometimes have to remind my now grown up daughter that it is a term of endearment and that I am only joking. She quickly reminds me that "jokes are meant to be funny". I think there might be a possibility that she doesn't find me as funny anymore! What do you want to bet, that she passes it on to her children! I stopped writing a journal years ago and have regretted it many times. The new thing ( I hear on the streets ) is blogging . I might be the the "dumbest" person known to man when it comes to computer stuff but I am going to give it a try. I tried to warn our computer guy at work that he was dealing with a real live dumb, dumb when it came to this kind of stuff and he would always say to me"no you're not, you should see what I have to work with ". Fast forward a year later and I still warn him but now instead of him saying "no you're not" he just smiles.

So what did I learn today? I learned that I was capable of setting up a blog and even though it may not be all cute and fancy I tried and I succeeded!
