as seen on tv

well the birthday went way better than I expected it to go....the family was in a good mood.....I got a phone call, from my "new" brother.....who didn't realize it was my birthday...but was workin' in town..and wanted to take me out to dinner, so I told him I had family over......but he could stop over here...and he did...it was really weird, I've waited so many years.....to just get a peek at the kids....wondering what they look like....but he was funny, and it felt natural...and his sense of humor actually reminded me of Ed......I told him I thought he would have a little more meat on his bones...and he said at one time he weighed like 350pounds....I was like okay that will do......he kept apologizing for staring..he says I look just like his younger sister....so that was cool... it was so a "as seen on tv" birthday...I've been joking with my family that I wanted to try those kinoki foot pads....., so I got those and the ped egg!! yeah..
and then my dad....got me this awesome digital picture frame...love it!!
and mom bought me this huge canvas....and cute art box with some paints..
and at 37....I was rockin' some lizzie mcguire balloons.....
and me and my girls.......yep..really should've took the time to put on the make-up!! yikes....
Okay now ....you're gonna have to put up with me on this one....just let me believe...do you see anything in this picture between me and Tonee's boyfriend chris?? ...........you know I love to catch an orb...on camera...(dust or spirit) still cool....and i like how it's coming in from the hallway....which jeniece says she always gets the heebie jeebies when she goes down that hallway...
looked up the definition of an orb- the definition of an orb as the soul of a once living person or animal that appears in photographs as a spherical shaped light, Oh come on wouldn't be nice to think that as the family was singing happy birthday to me (and yes in our family you have to sit through happy birthday no matter how old you are)....he was there...

This is the first blog I've read and read...and read... you write so well and it reads so smoothly. I hope your day was wonderful...

(and yes, I think it just has to be Ed in the pic)

Sandie said...

Wow. As someone who has studied this sort of phenomenon through many case studies.. for years, I can tell you that that is one major orb. Absolutely perfect. I would completely bet that that was your Ed in the picture. Awesome. How lovely for you!!! And comforting! Happy Birthday.

Minda said...

both your new brother and the orb brought a lump to my throat! So cool that you are picking up new family members this year!

How cool that your new brother came over! I think you look alike a little....what a cool birthday gift to get to meet him face to face.

Let me know if you like that pedi egg thing.I saw i on tv. It looks kind of scary....does it hurt?
