Random Tuesday and Coffee Talk

Link up with StacyUncorked for some random!
So I got a much-needed massage yesterday.  I had some weird thoughts as I lay there being pampered.  You know that face pillow thing you use when you're face down?  I wonder if anyone ever gets so relaxed that they drool on the floor?  Gross, huh?  Such is my mind.  And I wonder what would happen if that face pillow fell off.  Would our head pop down?  Would you pop your chin on the table?

I wonder what the masseuse is thinking during my massage.  "Look at the blubber on this one! Hahaha!  Or is she thinking, "This girl has some stinky feet!"  Hahaha!  And speaking of feet, why do they do your feet before they do your head? And why do they get that greasy lotion all in your hair?  They should do the head first.

Do you ever feel uncomfortable when going from front to back?  Ever wonder if, even though they try to keep you covered, you give them a little flash? And I wonder why they can never get the pressure exactly right.  Too much or too little.  And what I don't want is just a simple back rub.

Now, my husband offers to give me a massage sometimes, but he's expecting a happy ending,  He thinks there is only one reason why a female would let another female touch her.  He has a vivid imagination.

Have you ever had a couples massage?  There's really nothing romantic about it.  You're in the same room with the lights low and soothing music playing, but you're on separate tables at least 3 or 4 feet from each other.

So, what's your random today?

And the coffee chat topic at Ink Interrupted  is...
Do you volunteer?

The year I got remarried (2005) and moved to a new suburb about 50 miles from where I was living,  I took off one year of teaching.  During that year, I volunteered at my children's school and at our church.  Best year of my life!  Even after I went back to work, I still managed to volunteer in the nursery at church, wrap presents for Angel Tree, teach Vacation Bible School, and participate in booster clubs for several of my children's organizations.  I also chaperoned during games and contests.  I wish I had more time to volunteer!  It's fun and fulfilling.

My husband volunteers at a soup kitchen about once a month.  He and some co-workers purchase food, prepare, and serve a meal at one of the shelters downtown.  I admire him for doing that.  Do you volunteer?

Thursday Thirteen #29





Who am I?



A Photo Story







1. I’m a mom - I love my kids with all my heart. This is my first and foremost role in life.

2. Wife - I love my husband and want to share his life.
3. Daughter - Not always the best daughter, but I try. I wish my mom lived closer sometimes.
4. Sister - She lives an hour away, and I love her dearly. We get along so much better now that we are grown with families of our own.
5. Teacher - This is my career, not my life.
6. Reader - I absoltely adore reading. I read every single day.
7. Writer - I enjoy writing, but I haven't honed my craft enough to publish, and I'm not sure I want to. It's a great hobby and sometimes a release for me.
8. Scrapbooker - I big-puffy-heart scrapbooking, my hobby on which I have limited time to work.
9. Christian - I believe in God the Father, Jesus Christ-his one and only Son, and the Holy Spirit.
10. Volunteer - I volunteer at my children's school when I can, and church. I volunteer with the kids' activities. (girl scouts, football, baseball, etc.)
11. Insomniac - Even when I am dead tired, I can't sleep well.
12. Night Owl - I get more done after hours when everyone else is in bed. That's when my mind really starts to work. The day time is just rote.
13. Cleaner/Organizer - I could have put "maid," but cleaner/organizer sounds better. I like things to be neat and relatively clean, and living with people who put this on the bottom of their priority list, or don't put it on their list at all, really drives me bonkers.
