Mary K's ramblings

26 April 2005

It is with saddest heart that I pass on the following news. Please join me in remembering a great icon of the entertainment community.

Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection, and complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71. Doughboy is survived by his wife, Play Dough, two children, John Dough and Jane Dough, who has a bun in the oven. He is also survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart.

Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin.

Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, The California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies and Captain Crunch. The grave site was piled high with flours.

Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy, and lovingly described Doughboy as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded. Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. He was not considered a very smart "cookie", wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes.

Despite being a little flaky at times, he still, as a crusty old man, was considered a roll model for millions.

The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.

I have to pick 5 or more of the following occupations and post my answers here. Then, I tag 3 other people to post their answers on their blog. Got it? Sounds like fun, huh?Here goes....The "questions":
If I could be a scientist...If I could be a farmer...If I could be a musician...If I could be a doctor...If I could be a painter...If I could be a gardener...If I could be a missionary...If I could be a chef...If I could be an architect...If I could be a linguist...If I could be a psychologist...If I could be a librarian...If I could be an athlete...If I could be a lawyer...If I could be an inn-keeper...If I could be a professor...If I could be a writer...If I could be a llama-rider...If I could be a bonnie pirate...If I could be an astronaut...If I could be a world famous blogger...If I could be a justice on any one court in the world...If I could be married to any current famous political figure...

If I could be a musician, the instrument would be my voice and I would sing praises to God all the day long. I would travel everywhere they would let me so I could share the praise of my risen Lord and Saviour so others would be able to spend eternity with me, continuing to sing praises to God.

If I could be a linguist, (yes there is a small amount of hidden desire to be this) I would learn the machinations of as many languages as possible and translate Bibles into languages that have yet to have that done. I would travel to remote parts of the world and meet people that have no way of speaking with the “outside” world and create a bridge by deciphering their language. Then I would get the Bible to them in their language.

If I could be an athlete, first I would finally know what fit is. HeeHee. I would be a soccer (futebol) player and travel the world kicking around. Love soccer.

If I llama-rider, I would have the best of times getting around Peru and the Incan ruins in Manchu Pichu. I would help give llama-riding tours and as a side-line, I would harvest the llama wool and make clothes to sell to people after their riding tour.

If I could be a missionary, I would go to Brazil and follow whatever else God has in mind for me to do there. Oh wait, that is what God has said is going to happen so no real “if” in that statement. ;)

Okay, now that part where I tag another. I have seen this on several other’s sites already so I will try a couple of folks I hope read my blog at least on occasion. Heater, LL and Ashlee, you have been tagged. Have fun and have a great day.

Those are the two words I would use to describe my state of being right now.

I am overwhelmed with school. I have not been in school in over a decade and everything with this class has me on edge. I am doing well and enjoying it for the most part. I just don't want to mess up. That hangs over my head. Satan likes to whisper words of failure and incompetence.

I am also overwhelmed with work. It is irritating and I am being micromanaged by a multitude of people. That makes me feel like the world is trying to crash down around my ears.

I am melancholy because things don't feel like they are going well in my life. Again, satan likes to whisper lies in my ear and when I feel blah or sad, I tend to listen. My mom is leaving to return to Brazil today and that adds to my melancholy also.

All of these things have me looking to the Lord. I have not been seeking Him with a fervent heart. I hav held Him at a distance and I am feeling that in my life.

Sorry for the somber, just trying to be honest. See, I do feel a little better even now for having been honest in this open forum.

Have a blessed day and seek the Lord with all your heart and being.

I am so trying to put off putting together the information I need to deal with for my part of the group project for my class. I have the information collected and read now I need to put in a cohesive order and I just don't want to deal with it at all.

UGH!!

So please pray for me to get this done.

Look, I did it, I added some links. Thanks H, I copied some source off your blog and got my links started. I feel like a technoplegic with this blog sometimes. I will do better. I may add and take away now that i feel a bit more comfortable with this.

May God bless your day in an unexpected fashion. Look for him in the silence and in the small things, he is there.

Love, love, love.

I have dropped home to heat up my amazing leftovers from the other night. Woo hoo, real food for lunch and I don't have to pay and arm and a leg for. Even better.

I thought I would take a moment to relfect on stuff.

God is good!!!!

Mom is home for a visit and I am loving having her here. As always it will be hard when she leaves. We are going to Virginia this upcoming weekend to go to achurch there that will be sending a group this summer. I enjoy seeing who loves my parents almost as much as me. I will be more just along for the ride but I will get that time with mom.

I got to see some old college friends this past weekend. Went up to Independence to H's house and was part of a Girl's weekend. Got to meet K and see S again. It was fun times. I am glad to start to reestablish old relationships. Girls, I am praying for each of your lives and for God's direction and protection over your lives.

I am doing well. About a week ago, I got the CPAP (continuous positive air pressure) machine to use as I sleep. I am using it pretty well and am begining to feel the positive benifit of it. Yeah!!

I am probably overactive in church but God is blessing. I am working on giving Him the glory becuase that is where it belongs in the first place. God is gracious because I have been able to see Him working in other friends' lives as well and that is absolutely AMAZING.

Just a little ditty. Love you all and I am praying for God's blessings in all your lives.
