   ii Cuidado !!

LLAMA!!


Now if you know where that obscure quote comes from you get a gold star for today. ^_^

Today has been a better day than yesterday. Each day seems to get better. My aunt (my dad's sister) from California flew up here and is staying with my parents. It's nice to have her here since she is helping my mom out and is keeping her (my mom) busy so she isn't so down in the dumps about her brother passing away. My aunt is basically a 60 year old version of me. I basically look at her and know exactly how I am going to be at that age. I really do take after my dad's side of the family. I truly am a Shimura. We went out to dinner and had some yummy Mexican food!

I spoke with my mom last night for quite a while today and she is still very sad about her brother, but she knows he is out of pain and that is much better than the terrible pain he was in during his last weeks. It's been tough, but my family is a bunch of survivors...very little can keep us down. A perfect example of this is my aunt, the wife of my uncle who just past away. She is from Hiroshima. During WW2 she was with her family visiting relatives when the bomb was dropped. Talk about the best timing for a family vacation! Lost everything but never gave up hope. I am sure she will be ok through this difficult time.

I am still in a bit of a dark mood, but it is slowly getting better. Speaking of dark...


Fuma, may be dark but his normal personality is definitely not brooding.


Age and friendship. I was thinking about this today when thinking about my age difference with many of you. Many people have very strong opinions on age and dating...but what about age and friendship? Do you feel that there are/should be/aren't any restrictions on age differences with friends? Are most of your friends the same age or do you have many friends of many different ages?

I feel friendship has no age limit. When I was working with senior citizens I became friends with many of them. One named Gladys was 102! She was a riot! She would talk about some of the other seniors as "kids". I have always had many friends who were older than me. My best friend Jen is 5 years older than me and we get along great. I also get along great with her kids, Age to me doesn't matter if you have similar hobbies, activities and sense of humor. Definitely sense of humor!


You're how old?!?


I guess that is about it. The only thing I can think of that I didn't cover in this post is the random llama picture. I just though he was kinda cute. In a town just an hour away from my hometown was a llama who was positively tested for rabies. For those of you who don't know, rabies is transmitted via bodily fluids. Llamas spit when they get upset.

Rabid Llama + Spitting = Danger!


Well, not that dangerous unless you get some spit into your system. Which would be really nasty. Llama spit...ewww!! Now I bet you are wondering where I am going with this. Nowhere. Just something totally random I thought I would share.

Now, go off and visit your other friends on their myO sites. I want to make sure all of you stop by and visit my friend Kieri Norou. She is the one I introduced to the site this past weekend! I am very happy you are here Kieri Norou!! Now everyone stop reading my ramblings and get over to her site...NOW!

I love you all and wish you much happiness and a day free of rabid spitting llamas.
