Lemonade Standby

 Instead of resisting the idea of a lemonade stand for weeks, and finally giving in,
 I decided that this year I would keep ahead of the curve and have supplies on hand. If the mood arises, as it is bound to do,

 we're ready to set up a lemonade stand at the drop of a hat. That way, all those weeks of ramping up (by my kids) and delay tactics (by me)  can be avoided for what ends up being a very short work day.
Cell phones and debit machines have really taken a bite out of the lemonade stand trade and that tends to be pretty discouraging.  So, we've got the cups, we've got the lemonade crystals, we're ready for when the next entrepreneurial spirit strikes.

Proper Cry

Photo Source:  thesetingstaketime.com  via  Stephanie  on  Pinterest I love to laugh.  I love laughing so hard I lose  control.  I love that release.    For this reason and lots of others, I could not wait to see the blockbuster, Bridesmaids last summer.  Everyone told me, "you are going to pee yourself. It is so FUNNY." And yes, I almost did pee myself, but I also cried through almost the entire last half of the movie.  I did not laugh so hard I cried, I just plain sobbed. I felt really sad watching the story of two friends come to terms with how their friendship was changing.  I was really surprised by my reaction after all the hype about how hilarious the movie was, but I knew why.  The brilliance of this movie was how life can be so hilarious and painful at the same time.    Yesterday, I was on a social networking site and one of the people I follow mentioned that she cried "proper tears" upon reading a story about a woman's tragic childhoo
