Ok....

Susan's blog is very deep. I am very impressed. No really I am! I am not a deep person right now!!! I am a cranky #$%^&*! I really have very little to write about lately. Haven't seen chicken man in a few days. (scary that this is something important in my life!) Nothing on the dating front.(well no more than what has been going on) Nothing exciting happening in my life at this moment. But don't get me wrong. Nothing exciting also means nothing bad!!! I may not be deep, intellectual or even slightly interesting...but hey, I am good with that! So to all you fellow boring, shallow and lazy people out there just like me....Have a nice boring day! And may the weekend find you extra lazy and dull!

Prayers Requested..

I received an email the other day from a friend of mine. She used to be my roommate about 12 or so years ago. Instead of explaining her situation this is a copy of what she wrote....

"Hi Sandi & Will,
Hope everyone had a great Christmas. We celebrated with my family this year. It's the first time since we've been married. Robb actually had the day off. That was the good news...the bad news is that my mom has Melanoma throughout her body. We found out the day after Thanksgiving that it was Melanoma, 2 weeks later after many tests the doctor told us mom only has 4-6 months to live (that's with treatment). She actually feels pretty good & the doctors think it's a miracle that she is not bed ridden. She began radiation shortly after Thanksgiving & just finished a round of Chemo. We are truly praying for a miracle for a complete healing in her body. Heather is getting married in February and mom plan on being there, she even booked her annual vacation to Nantucket with dad the end of July. She doesn't feel it's her time to go and is totally expecting God to heal her. I come up every weekend and do my best to help dad out. She has lost feeling in her legs below her knees, kind of like they're always asleep, because of a tumor pressing on her spine but she's still walking around. Please keep her in your prayers. Just found out today that they had to stop radiation for a couple of days because her blood platelets, which are supposed to be 150 are at 60, we're praying that this will improve in the next few days or she may have to have a blood transfusion. On top of all that Robb's grandma died on December 20th & they had the funeral on the 22nd. Merry Christmas it was not but we are thankful for a God that gets us through every situation and a wonderful family (and church family) to help us along the way. If you're ever in Stroudsburg on a Sunday you should stop in at the church and see us. It's on Ann Street behind the Ribbon Factory. Again, please pray for mom.
Love,
Melissa"


Please Keep Melissa and her family in your prayers.
Thank you.
Sandi

Chicken Man Strikes again!

Time for the Chicken Report! It has been some time since I have reported to you on chicken man. Mostly cause the holidays kept me busy. Well yesterday he came in and dropped off the latest in rubber chickens. This one is edible. Now mind you I won't eat it! I offered $5.00 to any of my co-workers who would eat this gummy chicken confection, but alas no takers. William is begging me to let him eat it....the child has no good sense! I have posted pictures of some of the rubber chickens below. Past and present! I have one more chicken at work that I have not photographed yet! But I am hoping to get one soon!
Well... that is all for the Chicken Report for now!
Later!

Photos of Rubber Chickens

These are the first of the rubber chickens of the month. I have one more I will take a photo of at a later time and show you. When you squeeze the smaller chicken what looks like a cracked egg (yolk and white) comes out its butt. The other two just feel weird.
This one is a gummy chicken... The package is a bit on the retro side... Says it is lemon flavored...eww!
