My Favorite Monk Joke

In an ancient monastery in a faraway place, a new monk arrived to join his brothers in copying books and scrolls in the monastery's scriptorium. He was assigned as a rubricator on copies of books that had already been copied by hand.

One day he asked Father David (the Armarius of the Scriptorium), "Does not the copying by hand of other copies allow for chances of error? How do we know we are not copying the mistakes of someone else? Are they ever checked against the original?"

Fr. David is set back a bit by the obvious logical observation of this youthful monk. "A very good point, my son. I will take one of the latest books down to
the vault and compare it against the original."

Fr. David went down to the secured vault and began his verification. After a day had passed, the monks began to worry and went down looking for the old priest. They were sure something must have happened. As they approached the vault, they heard sobbing and crying. When they opened the door, they found Fr. David sobbing over the new copy and the original ancient book, both of which were opened before him on the table. It was obvious to all that the poor man had been crying his old heart out
for a long time.

"What is the problem Reverend Father?" asked one of the monks.

"Oh, my heavens," sobbed the priest, "the word is 'CELEBRATE'!"

American Idol - Season 7 - David Cook

I had only watch brief bits of the past six seasons of American Idol...but for some reason I got caught up in this one, of course it didn't hurt that there was a hometown favorite...David Archuleta. And Archie is sweet, but he just doesn't have enough stage presence...yet, and one day it will be his turn!

Okay, I admit it...I voted for David Cook!!! Even if I am old enough to be his mother, he just has incredible appeal and I love his voice. I read an article about women over 40 loving him and it was okay because he is OVER the legal age limit. I still wouldn't date anyone in their 20's but I can certainly "admire" them from a distance!

I was so impressed by his versions of "Billie Jean" and "Hello"...honestly, there isn't a song I didn't like and I have downloaded all of them!

Way to go David Cook!!!

How Time Flies...

I really like my car, but my A/C went out just in time for the hot weather! No problem, I have a bumper to bumper warranty! I take it to the dealership, duh, the warranty has expired...last April. I can't believe that I have had my car for five years...dang, it seems like just two! What's a girl to do? And I can't count on the stimulus check because I owe the IRS lots of money, so they will probably keep it.

As my brother always tells me "it sucks to be you". This week it does...oh well, there's always tomorrow!! LOL!!!
