WHY I like to look in the mirror!!!

Soooooooooooo you all are probably juuuuuuust DYING to know the answer to this question!!! Rest assured, you will be able to sleep better tonight knowing the answer to this question!!! I'd like to start off by saying, its ALL HANNA's FAULT!!! BAHAHAHA!!! Buuuuuuuuuuuuuut let me explain myself first...OF COURSE there's a STORY!!! Always a story...
.
SOOOOOOO you all know how it is when your single, weeeeeellll at least for me, you have a list of people that IF they don't give they're approval on your latest interest for a future spouse, it AIN'T NEVER gonna happen...you know, your close Fam, mom, sister, pastor and a FEW really, really, really, REALLY close friends!!! Weeeeeeellllll Hanna happens to be one of those peeps on my list!!!

.

Sooooooooo there was this guy I had been crushin on from way, way, waaaaaaaay back in the day,  that her and pretty much none of my friends liked for me. Of course I would always defend the dude, like trying to convince my peeps of him EVEN tho you know deep down inside that if they don't approve it ain't never gonna happen...And every time I would defend this dude, they'd say their famous, good-friend line to me, "We're NOT saying he's isn't a good guy, we're just sayin he wouldn't be good FOR YOU! He wouldn't appreciate the things that make you our Mar Bear!" (So sweet!!) my peeps you know, they're actually really protective of me! (Awwww, I'm wiping a tear remembering, well not really, but it did make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside!!! Buuuuuut I mean REALLY, what guy wouldn't appreciate a purrrrrring wife??? I'm jus sayin!  AHAHAHA!!! ;) Soooooo yeah, they didn't like him for ME...especially HANNA!!!

.

Weeeeeelllll after a while I got over him, heeeeeey you know, outta sight, OUTTA MIND!!! AHAHAHA!!! Anywayz, it dwindled down to just a "conference crush", then it faded into a, "only-if-I-ACTUALLY-talk-to-him-at-the-conference-crush" annnnd well yeah, it faded away till one conference i'm tellin Hanna, like yeah, I'm pretty much just OVER HIM!!! Annnnnnd Hanna, (I'm paraphrasing) says something like, good cuz its not like he's all that anyway! I'm like, weeeeeellll its just that he has REALLY PRETTY BLUE EYES!!! (I know, I know, it seems incriminating actually admitting to liking a guy with such a specific eye color, I actually paused for two seconds in hesitation to weather or not I should ACTUALLY admit to this...then I was like, EH its ME, MARY, its NOT like I really care what anyone thinks anyways...LOL...I have NOTHING to lose except maybe some pride...LOL...buuuuut anyway, soooo yeah, all you single guys out there, the MILLIONS I'm sure that read this blog...annnnnd happen to have blue eyes also, if your reading this and thinking, BLUE EYES??? She must be talking about ME!!! Or  to anyone speculating on WHO, just remember, this is NOT Africa, its a common eye  color...weeeeellll after THE MOST COMMON eye color which is brown!!! Sooooooo it COULD BE YOU or it could be YOUR LITTLE BROTHER...heeeeeey!!!;)

.

Sooooo anyway, yeah I'm just like, yeah its just his eyes, are just sooooo BLUE!!  And Hanna pauses for a moment annnnnnd THEN out of her mouth proceeded some of THE WISEST words I have ever heard in my life...

.
She said, well you know Mary, IF YOU REALLY LIKE BLUE EYES THAT MUCH...

YOU COULD JUST

LOOK IN THE MIRROR!!! 

 She's like, I mean, I'm JUS SAYIN!!!

.

I was like, heeeeeeeeeeey, that's a GOOD IDEA!!! I mean really, quite brilliant I might add!!! Hee, hee!!! Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd soooooooooooo...

.

I'VE BEEN LOOKING

IN THE MIRROR EVER SINCE!!!

#ListenToGoodAdvice

annnnnnd since she spoke these ever, oh so wise words, I have taken them wholly and COMPLETELY to heart!!! SEE, I told you all at the beginning that its ALL Hanna's fault!!! AHAHAHAHA!!!(Love you Hanna, my chocolate-covered-banana!!! Purrrrrr) I'm soooooo glad I have such awesome friends to ALWAYS keep things in perspective for me!!! So now you all know, I look in the mirror cuz I LIKE BLUE EYES...I can NOT lie!!! :)))

Financial WiseDUMB #4

Weeeeeellll its back...
The series that pastors EVERYWHERE have been waiting for, to share with their saints...Yes, that's RIGHT, its the one and only, one-of-a-kind column...

 

 FINANCIAL WISEDUMB with Mary!!!

Its been OVER a year since the last Financial WiseDUMB post, I hope that you all have been financially surviving since then!!! You can refresh your memory with the last one HERE!!!

.

 NOW if there are two people that will appreciate this particular Financial Wisdumb post, its MY MOM and MY BROTHER JOHN!!! They are the two people that will think this is GENIOUS!!! Annnnnd would sooooo DO IT!!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

.

Sooooooooo Sunday night a group of us went to Oreganos to eat, and while we're waiting for our food, they give MJ some pizza dough to play with. I grabbed a piece of it and started playing with it and as I'm playing with it, the most brilliant thought popped into my mind! I thought, "Hey! This is REAL pizza dough!!!" THEN an EVEN MORE brilliant thought went through my mind, "HEY! I could use this, TO MAKE PIZZA!"  my own HOMEMADE PIZZA! Which we all know will taste better than Oreganos anyway!!! Hee, hee! ;)

.

Soooooooooo I decided to tell everyone at the table my brilliant idea! I'm like, hey you guys, THIS IS REAL PIZZA DOUGH that they give the kids!!! I'm like, YOU GUYS!!! We should ALL ask for pizza dough to play with, then we can all take it  home and make our own pizzas!!! Everyone busted up laughing, ME INCLUDED!!! Buuuuuut, even tho I laughed, I'm SOOOO FOR REALZ!!!

 

 Next time we go i'm going to get me a ball of dough annnnnnd i'm gonna take it home ANNNNND make me a mini pizza the next day!!! (Don't worry peeps, I'll blog about that when I do!!!)

.

Buuuuuuuuut really mom's, dad's, Aunts, uncle's, grandparents, nannies, future moms and dads, THINK ABOUT IT!!! This is such a logical idea!!!! You and your hubby splurge one night and take THE WHOLE FAMILY to Oreganos ANNNNNNND everyone gets a ball of dough to play with, annnnnnnnd THEN MOM, you whip out those Ziploc bags and the next day, BAM, the whole family makes mini pizzas together for dinner!!! Not only are you saving your money, your saving TIME annnnnd to top it all off, your making family memories!!!

I know, I know, NOT ONLY was this post a MONEY-SAVING POST, IT WAS ALSO A TIME SAVER, no fear, you only need to thank me ONCE not TWICE!!! Hee, hee!!! Yes, yes, this is the mind of Mary at its absolute brilliance!!! Sometimes, I just can't help buuuuut LOVE the way God made my brain to be!!! Purrrrrrrrrrr!!!!

♥Mary Frances :)

P.S. IF you do this, I would LOVE to hear about it!!! Please email me with pics and the whole shebang!!! you NEVER KNOW, I just may feature you in my Wisedumb book one day!!! :)))) maryfranceswriting@gmail.com

Annnnnnnnnd just the other day I found the very first of my writings on the bookshelf in my room!!! 16 years later, I'm laughing HYSTERICALLY at my writings and WHAT I thought should be done when a guy dumps!!!

 Sooooo in my story this girl Melanie Edwards, the main character gets dumped by her boyfriend at Dairy Queen!!!! Sooooo guess what she does???? When she gets up to leave, she takes her melted Sundae and dumps it over her NOW ex's head!!! AHAHAHAHAHA!!! And then it says that there was melted ice cream, whip cream and syrup dripping down his face! And smack dab in the middle of his head there is a CHERRY ON TOP!!!!

Bahahahaahahahahahaahahhahahaha!!! I'm like, WOW MARY!!! WOW!!! Buuuuuuuuuut then second thought i'm like,WHY didn't I ACTUALLY do this when I did get dumped by my boyfriend???? Like, HELLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOO MARY!!!!

Financial WiseDumb!!! :) #1

TODAY is the FIRST post...

 of a BRAND NEW monthly column

Okaaaaaaaay sooooo this FIRST post is especially dedicated to ALL the PARENTS out there!!! How many of you parent's have children, THAT LIKE DISNEYLAND??? EVEN If they are too young now, at some point or another, your children WILL want to go to Disneyland!!!

.

Disneyland is EXPENSIVE!!! The average price for ONE TICKET at Disneyland is about $80 bucks!!! NOW EVEN if you have ONLY ONE CHILD, you STILL have to buy TWO MORE tickets for YOU(The Parents) thats racking up to $240 bucks...OH BUUUUUT you know that MOST people have MORE THAN ONE CHILD BAM we're now already up to $320 and if your a child LIKE ME...from a family of FIVE KIDS..

You can plan RIGHT now on just waiting till your old enough to WORK and buy YOUR OWN TICKET to go to Disneyland!!! Howeverrr...this past May, I, MARY FRANCES GINTY, discovered an amaZing, money-saving adventure, that is JUST as fun, if NOT FUNNER, that will save your children from feeling like they are MISSING OUT on the whole DISNEYLAND experience!!!

.

You see, a bunch of the married couples in our church decided to take a trip to DISNEYLAND, without THE KIDS!!! Sorta like a marriage retreat or something!!! Sooooo guess who was watching some of the children while their parent's were at Disneyland??? YES...yours truley...MAR BEAR!!! (After all...I am SINGLE...and thats what we singles do! LOL)

.

Now, the kids were a little bummed about NOT getting to go to Disneyland...buuuuuut...by the end of the week...weeeeeelll seee THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED...

.

I STARTED DRIVING THAT WEEK!!! I was kinda-sorta-pushed to get it down....ya know since I had to drive them to school and stuff!!! Sooooooo they got to experience ME LEARNING TO DRIVE!!!

.

I'll never forget their words, "Mary! Riding with you is sooooo much FUN!!!! Everywhere we go its all bumpy and swervy!!!" "Yeah, Mary! Riding with you is like going on a roller coaster!" "I LOVE the way you drive Mary!!!" (Touches my heart)

.

See RIGHT THERE parents!!! Have your children ride in MY VAN, annnnnd they will have the satisfaction of a total ROLLER COASTER experiance...WITHOUT THE DISNEY PRICE!!! You don't need to buy NO DISNEYLAND TICKETS!!!

.

You may be saying, OH Mary YOUR TO FAR...NOW WHAT??? Parent's, don't get upset...JUST STICK your child in the vehicle of ANY person that is learning to drive and they will get THE SAME UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIANCE!!!

.

However, OTHER DRIVERS will just be a temporary roller coaster experiance, I ON THE OTHER HAND, am permanent,  you do NOT have to worry about ME going out of business with roller coaster driving...it will ALWAYS be there for you parent's when you need ME!!! Annnnnnnnnd HEEEEEEy...

IF YOU WANT...

.

I'll even throw on some MINNIE EARS!!!

NOW thats the FULL DISNEY AFFECT!!!

MY PRICE???

All I ask is for you to fill my tank with gas!!!

I know, I know...

WHAT AN AWESOME MONEY SAVING DEAL!!!

Plus with my MONEY-SAVING DEAL...you don't even need to worry about THE LONG WAIT IN LINES!!! The cost of a hotel, food, SOUVENIERS...the costs just keep piling on!!! Today IS THE DAY, to start making SMART financial decisions!!!

$60 tank a gas OR $340+

THE CHOICE IS YOURS PEOPLE!!!

More money-saving WISEDUMB next month...DON'S MISS IT!!!
