I wonder if ...YESSSS I am done with work EARLY AND I got my biggest pay check so far yippeee I know 325$ dose not sound like much for a weeks pay to some. For me it is a nice fat check and it says "BMW worked her butt off last week"

I wonder that me and my best closest dear freind will go out to dinner before slam my treat. I wonder how I wish I could have Goofy Doody Nikki and Alffe Mom eat and go to slam with me too. That would be sooo soo sooo much fun!!

I wonder that I am competeing in the poetry slam tonight and I will share my poems with you all this weekend weather I win or not. Last year I came in 4th out of 17 only top 3 get $ and prizes but all who compete get a member ship to the arts center and all its programs and stuff.

I wonder that my cold still has me under the weather some but I am on the side of recovering I think at least I have my voice Alffe mom and not coughing like over weekend.

I wonder that I CAN dance circle around those kittys cus IT FRIDAY!!!!!!

I wonder that I am going to grab nap before my fun night.

I wonder if I can send all of you a bit of my good mood , my energy and positive attitude ready ..... here it comes ... catch it



PEACE
BMW

I too wonder how ((BMW)) did at the slam last night?! Come let us know girl! I hope you had a fantastic time and I would have loved to have been there! Win or lose you are very talented and one terrific Angel friend

I wonder when ((Alffe)) IS getting her snow tires on? Today?

I wonder that my tummy is in knots today......National Survivors of Suicide Day ...............

I wonder if I can leave hugs for everyone

[tamiloo]

I wonder how Nikki thumb is going...sorry you broketed it...

I wonder how great it is that my doc gave me different pain killers. Wow. I feel so good, even when I forget to take them!

I wonder how great it is that sometimes I feel almost as good as I did before the surgery. My doc is amazed...me too. I still pull the pitty card...you know...It's only been about a month and a half.

I wonder how much I love all you! I won't try to put down the name because I'd miss someone...I just loves ya all!!

[Burntmarshmallow]

I wonder that.....I did not win . The reason I have been doing this stuff is to over come my hang ups with T.N. my hate for myself??? or maybe sometimes it seems like a dislike at people whos mouths and faces work normal with out pain or tremors . for those who can speak words correctly and in the right order... stuff I have had since accident to deal with to face and over come. and that is my prize... being able to do it. it is not for the crowd or any one else at the slam it is all about me. standing in front of room full of people and speaking with my T.N. and steel plated jaw and neuro stim and having to have speach coach and relearn some words and the crowd cant tell a thing .it is like I fooled the whole room .Like I too am one of those people whos mouth works correctly with out pain, tremors. It is facing that scary fear of when the next attack could come. maybe right in middle of slam . yeah it is all about me and nothing about any one else in the world. So heres how it went...
There are 3 judges an announcer and a time keeper, along with the audience .
You get a few sheets of paper a pen . The speaker says the subject/prompt over the mic and you have 5 mins to write a poem. After 5 mins time is called.Then each contestant takes the mic and performs/ recites their poem. There are 3 rounds .

The first prompt /subject was...”So it wont get lost”

Grab a pen and empty page
Write it down
So it wont get lost
Grasp it tight
With all your might
So it wont get lost
Hold it dear
with love and care
so it wont get lost
Label it
Title it
Give it a name
So it wont get lost
Memorize every detail
So it wont get lost
In the passing of time
Remember often
So it wont get lost

* * *
2ed prompt subject was ...”On Balance”

In pain laying in sweat
Mind spinning
round and round
Like a top
Slowing and losing balance
Wishing praying
hoping for another
Jolt of motion forward
To spin
In power
A whirl wind of energy
A circle of never ending balance

* * *
3ed prompt subject was ... “Chain saw”

The thought caught me
Stung me boring
Tearing like a chain saw
Bleeding a purpose
Spilling drops of stubborn persistence
I gather my strength
and proceeded
like a chain saw
buzzing smoking
cutting threw this poetry slam
Like a chain saw.
* * *
I wonder if I can strech my arm all the way across the ocean to Koala and give her a long lasting hug of strength and love

I wonder that I worked all day today then came home went food shopping and the store was crazy busy. I wonder that it is alomost 10 p.m. and I have not eatten anything all day..But dinner with best dear pal last night was a blast .after slam we played dirty dominos .

I wonder how glad I am Abbie got her mail that meens super yappa got hers to.

I wonder if Tammy needs a hug she got one anyways.

I wonder that my wonder is real long and i have tons of wonders but have hogged much to much of this thread.

I wonder That all of you will be in my prayers tonight and tomorrow.
.
PEACE

BMW............You are a winner!!!!! You don't have to win 1st, 2nd, or even 3rd place to be a "winner" in my book....you are brave enough to actually DO something to face your fear and that's worth more than any amount of money, I think. I mean, I don't actually know too much, but it would seem like it to me. I'd be thrilled to be able to do something like that. Anyway, I'm really proud of you! Oh yeah, I guess this is a wonder so let me rephrase it:
BMW....I wonder that you're a winner! And I hope you and your friend had a great dinner.

I wonder that Nikki wondered if I'd be back - I'm baaaaaack. For now, anyway. I've been "around"...kinda lurking but not saying much lately. Really sick days lately and I thought that maybe everyone had forgotten me. Glad that you haven't. Sounds like you've been taking a lot of steps.

I wonder that I really don't like this time of year. It "should" be a good time, I know ....and I do try to make it good for my babes but I just don't have that Christmas spirit. It's so good to have my friends here who understand - and I can really be myself with all of you. I think that you are all my biggest blessing of 2008 and I am SO thankful for each of you. I really do think of you as my family. Face it, you're stuck with me.

I wonder that Tammy's new medication must be great! And I'm happy for her and hubby. Pain med that works really rocks! And I'm glad that your surgery and recovery went well (and continues to go well!)

I wonder that I missed Meg's birthday and I'm sorry. I hope it was the best one you've ever had!

I wonder that Moi and SpMoss and kids are doing well? Excited about holidays? Adjusting? Sleeping? Any/all of the above? Hope so!!!

I wonder that I'm sitting in front of a wonderful fire in the fireplace tonight and it feels great because it's really cold outside! I LOVE the fireplace and a blanket!!!

[Burntmarshmallow]

I wonder if Hippiechick sound like she is in the PERFECT situation and place for....making smores . and if she dose make some smores.....

I wonder if she will make one for me and I will trade her a smores for a cuppa .

I wonder if she knows that all of us are GLAD SHESSS BACK!!!!!


PEACE
BMW

[BJ]

I wonder if I can thank Wren for the book. It was delivered today and that it was sent with love and special care He delivered.

I wonder how draining it was watching the National Survivors of Suicide Telecast today.

I wonder if BMW knows she's always a winner in my heart

I wonder if tomorrow I'll have the energy to post about my trip to the Big Apple. It was bitter sweet.

I wonder if I can thank Bizi for chatting with me tonight and Pamster

I wonder if I can cut my wonders short because my heater is broken and I have no heat, it's 20 degrees, and they can't get the part until Tuesday. Hooper needs to keep her mom warm tonight.

I wonder if I can leave hugs and prayers for the room

[tamiloo]

I wonder about hugs...when I get the Olhipie out of bed in the morning I lean into him to keep him standing against the bed and we hug each other. He can't stand...didn't know he was so tall...

[Nik-key]

I wonder how impressed I am with ((BMW)) I can't put my thoughts together in 5 days say nothing about 5 minutes!!! Those were wonderful poems!
From one TN sufferer to another... I am so proud of you!!

I wonder how good it was to hear from ((hippiechick)) I agree with you, this group is wonderful!! It is all the better for you being a part of it

I wonder how glad I am to hear ((Tammy)) is getting much needed relief!!

I wonder how ((Koala)) and her husband are doing today? I have been keeping you in my prayers and I hope his surgery was a huge success!!

I wonder if ((BJ)) has an electric blanket? Or a space heater? BRRRRRRR Please let us know when you get some heat! Extra big hugs to keep you warm

I wonder that now I am craving a smores

for all
