Do you color inside the lines? Use wired colors? Do you color at all? Do you have a box of 64 Crayolas ofr those high stress days?

If you were accused of being a Christian, would your enemies have enough evidence to convict you? -Ralph Waldo Emerson
If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him keep pace with the music he hears, however measured or far away. -Henry David Thoreau
Pray as if everything depended on God, and work as if everything depended upon man. - Cardinal Francis J. Spellman
yeah I only use crayons.. Especially when I have to write business documents.. I only use crayons and even sign my checks in crayon. Last year I heard some new revolutionary writing instrument. Well its not really an "instrument" per say.. It is a Turkey feather and you dip it in black substance.. It seems to be the rave these days.
I always liked best the times we got to cut the picture out. Then I could disregard the lines as irrelevant, but still look good. You know, I still like to disregard the lines, but still stay within the assignment. So, do we really learn all we need to know in Kindergarten?
BTW- crayons are just too waxy for me. I like a colored pencil better. More shades that way. And more control. And I love control *she laughs evilly*

Compassion is the sometimes fatal capacity for feeling what it is like inside somebody else's skin. It is the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too. - Frederick Buechner
If society prospers at the expense of the intangibles, how can it be called progress?
Give me a qrayon and I just go so far the other way you can't tell what the point is. Kind of like that sentence.

"I am a Canadian by birth, but I am a Highlander by blood and feel under an obligation to do all I can for the sake of the Highlanders and their literature.... I have never yet spoken a word of English to any of my children. They can speak as much English as they like to others, but when they talk to me they have to talk in Gaelic."
-Alexander Maclean Sinclair of Goshen (protector of Gaelic Culture)
I've always been a good girl, I have! I was very careful to stay within the lines, make things nice and neat and pretty. Now, at this stage in my life ( ) my hubby's starting to finally convince me that I don't have to be such a good girl. I can actually have a little fun, and maybe learn to "think outside the box!" I'm trying to learn, I really am!!
I still have my big box of Crayola crayons from when I was about, oh maybe 10 or 11 years old. It has the crayon sharpener in the back, remember those? That box has seen a LOT of use, and the crayons are mostly halves now, but they're still good to go!

Wow! I didn't know crayons could survive that long. I didn't know we even had crayons that long ago.
Sorry! Shot was there, I just took it before Peckery did!

Normal is a relative term. For some reason it is not a term my relatives use to describe me.

I was always very good................depending upon your perspective of course. I ALWAYS colored within the lines. In fact, my mother told me out of all her children I was the only one who did! Maybe I was anal retentive even at that age. My hugo box of crayons was my prized possession! Today, I still color within the lines!
