Back Problems

October 27, 2009

I have no idea how I hurt my back but I did.  It isn’t even my lower back which is where I normally injure it.  Nope, somehow I strained the muscles in the middle of my back about 2″ below my shoulder blades.  Oh my how it hurts. 
We played out at the dog park for [...]

Somebody Stop Me Please

October 21, 2009

What I need is one of those invisible dog fences at the entrance to every store so that, as I get closer and closer, I get a shock. Kind of like shark shields too. That way, every time I get near a Barnes and Nobel, Target, Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Borders, etc., I will not be [...]

Christmas with the Kranks

October 21, 2009

I probably wrote about this movie last Christmas too but oh well.  I got it from Netflix and watched it again tonight.  I’m going to have to buy it to include in my Christmas movie selection.
The movie stars Tim Allen, Jamie Lee Curtis and Dan Aykroyd.  The Kranks (Tim and Jamie) have decided that since [...]

Sleepwalking Again

October 15, 2009

Sometimes I feel like I am sleepwalking through life.  I know most of you know what I’m talking about – I’m not putting forth any real effort to make life better or worse.  I’m floating down the middle of the river without a care which might sound ok but in reality, it isn’t.  Life is [...]

Training

October 11, 2009

Well, I start training tomorrow to be a Certified Training Officer for dispatch.  I believe I will be a good trainer but am not so sure I will be good at all the darn paperwork involved.  It is phenomenal.  I do not like a lot of paperwork – ugh.
My headache is still with me – [...]

College

October 8, 2009

I am evaluating my spending and my bills to find a way to help my son go to college. I believe if I could cut down on what I spend, I could afford to give him $300 a month which isn’t that much when it comes to college, that is for sure. I can start [...]

Writing

October 8, 2009

Ok, I’m not really writing when it is more typing the story into the computer after having it written out long-hand.  I want to write on my other story but this one has to be put in first so have been doing that for the past couple hours.  I am getting close to being done…I [...]

My Ocean

October 6, 2009

I’m at home watching an episode of Columbo – one of the new ones I just ordered came in the mail today.  It is the episode where Columbo is on a cruise ship and has to solve a murder involving one of the passengers and one of the staff.  I like this one and am [...]

One Hundred Percent

September 30, 2009

I feel 100 % better after getting about 9.5 hours of sleep straight through in my bed.  I was going to sleep on the recliner, got all settled and then decided it was bogus – that I wanted to stretch out in my bed – so I put the dogs in the kennel and did just [...]

Mouse

September 22, 2009

I love my new laptop – it is fantastic.  I love the keyboard and the picture is the best I’ve ever seen on a computer.  I can’t complain about it at all…except for the mouse pad.  They have it positioned right where your hand has to go to reach the keyboard so while I’m typing [...]
