Feels like a Sunday

December 3, 2009

I think it feels like Sunday to me because I made a big meal – Mom always made big meals on Sundays for everyone to enjoy.    I made roast, mashed potatoes and steamed peas.  It was awesome.  The gravy turned out so good that I’m actually saving the leftover, much to the chagrin of the [...]

I’ve been thinking

November 28, 2009

Something is different in my brain today – I’m not sure why.  I know that sounds ominous but it isn’t.
It is very strange really.  I was listening to Bob Marley, thinking about life, and started thinking about maybe it was time to get into shape and consider dating again.  Usually that takes way more years [...]

Only Time…

November 26, 2009

I have that song in my head by Enya – don’t know why.  That reminds me, I need to charge my mp3 player for my trip tomorrow.  My son is also charging his AND he is bringing his laptop so that will be good.  I doubt he’ll get a wireless signal out in the country [...]

People

November 24, 2009

I am fortunate to have a friend who can always make me laugh.  We can get together and in minutes be laughing so hard people think we are a little kooky.  We can laugh at very simple things and can change a blue day to a sunny one in a blink of an eye.  Even [...]

After Midnight Again

November 24, 2009

Well, I’ve spent hours typing and working on my story.  As of a few minutes ago, I am still almost 4,000 words behind BUT I am more confident I can catch up now.  The story is moving a little bit faster again but still has such a long way to go.  Part of me wishes [...]

Partly Cloudy with Rays of Sun

November 19, 2009

The sun is shining but every time I get excited about it, it goes back behind the clouds.  I’m hoping it will find its way to stay out here in a bit.  I need to walk the dogs and it is a much better experience if the sun is shining.   
Today I am getting the Christmas [...]

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 [...]
