How I Spent Christmas

  1. Alone - except for my cat, Boris.  Hubster spent the day at main ranch and tended to the cattle.
  2. In a Blizzard.
  3. Talked to every one of my siblings and wished them and their families a Merry Christmas.
  4. Watched "Rachel Got Married" - a good movie about a dysfunctional family.  Love Ann Hathaway's work in this one.
  5. Had toast for Christmas dinner.  Splurged and put PB & J on top!  
  6. Did yoga.  Yeah!!! 
  7. Searched for friends - and found a few - on FB.  (Double cool).
  8. Chased Boris around the house.
  9. Talked with various people on the phone, like good friend Becky and mother-in-law Ella.
  10. Took a hot, leisurely bath and shaved my legs (ok, too much information I know, but it's what I did!).
  11. Searched for fun and unusual sights on the internet.  Didn't find anything that tripped my trigger.
  12. Read other people's blogs.  There is some hilarious stuff out there. (Blase, keep writing hon!)
  13. Did my nails.
  14. Thought about doing some bookwork....then stopped that thought right quick - it was Christmas for heavensake!
  15. Paced between the frontroom window and kitchen window hourly trying to decide how much snow we were getting and if was any worse out from the last time I made the trip.
  16. Checked http://www.weather.com/ often to make sure that yes, we were STILL in a Blizzard. 
  17. Made some popcorn and hotchocolate - cuz that's what you do in a Blizzard when stormed in at home, alone.
  18. Alphabetized my cd collection by artist and title. 
  19. Searched Amazon.com for some books I want to order.
  20. Fell asleep thankful that everyone I love was safe.

Welcome to the Shit Show!

 I'm trying not to breaking one of my hard and fast rules - do not  talk politics or religion .  But for the love of all things holy, I cannot not   comment on the total shit show of last nights presidential debate.     America, we're screwed!     I want the chance to write in a candidate.  I think anyone would be a better option than the two we have right now.  UGGGHHHH!   I'm soooooo tired of the bickering . right vs. left.  I'm tired of the media, I'm tired of black lives matter (ALL LIVES MATTER, shit heads!), cop kiilings, riots and the disrespect and downright hatred  of the flag, of our Country!   I'm scared for everyone concerned.  I feel  the anger, the despair, the lack of consideration and respect - not only for the country -but for humanity .   I heard Savanna Guthrie , NBC Today Show, say that Social Media was the cesspool of society."   I couldn't have said it bet...

Merry Christmas!

For Christmas 2022, I had promised Blaine that I would take him to Million (aka Michael) and get his UJ (University of Jamestown) tattoo recolored.  Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate and I couldn't fulfill my promise to him. Christmas 2023 I was  subtly  reminded that I owed him his gift from last year!  He forgets  to brush his teeth or clean his apartment but gosh darn he sure remembers if it's something he wants!  Michael was all about making it look like new again and hooked us up with an appointment yesterday.   What a day!!! We started out with coffee and egg McMuffins and plenty of conversation as we rolled down the interstate! I think his mouth was going faster than we were traveling! We covered so man y topics! We laughed a lot but cried a bit too as we remembered the farm and grandpa and grandma. After the tattoo, we went ro Scheels for a few more Christmas gifts.. a swim bag for his Special Olympics swimming gea...

A Repeat...

Once in a while I receive a request to "repeat" a blog post. This is one of the repeat posts that I hope you all enjoy the 2nd time around. It was originally posted in May of 2008. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- Greetings Everyone, I received an email about 9 years ago from a far-away-friend that touched me to the core. It was entitled "Life's Lessons." I printed it out and tucked it away to read when I needed some inspiration. I ran across it awhile ago and, not surprisingly, it touched me as much now as it did then. So, to my friend Lee - wherever you may be, thank you for sending me something so beautiful and for thinking of me. Be well My friend. Life's Lessons Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, they serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be; your ...
