Good Morning!!!

Oh, I know!  You are probably thinking “what’s so good about it?!” 

Well, one could say, that it is good because:  we draw breath and our heart beats, we have another day during which to impact someone’s life. Or maybe it is good because we are doing something that we truly love and get great enjoyment from it.  While I know that some days are tougher than others (boy do I know it!), I also know that each day is a gift and should not be taken lightly.  And by now you are probably saying, “enough with the happy bulls**t Sherry!”  ~LOL~

My sister is really enjoying her day!  She was part of a group that won $250,000 in the lottery.  Yeppers!  She was one excited cookie!  Though she has to split with 18 other people, AND take taxes out, she’s still richer today than she was on Monday!.  Good for her!  Now, I  texted my cousins in California and Val said, “soooo, another trip to Reno?”  ~LOL~  Absolutely, and I’m sticking VERY close to my sister! 

 Spent last Sunday taking down sandbags at my brothers house.  Yuck!  We left quite a bunch out there yet – on the south side of the house.  So, I suppose if my brother has enough beer on hand (Terry, if you read this, I drink Coors Light!), I’ll be spending a day down there this weekend to take them down.  The dike will be started in June, so next year we can sit on it and watch the river rise and not have to lift a stinkin sandbag! (Ha! Take THAT river!!).

I had an awesome workout at the gym last night; I worked hard and felt good afterwards.  Then I stepped on the scale this morning and saw I gained 1.5 pounds.  WTF!!  ~L~  Must be muscle!  J  When I look at where I was 10 years ago and the progress I’ve made in weight loss, strength, and flexibility – I feel quite proud of myself.  I’m in better shape at age 47 (ok, almost 48) than I was in my 20’s.   Yeah!  J  I have a session with Mark (my new trainer) tomorrow.  I’m pretty sure he’s going to make sure that I suck air on those damn “mountain climber” and “burpee” exercises.  That’s alright Mark…I can handle anything you throw at me! 

OK folks…time for me to go.  I hope everyone has a good day!

Sherry

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 ...
