Fabulous Friday

I hope everyone is having a Fabulous Friday!!  I can tell you this – I haven’t met a Friday yet that I haven’t liked!  J 

Today I indulged in my “once in a while” guilty pleasure; a chocolate chip muffin!  Oh my gosh!  It was freshly baked and still warm.  Coupled with a piping hot cup of New England Blend Coffee, well let’s just say it was pure ambrosia!!  If truth be told, I only had ½ of the muffin as I didn’t want to sabotage my weight loss efforts too much. 

Yes folks, you heard correctly.  Once more, I am watching my weight…go up, and up, and up.  ~L~  Seems that when I give myself permission to eat on special occasions (such as my birthday), I go for the gusto!   Indulge in caramel rolls, pizza – with extra cheese – Mike’s Hard Lemonade (several of them!) and I find myself up 4lbs on the scale.  I know, what WAS I thinking!!!

So now I get to spend even MORE time at the gym than I normally have been and I’m now in “diet  purgatory!”  ~L~  Oh well, it’s all about choices and consequences, right?   

As usual, another busy weekend ahead of me.  I’m hoping I’ll find a little bit of downtime to finish up on some emails I’ve been working on, catch up on some bookwork, and maybe find a little time to snuggle up on the couch and read a good book!

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 ...
