Winter!

I’ve pretty much had enough of it already!

These days I’m bundled up in three layers of clothes just so I can stay warm!  It takes me 15 minutes to pile everything on just to head out the door so I can ride in a cold vehicle.  I know I can use my astro start and warm it up, but have you seen the price of gas lately?  Nope! I’ll pile on another layer of clothing, thank you very much.  I already walk like a stick man…what’s another layer! !

Oh, and while were driving in a cold vehicle, we might as well mention that the snow on my roads gives a whole new meaning to “four wheelin!”  Cripes!!  I lock it in, put the pedal to the metal and hope to hell I make it through and don’t get stuck!

My skin! I’m not EVEN going to mention what the cold weather is doing for my skin!  I own stock in Jergens lotion company right now.  I swear I go through a family size bottle every week!  My hubs won’t see the beauty of my ivory skin until the spring thaw! So I don’t know why I’m so worried about keeping it smooth and supple!

My toes are permanently frozen, I have frostbite on my nose, and if that isn’t enough – my tailbone is bruised (not to mention my ego!) from taking a nice little fall in the grocery store parking lot on Friday! 

Ya, I am NOT amused.  The only thing that is keeping me going today – a Monday of all days!- is the thought of going to the liquor store tonight for some Captain Morgan Parrot Bay Coconut Rum!  Yummmm!!!   If my outside is chilled, at least my innards will be toasty!!  (ha!)

And…have a nice day!!!

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 ...
