Escape from Reality

That’s what I need…and I need it NOW!

The weather isn’t doing much for my sunny disposition.  I do yoga, and it helps tremendously, but I long for the days when I can slide my toes in to a pair of flip-flops and skip out the door, feeling the sun on my skin and knowing that when I leave home in the morning I may just actually get back home at night. (sighs).

So, I am doing everything that I can think of to escape from reality.  I take long, hot bubble baths …play soothing music, drink wine (LOTS of wine!, daydream about Bora Bora, listen to Zac Brown Band (ZBB) songs about “toes in the sand” and gaze longingly at pictures of Bora Bora a dear friend has so thoughtfully sent me via email. I know I’m not alone in my misery; every poor NoDak stuck in the frozen tundra is in the exact same boat as me. L

So, what’s new?

Wish I could say a lot, but really, it’s not all that exciting being me right now.  ~L~ 

Ooohhh Wait!! I DO have one thing to report.

I have a mouse in my vehicle!!  (shivers).  Ya....whatsup with that??!

I took my yoga mat out and found  a nice little chew mark on the end , the shape of a half-moon..along with little mouse “calling cards”…if you know what I mean! (snorts)  I was NOT amused.  Hubs, of course, said “set a mouse trap”.  Ok, sure…but how the heck did the lil devil get in there?! And how many are there?  Will one mouse trap be enough??!! Perish the thought!

So, I commence to setting the trap somewhere that I can see it every day.  (Heaven forbid I should catch a mouse and NOT see it!)  I should mention right here and now, that I made the disclaimer right away that if 1) The lil devil went dancing across my dashboard whilst I was driving or 2) The mousetrap snapped at any point during my travels from point A to B, I was NOT responsible for any traffic accidents that might be incurred!  Just sayin!!.

Every morning I load up the 4Runner, I dutifully check the trap.  Nothing. 

Every night I say a prayer that said mouse left for greener pastures (ya, I know! It’s the frozen tundra…there IS NO greener anything in sight!).  Never hurts to try though. (sighs heavily).  Little bugger is probably under my seat munching on the delectable morsels of food that I drop while eating and driving, thinking “man, this is the good life!”  Grrrrrr!

Anywho, when I catch the lil creature, you will ALL hear the shouts of glee and read all about it on this blog.

Until then, life on the frozen tundra goes on.

Namaste’

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 ...
