Hello Again

Seems like the only time I get to write on my blogs is on Sundays when life is a little bit slower for me. It is what it is; I'm not going to stress out about it...life is too short to stress.

It's 3 days until Christmas.  Amazing how fast time is going.  I have everything ready  or as ready as it will be.  T's gifts were ordered late (had trouble finding them on the net), so they'll be arriving after Christmas.  Again, nothing to stress over .  He knows one of them, the other will be a surprise.

We normally order Oysters to be shipped in from the west coast, but that too got late; we'll have oysters for New Years.   Hmmm, a bit of procrastination on my part this year.  It was hard to get in to the Christmas spirit this year. 

What else is going on? 
  • I'm on a two week hiatus from teaching yoga.  Attendance has been low with the holidays so I figured I'd take my usual two weeks off and let my body regroup and everyone else do their holiday preparations.
  • The NDSU Bison are heading to Texas for a *hopefully* 3peat.  I watched the game on Friday night and was quite proud of them.  Bison Nation!
  • I opened my mouth and insert foot - again.  This time at the expense of my sister Peggy. I was working out with my trainer on Thursday night.  As we were discussing next week's schedule, I learned that he is going to be alone on Christmas Eve.  He has a client on Christmas Eve and another one on Christmas Day (shame on whomever they are!), so he's staying in town and will be alone.   I was like, "oh no!  You should come to my sisters house and be with us".   (Hmmmm, sorry Peggy!).  I did speak with Peggy yesterday and she is fine with it so now waiting to hear if he'll join us.   This could be both good and bad.  He'll be watching what I'm eating and drinking.  Yikes!!  :)
  • My good friend Georgia has asked me to watch after her cats Smoky and Zoey while she is home for Christmas.  This will be much a much welcomed task for me as I miss interaction with animals, specifically cats, as I miss my Boris terribly.   So today I'm going in to town with the sole purpose of playing with them.  Well, ok...and to go to the grocery store,....again. 
  • Tonight's dinner menu is scalloped potatoes and ham.  
  • Has 3 loads of laundry to do when I get back
  • Has to work Monday and Tuesday (until noon), and Thursday.  (Love short holiday weeks)

That's it in a nut shell for now.  Gotta run to town so will maybe write more later.

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 ...
