Simple Saturday

Woke up today feeling Ok.   Headed to town for a coffee and then my yoga class.  It was supposed to be a gentle, relaxing class but somehow it ended up more of a power class.  I had one guest from another town attending with her sister.  As she was leaving, she stated to me, "that was a great class, thank you."  Small words but it made me feel good.   

I headed up to Anytime Fitness for my class there.  Small group of three, but it was good.  Less movement but still good.

Now, the best part of my day - I got to spend a couple hours with my stylist Eva.  I feel human again after receiving a cut, color and manicure.  She and I have a good friendship as well as a customer/client relationship.  A couple of weeks ago we unloaded with each other, vented and cried.  We were both emotional I guess.   I've been going to her for 12 (?) years now.   When you find someone that you're that comfortable with, you don't lose them.

I called my friend Donna and we met up at Anytime Fitness for a half-hour workout.  She's getting started and I couldn't be more proud of her.  I know how hard it is to make that first step.  I've told her that she's already doing great by just showing up.  I'll try to do my best to encourage her and help her when asked, but I can't make her walk through the door - that, she has to do all on her own.

Tonight we're going to Marasalek's for post hunting supper.   We've been doing that for years.  It's their way of saying "thank you" for letting their family hunt our land.  I'm bringing dessert.  I made scotcheroos....first time ever.  Of course, they didn't turn out for crap.  But at least the epic fail tastes good, just didn't stick together.   

Tomorrow it's ALL about getting out on the bike and hitting the trails around the the reservoir and town.  I don't dare ride out in the country or around the pipestem due to hunting season.   Event wearing bright pink or orange doesn't make me feel safe.   

Hopefully I'll get some great time in on my two-wheeled steed.  It's needed...not only for body, but my mind as well.

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 ...
