Life

Hello.  It's me again.   Seems like the only time I get to write on this blog is on Sunday evenings...after I've lived life for  a few days.  

It's been amazingly  good for me the past few weeks.   I've gotten to spend quality time with some of the most amazing women in my circle.

Last weekend I went to the Journey concert (for those who know me, Journey is my ALL time favorite band of ALL time!!) with my besties Donna and Vickie.   We had such an amazing time just hanging out with each other...laughing, grooving to the music and just "being" together.   I have tons of photos to share, but they're all on my phone and I haven't a clue how to import them here (I'm kind of technologically challenged).

This weekened I was fortunate to have time with one of my longtime friends... Becky  We've known each other for 20 years.   I've seen her through thick and thin...and vice versa.  She's one of those "lifetime" friends... you know ...the one's that know your history and still love you no matter what. 

We spent some great time together this weekend.  We left early on Friday and hit Fargo, only to shop until we dropped.  After a nice supper at Johnny Carino's, we headed back to the hotel and relaxed.  We got comfortable (in PJ's) and uncorked a bottle of wine and got down to the business of connecting.....sharing thoughts, fears, dreams, hopes and reality.   No holds barred.   She's been with me the longest of any of my "circle", and knows all the gory details of my life....and I, of hers. 

Our friendship is one that will stand the test of time.  We don't have contact daily....we see each other rarely...but she's one of those people that will ALWAYS be in my life.  

Today, was an easy kind of day.  I slept in (a rarity for me), then headed up to Blaine's apartment.  He's done such an amazing job at keeping it clean!  I told him how proud I was of him and how he should be proud of himself.  We went for breakfast, did some grocery shopping, took a drive out to the Pipestem Dam and Jamestown Resevoir, all the while cruising to some awesome music.  

After I dropped him off, I came home and cleaned.  Yuck!!   But, it's a necessary evil...and if I'm gonna get on Blaine's case about cleaning....I'd better put up or shut up!

The upcoming week will be a long one for me....short days at work, but a long week (no 1/2 day on Friday)   I have a full yoga and gym schedule.  

I'm proud of myself.  I've had two really great weeks.  My moods have been good, I've spent amazing time with spectacular friends, created memories and lived life.  

Life......it's all good today!

Great to see that you've been having a really great time with your friends. As I read your words, a thought popped into my head. Women always seem to have more life-long women friends than do us guys have life-long men friends, ones that are still kept in touch with. Interesting, eh?

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 ...
