I love a parade

Yesterday was my brother’s birthday.  I still whisper “Happy Birthday, Brother” in my head on this day.  I’m hoping he’s in a place he can hear my thoughts and that I’ll see him again.  With his birthday, my day follows the next week.  I had more anticipation when I was younger.  Now, it’s another step down that [...]

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

No, it’s not snowing here, I just figured we needed that song to go along with my page.
Wow, last night I had a can of Diet Coke made with Splenda … oooohhhh, is that sinful!!  It tastes almost like the real thing, without all that sugar.  I’m likin’ that !!  I just had a sip this morning [...]

It’s Fridaaaayyyyyy!!!!

Yeah, I got nothin’!   I’ve been fighting something for a few weeks and it has finally landed on my face!  Those nasty dreaded head colds … so I’m drinking Tazo Green Tea  and doing all that I can to keep from it getting into my chest … we’ll see how successfull I am at that!
It’s [...]

It’s always good to hear

My son is divorced, living in the midwest and has joint custody of his 2 children.  His ex-wife has been seeing someone, moved in with him, and then as of this morning had this man’s baby. 
What is good to hear is my son’s ex-mother in law, just let me know what a really good guy [...]

Did you survive the turkey coma?

I was surprised that we didn’t have the turkey coma affect this year.  I don’t know if it was because the turkey was a natural no added hormones, etc to it from Trader Joes or what.  But, I’m real glad we didn’t, although I can’t tell you what we did, because yesterday is pretty much [...]

Are you high?

Why yes, as a matter of fact I am.   LOL … Hubby is spreading his germs … and I’ve been fighting it all day!  So, tonight, I came home, had dinner and took cough syrup with codeine and a muscle relaxer.  Try playing Bejeweled Blitz while floating … pretty interesting.  Reflexes aren’t that great, but [...]

The Holiday Season

Yippee, hoorah … oh goody … you know what that means … the start of my sadness funk  …  can we just fast forward to January 1 and be though this already?!?!?!

Mortality

I know death is a part of life.  All things die.  These last 7 days have been full of mourning.  Tuesday my nephew’s significant other’s step-father dies.  Just a day or two after that, this same person’s brother-in-law dies.  Then Saturday morning our friend passes. 
One of our other friends wife is battling cancer and it [...]

Going Home

I’ve just received news that  a friend of ours has died.  They were always good to us when we lived in Lincoln.  Their son was a really good friend of our son.  The mom has been sick for quite awhile.  Unfortunately her illness was too much for her body to handle. 
Both of their sons live [...]
