It’s Monday…it really is Monday…last night was my first night back; but, it will be a blessed short week.  We are going to Katy’s house on Friday…actually we are going to fly instead of drive..got a reasonable price on tickets flying out of Des Moines and landing in Cleveland.

Northern Iowa got hit with a pretty bad snow storm yesterday…we got a dusting.  It is cold, windy and 27 now at 0723…It seems like this winter has been very, very long…I know I probably feel this way every year…

I finished crocheting a wine bottle cozy this morning at work…I will take a snapshot of it later..I’m tired now and going to bed.

Until next time….

There is a massage in my future…I keep thinking about it…one of these days when I have the “money is no objeect” mentality, I’m going…wow…it would feel good.

So…have you tried the Starkist tuna creations…I am almost afraid to “highly” recommend something because not everyone has the same palet…but oh my…this has become my new addiction…actually my favorite is sweet and spicy although the herb and garlic is good.  I haven’t tried the lemon pepper one because I’m not big on lemon pepper…I’ve been mixing them with MIRACLE WHIP – on a bagle then Hot and sweet pickles…oh goodness…but the tuna is actually good enough to eat out of the bag!!

Had a dead to the world night…not really sure when I went to bed…it wasn’t late (well, my normal late) and I slept until 0900…I don’t think I was even awake a second….. toasted english muffin with butter and strawberry preserves this morning, picked them up off the counter and one went face down on the floor…the thought occurred to me – hmmmm…this is not a good way to start the day…but am trying to get rid of that negative thinking…so I thought..hmmm..that half of an english muffin would have gone straight to my stomach..thank goodness something intervened…hows that for positive thinking 🙂

Sunny and 36 today…no idea what I’m going to do.  Have Jane’s retirement party this afternoon.  She just retired after 39 years with the state…she deserves something more than a retirement party…may take her a bottle of wine 🙂

Until next time….

I’ve been up and down emotionally today…It actually feels like I haven’t had any down time…I ran errands this morning – had to change out a mask for my cpap at Hammer Medical, transfer title on the new trailer, got a haircut and color, coffee with Kim, I stopped at the store for tuna 🙂 yes…tuna…then I drove home to pick him up because we had visitation for Penny Drew.. brought him back home and then back to town for Code Lime at the mexican restaurant with the church ladies…it was decided we needed to raise a toast to Penny…Vicki was there..I haven’t talked to her for awhile although she is almost constantly on my mind…. she was a bit hoarse and recovering from thyroidectomy due to cancer…. We were there celebrating Penny’s life…when I heard she died, I was kind of snapped into that frame of mind that she wasn’t too much older than me and is my generation going to start dying off…Of all the people I know, Penny’s health – current and past – had caused concerns before that she may not make it; but, when it actually happens……

Then Vicki…she is actually younger than me by a year.  Of all of us “church ladies”, she is the most health conscious…she’s a nurse, she eats right, exercises year round, has always been there for her 3 kids whether a school activity or a sport.  During a prayer meeting we had a couple of weeks ago, someone actually said, isn’t it amazing that out of all of us, Vicki is the first to have a serious illness….

Talk about perspective and life in perspective.  We may not have long folks, so live today like it is your last day.

Until next time….

He and I delivered mom’s medicine to her today and stayed for 1/2 hour or so to be sociable.  Done

It is windy today…terribly windy..windy like your pant legs wrap around your legs…your hair goes every direction and I always hope my glasses don’t blow off of my face.

Other than facebook Pirates, my other latest computer addiction is miniclips.com where you can play pool…8 ball and 9 ball…fun

In my attempt to look at the big picture, I wonder why women seem to have gotten the bad end of the deal in life.  I don’t necessarily mean where we have gotten ourselves by not staying home barefoot and pregnant…I’m talking about way back … the pain of childbirth, the monthly problems just so we can do childbirth, breast cancer, being viewed as the weaker sex…and men have what…the male appendage and the constant problem of what to name it..

What would it feel like for one day to not be responsible…to say…ya, whatever…to genuinely not care and just do what feels good….just for 24 hours…

Does everything that happens happen for a reason or is it just what it is?

Just thoughts….

Until next time…..
