Happiness gently landed on my shoulders

January 2014

  • I label myself….

    …and it is probably not that accurate in todays expletived-up political arena.  If sides have to be drawn, then I feel more comfortable calling myself a liberal than a conservative. Liberalism is a political philosophy or worldview founded on ideas of liberty and equality.[1] Liberals espouse a wide array of views depending on their understanding Read more

  • I didn’t wake up irritable!

    My large, elderly golden went down on the ice this morning right off the porch in his yard.  He is fine…probably be sore tonight…but his legs were splayed out and he was laying on his belly and couldn’t get up…so I suited up and was able to pull him off the ice and he got Read more

  • Oh forgive me, Paul, for prattling away and making everything all oogy.

    I finally looked it up. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=oogy‎ 1. oogy. Feeling the effect of an illness or injury. Think of Kathy Bates’ character in Stephen … That old sponge sat, mildewing in the sink, until it got all oogy. Dear Diary:  Paul is feeling better today.  When I got outta bed he was sitting at the counter Read more

  • Mr Man….

    “What’s the matter? WHAT’S THE MATTER? I will tell you “what’s the matter!” I go out of my way for you! I do everything to try and make you happy. I feed you, I clean you, I dress you, and what thanks do I get? “Oh, you bought the wrong paper, Anne, I can’t write Read more

  • MISERY!

    Someone asked in a post somewhere, sometime ago who they thought should play them in the movie of their life.  I chose Kathy Bates. I’m waiting for the rigatoni to finish and I have broccoli in the microwave – he’s sick today and this is about the first meal that I’ve had to cook since Read more

  • The Gay Shock….

    I’m struggling with the content of something I shared on Facebook today. http://www.tytnetwork.com/2014/01/07/congressman-aaron-schock-outed/ The 32 year old republican congressman from Illinois has been subject of much public debate about what gender he chooses to sleep with.  I, personally, don’t care.  Apparently this congressman makes every effort in his “job” to vote against and rail against Read more

  • uh huh

    I’m guessing there will be more pictures of this: than beach sunset pictures today.  When I took this picture before getting out of the car this morning, I was thinking about being in Chicago a few years ago when I took a picture of the car thermostat in Craig and Mary Beth’s minivan which was Read more

  • Digestion…

    My girls mentioned several times..okay…nearly every time I talked to them, that they were watching Parenthood – all 4 seasons – one right after the other the way we like to watch a good show.  I decided to try it out with Amazon Prime and I love it too.  I don’t know whether it is Read more

  • I fear that my big toe has grown…

    Just the toe on my left foot.  Everything appears normal, shoes fit fine…but twice this week I have stubbed it while walking…not your normal kind of stub…I stubbed it on the floor while walking…bent it under…flat surface…owie…..I had heard that as you age, your ear lobes and nose might grow and I knew the nipple Read more
