  • Not just the future….

    One of those lonely Sunday nights…Kids were home this weekend and left this afternoon.  We went with Katy and Luke to Hu Hot in  Ankeny to meet with Russ, Becky and Henry (my favorite child)!  Jenny headed back to Kansas City.  We had a fun weekend…stayed up way too late Friday night..I think I only… Read more

  • One thing leads to another..

    I was kind of surprised yesterday that several people took my rant about the news via Paula Deen was about Paula Deen and diabetes rather than the control media has over us.  But then I posted via my work mate on Facebook an article from Gawker and it was about Paula Deen and her “add… Read more

  • I DON”T CARE!!!

    Back in the late 70’s and early 80’s, I really wanted to work in commercial radio…I took some classes..did some training at KSO radio in Des Moines and got a job as News Director of the local radio station KCOB after I got married and moved to Newton.  I loved that whole playing music, disc… Read more

  • He’s off to work!!!!

    It’s just the critters and me here today…A perfect day to get things done.  I seldom just sit around on days like this.  I wish I could give myself permission to scrapbook or watch daytime TV and crochet…but haven’t been able to do that for awhile.  What has happened to me?  The prevailing thought is… Read more

  • Hello, Nina

    I’ve always been like sweet nectar to therapist, self-help authors, narcissists and manipulative people along with pure cane sugar.  Dad died 10 years ago and that’s when I started to put things into perspective…I wallowed in hatefulness, guilt and self pitty for the next 8 years then mom and Aunt Frances died and I started… Read more

  • It’s Sunday

    Some of you will understand when I say…People – shut up…This Ain’t My First Rodeo.Then I question ain’t…the apostrophe…it’s a contraction for ai not?  Well that makes no sense!Great Day yesterday – Picked Dave and Christa up at the sheriff’s Office…they left their car there – they didn’t just get out of jail. Met with… Read more

  • The joy you are missing when you don’t own a cat!!!

    Dogs spent the weekend with their friends at the Newton Animal Rescue League because we went to Kansas City to spend the weekend with Jenny.  I decided this morning that I should probably take Truman along to pick up the dogs because he is overdue on a distemper shot.  Non-cat people do not realize the… Read more

  • One of THOSE moments…

    I seem to have rather frequent Ah – Ha moments now.  I’m thinking, perhaps, as you clear out the crap in your mind,  the good stuff has more room to circulate.  It only makes sense.  Sometimes I actually wonder if I’m the only one that these things just come to…that everyone else is ::eye rolling::… Read more

  • What I learned yesterday…

    For the most part, it is safe to say that my overblown reaction to some of the people who continuously call for police assistance ie.  8 year old who won’t go to bed, SERIOUSLY.  My ??? is harrassing me by calling me on the phone, DON’T ANSWER THE PHONE, THEY WILL GET TIRED OF THE… Read more

  • A post in the raw….

    No…I’m not naked. I’ve been in a total funk since Thanksgiving…This is the first holiday funk I’ve ever had…Our family kind of developed a Christmas curse several years ago…I call it a curse for lack of a better word…but magical Christmas seasons seemed to wane as the years went by…strokes, heart attacks, broken body parts… Read more
