Happiness gently landed on my shoulders

  • Christmas without the sisters

    I’m fried…but it is a good fried, I think.  For the first time in my adult life, I’m not dreading anything about Christmas.  It’s going to be a tough day because mom and Aunt Frances are gone…Katy says that is big…huge…Grandma sat in the corner sweet and oblivious and grinning trying to get Daisy on… Read more

  • A friendly weekend

    It’s been a great weekend…depending on fantasy football tomorrow, it might be an almost perfect weekend.  Friday night, Susie came for a visit, girltalk, wine, blue cheese on crackers with strawberry jam..mmmm  I picked Deb up this afternoon for our 2nd annual Jim McDonough Christmas concert at Hoyt Sherman.  He is an amazing musician and… Read more

  • Whew, I feel better

    From the comments I received on yesterday’s blog about my intense curiosity…I was pleased to find out that there are a lot of us crazies walking the street.  When you are face to face talking to someone, you have no idea what they are thinking about..in that little curious recess of their mind…It tickles me. … Read more

  • Almost a month

    For starters…I’ve found ebay…there are few things (at this age) quite so satisfying as seeing the stuff you are ready to give up be exchanged for cash.   I tend to have some addiction problems with stuff…kind of like a dog with a bone with lots of roast beef still attached…you can’t get it away from… Read more

  • Kind of an emotional day…First…the Ft Hood situation had a huge impact on me..please don’t think I’m lame, but I watch Army Wives and I’m very emotionally attached to it…when the General gave his press conference tonight on CNN I felt sick because Army Wives has given me an idea what it is like on… Read more

  • I’m skeered

    I have chuckled a couple of times in the last hour to keep me from screaming, running upstairs, closing myself in the bedroom under the comforter…I was nearly killed tonight from a chain reaction of 4 of the 8 animals in the house.  I went in to watch TV – the shows that I missed… Read more

  • Know what I’m doin’

    It is 12:47 in the morning, I’m at the computer and have the desk top stereo cranked..listening to oldies..93.3 KIOA…the station I listened to before the station and I were oldies…I worked 3 hours tonight…Alayna called in sick so 3 of us split up the time.  Working OT when you don’t have to work an… Read more

  • I want to speak a moment about peace of mind…for me, it doesn’t seem to be my favorite song playing in my head, floating on air or singing kumbaya…it’s more a “piece” of mind that is no longer ransacked with fear….during one of my quiet times, I was thinking about how I actually think I used to have pressure… Read more

  • It’s November

    What a whirlwind half of year…being with him at Mayo several times, mom’s final antics and death, Jenny and Ryan moving away, Aunt Frances’ final antics and death…sorting sorting sorting thru the 90+ years of their life from the “stuff” they left behind…I’m not really feeling overwhelmed anymore because time is not an element.  If… Read more

  • Who needs enemies to stab you in the back when you have family.  I have never quite been so disappointed as I have with the dirty business I’ve been dealing with after 53 years of horse excrement.  There is an executor job open.  I quit.  She tried to get it changed but died first…hmmmm Ninasusan… Read more
