3 simple questions

Yesterday on NPR radio I heard a story about a woman who was conducting a survey. She was going around asking the following 3 questions; I have been thinking about them ever since. 1. What do you live for? 2. What would you die for? 3. What would you kill for? Sign in to see full entry.

Christmas confessions

...my husband got me a gun for Christmas. It's a little indoor pellet target gun-- kind of a wierd present. I do really like target shooting and have some funny stories about it. Once I went out on a 'date' with a total narcissist who had every conceivable type of firearm. We went to a shooting... Sign in to see full entry.

Are you a procrastinator? Maybe this is the reason!

I've always been a procrastinator. Today a thought came to me that may explain it. Having always been a very independent spirit, a big theme in my life has been do things 'my way'! Is procrastination an extension of that? When I put things off until the last minute, am I expanding the number of... Sign in to see full entry.

a few reflections about last night

Last night was the subject of my 'I don't want to go' post a few days ago- well, we went. It wasn't so bad and I know it meant a lot to my Mom. My cousin wasn't too 'smarmy' (God, I love that word!) and since my sister wasn't there, I actually got to talk with Mom a little. The Lutheran church... Sign in to see full entry.

Feeling Human Again

Got caught up on my sleep last night, thank heavens, and am now out of 'zombie land' just in time for Christmas! Yesterday I felt like the walking dead, just going through the motions of living- what an awful feeling. I want to wish all you bloggers a wonderful Christmas and Holiday season! It has...

Wide awake at 2am

2 am is not a fun time to be awake! When you are awake at night when you don't want to be, how do you feel? I felt energetic, wide awake, happy except for the frustration of knowing that I was missing out on sleep. I tried everything to get back to sleep- herbs, homeopathics, zone bar-- nothing was...

Do you use the 'Uh Huh' technique?

Do you know people who just want to complain but don't want suggestions, comments, or thoughts about alternative solutions? I learned something from a really funny movie, "What Planet Are You From?" It's the "uh huh' technique. I've been using it with my sister on the phone and it works very well!... Sign in to see full entry.

Got it figured out.

We decided to balance the Christmas Eve that we don't really want to do with having fun on Christmas Day by driving our bikes up to Lake Arrowhead to personally deliver some presents to the grandkids. We'll just make the best of the 24th. Some sad news about my sister arrived yesterday; she fell... Sign in to see full entry.

I don't want to go...

It's a planned Christmas Eve visit and I don't want to go! I have to get this one figured out- and soon. We are supposed to go over to my Mom's-- my cousin and her husband will most likely be there. This is a cousin that Mom has always held up as a 'shining example' and it's been an irritation to... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm officially "off " broadcast news!

I've realized that I've been slowly changing as I've been blogging this past month or so. Now, I really hate watching any broadcast news on TV. I'd rather go to the blogit site or the www.happynews.com! Yesterday, I tried watching the news but felt myself getting really tense and irritable so I... Sign in to see full entry.
