Memories Of New Years Eve's Passed

The first New Years Eve I remember I couldn't have been more than 8 or so...maybe I was younger but I really don't remember for sure. The adults always went out on New Years Eve to the VFW, my Grandpa was a member and even now my VFW has one hell of a bash that includes prime rib and cheesecake. My... Sign in to see full entry.

What Will You Tell Future Generations

A friend of mine asked what I do doing when the world was rid of Saddam. I giggled because honestly it was more than an hour later before I knew it was done and over because Carl and I were...ummmm....otherwise occupied! She laughed and said "Well that is not one to share with the grandkids!" I... Sign in to see full entry.

Anybody Want A Cat???

I've been working on a bookshelf (staining it) and I left the can on the desk with the lid well replaced. Sooo tonight, Carl and I were laying on the bed talking when I hear this BANG!!!!! Yep, she did! I know have antique oak as the stain on my floor. Luckily, the floor is in process as Carl is... Sign in to see full entry.

I Hate Spiteful People

As I said in my previous blog, I am boycotting the holidays from now on. Here is only ONE of the reasons. I talked to Pam on Christmas morning as her mother has her for the holiday because legally the courts refuse to do anything about the nonsense going on there. Anyway, I asked Pam what she got: A...

Honey I"m Home!!!

Did you miss me? Holiday time is both busy and tends to be a bit of a crunch on the wallet as well. This year has been a great deal of very big ups and then some very big downs. Since I have been gone I have decided I am boycotting the holidays next year because in the end everyone ends up stressed... Sign in to see full entry.

Happy Birthday Grandpa

It's a little over an hour before midnight here in Michigan and then it will be Christmas Eve. My grandpa's birthday is on Christmas Eve and as a child it was even better than Christmas for me because it meant that Grandpa would have his annual Christmas/birthday party. I would wait all year for... Sign in to see full entry.

What Do You Want For Christmas??

Things are a bit tight around here so gifts are limited as well, I got to thinking about what I would like if I had unlimited funds. I would hire someone to do my waxing for me (yes we are talking body waxing), I would get a massage once a week and I would bring all those that I love together for... Sign in to see full entry.

All I Want For Christmas Is You!!!!!!!!!

No, unlike the last time I am not running around the house with the IPOD getting busted by the kid as I sing very off key to All I Want For Christmas. Pam left for her mother's for the next two weeks and Carl and I have the house all to ourselves and the impending 10th anniversary coming up on... Sign in to see full entry.

What Are Your Goals For 2007

I was thinking last night that 2006 turned out a bit differently than I envisioned at this time last year. I didn't have a clue that Pam would be back living with us and I certainly didn't believe I would be eeking out a bit of a living writing. So, I thought it might be fun to look back next year...
