THE SHORTEST BREAK EVER
Hi gang... Well, I'm back tonight after all. I really didn't want to rejoin the land of the living again until Monday, but Roommie reminded me that she had some things to take care of online that couldn't wait, so here I am. It's probably better for me to be back anyway. I'm a little depressed right... Sign in to see full entry.

I'M OUTTA HERE!
LOL...Now, before you all get your knickers twisted into untwistable knots, I'm not leaving for good...Just taking a break from the computer tomorrow and maybe the whole weekend as well. We cooked one of our chickens tonight and will cook the second tomorrow. I'm looking forward to the company and... Sign in to see full entry.
THANK GOD FOR PEPPERIDGE FARM!!!!
I am not a fan of those pre-made boxed stuffing mixes. They're just too doggone salty! They're too dry to boot. So, for the past two years, Roommie and I have prepared our own stuffing. Last year, we found a really yummy recipe for apple-sausage stuffing. Roommie wasn't to try it at first, but after... Sign in to see full entry.
ALMOST THERE
I spent a ton of time last night working on my assignment, but truth be told I'm still not satisfied with it. However, I've decided to let it rest over the holiday weekend and take another look at it on Monday. It's cold here again today, and its made me think about all the people who won't have a...

TEARS
I read Ariala's post a coulple of hours ago about the elderly lady who keeps refusing her help, and it got me thinking about this... I've posted about these two people before, so for those of you who already know the stories, please bear with me here. After reading Ariala's post I felt compelled to... Sign in to see full entry.
A MOMENT OF BRILLIANCE
At last, at long, long last, I know how to fix the holes in my story! I hadn't thought about this all day, but just a minute ago when I was out in the kitchen it came to me. Of all things to be doing, I was giving the coffee pot one last rinse through with water. (I was too tired to finish it last... Sign in to see full entry.
NOOOO!!!!! ANYTHING BUT THIS!!!!!!
I'm just sitting here writing whatever will come out. Just a few minutes ago, Roommie looked out the window and saw....I can't believe it! I don't even want to say the word!... SNOW!!!!!! Big, fluffy white flakes of bloody SNOW!!!!!!!.... And I sit here knowing that God the Father is smiling down... Sign in to see full entry.
FRUSTRATED...BUT NO LESS THANKFUL
Hi gang, I hope you're all having a happy Tuesday! Today is a gray, dismal day, but at least I woke up this morning to see it. God wants us to be thankful and grateful for each day of life He grants us...and so I am. I have to confess that this final assignment for Jane is frustrating me a LOT. It's...

I'M THINKING OF AUDITIONING FOR DANCING WITH THE STARS...WANNA BE MY PARTNE
Okay, so last Thursday night at dinner with Julie and Becky and Walter, Julie and Becky and I were all jabbering away about how much we love watching people dance. Julie says she didn't much care for SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE last season, because none of the judges were very helpful, but instead... Sign in to see full entry.
HAPPY HANUKAH SHOPPING!!!!!!
Well, I've done it! I just ordered the first part of Becky's Hanukah present! I ordered a copy of the LAMB CHOP'S DVD for myself as well. I can't wait until they arrive! The Monday after Thanksgiving, I'll go and order the last part because I have to order my sister's Christmas present anyway.... Sign in to see full entry.
ONE TASK DOWN...AM I STILL SANE????
Okay, so here's my morning so far....Up since 8:00, wrote four pages of my final assignment. Two visits to the loo, and breakfast! Phew! How's that for off and crawling? After my shower, I'll get back to work on the assignment. It'll be a relief to have it done and over with, frankly. After the... Sign in to see full entry.
CHOW CALL!
Well, I've gotten what I consider a decent amount of work done on my assignment so far! I'll get back to it after my shower today. Unfortunately, that chocolate pop tart stick didn't hold my stomach for long, so I've gotta go get a cranberry bagel. Yummy! Not to mention, I need some serious... Sign in to see full entry.
THE EARLY BIRD
Good morning gang... It's not even 9:00 am yet, and yes, I'm up and at it! Actually, I've been awake off and on since about six thirty this morning. My back started burning like crazy, and no matter what I did, I just couldn't get comfortable. So, here I am. At least writing will keep me from... Sign in to see full entry.

MIND BOGGLED
Well, here I sit on a sunny, cold Sunday afternoon wondering what to do with myself next. At the moment, I've been forced to take on the boring monthly ritual of cleaning the coffee pot. We've found grounds in our coffee the past two mornings, so it was definitely time. Anyway, Mum and my uncle will... Sign in to see full entry.

A ROUGH ONE
Hi gang, I actually tried to post this afternoon, but my hands were just too spastic. So, here I am now. Not much to report, actually...just too bored to play any games or do anymore shopping at the moment. Thursday night at dinner, those God-awful leg spasms I was having a couple of months ago came...

TIRED....SO TIRED!
Our dinner date with Julie yesterday was fantastic, as always. We made each other laugh, just like always. We've decided we don't want to wait for spring to come to see each other again, so if the weather is okay at the end of December, we're going to visit her at home for an "After Christmas"...

Good morning, gang... Well, tonight's the night! Becky and Walter are due to pick up me up here at 4:00. We're supposed to be at the restaurant at five, but we'll see if we're late this time or not! Actually, last time we got there before Julie! If they're late this time, they're going to get an... Sign in to see full entry.

AROUND IN CIRCLES...BUT GETTING THERE
Good morning gang... I just wanted to pop in and say hello, because I probably won't be able to blog much today. At long last, I've finally figured out where I've been going wrong with this assignment and now know how to fix it. I've been telling the story from the wrong view point. What a relief to...

GETTING HARDER
Hi gang, I can't believe it's almost noon! Roommie offered to babysit for L and her husband early this morning so they wouldn't have to take the kids out of the house, but I didn't mind this time. It was bitter outside this morning, and I couldn't see them having to be dragged off. G hasn't spoken... Sign in to see full entry.
