When I went to Wal-Mart with Mom on Monday, I was in the electronics section and happened to glance over at some of the computer games that were on the shelves. There were the usual sims games...A couple of them looked like fun, but there was one in particular that caught my eye... It's called... Sign in to see full entry.

TRYING TO WRITE AGAIN
I'm going to try my best to get back into my writing again today. I haven't done any at all for at least a week and a half. Every time I try, my mind goes blank, and therefore, so does the page!! Now, here's the really strange part...I don't have writer's block!! On the contrary, my poor brain is... Sign in to see full entry.

A BUSY LITTLE BEE
Good morning, gang... Well, that trip to Wal-Mart with Mom got scrubbed yesterday because of all the rain we had. At 11:45 yesterday morning, I had to shut down my computer because we had thunderstorms as well. YIKES!! They didn't last very long, but I never like taking the chance of frying my...

OH, THE LIFE OF A BOOK WORM!!
I've done it again...I was checking my other email this morning, and received a message from a cook book service I joined a few months ago. They now also offer books at discount prices through ZOOBA. Anyway, I skimmed the selections and actually found one I liked the sounds of. It's called MARLEY... Sign in to see full entry.

HOORAY FOR B.J. AND TYLER!!
Did anyone here catch the final episode of THE AMAZING RACE last night? Roommie and I were going to record it and watch it together, but she decided to watch it with her sister. Anyway, I was too lazy to record it for myself to watch later today, so I just watched it all the way through last night.... Sign in to see full entry.

WHY DIDN'T I WATCH THESE SHOWS SOONER????
My mom likes WILL AND GRACE. I never once watched it while it was still on the air, but of late I've been catching bits and pieces of the show on our Lifetime network. So far, I really like it!! I've also been catching snippets of DHARMA AND GREG on our WE channel. Again, I've found that I actually... Sign in to see full entry.
WIDDLING THE TIME AWAY
I've just put floor cleaner down since poor Mocha had a really bad accident yesterday. I cleaned up what I could of it last night and I'm in the process of finishing now. I have to let the stuff soak in for a least a half hour before taking it up. He looks much better today and he seems to be eating... Sign in to see full entry.
CLASS REUNION?
Last night, I got an email from a friend I've heard from years. Not only was he a really good friend, he also just happened to be president of our senior class. I also know his sister, though not as well. Anyway, he finally read the email I sent him some time ago...(Actually, the really sad part of... Sign in to see full entry.
WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE?
Good morning gang... First off, I wanted to thank all of you who left encouraging comments on my post from yesterday. Poor Mocha ended up being sick yesterday, and since I had to look and clean up after him, I didn't have time to do the research I wanted into that site. I promise to keep you all...

A STRANGE BUT BEAUTIFUL DREAM
As yesterday was Mother's Day, my mom came by for coffee again last night and I gave her the gift Roommie and I picked out for her. While she was here, she showed me some pictures my grandmother had given to her. The most interesting one was of the people who were my great, great, great... Sign in to see full entry.

THANKS, CHARLIE
About an hour ago, roommie was in our laundry/storage room and she pulled Chalie, my animated singing turkey out of some unseen box or corner. When she set him off, I just had to play with him again!! Playing with him made me smile for a second, and I've decided that he's not returning to some dark,... Sign in to see full entry.

SWIMMING THROUGH THE FOG
Today is a lot better for me than yesterday, but I still have the sinking feeling I'm about to get an earful from my dad for not being at the funeral yesterday...Hopefully what my gut is telling me is wrong...

A FINAL GOODBYE
I finally managed to cry.... The funeral service was at 11:00 this morning. I didn't attend...I just couldn't handle it. I've said goodbye to Grammy in my own way, and I don't need anyone judging or interferring with that. I've managed to stop crying for now, but I'm sure it won't be long before I...

PEANUT BUTTER AND CHOCOLATE FUDGE
Last night after Mom left, I started thinking about fudge....I love the stuff, and it's all thanks to Grammy!! It was another thing we used to spend time doing together when I was little and she'd spend the weekends at our house. Grammy loved to bake and make candy, and fudge was one of her many...

ONE LAST SMILE
My mother came by for coffee this afternoon on her way to the funeral home for visiting hours with Grammy. While she was here, she asked me if I wanted to see the pictures Heather had given her of the babies. They're so adorable!! There was one picture missing, and I thought perhaps it had fallen...

ALPHABET SOUP
When I was little, my Grammy would often come from her home in Lewiston (about forty-five minutes from where I live) and spend the weekends with us so she could look after us while my parents went clubbing with friends. Often, she'd let us sleep with her in my parent's bed. While she waited for us... Sign in to see full entry.
