Good morning, gang... Happy 2006 to you all!! I hope your new year celebrations were safe and happy ones. I actually did end up turning on my computer yesterday, but I just didn't feel like posting. I only turned it on so I could install the new Norton Anti Virus. It seems to be working without a... Sign in to see full entry.

Can you believe it gang? We're literally down to the final hours of 2005!!!! It's hard to believe, isn't it? Looking back, I can't believe how fast the year has gone by...Seems like only yesterday, roommie and I were watching the New Year's Day Parade. Tonight, we'll try our best to watch the ball...

Tonight I started working on a fictional story loosely based on my great-grandfather's character. This weekend is going to be a painful one for me, and I'm hoping at least starting this story will ease some of that pain. My one sadness...Even greater than the sadness of losing him...Is that he never... Sign in to see full entry.

Hello gang, I don't know if I'll be here tomorrow to write this to you all, so I want to take a moment to wish you all a very blessed and peaceful New Year. I hope that whatever your prayers have been, God will answer them in whatever way He sees fit. It may not be in the ways you hope for or want,... Sign in to see full entry.

Okay, here comes another pathetically sad tale of a childhood fantasy forever ruined by age gap... Today is Davy Jones's birthday. (You know, the girl-crazy little tiny waif of a fellow from THE MONKEES). I'm a huge fan of the show...And yes, you guessed it...I was madly in love with Davy. I loved... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm not sure who it was who posted this site here in blogit, but about a month or so ago, I was fortunate enough to discover a website that accepts manuscripts online from previously unpublished writers. After much debate and deliberation, I have decided to research the site further (to ensure... Sign in to see full entry.

New Year's Eve is fast approaching, and I'm sure many of my friends have already begun making New Year's resolutions. Not only my friends here in blogland, but other friends as well. I have one resolution that repeats year after year. That is, I don't make New Year's resolutions. I don't believe in... Sign in to see full entry.

Roommie and I have a slight problem. We always order our New Year's dinner out, but this year we may not be able to. Usually, we'd get a large selection of Chinese food, but I found out on my birthday that my friend Cory retired from her restaurant here in town and that she sold it to her...

Today is my son's birthday... I wish I could be there to celebrate with him and his wife, but since I can't I'll send him a card via email. I meant to actually buy him one, but haven't been able to get out to pick one out for him. Like me, he loves having birthdays because they remind him of... Sign in to see full entry.

I just read Offbeats post about questioning Heaven and Hell...It reminded me of a conversation I once had with my son. I've posted about this particular conversation before, but I can't help but be awed by it. It came about one afternoon just after we'd met...(And long before I knew for certain he...

I wanted to write this post last night, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I can't promise I won't cry while I'm writing this now, but being able to post about Grandpa seems to be making the thought of this weekend a bit easier to cope with. Actually, this post is about Grandpa and... Sign in to see full entry.

I don't feel like doing anything today. I don't feel like writing, I don't feel like talking to anyone...I don't feel like studying or working on my latch hook kit or doing the house work....I don't feel like doing anything. The worst part is, I can't figure out why. I keep telling myself it's okay... Sign in to see full entry.

It just hit me all over again. I just read MiaElla's post about how much she misses her brother and it just hit me... Death steals so much more than a person's life. It steals everything most treasured by the people who love that person. Death stole my best friend from me almost ten years ago now.... Sign in to see full entry.

Please forgive me if this sounds like another pathetic whine, but I'm already at my wit's end!! I don't know how much more of this I can stand!! Okay, now that you're all probably wondering what I'm on about, let me explain. Remember the big storm I mentioned we were supposed to have on Christmas... Sign in to see full entry.

Ick!! What a messy Monday!!... We here in Maine were supposed to get a big snowstorm yesterday in honour of Christmas, but nothing came of it. So instead, I wake up this morning to rain. Nothing unusal about that this time of year, except that it was actually starting to melt what snow we have had!!... Sign in to see full entry.

I was just checking my hotmail account and I received a letter from Natasha, one of the ladies from Russia who became my pen-pal a couple of months ago. It seems she was having quite a few problems with her email address, so couldn't write or receive any of my messages. So far as I understand... Sign in to see full entry.

Some of you may remember that a few days ago, I mentioned my father almost had a heart attack. Thank goodness it wasn't one after all. However, on Saturday I got some more disturbing news. Heather was at my mom's house on Saturday for Christmas Eve dinner, and she suddenly told me she had seen my... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, that does it.... I've decided to go to ebay and start Christmas shopping for next year!! Yes, I know the holiday has just come and gone, but why waste time? Usually, I end up waiting until the last possible second...(it happened again this year)so I've decided no more of this foolishness!!... Sign in to see full entry.

Happy day after Christmas gang!! I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas indeed!! I missed everyone very much. I'd meant to write a few posts on Saturday, but that's when my family had our Christmas...so by the time I got home and got settled down again I was too tired to do anything. I got almost...

Okay, I'm feeling a little better, but now I'm totally bored, so just for fun I thought I'd share with you all a few reasons why I'm actually glad I can't drive!! Ready? Here goes!!.... Reason #1: Maine roads and highways in wintertime....This should be pretty self-explanatory, folks!! Reason #2: My... Sign in to see full entry.
