Okay guys and gals, I've already had enough of this crazy Maine weather....So, my question is...Anyone here in blogland wanna run away with me???? Thus far my choices of local are as follows: 1: Australia (Since I've had no inquries to my ad as of yet, I'll just have to get the job done myself)!! 2:... Sign in to see full entry.

This morning I posted about my day being a blessing and a curse all at the same time. Well, I must say that overall, I felt extremely blessed today...Except for one small thing.... I still don't have the energy to write out the Christmas cards I keep meaning to...I didn't even have enough energy to... Sign in to see full entry.

For the past six days, roommie and I have been watching the old Christmas cartoons on the ABC Family channel's 25 Days of Christmas marathon. I love it!! Most of these specials I remember from when I was a kid. Some are new to me...but I love 'em all the same!! My absolute favourite cartoon will... Sign in to see full entry.

I just read Whacky's post about how her dad told her it made him feel better to have her with him, and it reminded me so much of my great grandpa. As I've said many, many times before, Grandpa was more than that to me...He was my best friend and also the father I never really had in a way. Nana and... Sign in to see full entry.

Hello everyone, Sorry I haven't posted much today. I meant to, but once again I'm tired and this stupid sore throat of mine won't quit!! I've been drinking a LOT of water though, which seems to be helping. Also, I'm going to get back on my hot lemon tea routine. That usually does the trick!! Anyway,... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone, I just got the most exciting news...My mother came by earlier today and gave me the best early Christmas present ever!! My brother's soon to be former wife is pregnant with twins, as some of you may remember. Well, she found out yesterday that she's carrying a boy and a girl!!! Mom told... Sign in to see full entry.

Today is one of those days that already has been both a curse and a blessing to me. Sure enough, I had to cancel my eye appointment this morning. Fortunately, both my eye doctor and his staff are extremely understanding of my condition it often poses for me. I won't make another appointment until... Sign in to see full entry.

I can't stop thinking of Mick. Or Nathan Aaron. I just hope Mick gets to spend Christmas day with my gorgeous little bugger this year!! Last time I actually heard from Mick, he was still working as a PCA in Northumberland. As a result, he had to work most holidays...Even the ones he was supposed to... Sign in to see full entry.

Don't get me wrong...I like to go to different stores to shop, and it actually makes me kinda sad that I can't do that anymore!! Mostly though, I miss being able to go to a store and playing with all the noise making Christmas display toys!! Unfortunately, department stores tend to be really... Sign in to see full entry.

I just got a letter from the Social Security office saying I'm about to get a twenty four dollar raise. The raise will become effective on 1 January, 1996. It isn't much obviously, but every little bit helps!! As of the new year, the total amount of money roommie and I receive every month will be... Sign in to see full entry.

Good afternoon, my friends... I meant to post this morning, but my mom stopped by for coffee so I didn't get a chance. I hope you're all having a fantastic day!! Okay, I hate to say this....but....I HATE CHRISTMAS SHOPPING!!!! I love everything else about the season...but each year I dread the... Sign in to see full entry.

Roommie and I are off to bed in a few minutes. What a day!! I'm exhausted but I have no idea why!! I think it's probably because of my joints. Also, its been snowing here again off and on today, and snow always makes me sleepy. Hmmm...Am I the only one with that problem???? Earlier this evening, I... Sign in to see full entry.

I just read Offbeats post about the loss of her friend's son this past Friday. It suddenly made me realise just how many people lose friends or loved ones right around the holiday season. Last night, I was watching RUDOLPH'S SHINY NEW YEAR...I did fine until they all started singing Have a Happy new... Sign in to see full entry.

No, I'm not speaking of that portion of LET IT SNOW...I mean the weather here IS frightful! Good afternoon, gang...I hope you're all having a fabulous Sunday!! I'm feeling a lot better since I managed to sleep quite well again last night and didn't wake until ten...But my throat is bothering me... Sign in to see full entry.

Wow, am I tired!! I had so many more posts I wanted to write for you all today...but once again, low energy seems to have plagued me. I didn't even have energy enough to work out today...Not a good thing!! I don't normally turn my computer on on Sundays, but I'll be making an exception for the next... Sign in to see full entry.

What on earth brought this thought to my head I don't know...But I have another Christmas wish to add to my list...but it isn't for me. It's for Paul. I don't know what religion he follows (though I do know he believes in God) but my wish is that it will snow for him this year. He loves the snow!!... Sign in to see full entry.

I must say, I'm incredibly humbled right now. I just found out I'm the blogger of the day!! I'm truly honoured to have been chosen...but beyond this, I really don't know what to say!! Actually, I'm sitting here trying not to cry...(Yes, I was THAT overwhelmed!!) Thank you so very much, Serenity... Sign in to see full entry.

This being the holiday season, I've been considering doing something...but to tell you all the truth, I'm not sure how to even begin going about it. Let me explain... I'm sure most of you have seen that show MOST EXTREME HOME MAKE OVER, right? Well, all morning long I've been considering contacting... Sign in to see full entry.

Talk about a bizare love-hate relationship... I HATE candy canes!!!! Well, at least the red and white peppermint flavoured ones, anyway...I've hated 'em for years now. I can think of one incident that may have set this off, but I won't say for certain it's the only one. When I was about seventeen... Sign in to see full entry.

HA!! I was right!! I just visited the website for my friend's coffee shop and guess what I found???? My ginger bread coffee is back!!! I'm going to order it for myself within the next few days. Fortunately, it's sold in regular and decaf, so I'm going to order one bag of each. I can't have caffeine... Sign in to see full entry.
