I am between nose drips and fighting dried cracked lips from blowing my nose so much. This is a freaking bad cold. I am considering crawling back into bed and passing out AGAIN!!! There is nothing worse than spending a beautiful day in bed. Talk about pure torture ( Read more... )

I have had so many things come to pass since I last updated my journal. People have come, people have gone, my snow globe of a life was turned upside down. I have snowflakes in my hair ( Read more... )

This morning's offbeat topic is about our very own lake monster named Champie. He resides between Vermont and New York in a fresh water lake called Lake Champlain. He is a legend and a mystery. Laws have been created to protect him, since bounties were placed on his head. Documented sightings have been around since the 1600. One famous being ( Read more... )

July has blessed me with 1,000 birthdays and commitments. I can't believe that so many people have been born in the month of July. If July is the month of giving birth, than October must be the Happy Humping Month.

Nothing like waking up bright and early to the sound of thunder. Fric and Frac still have that wild hair up their butt.

The other day Hubby and I went to a family friend's yard sale. He was selling a riding lawn mower for $100. We bought it in a heartbeat. Yesterday, Hubby was riding around the yard showing off. He has now triggered the lawn mower wars with the neighbor. We have a neighbor who likes to mow half of our lawn when he mows his. This leaves us with ( Read more... )

I live between the burdens and the joys. Everyday I carry my bundle of rods upon my back in denial. Fifteen years ago I made a serious mistake. This mistake haunts me like a 17 year locust upon the face of the Earth. Whenever I step outside without my umbrella, it downpours. I pull weeds or prune the shrubs and Lady Blue Liberty drives up on ( Read more... )

In the grassy field, next to the great woods, on the edge of the village, stood a little wooden soldier. So proud in his painted uniform, this tiny soldier held his rifle at his side. He was accidentally abandoned by his child leader while out playing in the afternoon sun. Tea time was called, the child picked up his toys and ran, forgetting our ( Read more... )
