So yeah, there's really nothing new or exciting to post that has happened in my life.  I turned another year older in October and became another year wiser (was kinda funny actually).  OH, yeah, Fred Meijer passed away on Black Friday so now everyone is worried about what's going to happen to the company.  I guess only time will tell ( Read more... )

     So yeah, I was checking posts on another website that I'm part of (www.menwhoknit.com)  I found out that a really nice guy on there passed away yesterday from testicular cancer.  He was only 30, still so young.  Anyways, someone posted something that they found out here on livejournal...apparently Friday July 31 is going to be the first ( Read more... )

     So yeah, I just finished having a root beer float for desert tonight.  I realized this week that there are certain foods to me that say "summer:"  root beer floats, hot dogs and hamburgers from the grill, corn on the cob, watermelon, and breaded tenderloin sandwiches.   So yeah, those are just foods that scream summer to me.  I wonder what ( Read more... )

     So yeah, just got off the phone with Mel.  It was a nice hour and half conversation on the phone.  It actually left me smiling.  Something I have a hard time doing on my own.  We talked about what went on today, what's going on tomorrow, his new job starting next week, and most importantly, how how he's doing ( Read more... )

So yeah, the roommate calls me Thursday night and just says that we're getting a security system in the house and wanted my opinion.  I told him my opinion doesn't matter since he's going to get the damn thing anyways.  It's now installed.  I felt safer without it.  LOL.  There are sensors on the windows, doors, and motion sensors in the house.  I  ( Read more... )

     After about two years of bitching and waiting, it finally happened.  My closet finally got fixed up and we put up the closet organizer stuff tonight.  It looks awesome  I can't wait to get organizing and de-clutter my room some.  More to come on the progress and I do plan to write about my holidays here shortly.  I'm so excited to get

     So yeah, bought $5 worth of scratch off tickets (5) on Saturday and just now got to scratch them off (forgot I had them).  I won $36.  YAY!  This is like the third time I've bought scratch off tickets.  Wondering if I should play more often.  I have thought about it, but would try to only spend $5 a week, $10 at most.  Any thoughts or concerns

     So yeah, I went to the Celine Dion concert last night.  I was so happy.  Her opening act was crap, in my opinion.  He was trying to be this Robin Williams singer type person.  I didn't find him all that funny, but again, that's me.  This being my first concert and it being Celine Dion just made the night perfect.  And I got to spend it with a ( Read more... )

     So yeah, just finished watching "Front of the Class" and it was wonderful.  It's about a guy who has Tourette's syndrome and about his struggle to become a teacher he always wanted to be.  But, damn, that movie made me cry.  I cried when one of his students died because of cancer.  I cried when he had a heart to heart talk with his dad.  I  ( Read more... )
