I went with my brother to the gun range yesterday. SOOO Fkn cool! I asked dh if I could use his 9mm and surpisingly he said yes. I didn't think he'd let me take it to the range unless I was going with him. D forgot the damn camera but I had him take a couple pictures with my phone. Since my ever so sweet dh told his Verizon buddy "just a basic ( Read more... )

I have discovered a new hobby....quite as addicting as crocheting is. I took ds to karate class last week and stuck around for one of the community classes. This one was crafting, and the particular lesson was scrapbooking. I had my yarn bag with me, and had some pictures my friend C gave me of my daughter at the park in it. I just kept forgetting ( Read more... )

i've been running at a hectic pace virtually nonstop for a few weeks. being tired all the time prompts my immune system to tuck its tail between its proverbial legs and run. i've got a sore throat and something is trying to catch me...if it hasnt already. i am apparently allergic to ecchinacea - niiiice, no herbal remedy for me. i started popping ( Read more... )

I have learned more about my mom since her death than I knew about her when she was alive. She guarded her story closely and didn't let anyone in to learn it. I always thought my mom was just off her rocker and out of her mind and just didn't get it. She got it, but just didn't want me to see that part of her story. It was just one of many seams in ( Read more... )

I've crossed into a new decade...but I don't look it. Fine by me. I'm just that much closer to being an empty nester. I'll be 45 when my youngest is considered an adult. If you can call that a perk to having kids young.....anyway...I am going out with friends for my birthday and making a great time for myself. My sister told me to lower my ( Read more... )

i'm not dead, so i must have more strength. now if i can just get this immune system back in order....my asthma reacts to things differently than other people, so i have to be careful about taking certain things. last year i took echinacea goldenseal and later learned that i was probably allergic to the goldenseal which is why i wasnt getting ( Read more... )

My dad cried this morning. Out of lonliness and frustration. It can be fixed, but those who need to fix it aren't doing anything to fix it. I'm just glad to have some really awesome friends that let me vent. This is all taking a toll on me and my own household and I now have to start shifting balances which is going to leave my dad more alone. I ( Read more... )

I woke up ok this morning. Somewhere between coffee and the grocery store to get a couple things PMS made a sneak attack. I got home in a foul mood. My house has been a mess because I have not been home to deal with much of anything. When I am home, I just want to chill out and escape into the vortex of the net. I also resent the inactivity of the ( Read more... )

my mom's guestbook entries will be deleted tonight because it's not sponsored. it's not much but it's something at least. so i'm copying and pasting it here ( Read more... )
