The summer has flown by, as usual. Honestly I always look forward to FALL. My absolute favorite season of the year. The things about summer I like are usually food-related....haha. Fresh strawberries and Indiana corn on the cob ( Read more... )

I haven't updated this thing forever! I can't post with my internet set-up at home (but I can read...weird). I know, I know..I need to get out of the 90's and have real internet access on a real computer. My sister-in-law even gave me a computer at the beginning of the year and I haven't even thought about setting it up. But honestly, my web tv has ( Read more... )

I have never cared for meat. I was always trying to be a vegetarian from a very young age. I quit eating it altogether in 8th grade. Animal rights have always been an issue to me, but not the only one. I just think eating meat is GROSS. Period. So yesterday I got a takeout sandwich and somehow their toppings got mixed together because there was a ( Read more... )

My sister is a hopeless animal lover. She cannot turn away a stray animal. Ever. Right now she has 3 dogs and at LEAST several cats...all rescues. So I take the kids to the neighborhood pet shop yesterday to buy fish food, and there is a free Persian cat to good home sitting there when I walk in. So I strike up a conversation with the CUTE (20 ( Read more... )

That means I have four days straight with my dear husband! haha! I love him to death but the man drives me crazy sometimes. Like tonight for example...I will be in my usual hyper Saturday night form. Ready to watch The Office on PBS and play Pac Man. Nooo....he will park himself on the couch and proceed to watch the NeckCar...I mean NasCar race. He ( Read more... )

This has been one of the most stressful weeks I have had. Ever. I can't really go into details, though. Nothing bad *directly* happened to me but loads of stuff has happened to people I love, and that may just be worse ( Read more... )

We have been sooo busy. Seems like we have run around like crazy every day for the last 10 days or so. Last weekend was especially nuts. My whole family went out to dinner for my grandmother's 80th birthday. It was nice, but also kinda awkward. Lots of tension/drama going on in the family and it was just too obvious. We also got together with Byron ( Read more... )

I had a doctor appt. the other day at the office that I used to work at. It was REALLY weird being in there! I even walked by my old desk. I quit when my oldest was 9-months-old. That was a loooong time ago. But it doesn't really seem like it. There are some things I miss about that job. Most of it I do NOT miss, though. Good memories, though. I ( Read more... )

Not sure why but since the LJ upgrades my browser will not let me post new entries. UGH. The only "loophole" that I have found is to go to my last entry and "edit" - which means erase the whole darn thing and type a new one. Ok then.
Too tired to type an update now, though. I've had a crappy day and I am up past my bedtime. :)
