It has been awhile since I have had time to post.  But I think I have caught up on most of my friends pages.  You all rock!

I am now 6 week post hyster.  and I feel pretty darn good.  I realize I have been in denial about Christmas but I am getting there.  I returned to the choir and that is a blessing.  I love the church Christmas music and we are ( Read more... )

It is a glorious day outside.  Yesterday I let 16 year old drive me around for errands.  By the time I was done at Lowe's, I was ready to go home.  My pelvis and hips were screaming at me.  Today I have been puttering around the house and yard.  Listening to my Ipod and dancing around the house.  I am one of those people who cannot sit still ( Read more... )

It was just so cool!

*sigh* I can handle just about all stories about evil, except when they have to do with children.  For the people who participate in porn rings that involve children, well as far as I am concerned death is to easy on them.  And now here we have Madelaine who disappeared in the middle of the night while her young siblng slept nearby and her parents ( Read more... )
