I've became slack in my LJ posts.  I find myself going to myspace more than here for some reason.  
It's a rainy, cloudy day here today and all i've wanted to do is sleep.  We did go have a very yummy, country lunch at a little hole in the wall.  It was absolutely fantastic. Lots of good country cooking.  I even had some fried squash and butterbeans ( Read more... )

A very weird twist to my last post. I checked my email last night on a screen name that I rarely use only to find that my daughter had texted me pictures of the baby from her cell phone. Several of them. She asked me about my mother too. I was surprised, but at the same time not getting my hopes up. I reminded myself that she was living with ( Read more... )

I was up and down all night last night with a very sick little girl. I'm almost 100% sure that it has to be the flu. She started out with aches and pains, scratchy throat. She was coughing some yesterday before daycare, but not bad and no fever. When I picked her up from daycare yesterday I could tell that she felt like crap by looking at her, ( Read more... )

The view from my office window this morning.. It looks like it's SNOWING!! Of course, it's not really, but the stuff that's falling off the tree next to me looks just like snow. The last time it really snowed here was sometime in the 1990's. The other view is a crop duster spraying the field right across the street. I don't like watching planes and ( Read more... )

As soon as I got to work today, got the computer turned on and Coffee cooking.. I heard a big WHAM outside my office. I looked out and could see 2 cars smashed up pretty good and on opposite sides of the 4 lane. I immediately grabbed the phone and called 911. It took the officers way too long to get there, actually.. the ambulance made it there ( Read more... )

Oooooo after watching HGTV yesterday I saw the perfect solution to my storage problem. They did a segment where cabinets were placed in the utility room.. LOTS of cabinets.. almost like a kitchen sorta. My utility room is big.. like 12 x 20 or more, but it has LOTS of just empty, wasted space. What happens when you have empty space... you fill ( Read more... )

 
I know very little about some of the people on my friends list. Some people I know relatively well. I read your journals, or we have something else in common, and we chat occasionally. Some of you I hardly know at all. Perhaps you lurk, for whatever reason. But you friended me, and I thank you for your interest in my words.

But here's a thought: ( Read more... )

If all goes as planned.. I'm  headed to my Dad's for Thanksgiving for the first time ever!   I'm excited to say the least :) 

I found out last night that a couple that live in our neighborhood and have lived near me almost all my life out here, were killed in a Car/Horse trailer accident Friday night.  Both the husband and wife were killed.. they were in their 60's and were on their way back from their cabin in Colorado.   They were killed here in Louisiana, less than 2 ( Read more... )
