Happy HNT!

Life is just that way!

I have been so busy. I just have not had the time to blog or even have a moments rest. So tonight I'm resting. Until American Idol comes on! Yes I'm hooked...Thanks Tina!!! Spring has arrived and brought many changes. I just wish the weather would clear up so I could get some yard work done. I have been shopping for a new roof, and hope it will be up or should I say on soon. Then I am putting in a new fence!! I can't wait. My dog is going to love it!!

Work has been ok...Its travel time, which sometimes can be fun and sometimes a pain. This month both of my trips have been ones I can drive to. That makes it so much easier, unless its snowing!

My youngest son turned 13!!! He is a teenager now! What the hell am I gonna do?!!!! I suppose I made it 13 years rasing him alone I have to just keep on keeping on!

Hope all has been well with you.

I'm still hanging in there!!!

DO YOU REMEMBER A TIME WHEN...

Decisions were made by going "eeny-meeny-miney-moe"?
Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming, "Do Over!"?
"Race issue" meant arguing about who ran the fastest?
Catching the fireflies could happily occupy an entire evening?
It wasn't odd to have two or three "Best Friends"?
The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was "cooties"?
Having a weapon in school meant being caught with a slingshot?
A foot of snow was a dream come true?
Saturday morning cartoons weren't 30-minute commercials for action figures?
"Oly-oly-oxen-free" made perfect sense?
Spinning around, getting dizzy, and falling down was cause for giggles?
The worst embarrassment was being picked last for a team?
War was a card game?
Baseball cards in the spokes transformed any bike into a motorcycle?
Taking drugs meant orange-flavored chewable aspirin?
Water balloons were the ultimate weapon?

If you can remember most or all of these, then you have lived!!!!!!! ..the perfect age is somewhere between old enough to know better and too young to care.

Pass this on to anyone who may need a break from their "grown-up" life .. I double-dog-dare-ya

You

You called today. The sound of your voice instantly brought me to tears, because I knew there are hundreds of things I want to say, but I'm afraid. So I took the only road I know and was not kind. I'm sorry....I don't know why I do it........

Word for the day!

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger,

more complex, and more violent.

It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction.

Albert Einstein

TGIF

The best things in life are nearest:
Breath in your nostrils,
light in your eyes,
flowers at your feet,
duties at your hand,
the path of right just before you.
Then do not grasp at the stars,
but do life's plain, common work as it comes,
certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things in life.



Robert Louis Stevenson

Have a super weekend!!!

Far Away Lyrics

All The Right Reasons :Nickleback

This time,

This place

Misused,

Mistakes

Too long,

Too late

Who was I to make you wait

Just one chance

Just one breath

Just in case there’s just one left

‘Cause you know, you know,

you know

That I love you I have loved you all along

And I miss you

Been far away for far too long

I keep dreaming you’ll be with me and you’ll never go

Stop breathing if I don’t see you anymore

On my knees, I’ll ask

Last chance for one last dance

‘Cause with you, I’d withstand

All of hell to hold your hand

I’d give it all I’d give for us

Give anything but I won’t give up

‘Cause you know, you know, you know

That I love you I have loved you all along

And I miss you

Been far away for far too long

I keep dreaming you’ll be with me and you’ll never go

Stop breathing if I don’t see you anymore

So far away

Been far away for far too long

So far away

Been far away for far too long

But you know, you know, you know

I wanted I wanted you to stay

‘Cause I needed I need to hear you say

That I love you I have loved you all along

And I forgive you

For being away for far too long

So keep breathing

‘Cause I’m not leaving

Hold on to me and never let me go

If you had that one last chance to make a wrong right.

Would you take it?

No matter the outcome?

Music....

gives wings to the mind,

a soul to the universe,

flight to the imagination,

a charm to sadness,

a life to everything.

Happy HNT!

Family Dinner

Tuesday nights my family gets together and has dinner. My mother decided we should do this after my dad passed away. Sometimes we go out, sometimes we take turns cooking. I was going to pass on dinner last night but decided it was what I needed to do. So I cooked Scampi for my family! My mother and I even broke out the Miluakee's best and shared some of that nasty stuff. My mom and I seldom drink, so one was enough for us.

Which brings me to another point. Some people assume that just because I own a bar, I must be a heavy drinker. This makes me mad, coming from a family of alcoholic's I pride myself that I did not fall into this trap. Why do people do that?

So tonight I will start back into my exercise routine. I have decided to fight my depression instead of letting it take me down.

Have a super Hump Day!!

Sick!!

I spent my 3 day weekend sick with a cold!! It seems like it will never end. I did manage to get the house clean and do laundry. So now I am at work and I feel like I was robbed of my weekend. It sucks!

The high light of my weekend was picking out my dad's headstone. Ok I admit I am depressed. I really do not post about my private feeling on here, but the depression has grabbed hold of me and I can't shake it. I am no stranger to it, and usually I can handle it. It just feels so overwhelming right now.
I find it easier to hide from the world, put on the happy smiley face, so you can't see my pain. I'm tired and I just want to sit and cry!

TGIF!!

Three day weekends.....got to love them!!!

Have a super weekend!!

Half Nekkid Thursday!

Today I want to hide from the world................

OMG!!

Guess what I got for Valentine's Day?!!!!!!

Give up??!!!!

I actually received one of those heavy breather phone calls!!!!

That kind of stuff scares the shit out of me!!!

I hope you all had a better V day!

Have a super hump day!!!!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Hope you all have a super day!!!

Do I have to work?!!

I actually got off my ass and did something this weekend! Saturday was super busy. I fixed my chainsaw. The new chain that someone put on for me was on backwards! It wont cut shit that way. So I fixed it and then decided to trim my Pomegranate tree. Well it got a good trimming. Nothing like a little chainsaw therapy to start out your day!

Both of my boys are sick and my sister also. But that did not stop us from attending the Annual Youth football crab feed. I actually won a manicure and a nice cold 12 pack of Milwaukeaa's Best (YUCK YUCK YUCK).

Spent most of Sunday shopping! Got to love that!

Well I suppose I should get ready for work!

Have a super Monday! (I know mine will suck)

TGIF!

Nothing in the world is more valuable

than every moment of your life.

Horoscopes

Yes I do read my Horoscope everyday: Below was mine from yesterday!


What's absolutely necessary to your life and happiness? You might be surprised at what makes the list and what doesn't. (Hint: Fancy cars that go very fast are, surprisingly, not on there.) It's time to pare down.

I actually have been thinking about trading in my car for a nice family sedan. Its just me and my youngest son. So I though it was funny that it was in my Horoscope. So I put some more thought into it and decided:

FUCK IT!!! Its my mid life crisis. I'm keeping it!!!!



Have a super Monday!!!

Word for the day!

Even if you have a lot of work to do,

if you think of it as wonderful,

and if you feel it as wonderful,

it will transform into the energy of joy and fire,

instead of becoming a burden.

Usually my "words for the day" motivate me.

I think this one is a crock of crap!

Thought I would show some legs this Thursday!!! I posted 2 because I have been a bad blogger lately!!!!!


Have a super HNT!!!

WOO HOO!!

I finally slept all night!!!!!!!

Have a super Hump day!!!

Bad Blogger!!

I have been so bad at blogging lately. Just not enough time in the day to get it all in. My youngest son is still ill and we had to make another visit to the doctor today. Hopefully his new meds will do the trick.

Work has kept me busy...busy!!!!

Dealing with my fathers trust has been a whole diffrent issue. I just want to shut it out. I really want my dad back, but I know that can not happen. So its just a day by day thing to deal with.

I still can't sleep through the night! Its driving me nuts!!!

It also seems someone from my past has decided to start messing with my life! Well they are messing with the wrong person! So back off!!!

Miss ya all!!!

Trouble creates a capacity to handle it....

meet it as a friend,

for you'll see a lot of it

and had better be on speaking terms with it.



Oliver Wendell Holmes



Have a super Tuesday!!!

One day my housework-challenged husband decided to wash his Sweatshirt. Seconds after he stepped into the laundry room, he shouted to me, "What setting do I use on the washing machine?"
"It depends," I replied. "What does it say on your shirt?"
He yelled back, "University of Texas."

And they say blondes are dumb...

I have been sitting here looking at my blog trying to think of something creative to write. All I can think of is this:

See that angel in my header?

I wish I had an ass like that.

Have a super Tuesday!!!!!!

Monday...Monday!!

Some days don't ya just want to say FUCK IT!!!!!

Nuff said!!

Woo Hoo!!

Its finally Friday! My only problem is that is 4:30 am and here I sit at my computer. I really have not slept all night for some time now. I was thinking last night would finally be the night I slept....WRONG!!!

My son and I have both have had a cold for weeks. We both seemed to be getting better. Well at 3:30 am my son wakes me up in tears with an ear ache! So today I take my son to the doctor. Spend the day stressing about him. We'll watch movies and play games if he feels up to it. I have a feeling he will sleep most of the day.

As for work I have been really not been all the enthusiastic about my job lately, maybe its the grieving the loss of my father I don't really know. Maybe I'm just tired of the B.S. I enjoy a challenge with my work and the everyday mundane work bores me to death.

I was hired to help the company I work for get caught up on their audits. We have completed 4 years in the 2 I have been there. They where a tad bit behind...Don't ya think! Well things are up and running and I guess I'm feeling bored. I suppose I still have that wonderful software conversion to keep the challenge up.

I still miss my dad every day and end up in tears every time I pass his house on the way to work and then again on the way home. I pass this off as allergies! I hope it gets easier with time. My step-mom has freaked out. She always had been somewhat unstable mentally, but she made my dad happy and that was all that mattered to me. Her father passed away 1 week after my dad. So she has been hit with a double whammy! My sister is a mess because she has to handle my fathers trust. I have told both my parents Do not put my name on anything cause I don't want to deal with the crap. But now I have to help my sister so what's the difference?! I fear she is on the edge.
Its a fucking mess!!! I just want to curl up in a ball and sleep until its all over.....I know I can't do that...But it sure sounds good.

I have rambled enough!

Hope you all have a great weekend!!!!!

Thursday Already?!!!

I hope you all enjoy this weeks photo.

My day in a nutshell!

Today I learned from my step-mom the following:

1. I'm crazy!
2. I go on wild tangents!
3. I owe my father money!
4. I drive a $100,000 car!! (Ya right!)
5. I ruined the transmission in my step moms truck over 13 years ago! (I never have driven it)

Woo Hoo!!!!

I'd post more on my step-mom's mindless ratings, but really what is the point!

So how was your day?!!!

1 Year old!

As of the 12th I have been blogging for a year now. I will have to say it has been a crazy year!!

It has had its many ups & downs. I suppose all in all I have really enjoyed it.

I know I have not been blogging to much latley, but will be back to normal blogging soon. The death of my father has some what slowed me down and then my son & I got the dreaded cold/flu!! Things seem to be returning to normal...Thank God!!!!

Thanks to all who stop but and read my mindless ratning.
Thanks to all the lurkers also!!!

Half Nekkid Thursday!

I have been so busy with other things, I had to pull this old one out! Sorry folks I should be back up and running soon!

Have a Happy HNT!!!!

It is a wholesome and necessary thing for us

to turn again to the earth and in the contemplation

of her beauties to know of wonder and humility.

Sunday Update!

I spent all day resting and not doing much of anything. I seem to have caught a nasty cold.
My Fathers service was so hard, but it was amazing the number of people who showed up and shared their feelings and experiences. People I did not even know told me of how much my Father had helped them. I was very touched, to know that my Dad had touched so many people.

Thank you again for all your prayers. They have meant so much to me.

What a week!

To say I have had the week from hell is an understatement. I want to thank all of you who have commented on my last post. Your words have helped for through a very difficult time. Today will probably be the hardest, as the funeral is today. My fathers death was sudden and unexpected. He had been in remission from cancer for 1 1/2 years and I am thankful for every day. He passed very peacefully in the home he was born in. My father always had a knack for making holidays an unforgettable event so I guess to die on News Years Eve and my birthday to boot was not out of the ordinary. It was just his way. I know right now I should be getting ready, but I can't. It's so hard to say good by.

Thanks to all of you, and may your weekend be a great one!

There will never be a New Year Eve like this one...I just saw that on TV. I was not going to write about tonight because the feelings are still to new, but I feel I need to. Today is December 31, the last day in 2005. I turned 42 today and I held my fathers hand and told him I loved him and kissed him good bye, for the last time. Not just for the year but forever. My father passed away tonight. I miss him already. Tomorrow will bring a new year and a new begining, but I will still miss him.

2005

As 2005 winds down, I suppose its time to make a list of all the memorable things that have happen in 2005. Ok so here goes..........Shit I really can't think of anything.

Happy New year to all of you!!!
While your out enjoying whats left of 2005 have a drink for me, because Its my BIRTHDAY!!!

Kisses & Hugs to all of you!!

The day after!

Christmas this year was full of many surprises. Just being surrounded by family and friends is the greatest gift. This year I received a great Christmas surprise. Every year I take great care with my children's stocking. The stockings are one of the best memories my children have of Christmas. This year I hung 4 stockings. One for each of my 2 boys, one for my oldest son's girlfriend and of course one for me. Every year on Christmas morning the stockings are full and its the first thing my children open. Of course mine hangs empty. This year I woke up around 1am on Christmas morning, unable to sleep. So I went into the living room to make sure all was in place for the morning, and much to my surprise, My stocking was also full. The tears of joy started to fall and I knew that all was well. It touched my heart so much to find out that my oldest son and his girlfriend had snuck into my home late in the night and left me with this wonderful gift. I know Christmas is not all about gifts, and the love those children left me in that stocking filled my heart with so much joy.

I hope you all had an amazing Christmas!!

Merry Christmas

I want to wish each and everyone of my blogger friends who stop by and read my ramblings.
A very Merry Christmas.
I feel truly blessed to know you all.

Apples & Wine

Apples and Wine

Women are like apples on trees.
The best ones are at the top of the tree.
Most men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt.
Instead, they sometimes take the apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy.
The apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they're amazing. They just have to wait for the right man to come along, the one who is brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.

Now Men....
Men are like a fine wine.
They begin as grapes, and it's up to women to stomp the shit out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.

Have a super Tuesday!

My new Grandpuppy!

My new grandpuppy arrived last night! He is so cute.
This weekend has been nuts. I have been recovering from a major pulled muscle,(do not ask how) so I have not got much done. The muscle relaxers and pain meds make my brain stupid. I really hate that feeling. Thanks to the internet I was able to get most of my Christmas shopping done in my PJ'S!! Got to just love that. I'm working my my list of 101 things about me, but under the influence of drugs its kinda hard. I guess I should just post what I have and go from there.

Hope you all had a great weekend!

Reindeer Facts

According to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, while both male and female reindeer grow antlers in the summer each year, male reindeer drop their antlers at the beginning of winter, usually late November to mid-December. Female reindeer retain their antlers till after they give birth in the spring.

Therefore, according to EVERY historical rendition depicting Santa's reindeer, EVERY single one of them, from Rudolph to Blitzen, had to be a girl.

We should've known... ONLY women would be able to drag a fat-ass man in a red velvet suit all around the world in one night and not get lost.

Word for the day

You don't get to choose how you're going to die.

Or when.

You can decide how you're going to live now.

Joan Baez

Well after my day off and power shopping it's back to work for me. It;s a good thing I love my job(gag). No really I do. Its getting up early that sucks. I am really not a morning person. I will ramble more later. I need to get ready for work.

Have a super Tuesday!

Christmas Shopping!!

Its a total pain!! I took today off from work so I could shop all day. It really was not to busy. I'm glad I went on a weekday. I have been shopping all day! But I did pick up some really cute things at Victorias Secret....I got a gift card for my birthday so I treated myself......Even though my birthday is a couple of weeks off. I did get lots of shopping done today, thank God. Every year I tell myself not to wait until the last minute, but I never listen to myself. I did most of my shopping online so I just have a few more things to pick up and Im DONE!!!!! Then I have to wrap it all!!! Christmas is so much work!!

I also just found out I am getting a new grandpuppy, my son has promised no actual grandkids for awhile. So this week my new grandpuppy will fly into the airport, that must be really scary for a pup. He is an English Bulldog, my son has always wanted one so he and his girlfriend gave it to each other as a Christmas gift. I picked him up a book today about the care of this type of dog. I also picked up a copy of Post Secret. Its a blog that is so awesome if you have not checked it out you should. There is a link in my sidebar, head on over and check it out!! So anyway I can't wait to see him and I will post pictures when he gets here.

Hope you all had a great Monday!

Thank You!!!

Seldom do I get political on here but on this issue I firmly support our governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's decision not to grant Clemency to former Crips gang leader Stanley Tookie Williams. So woopie doo...The man wrote some books about staying out of gangs that he helped form and these gangs continue to kill. My question is where would he be now if he had not been convicted. Writing books to help kids? I think not!!! He had a right to a fair trial, which he got. He had the right to file God knows how many freaking appeals, as far as I am concerened he now has no rights.

Have a super Monday!!

The Tree!!!!

The tree is done!! I even got some shopping done.I just love Christmas.

Have a super weekend!!

Thank the Lord above the Christmas tree is up and half decorated!! I still have tons of shopping to do. So tomorrow is up early for me, got to finish the tree, get my nails done, do some shopping, some more decorating and then I'm getting really really drunk!!!!!!!!!

Have a super weekend!!

Happy HNT!!!

"The eyes are the windows to the soul"




So what do you see in mine?

Happy HNT!!!!

Happy Birthday!!!

Today is my oldest son's Birthday. It so hard to believe its been 22 years.Thats right at 7:07pm I gave birth to a 9 pound 2 oz baby boy! It seems like just not to long ago he was just a baby. I guess he will always be my baby in my heart. I am very proud of him. Holy shit 22 years!!!!! That just can't be right. I'm still so young and youthful! No...Its right. Oh lord I'm getting old!! Not much I can do about it. I still feel young and I guess that's all that matters. 22 freaking years...I'm just not dealing with this well. I think beer & tequila will help. Yep that should do it!!!

Hope you all have a super Hump day!!!

Let there be light!!

Lessons I learned today....

1. Short people should always use a ladder when checking the fuse box that is to high for you to reach.

2. You should always wear your glasses when checking the fuse box so that you can see the blown fuse.

3. Blown fuses are easy to see if you have are standing on a ladder with your glasses on!!

What's Next?!

The weekend went fast as usual. I did manage to get some Christmas shopping done and some of the decorations are up and I got my oldest son's birthday present, picking out the card was rough..Yes I'm the women in the card section crying...why do they have to make them so emotional? I'm still searching for my mind which seems to be on permanent vacation.....LOL...... I'm beginning to think I lost it along time ago and have just now realized its gone. As I was getting ready for work this morning and doing my usual talking to GOD asking for guidance and asking that question I always do " When are you going to be done testing me?" Seriously I think I have been through enough and its time GOD let up on me a little. I head into my bedroom as the power goes off!! I panic thinking my hair is still wet and now what am I gonna do?, about that time my son points out that its just my room and we have power in the rest of the house. So I throw on my robe and out in the freezing cold I head to the breaker box. It all looks good there, so off I head to the basement to check out the fuse box. Its then I realize I don't know how to tell if a fuse is bad, so I change the ones I think are bad and still no luck. I have to go to work because I am such a dedicated employee and payroll needs to be done. So here I sit wondering how I am gonna fix this problem. Yesterday I had to put on my plumber hat at the bar and unclog a sink that was not draining. The crap that comes out of them is really gross!! I call my mom and she says she will come over after work and check it out for me. You have got to love my MOM she can just about do anything, except use a computer or a cell phone, the new technology throws her for a loop, but she can do plumbing and electric and construction. She has taught me well and normally I can do most of the home repairs myself. But I do tend to panic, thinking the worst and with my mind still missing is not helping. So yesterday I was a plumber and tonight I will be an electrician!! I am woman hear me ROAR!!! So I'm sure that I will have power back in my room by tonight. Well I just seem to be rambling, but I guess its my blog and I can if I want.

Hope you all have a super Monday!!

Slowly I feel my mind returning to me, it seems to be coming back slowly, almost as if it is afraid. Or maybe it is I who is afraid? I sure miss it, but I do hope it had a wonderful time while it was gone.
