No Tears

I heard on Fox News about this site. It's a tribute to their son and soldiers. Take a look and maybe you can get a pen pal to boot.

I Ate and I Ate Some More

Thanksgiving Day woes is no less worse than walking out of a buffet. It hurts. Pepcid AC, Zantac, Peptal Bismol and Alkaseltzer is never available when you want it.
I have learned from Janet and Joe that my love handles are not love handles at all, but, muffin tops. I love the muffin top commercial and hope you enjoy it as well.

I always have a nice time in Branson when I visit my parents and any other family members that might be there. It's peaceful and cooler than where I live and the 5 hour drive is not bad unless you get stuck behind a 70 year old in a camper of some kind.
I hope everyone gets happy for the Christmas season. After all, it's not OUR birthday!

Time Again For Change

The summer has ended to a Very Happy me.
The leaves are all about gone off the trees from the wind storm that plowed through the area for two days. Some how the mighty maple trees tend to keep their leaves even through the strongest of storms. I hope one day to learn a lesson from them.

Super Heros Imagination

I believe that a child with an imagination is not dangerous as an adults. Every year for at least 3 years now I have catered to Sydney's imagination. Since I was a single mother I had to get him into boy things. I did the super hero route. And every year I go into national debt getting him every super hero outfit around Halloween time since they are readily available. I buy him every outfit from Super this and that to Ninja Turtle of which I could not find this year and settled for a pirate instead. And not to forget that Black Spiderman Goo.

Thanks Laura

The pastor entered his donkey in a race and it won. The pastor was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in the race again, and it won again. The local paper read: PASTOR'S ASS OUT FRONT The Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he ordered the pastor not to enter the donkey in another race. The next day, the local paper headline read: BISHOP SCRATCHES PASTOR'S ASS This was too much for the bishop, so he ordered the pastor to get rid of the donkey. The pastor decided to give it to a nun in a nearby convent. The local paper, hearing of the news, posted the following headline the next day: NUN HAS BEST ASS IN TOWN The bishop fainted. He informed the nun that she would have to get rid of the donkey, so she sold it to a farmer for $10. The next day the paper read: NUN SELLS ASS FOR $10 This was too much for the bishop, so he ordered the nun to buy back the donkey and lead it to the plains where it could run wild. The next day the headlines read: NUN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS WILD AND FREE The bishop was buried the next day. The moral of the story is . . being concerned about public"can bring you much grief and misery . .
even shorten your life.
So be yourself and enjoy life.

Stop worrying about everyone else's ass and you'll be a lot happier
and live longer!

WOW BABBBBY

Some night this really helps me get through a long shift

AHHHH AUTUMN

Funky For The Week

Roses and Candelight

No, This is not me on drugs. Just smeared make-up before I was able to wash it off.

After Jim and Sydney rode with me on my last trip we (Jim and Myself) came in tired. I walked Sydney over to the sitters house around noon. It was a nice 70 degrees outside and I had gotten FURIOUS at the little booger for not listening to me and talking back. I had to walk it off. It was a short 5 minute walk to the sitter's house, I dallied back taking in the pine trees scent. Jim and I started constructing and erecting the second wall. He re-wired the outside phone and cable lines through the attic. I tore apart a few black boards (see previous pictures) and swept up the debris making sure to catch any wandering nails.
I ordered Sesame Chicken, Beef with Mushrooms, Pork Fried Rice, Hot-n-Sour Soup and Egg Roles for our Thursday night alone. Just the two of us, I was to exhausted to cook dinner.
We ate and discussed how that this was the first Thursday night that we had together since I had hired the sitter for that one night alone. It was suppose to be OUR night together but it never happens to turn out that way. Jim usually sits home alone.
After dinner I just sat at the table almost unable to move from the famous Chinese Disease of "Draggin' Ass". Jim came in after being outside for a minute. He took me by the hand and shuffled me to the bathroom. Cinnamon Candles lined the two corners of the bath tub, sandalwood and rose scented bath wash from Bath and Body Works served for my bubbles, rose petals from the remaining rose bushes in the yard topped my white suds, I was in awe.

The First Wall Is Up

It did not take long but a few hours to construct and mount the wall. Jim was impressed that I could drive a nail. HaHaHa- silly man.
Jim went to doctor to have the umpteen cysts on his back looked at for pre-surgery. They are bad and need to be removed

Today we are going to Wally World to get family photos done for Christmas. I was suppose to leave for work this morning but forgot about the photo session, Then it's off to the "Rice Cave" as Sydney puts it.

Pond Updates Too!

It has been one busy day around here.

House Improvement Updates

The house is a buzz today as the workers work at at putting up the frames for the concrete. We are enclosing the carport to make way for a family room complete with my wood stove.
