Ok.. errands done. Housework done. I've got to replace tags on car today.. and that is about it. I've got to start being more adventurous. I know it's warm out there.. ( It was over 80 yesterday), but I've got to bite the bullet and get out more. During the winter, I'm hardly ever home..but now that warm spring is here.. I hate the allergies.. but... I'll pop the pill.. go change the tags,, and reward myself with a cold beverage... Then take the trash out.. and who knows. I've got to ...

I am a creature of habit. I usually take the same way to and from work. To and from the store, etc. Well, today the world was so beautiful outside I decided to take a detour. I saw garage sale sign... and well the car just unexpectedly stopped. (previous owner must have programmed that into it). I looked around.. and saw some books.. then... THEN!!!!!! yarn... knitting books... YES YES YES. I made a haul. I bought 6 books... none of which I had ever seen but one.. and a b...

I'm off to run about a dozen errands. Then, I'm going to stay home & finish up all those projects I've kept meaning to finish. I'm in a down mood, and might as well get stuff done I really don't want to do. Work sucks.. won't go into it except to say.. they are making the stockholders happy at the expense of the workers.. but who cares about the workers. Family issues are still there.. but, at this time, nothing can be done. So, when all the errands are done, the odd projects don...

Beautiful day.. sunny mid 50's... the weatherman really needs to get a life.. teasing about snow.. then nothing... reminds me of a lot of men I know.. I can relate to Dorthoy ( of Wizzard of Oz fame..) most of the men I've attracted lately, they are cowards, have no heart.. or are in need of a brain. Oh well, Life goes on.. The sun is shinning, beautiful weather, and I'm cleaning house.. after working all day.. my life is soo exciting I just can't stand it. take care, thanks ...

Finally Mother Nature is doing somehing for me that I truly love. Cold weather. We even have a chance of snow this weekend. Whether or not we do get snow is a mute point... It is still cold. Maybe more of the mosquites will be killed... Maybe some of the pollen that plaques me will be killed. I know... so please do not tell me all the money that is being lost due to the weather. I know the cost of heating etc. But, I can't change Mother Nature. So.. I'm going to enjoy it. I'm tr...

While I'm not a baseball fan.. I've hit life a line drive and knocked him out, I've circled the bases and scored a home run!. Without going into detail.. I've taken a new look at life. I am me. I am not perfect.. but I am me. Recently there has been a major disruption in my family life. Suffice it to say.. I can not change the past.. I'm going on with the future, and not looking back. I can't live in the past.. I have to face forward, or knowing me I'll fall flat on my face. Life...

Just when I was actually getting things settled... sorted out.. and actually almost relaxed life through me a curve. A big one.. that may take quite a while to work out. It is family oriented and sucker punched me. I truly didn't see it coming. I sometimes wish life could be video'd and played back so all could see what really happened at a given time. But, life isn't like that... so.. time alone is what will heal this... I can not go into details due to the private nature, but ...

Ok.. KC is gettting hit w/ records lows.. but, if anyone would bother to remember the old wives tale & the Farmer's Almanak, eveone knows not to plant before Easter. (ducking from all the stuff thrown at me) I have friends who have planted their spring flower gardens, only to have them get bit by the frost bug. I tried to tell them.. but no they knew more than the old timer's. Meanwhile, I get to enjoy a bit more of the cool temps, hopefully it will kill a few more bugs. So... ...

HI.. It's been a crazy week... Finally was found on the pay site... survivied working for the weekend- and actually did nothing all day Sunday. Work has been crazy.. but tomorrow 8 hrs.. then off 3 days. I do have to go register the new to me car, get plates,etc. that cuts out 1 day. I've been told not to expect to finish everything before 8 hours. Oh yeah.. I have to get a new DL as well.. such fun. Daughter & her family doing fine, grandkids growing and changing.. thank good...

OK. I live in an apartment. I had a home.. hated the upkeep etc. so.. moved.. decided on an apartment for awhile. They had online bill pay.. wonderful.. did that every month. THEN.. they changed providers. The new one doesn't recognize my name or unit. My complex doens't know what our resident id is... but.. they say call the new provider, they will help. I've called for 2 hours.. no one is there. It's CA, they are still asleep! I have appointments, and other shit to do. I ca...

I love spring... I love the flowers, the trees, the look of fresh grass.. all the wonders of the earth waking up from its winter nap... But my allergies hate it. I haven't actually counted the days till the first frost... but I know within 1 to 2 weeks... I'll be wishing for freezing weather again. I prefer the cold. My allergies are happier, I don't keep kleenex profits up by myself... but, alas,, living where I do. I have to battle the allergies. I take pills.. I switch off as my...

I have a new to me car. When I bought it I knew the brakes would need replacing. Last night I went to have them looked at... $440+. I about died. I was at my girfriends.. and just handed her the phone.. letting them explain to her what was wrong. Immediately all her friends pulled out cell phones & procedded to call their car guys. Today I went to a nice little shop.. Fixed my brakes.. (I didn''t need rotors, and the back brakes were fine) all for $129.00 Very nice, showed & explain...

OK, so far this year, I've survived the IRS, my car blowing up, the dishwasher & washing machine going nuts, and the birth of my grandson. Does anyone realize it is only now March!!!!!!!!!! I am ready for the rest of the year to go smooth. I mean smooth as smooth. I'm still dealing w/ the IRS.. but, will survive. New car doing great, and other machines are fine. Grandson is growing like a weed, and big sister still loves him to pieces. I'm ready for spring, a new arrival.. ...

Why do I have insomnia every Sunday evening? It is getting really old. I'm exhausted come Monday morning, and that isn't the way I like to start the week. I've tried everything, and my Dr. isn't one for sleeping pills.. especially since it's only 1 x a week. Well, sometimes it's 2 or 3 x a week, but mostly Sunday nights.. It isnt that I hate my job.. It's tollerable... I just can't wind my mind down to sleep! gezzzzz this is soooo no fun. Take care, I'm going to go read, thanks...

A week ago my dishwasher went out, then the washer, then my car. Monday the washer was fixed, Tuesday the dishwasher, and Thursday I have a new car. Do I want to go through another week like that? In a word NO. It has been crazy, frustrating, and at times almost suicidal. But it is over. My washer works, my dishwasher is fine, and the car runs great. Now, I'm still trying to catch up getting all the stuff done I wasn't able to do during the insanity. If it weren't for 2 dea...
