Ok.. I didn't win the lottery, so had to go to work. No big deal.. same thing. If I ever do win the lottery I'll probably loose the ticket and never know it.. or misplace the ticket till it expires. Oh well, Work gets me out of the house, provides the means for which I pay bills to provide housing, utilities, food.. Cassie is wanting attention.. She feels deprived due to having to torment the fish all by herself all day. I know she sleeps on my pillow, it's always so nice and warm,l...

A friend of mine emailed me about a family. They had 4 boys and were involved in a wreck New Years Eve. Drunken driver hit the car.. and the youngest boy died. He was 4. While there are few ways that someone from far away can help.. she came up with a great idea. The boys need comforting. They need support, as does the entire family. So, several of us are knitting a few squares to send to her to add to others to make an afghan. We have the sizes needed and colors requested. Thi...

Ok.. sooo not fair. I'm up early.. everything the go to go to work. I warm up my car, move slowly out of my drive, and onto a street. I was about 1/2 mile from my home when a 4-wheel drive truck blew past me, fishtailed, forcing me to aim for the side of the road, and he didn't even slow down. I wish 4-wheel drive owners had to pass a drivers test explaining that 4-wheel drive doesn't mean a thing on ice!. You can't stop any faster! Gezzzzzzzzzzzz. I've driven in snow & ice sinc...

While a large percentage of people have the day off, I get to to work! While I was off work last week, today being a Federal Holiday, I get to go to work!. I would love to take the day off, using sick leave.. but as I only have 40 hours for the rest of the year, I'll bundle up against the cold,and brave the icy streets. Since I've cooked enough in the last few days, I have plenty for lunch, and have most of the meals for the week covered. It isn't so much that I mind my job once I'm ...

Yesterday my grandson was born. I'm still floating, being thankful he and his mother are doing well. I now have 2 grandchildren. One granddaughter, and one grandson. Oh the knitting I need to do! lol. I am on the edge of the ice storm to hit the midwest. Thankfully my area wasn't hit as bad as Oklahoma... I was there several yrs ago when a previous ice storm hit. It was not good. So, I moved north, and the cold has been here, as well as sleet. However, the freezing rain which is ...
