For Today...

October 25...

Outside my window...The neighbors dog Cisco wagging his tail at something only he can see. Our tree by Nell's house has turned a beautiful yellow color for fall. So pretty!

I am thinking...That maybe I should go back and lay down for a late nap.

I am thankful for...for my dogs that make me so happy right now. They have been keeping me laughing for the last couple of days!


From the kitchen...No smells coming from the kitchen right now. We haven't been grocery shopping for some time now. :(

I am wearing...My pink and black polka dot pajamas.

I am creating...My first blog post in a long long time! Feels good!

I am going...To go and get me something cold to drink. I'll be right back!

I am reading...Some book about the daughter of a funeral home director. I don't remember the name of it because I just started a couple days ago and haven't picked it up since.

I am hoping...That I hear about a job opportunity real soon.

I am hearing...Scott talking about Brett Favre. Someone outside mowing the grass, probably for the last time this year.

Around the house...Very quiet except for the TV going. A very boring and lazy weekend. Like always around here.

One of my favorite things...Honey and Willie both laying here by my feet!

A few plans for the rest of the week: Hoping to finally get a dentist appointment and maybe a call for an interview or two. Tuesday I might take a ride with Nichole to Fayettville and go to Hobby Lobby. Yay!

Here is a picture for thought that I am sharing...

I Need To Start Back Up...

Gosh! I have been wanting so bad to pick up this blog again and start writing. I think I am going to. Just not tonight. It's too late (rather too early). Maybe the first chance I get when I'm alone and can think clearly. Lately I haven't been thinking clearly at all. Too much stress, etc. Maybe Monday.....

Happy (late) New Year!

So much to say and so little time to say it.

Just dropping by to say that it will be awhile again before I have time to post anything. To make a long story short, I have this hernia thing going on in my belly and tomorrow is when I am having surgery to have it taken out. I'm anticipating on being doam for a while while I recover, so if anyone wants to give a call and see how I am doing I would love you for it. If you send me a card with lots of money in it I will love you even more! It's just a thought. (smirk)

With that being said, I hope everyone is having a very happy new year and I will be try and be back soon!
