A Fresh New Look For A Fresh New Year!

So can you tell that I been busy?

I figured it's a new year and that means it's time for a new fresh look. Like it? They don't really have many templates to choose from and I don't know how to do all that fancy stuff like others do to their blogs so until I figure it out this is going to have to do. So just updating everything here took me about 3 hours or so. Doesn't look like that much work but it was! So sit back, get a hot cup of cocoa or a cold glass of wine or whatever beverage of your choice and have a look around and tell me what you think. Honestly I'm thinking that nobody is even going to acknowledge this thing but that's OK. I'm here writing for myself and finding out that it really feels pretty good just having a place I can go to to release my thoughts and whatever else I am feeling at the time. Kind of like a diary but not a diary. When I was a little girl I used to keep diaries only because I would get a shit load of them from my friend Gerg's aunt-I forget her name. She was the one up in Wausau. I would write everything in that bad boy and when I say everything, I mean EVERYTHING! Who I liked, who I wanted to kiss, who I wanted to...........well..........you get the idea. As I got older diaries started scaring me. I mean seriously, do people really write every private thought and feeling into a little 3x3 book that has a "padlock" on it? What they did and who they did it with written in very minute details? I'd be afraid someone would eventually find it and read it and you know they will! You can easily just walk out your front door and be accidentally shot by a drive-bye shooter and have no warning that your life was at an end and here you are leaving all this evidence of all the shit you did in your life time for someone to find. Me? I don't want anything left behind when I die. I even toss out stained underwear in case I die tomorrow and I don't want Scott to see. How humiliating that would be! Yes, even though I am dead I still feel I would be humiliated! Anyway, I am 45 years old now and seriously, even if I did keep a diary can you imagine how boring it would be? Probably as boring as this blog is. But I bet I would still have more blog readers then diary readers and that to me is sad. I think I need to liven up my life a bit more or just start getting back into trouble just so I would have something interesting to write about. I hate for people to think I live such a boring life.

I am tired and so I am outta here! G'night!

Baby It's Cold Outside!

It has been so cold outside here lately I just can't seem to get warm at all! Scott made this fire for us and I literally pushed the couch up right next to the fireplace with a hot cup of cocoa and a warm snuggly blanket and Honey, Willie and Banx by my feet.

Ahhhh.......the life!

Getting Back To Writing

So it's been awhile since I have written anything on here. I remember last years new years resolution was to write more, meaning not only write to my family and friends more but to write in my blog more. Well, if you look at the dates on when I have written on my blog, you can see that I haven't wrote in it like I said I would. Well now it's a new year and I'm going to make an attempt to try it again. Let's see how long this is going to last! lol

Not much to say right now. It's after 1:oo am and I took a sleeping pill about 10 minutes ago and I can already feel it starting to kick in so I must make this short and sweet.
Scott, Willie and I went by our daughters house this evening for a visit. It was very nice. Scott hung up a new mirror that she bought earlier in the week and hooked up our old DVD player that we gave her. Our son Ryan gave us a blu-ray for Christmas (yes!!) and so we gave her ours since she didn't have a DVD player. For that, she made us a delicious dinner consisting on lasagna, garlic bread and Italian bread with oil and spices. Mmmm! It's so nice having our daughter have her own place now AND having her cook for us.....what a treat! We watched a couple episodes of "Ghost Hunters" and we were doing ok up until the part where the lady showed her couple dolls that seemed to have "issues". The 2 dolls' eyes dilate on their own and their expressions on their faces change. They sat them down and held the cameras on them but they just wouldn't participate tonight. That's totally cool with me! Dolls have always been kind of freaky for me. I never did trust them.

That's all for tonight. My pillow is calling my name......................

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...
