saturday blues

i know most of you dont associate the blues with this day of the week.But its all I can really come up with today. Its cold snowy and grey. See? I told you...?? Ive piddled around the house, no not literlly! But not done a whole lot of anything. Im tired. Poor Ike has worked hard all week with this cold too! Im making left overs so not alot of excitement in the way of food! Im just so tired! See I said it again!! At some point FMS has taken over too! The amount of sleep I get is ridiculous sometimes. And I think after all this Im just going to go add to the total! ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzz

See I knew

I ended that post way too soon! The very hunky hot surgeons office just called and I am to be at the hospital at 9am.Not too early but late enought to miss my coffee! Clear the roads as my mom will be driving me. she is 83, and not the best driver anymore. But Illbe ok! And will have to lay down the rules! She cant stay and hover over me when I get home!LOL Yeah shes the sweetest thing ever but I needs my space...know what I mean? Let me recover alone! My older sister Sue had her gall bladder out oh a yr or so ago, and the next day was haulin mulch to her flowers in the back! Now I dont want to live up to those standards but if I can make my stuff for Easter dinner, then Ill be happy. See? My needs and wants are few! Tomorrow Im going to a crop for a few hours, try and get a few projects from scrapbowl done! I really want to go for the discount so I can buy my secret bunny, of hte human variety, some cool stuff with a discount! And wil need to mail it tomorrow too!, Well we'll see. I think Im passing on my neices b-day party on Sunday too. Ive still got a mean hack and dont think the mamas of all the new babies will like me hackin anywhere near those sweet precious babes! Ill send it with Terry...or mom! Ok I think that really is all for the day! Oh my Pammy...thanks forlookin at my new and iproved blog! well updated anyway! I love you!

Feeling a bit better

thanks for askin! So good today in fact that Im makin a man pleasin meal to celebrate! I told Ike to not look at the butter. He said he wouldnt! Hes kind of an anti butter person. I am not so much! He calls me a butter hound!LOL Yeah like thats going to make me put some back. His tricks have no hold on me. Oh and as if I need another reason te celebrate all that is butter, and there fore better, Some fru-fru magazine said that Land O lakes butter is the best!! No I didnt buy that brand cause Im still a penny pincher, but I did buy two lbs of the creamy yellow goodness while I made my foray out into the wilds of the grocery store yesterday. food, esp the fruts and veggies, looked so good yesterday. I got more fruit than vegs but hey Ill balance it out with frozen corn from christmas!its still good right? I do have to say that in all that is happy and holy butter has no carbs, neither does the meat!!! Im not much of a bread eater so the insulin thing wont be hard!mmmmmmm

There is something

so healing about a shower! Yeah I drug my cruddy butt off the couch and into the shower about an hour ago! Man did that feel good. I mustve stood there for a good 5 min under the hot running water, and chanted "Oh man this feels so gooood!" Washed my equally dirty hair, forewent styling tho as Im sure the blow dryer weighs way more than I can manage today. I may have a hair appt w/my Bethie tomorrow and I also may have a dental appt. I cant do both. No energy. So hmmm whats going to make me feel better in the long run? If you guessed the hair appt youre right. I just dont have anything to give you for a prize. Ding ding ding!!! Does that work?? Im still drinking coffee but I really need to eat. Anorange is on the counter with my name on it so I think Id better scoot and put something good into my nutrition starved body! Thanks for hanging with me!

sick insomnia

It happens this time every year. I can sail through most of the winter without a sniffle, but come the first of March I come down with what I now call the March curse. Its the crummy lung crud. Cough hack wheeze. The kind where youre trying to lay there and sleep but you can still hear the finel rales and rhonchi between each breath. Thats med speak for those funnt high pitched squeaks and rubs you hear! Unless of course youre blessed with no Asthma like qualities!LOL So I decided after a good dose of the poineer womans blog that Id at least try to make the best out of not being able to sleep when everyone else, even a sick dh and hte cats are sound asleep! so heres to a night of lost sleep. Good thing I dont work for a living!

where in the heck did she come from??

I first have to say that anyone who wants a pic will be disappointed!LOL Ok that said I grew up right here in Peoria. Born here too! I didnt know it at the time but the little "pre-fab" home was new! Bought from Sears! It csot my parents a whoppng 10k. It wa ssmall 3 br small living room no real dining room and a small kitchen like8x10 that held the neccesities and a huge conference table to fit the 8 of us! Yes we had 8 people in the house. My 3 sisters and I shared a room that for as far back as I can remember had bunk beds. I do remember my crib was right under a window and I was sad to go to the big double bed w/my oldest sister, Sue.The boys room was icky, think boy deposits, ie:boogers on the cieling! they were gross! WE had no basement but it held some love. Esp after a very crabby and frightening dad and boys left!The most fun was when it was just the girls, mostly Terry, my mom and i. Wed laugh play games till 1am on Firday nights. smoke cigs till we couldnt smoke anymore! Yeah those days are gone. No one smokes anymore, thank God! we never had AC. wed sleep on a sheet laid on the cheap asphalt tiles on a hot summer night. Mom included! a Typical summer evenng included a trip to a Cemetery In north P-town that had a lake, well really its a pond but when youre 6 it was pretty big. Wed take a cool bath and put on Jammies and go out there and cool off.Not in the pond though!LOL On the way home wed stop at A&W and get a nickel root beer. The total was 1.25. Wed then go home and try to settle in. Eventually wed wander to our beds around midnight, which was to me a magical time of night. It was quiet cooler and just made you feel so secure. So you want to know about my home now?? Its about 1 block from that pre-fab house. yeah its 50ys old this year and showing some wear but I can truly saw I CAN go home again!

something romantic

well Im doing this for extra points for the love crop! I dont really have one but Ill think of something. This may be the most romantic yr I guess. Way back in Jan I got the KOTM called the Greatest Love Story ever Told...yours! Im still in the thinking phases of this so itll b e a work in progress over the next week or so. Started putting the pages together the pages yesterday. Im thinking as Im going. I wish for sure that I had more pics of us from when we were dating etc... But I dont. I do have some old ploaroids of my little wedding shower and even worseyellowed ones from my wedding. Amanda is working on converting them to b&w, and cleaning them up a bit. Ill try to get pics posted sometime soon of the ginished product. Check back here and see what I ve come up with!
