This is a shout out to my BFF on her 55th birthday! It sucks that we live so far away and don’t get to see each other but about once a year if we are lucky. We have been best friends since the 4th grade and have managed to maintain close and in touch all this time. Friends are hard to come by and true friends are nearly impossible to find and hold onto. I’m so lucky to have her in my life.
Leap Year Birthday Boys
Every year I start looking for Leap Year Birthday cards to send to the to guys that were born on February 29th, Leap Year. It seems to me that there is a need for Leap Year Birthday cards and that the greeting card companies would realize this and offer the good folks that only get to celebrate their true birthday date once every four years a decent Leap Year birthday card.
Daughter wants to Blog
The next blogs will be written by my daughter.
She is 12 years old and I think she will enjoy the experience and I wish her luck. I’ll be checking in on her now and then!
New Face Book
I am one of the few that doesn’t get all up in arms about the changes that Face Book has been enduring lately. None of the changes have been all that significant as far as I’m concerned. And this latest change, this “TIMELINE” is pretty cool if you ask me, it didn’t take me but a few minutes to figure it all out so these folks that are screaming bloody murder about the new “TIMELINE” are just being silly.
My daughter’s first club experience in D.C. scared me
My daughter has never been the club type, but a few of her girlfriends wanted to go to one in D.C. and had been talking her into going with them. She scared the heck out of me because I told her to call me when she arrived and when she was on her way back home, and she forgot to call me when she was leaving and she apparently fell asleep in the car and her girlfriend took her to her house to sleep, and her phone died so I, of course, freaked out. When she returned home the next morning at about 7am, and I was so happy that I could finally go to sleep after staying up all hours of the night worrying about my first born.
Backed up sink!
Craziest thing with a house’s plumbing is that every so often, without rhyme or reason, the plumbing goes haywire. That’s what happened to me, I’m trying to wash dishes when the double sink in the kitchen just started backing up. My darling hubby decided to play plumber and try “snaking” the drain. When that failed he took apart the pipes under the sink, to no good end I might add. He then goes to the basement and starts snaking different sections of drain lines when one of them decides to blow foul water and waste material all over him! You could have heard him hollering all the way down the street. Poor hubby, He cleared the blocked pipe, but all I could do was to herd him into the shower and tell him if he can’t get the smell off he’ll have to sleep in the basement! (At least I got my sink back, and hubby knows the benefits of a hot, soapy shower too!
Gene Simmons is a “Hoot”
As some one who grew up in the 60’s and lived through the music of so many talented artists of the 50’s,60’s,70’s, and then, of course, the 80’s. My family was very music oriented and I had the opportunity to be exposed to all kinds of music and still do enjoy a variety of music to this day, when so many people limit theirs into just one or two kinds.
I remember the band by the name of KISS, they really made a statement and the public went wild about it, they certainly made a name for themselves and became extremely rich and famous with their hard rock, make-up and special effects that mainly consisted of some sort of fire.
So when I stumbled onto Gene Simmons reality show, Gene Simmons Family Jewels, late one night I decided to check it out and I instantly became hooked on it. Once again I remember a lot of their music and for the most part enjoyed it, although I would not consider myself as a die hard fan, so I have not been following their lives, but for some reason their show is funny and entertaining and gives you an insight into their personal family life that just makes me feel good about them and it amuses me to watch them.
If you haven’t ever watched the show you may want to consider checking it out sometime for a laugh or two, usually at Gene Simmons expense.
Today’s Libra 10/26/11
LIBRA (That’s me)
A warm smile from a stranger will send more electricity through your body than the loudest rock concert ever could today. You are entering a phase where it’s the smaller things in life you appreciate most. So turn down the volume on your life and take a look around you. Look again — there are things you never noticed before that hold a great deal of intrigue and reward. Many treasures are there for you to find. You just have to look for them a bit more closely.
COOL!
Leftovers
Hubby sure was happy to see us come home from the church supper with a big bundle of leftovers for him to enjoy. He gets to enjoy the good food without having to deal with the in-laws! Not that he minds anyone in my family really, but he just wanted to just stay at home this day and take a day to himself and get some rest. His meds are really hard on him some days and I know he needed the rest. So at least he didn’t miss out on any of the good food.
Beautiful day outside
It is unbelievably beautiful outside today, so I’m thinking I’m going to go out and play some soccer with my teenage daughter, and maybe play some basketball with both of my kids. This should be good, I haven’t played any kind of sport what so ever in a long time, but I think I should stretch out and just love the time I can spend with my kids. Maybe I should try to talk my husband into playing with us, sounds like a plan to me.
