as the months past into years
i wonder to myself, how did i start
to blog, what brought me to this
cyberworld of blogging?
i remember it started with rosie
just lurking at her blog, and then
one day i posted a comment
(when comments were allowed)
and from that day forward i would
visit each day and comment away
next came the torino blog with
ross, again i lurked, and again
posted a comment, it just seemed to fit me
so i stuck around and commented as
i pleased, it was a pleasure to comment
to all the wonders of the ross blog
and here i am today, at night owls
a very warm, humbling abode
that brings me sunshine daily!
i often think was i missing something in
my life to reach out to this cyberworld?
as all knows i have enough family to fill
a music hall, and yet this blogging thing
came natural, corresponding with one
thru the internet, it filled me up!
it is known that i am single, no children
i have always longed for children
it was just not meant to be, so i think
i feel a void, a empty space within
did i turn to blogging to fill this void?
i absolutely think so, i needed to reach
out to the unknown to see where it would
take me, and wonders never cease, i have
found blogging to be my friend and thru
blogging have found a whole new world
of wonders, a pyramid of laughter, a large
steeple of friends
blogging can be quite shaky, the same
with life, but as i move forward in life
i shall do the same with blogging!
its all about baby steps
small but brave baby steps!

ohno
who won?
200
Why MEK- do I seem to be drinking?
damn...I actually tried that time--IBB I think you got it!
WOOOO HOOOOOO!!!!!
HAPPY DANCE HAPPY DANCE!!!!!
I got the big ole FOAD monster right in the MIDDLE OF MARCH -
I might have to check with the admin of this blog - may be a conspiracy!! ;-)
Now - I need to go see who won - will it be IBB, Goldie, Zona (dusting) or Joey even...
Way to stuff her in the closet ibb!
Iteach - After years of being surrounded by a family I found it hard to be alone. Now I am quite enjoying the freedom and the quiet. It takes time though.
Oh well..I couldn't have danced anyway with a sore cheek..Congrat IBB!
TINKA: I opened a new window..and now there will be more dust..shoot..
LOL@IBB!
OMG WE HAVE CAKE!!!:)YAHEEE!
DAMN that oven is fast! LOL
It baked in like 30 mins. flat!
Yes, the toothpick inserted into the center a couple times came out clean;)Did y'all think I was a rookie!?hehe
Ok..going to get link..then pics of the cake..then cooling it..then trying to invert it! HAHA
BRB...
Congrats to IBB - good job...
I see a post from Tink - need to go read.. be right back..
Did anyone watch Deal or No Deal tonight on the East Coast - there are supposed to be 11 million dollar cases...
If I am doing the happy dance... I know I won!!!
And thanks Goldie... I did take her down!!!!
Damn,(as opposed to me sounding like a hillbilly when I say dang mek..haha)
I always miss the march over here!:(
One day....
http://www.brightcove.tv/title.jsp?title=823359685
Enjoy!
I am going to see if it will work to rename links like the old rossblog did!
FOROWLETTES
Tink - the nerve for that guy to ask for the ANSWERS too... I think the reason why these ladies upset me so much - I had taken several classes at another store and SHARED the instructions with them - and when one of them took a class that we BOTH paid for - she made copies of all the templates before we used them. and I asked her for copies of them and she refused!! and now, that same person is asking me for free stuff again.. it's just frustrating...
OMG I'm thrilled! LOL
I can rename links and it will keep this place looking a little more tidy;)hehe
I LOVE THAT!:)
Back with pic links in few...Don't have TOO much fun w/o me;)
ThanksMEK--- I just had a little fun at your expense...I can't believe you said "cans"...
I have to laugh!!
Joey- dont' forget the cake is in the oven. Thanks for the link.
MEK- I am watching it right now.And all i will tell you is not only would I kiss the frog for that offer, I would give it tongue...
Joey - you can say dang - I'm just having some fun!! you see, I mock my sister ALL the time when I am in Virginia visiting and the funny thing - I am the only one that "sounds funny" to THEM!!!
Oh and Joey - we diverted you from the march with the cake in the oven...
Goldie..LOL...Give it tongue!!!
Goldie - it comes on here in 10 minutes - i will have to watch - we usually mute all the talk while they are picking cases..
AND - my case is always 22 - so now you can see how much money I might never win!! LOL..
You are a wild woman!!!
ANd MEK-- An east coast BBQ sounds like a better thing...for me ...
Here goes: Well, it looks kinda sad! LOL..Maybe the other side will look prettier..It was so boring and plain, I slapped some marischino(sp?HAHA) cherries in the middle for color;)b4 taking the pic! HAHA
enjoy pic one!:)
CAKE FOR OWLETTES WOOHOO
This cake is not my finest baking:)but I bet it tastes yummy!
OMG an East Coast BBBQ sounds great;)
barb_in_was
I miss your "uniboob"
tinka
You story touched my heart! We certainly cannot replace your sister, however I am glad we are here when you need to reach out to her, as she can't answer, but we sure can.
She is watching over you tho!
mo
You will never know what you have given to me! Thanks! :O)
And its not the "tripe"
joey
What a great addition you are to Night Owls!
sandie
As least it was corn, as that can't hurt anyone!
sacbarb
Nightowls was created with your help!
just_lin
You are never tedious, and if you were who the heck cares :O)
cg
Glad you felt strong enough to stop by!
zonababy
I should have clarified to all what

♥♥♥
mek & ibb
Duking it out again, how fun!
tina
I miss Eunice, and Jodi!
goldie
I can't wait to see your new page
will the back round be Jodi's Potato Salad?
I can't remember what else I wanted to say!!!
joey
Are you calling yourself a
"owelette"?
cpgem - you did pretty good in that last post - I could not have remembered all of that..
IBB - I'm SO glad you noticed the "cans" comment!! I thought you missed it or were ignoring it..
Did everyone see Joeys cake with the cherrys on top?
Are the cherrys in honor of us?
Joey, how did you post that link?
mek
Your comment to Joey, about talking to him more here LOL...so funny!!!
cpgem - I seriously don't think that Joey thought I existed until he met Rosie!!! (sshhhh, we are talking behind his back!!!)
Awww thanks Carol for those sweet words;)you made it all possible..and SacBarb(hope i got that right..LOL)
Okay, we almost LOST the cake! LOL
I was flipping it over onto a silpat type flexible red cutting board(only to pic for you guys then that puppy is getting returned to it's pan..LOL) and I was removing the glass pan after I saw that it "plopped" out okay...and it slid but I caught it! HAHA
I have a pic that I think turned out pretty good..I did use chunk pineapple instead of the rings..haha..Same taste..different presentation!
CLOSEUP OF PUD CAKE
I am semi-pleased;)lol
You know what they say Joey, looks aren't everything! LOL- I am sure it tastes great
Little drama in the neighborhood. I am sitting here at the breakfast bar and out of the corner of my eye I see nothing but red lights! Holy shit I thought they were pulling into my driveway. We live on the corner of a cul de sac, and they turned and went up the street. It kind of curves at the to and I can't see which house it is. I am so worried now as to which neighbor it is! Firetruck and ambulance and squad.
Do I smell cake Joey ...sniff, sniff
I cracked up laughing, I was pretty loud, I think he heard me. You should have put the shhhh first!
Joey is afraid to "invert" his cake!! :-)
dreama
click on Joeys links!!
too bad we did not have
"netsmell"
Carol- I never thought of that- now I have to go back and change it. Right now it is just a black lab.
Joey, you are right, the second pic is way better! Now it looks good enough to eat :)
Yes! The cherries are in honor of you guys;)
If you mean how did I rename the link?!
We can have HTML renaming links class one day here;)haha
When I'm not so tired..I remember how thrilled I was when I learned how to do it!!:)
And glad that blogger.com lets us rename links!!
LOL@Mek..I did know you existed....I can't even remember how long you've been around though:( LOL..sorry!
I did always like your posts though!
MEK: "Lots of hungry hooters in here"
Well, dang! Where did I misplace my breast pump?
Goldie - I hope everything is okay on your street - when ever the cops show up on our street - everyone knows that it's the house two down!! Teenage kids with a mother that just does NOT care!!
mek
he is just trying to get on your good side!
joey
I would love to learn, whenever you have more time that would be great!
whabby
I got It, I was keeping it safe for you!
LOL@Whabbear! Finally some male testosterone around here;)hehe
you know I'm kidding..I probably have more estrogen than most of you! ROFLMAO
Whabby, Did you like your tennis pic?haha..rather scary huh?
also peep the link for my cake(2ndlink is best..thanks goldie) and for the gay insurance/ant thingy!
whabby is making his fly by!!!
how was the lonestar?!!
Hey Hooters!!!
How is everyone? I'm a bit behind on the posts, sorry about that.
I see Joey has joined us!! Yeah!!
Hi Joey, nice to see you!
Been trying to get some things done around the house and trying to stay warm.
Yesterday my daughters car wouldn't start. They had to go to Notre Dame, my g-daughter, Jaz, was singing the National Anthem there for the girls basketball game against Pittsburgh! She did great!! Sooooo Proud of her!
But, now I'm without a car. Couldn't get hers started, so she has mine. It's so cold here, I think her's is just FROZEN!!
So today, since I was Forced to stay home, I made a big dinner.
Homemade mac/cheese (Patty LaBelles' recipe) but I used a bit more healthy ingrediants. Butternut squash, chicken, green beans, rolls!! It was Damn Good!!
I had daughter & g-daughter come to eat with us.
Tomorrow I have to babysit a friends foster child for a while, in the morning.
Other than that, it's pretty boring around here. Even the dogs are bored!! I'm jealous of all you Owl's that have the warm weather!
You all are writting some good blogs.xoxoxo
Tinkatia, I got caught once with my camera inside of a casino and security wanted to confiscate it. He allowed me to go take it to my car. As security walked me and my sister out I asked him why it wasn't allowed in. He told me that politicians and important business people don't want their gambling habits to be known. When I went to get the film developed they wouldn't even print out that picture. :(
Not this street MEK- have never seen the cops here. But here they always send out the big old fire truck too when and ambulance is called. so it is a frigging parade. But it is mostly people our age and younger on this block- so worried about them.... Its too damn cold to go outside and stand and kibbitz with the other neighbors either.
birdee
And you flew right in!
Joey!!!!
I Want Cake!!! That looks sooooo
good!
thank goodness for digital cameras!!!
Mrs. Kravitz!!! I presume!!
Hey Carol!!!
I see you! Are you feeling a little better?
Birdie did you say butternut squash?! Yum.
we have lots of cake AND cupcakes - NOW - I am REALLY hungry for CAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just can't make that coffee icing like my mom and sister can...
Hey Birdee -
Dreama, Hi, yeah, I did say butternut squash. I usually make the acorn. Decided to change it up a bit. Was really good.
see, whabby, swooped in and out!!
Hey birdee and whab!
Funny link Joey
MEK- as my husband would say to me '"mind your own business Gladys"
Hi Mek, Thanks for posting about your trip. It was fun to read.
Would have liked to been a fly on the wall in your hotel room!! Ha!
yea!!!
Birdee is back!!!
Goldie you could tell them you waiting for the parade to go back by...
Seriously... hope everything is O.K...
hi dreama and tink and zona!
Thanks birdee!:)
I had to go look up your yiddish word "kibbitz" goldie! HAHA
had never heard that one before
***passes around ice cold milk to go with the cake***
♥♥♥♥
Hi Goldie! Nice to see ya
IBB- it is -1 with a -10 windchill. A tad bit chilly for the parade. But thanks I know what you mean. Lots of kids on this block and I hate to think it was one of them!
IBB- it is -1 with a -10 windchill. A tad bit chilly for the parade. But thanks I know what you mean. Lots of kids on this block and I hate to think it was one of them!
Dreama is back too...
I read earlier that you hate to have blood drawn because of little viens...
There is a trick... the day before you have your blood drawn.. drink plenty of fliuds... it will hydrate you and PLUMP your viens!!! trust me it works..
ibb, hi right back at ya!
joey that cake looks delish!!!!!!
It will only take me 3 hours to get there ...
Save me a piece!!
chickenowl
Yes I am better, Not Great, but better!
How exciting, your granddaughter got to sing. Fun!
When you went missing I thought the Chickenowls/Birdee hunters had gotten to you!
Dreama, i second what ibb said..
plenty of water...helps alot.
Goldie - we tease my mom about her "nosey nelly" stuff - her table is set up so she can look out her windows and see everything going on in the neighborhood -
Birdie - you are welcome - would you have liked to have listened to the room next door!!??:-)
Hi Goldie and everyone. I got stuck at the word cake and just focused my eye in on Joey. I am a sugarolic. I just made that word up.
Um Joey can I have Silk soy milk instead of reg. milk. :)
night-owl...heck no...no more cage's for me..;0)
OH - I think I missed my case being opened.... bummer...
OMG! This was a much longer post, with how I got started in Rossland, but I must have inadvertently erased the top half??? Oh well!
Carol:
What fun this whole thing has been, having all of you people (except Ibebold... LOL!) first appear in Ross's comment section or in chat out of nowhere, then becoming vaguely familiar with your handles, then progressing to where I recognized those handles, to where I started interacting with you, to where I started really liking you and looking forward to bantering with you, all the way to this owl's nest.
Is there any better description for it all than the Grateful Dead?
"What a long, strange trip its been"!! :| :) :D
mek, are you telling me you heard some good stuff? ;o)
brings soymilk for dreama:)
LOL@IBB..SURE, come on over..I'm eating a piece now..omg I know it's late.but it smelled so good..HAHA
I have to say, not bragging, it is pretty delish! LOL
YUM!:)
help me eat it y'all b4 I eat the whole thing!
Goldie - I just saw the promo for the frog - can't wait to see this. you have my attention...
YES, cake is a distractor!!! and we've been making up words ALL day long!!!
I think Joey gave up on us with his spell check!! :-)
282
Whabbear- have you been peaking at my love "handles"?
Ibebold yeah I always forget to hydrate myself. You'd think I'd remember but I don't until I see the needle.
Fine, now Joey is teasing us with his cake!!
Whabby - He really likes us!! He really likes us!!! :-) I love you too!!!
whabby
love the metaphor:
Greatful Dead....Strange Trip...
So apropos!
Oh, whenever you want the breast pump
just let me know ;O)

289
cpgem - too funny!!!
Mek - What annoyed me the most was the fact that when faced with someone's boldness I wasn't strong enough to be bold right back and simply say "No".
I hope you said "no" especially since she had not given you the materials previously.
night.owls.sb - You always say the sweetest things to me. Thank you for those kind words.
I bought a new Amanda Bynes movie and I am off to watch it. I think it is really meant for teen-agers but I guess second childhoods count too. Was it Dianne who admitted to liking Amanda Bynes? Somebody did when we were talking about favourite movies. I love her. She is so sweet. I hope she stays that way. Lindsay Lohan was so sweet in "Parent Trap" and look at her now.
Well another day has gone by in the Magic Forest. It is three more days until Valentine's Day and five more until my family is back. And time marches on.
Have fun tonight little owls. Don't let Joey get you into any mischief. Look after my little Zona. Keep safe and warm. Love you, Tinka
mek

"soy" you need the real stuff. So when you get big, we can roast you!

YES, Goldie to the naughty mat!! My nephew says you have to sit there for as many minutes as you are old!!! :-)
mek
No I can't block you!
Well maybe I can, I just don't know how to do it, and let me tell you.
You would not be blocked if I did know how!
goldie in naughty corner- flapping her wing a MEK- i was just kidding, I know you play fair (I am the one with the rope, remember!)

Just a wise old bird!!
Holy Shit MEK- I'll be here all night if I have to sit that long!
cpgem - thanks - I was feeling sorta sad!! :-(

Ok, I go away for a little while and ... let me get this straight - ITeach is riding some guy named Treadmill while her hubby is away, Joey thinks Whabby brings male testosterone to the room and somebody is pumping breasts - did I get that right?
I gotta head to bed, I am falling asleep at my keyboard...Not good...
Tomorrow's blog will be from a Night Owl. My plea worked...

I can't go now, I have to see goldie is able to hold it in...
Oh gosh this is like Sybil!

Just about to call me a lawyer friend i have up in canada to get me the hell out on bail.....
Goldie - does this lady take up the whole 1 and 1/2 hours...
No MEk- I think the next guy gets about 20 minutes.
Goldie - I told you your time was up!! you aren't paying attention again...
Thank goodness - she is really getting on my last nerve!!!
No- thats why I said Freebird!! You released me as did Carol.
god that pee felt good......
Want me to tell you what happens so you don't have to watch her???
Goldie - I thought you were singing!! LOL - oh man, maybe I should start drinking!!
Speaking of peeing- did I tell you that my granddaughter (turned 2 last week) now wears big girl panties and only a pull-up for overnight? I am so proud...
Goldie - we can't spoil here on the blog - she just finished!! OH - the next guy gets TWELVE million dollar cases - so - they really ARE going to keep going until someone wins!!!!!! wow...
These people!!!!!!!
OMG - ya'll don't know HOW badly I am craving cake!!!!!!! geez...
Goldie - that is great!!! She is putting on her big girl panties!!

alrighty , now I have to go to bed too. Nighty night- MEK you march right ahead without me this time, I am still thrilled I got 300!
