A Spring in my step!

Vig's walk in her neighborhood found these
lovely flowers blooming, as spring arrives
. I borrowed her picture,
with of course her approval



Spring is here, and I could not be more excited, starting my day is a absolute breeze, its definitely so much easier than starting my day in the winter.

The winter is for "nesting" kinda like being dormant, as for spring, well my steps are "springer" and my thoughts are much lighter, much like the color yellow.

When I am out and about I appreciate everything so much more, I seem to stare at trees, flowers, and anything else that happens to be developing because of the season of spring. I never used to appreciate the special season as a youngster, but with age you definitely learn to look around and enjoy!

I see a change in my Dad as well, he is outside more, his mood is cheery, his face tan from sitting on his beloved deck. The smell of cigar lingers on the deck and then you know that he is near by. I have come to cherish that smell as odd as that may seem. Its just my dad enjoying his life.

Maybe the seasons are suppose to bring a change in our personalities, I guess it can be looked at that way. Each year I seem to change along with the seasons. Change is good, just as the season change is.

Life is what you embrace it to be, so I truly embrace, with no doubt, a spring in my step.

wow, didn't expect that! Hello everyone, ltns!

Bebbilane said...

Anyone coming to Derby?

Bebbilane said...

Just got around to reading some blogs yesterday.. Mary, Loved the italian stallion..omg! What a hunk!

Tina: Enjoyed the "I am Invisible" blog too. I do feel like that sometimes, I feel that people on here have made special connections and a lot of times, I feel on the fringe of it all. I don't take it personally though, I just whine about it. :)

Bebbilane said...

I have been so busy. I exercised 4 hours yesterday. Been doing a challenge on my walking and just have been way too busy. I guess that is a good thing.

Lynn D said...

Morning Glories!

Congrats on first Bebbi! Waving a wing at you! I see you.

Vig It seems with every passing year I am learning to appreciate the small things in life more. I think this is a great thing and advantage to growing older.

You are right that spring brings an awakening not just in nature but to me also. I love the air after a spring rain and the sight of new green on the trees (grass is not something I get to thrilled about as that means mowing) the plants starting to wake up. Even the animals seem to know that the season is changing and they get more playful and happy.

Going out to appreciate the sun coming up and watch the birds get all twittery!

Will be back in a bit.

Goldie so happy Haley is doing much better!

Birdee said...

Good Morning Everyone!!!!

Congrats on first Bebbi!

Mary, Thanks for the "Eye Candy" picture yesterday!

Zona, Has Julie gone away yet???

Goldie, So glad Haley is doing better. What a little trooper she is.

Carol, This past winter def affected my mood. It seemed alot longer and was just way too cold. Even now, it's been rainy and overcast and I'm missing the sun. My energy level is low.


Been busy with the dog's. Ruby is back on meds. Her UA is not quite cleared up, so 2 more weeks of meds.
Boz has been getting sick after his morning meds, so the vet told me to space the pills out. He takes 3 every 12 hrs. Hopefully this will help.

Tink, I hope you are feeling better.

Lynn D said...

Waving at Birdee!

I hope the dogs do better this week Birdee!

I have ask, Why are you wearing a spider costume? :)

Birdee said...

Hey Lynn!!!!

Carol is my fashion designer!!!
She has wierd taste! ;o)

Tinkatia said...

Good Morning Bebbi, Congrats on first, Lynn and Birdee. Just up for a minute. Thought I would say Hi. I hope to be back later to read the blog.

Lynn D said...

Birdee LMAO

Waving at Tinka!

Tinkatia said...

I did read the blog and it made me feel better. I want to get out and walk my doggies in the beautiful sunshine. I am sure I will by tomorrow. I think antiibiotics were created to make one feel worse before one feels better. Have a great day everyone. Love, Tinka

VIG - Is the sun coming out today?

Goldie - Prayers for Haley.

Birdee - Thanks for the well wishes.

ibebold said...

FORE-teen...for MEK!!!

ibebold said...

Carol... I understand completely the smell of the cigar...
my dad has been gone for many years... but everytime I smell Pipe tobacco I think of him!!!

spring is in the air here... we are getting more rain here... I am not complaining... it makes everything so green and the flowers bloom...

Off to get my hairs cut and do usual thursday errands...

night.owls.sb said...

Bebbi!

Hi! Congrats on 1, missed ya..

Nah, no derby for me, not a fan of horse racing.. I would rather come to your state and go to Zappos..

:O)

goldie said...

Good Morning Hooters!
congrats Bebbi on 1 thru 5

Lovely blog Vig. I took take it all in and love the way everything comes to life in the spring. Everything but the f***ing rabbits that eat my pretty flowers. I swear I heard one laughing at me yesterday as he licked his lips after finishing off some tulips!

Birdee--- finally not looking at you nekkid! You wear your fuzz well.

Thanks for Haley wishes, I am passing them on.

Hope everyone has a great day!

night.owls.sb said...

Birdee...

I think you look so pretty.. You asked to get prettied up, and so I did as you asked.. You are all blow dried and trimmed.. and darlin, you look gorgeous!!!!!

The best part, you don't smell like poop, you smell like Elizabeth Arden..

Perfect!

night.owls.sb said...

IBB...

It happens to me all the time, I will be out and about and smell cigar and think of my dad immed.
I guess it will always be that way.

BTW.. I like the smell of pipe too.

:O)

night.owls.sb said...

Sorry.. for the confusion..

I wrote the blog, and used Vig's picture.. I like using owls pictures as it makes the blogs more personal

Birdee said...

Carol, Thanks for getting me all purdy and good to know....I can now pass the Smell Test!!!!

Birdee said...

Sandie, Happy Belated Birthday to Aubree!

Caryn, Congrats to the Mr. on his job!

goldie said...

Great blog Carol- great Pic Vig

Tinkatia said...

Passing by to say Hi to all owls.

Vig said...

Yup, this great blog was written by our own cawfee lady, Carol! I just took the pic...and feel so honored Carol used it here! Thanks, kiddo!

Hiya Owls. Driving up island today to see students, gotta run! Sending hugs and healing thoughts and smiles to everyone who needs one. Hope today is a really good day!

Zona said...

Good Morning!

CPGEM: I love reading about spring..we seem to jump right into summer here. In fact I think we just have 2 seasons, summer and fall! Reading your happy blog..and seeing the pretty pic that VIG took, I can close my eyes and hear the birds singing, feel the cool rain and smell the flowers. Yep..I can just about imagine spring!!

Great blog today CPGEM, thank you!!

Zona said...

EUNICE!!!! Where are you?? The morning isn't the same without your prettiness here!! :D

BEBBI: Congrats on FIRST!! I won't watch the Derby anymore, not since Barbaro...I'm too afraid it will happen again. It was just too sad.

Zona said...

LYNND: You are so right about the animals becoming more playful and happy..Nikki is running around like a nut..oh wait..she did that before.. ;)

Speaking of Nikki..she has a vet appointment on Friday for grooming and her shots. She's gained 10 pounds..so I'm trying to teach her to hold in her stomach and clench her buns so the vet won't notice and yell at me. I'll let you know if she learns to do it. ;)

MEK in AZ said...

NOON!!!!

Zona said...

BIRDEEEE!! You sure did get poofy!! I love it! Now you really do look like a chickenowl! :D

Sorry to hear that Ruby has to do another course of antibiotics..and that Boz is having trouble with his meds. Tummy scratches to both of them..ruffle their ears for me too, kay? :)

TINKA: I hope that you will feel better very soon and that you'll be able to enjoy all that spring has to offer! Love you. :)

IBB: I can't wait to see the pics of the flowers. The ones last year were so pretty.

GOLDIE: Awww..bunnies are cute..I'm sorry they are lovin' your tulips though.

VIG: Drive carefully.. and I hope you filled 'er up! :)

Zona said...

MEK: Goof..it's only nine..lol..

Zona said...

Fluffy BIRDEE: Yep..Julie still won't leave me alone..that song is driving me bonkers. ;)

Zona said...

AAAARRRGG!! I took something out to use on a card..and now I can't find it! I've torn everything apart three times! It has disappeared. I didn't worry at first cuz I have two of them, but they are both gone! grrrr...

ok..end of rant..back to looking..someone please come help me!!

sacBarb said...

OK, I was here and wrote a long-ass post and the hunky electrician arrived before I was finished. Then he went outside and turned the electricity off before I could push publish. arrrghhh So he is gone now and I'll try to remember what I wrote.

Carol, I love Spring, too. We have had lovely weather all week, but rain is expected tomorrow. Thanks for sharing the beautiful pic from VIG.

sacBarb said...

Bebbi, Congrats on first and WB. Al Roker said there is a 40% chance of rain for the Derby. Sorry, but I won't be watching either.

LynnD, I do love Spring, but everything blooming starts my allergies to blooming, too, especially grass.

Birdee_sure_is_Fuzzy, You look good all fluffed and I'm glad to hear you smell good too. I hope your fur kids get well soon.

Tinka, You are up early today.

IBB, waiting to see the fruits of your next photo safari.

Goldie, That's such good news about Haley. Still sending up prayers.

VIG, You take beautiful pics, too.

Zona, Good luck with Nikki holding it all in. LOL BTW, maybe she has your card thingy?

MEK, I hope you're getting some rest.

Well, looks like I am going to have to pay my electrician BIG BUCKS because the whole fuse box should be replaced. I can do a half-ass fix for about half of what the new fuse box will cost or do it all. I need to think about it. I am leaning toward just biting the bullet and hopefully I won't have to worry about it again.

Have a good day Owls. BBL

Just_Lin said...

Bebbi Looks like you are the thoroughbred that came in first today. Congrats!

LynnD I love watching the twittery birds. I also have a woodpecker coming around and he's fun to watch, too.

Birdee You look great! Are you twittering?

Tinka I'm sorry that the antibiotics are making you feel yucky. That's not fun at all.

IBB You take great photos!

Carol I wish I enjoyed shopping for shoes the way you do. I am very hard to fit so I just find it to be a pain in the butt. The result is that I always seem to need new shoes.

Goldie Yes, rabbits are known for their f***ing. ;)

VIG Great photo! Hope you enjoy your day.

Zona Have you found the missing link?

MEK LOL @ NOON!

SacBarb IMHO you should probably bite the bullet, then you won't have to ever deal with it again.

ibebold said...

SacBarb..I agree with JustLin... I would Bite the Bullet...
Electricity scares me... it can cause fires... and we would feel a lot better knowing you have a brand new box...

Never go half assed when it comes to electricity..


I see Carol.. Goldie...VIG...Zona...MEK... SacBarb and Just Lin landed since I have off with errands...
got everything done today...

waving a wing at everyone else who lands today!!!!
going to get something done around here before work!!!

ibebold said...

MEK...it was NOON here!!!!!

MEK in AZ said...

Happy Thursday!!

Good Morning/Afternoon!!

cpgem - Yes, it's spring - the cactus are blooming and our temps are reaching near 100!!!
:-)

bebbi -congrats on FIRST...

Lynn - wow, your birds are on twitter!!

Birdee - sorry to hear that your "puppies" are still not doing well - my heart goes out to you..

Tinka - good morning and congrats on TEN and 25

IBB - thanks for FORETEEN and yes, dad always picked the BEST pipe tobacco......

Goldie - sorry - but you made me chuckle at the damn rabbits!!

VIG - drive safe - and thanks for letting cpgem use your picture..

Zona - LOL - it was Noon back east!!! hope you found what you have misplaced. - I hate when that happens.......

SacBarb - maybe a nice nap will help!!

Just Lin - good morning...

MO - I think you asked me this days ago (and I forgot) - I have become immune to the vicks - so I have to find something else - hope you are feeling better...

I hope everyone has an excellent day!!
:-)

MEK in AZ said...

IBB - Yes, that's why I did NOON!!!
:-)

I'm glad you got your errands ran/run!!!

ibebold said...

Goldie... So glad Haley is much better...
children are amazing in their healing process ...

sacBarb said...

J/L & IBB, Thanks for your input. I have discussed it again with the electrician and have decided to bite the bullet. Besides, it will need to be done eventually and will probably be even more expensive if I wait.

And as IBB said, never go half way when it comes to electricity. Plus, who wouldn't want a hunky electrician to give her a new box?

So, I'm looking at $2000.00 YIKES!

Zona said...

UPDATE:

ARRRRRGGGGGHHHH!!

I might as well organize my drawers while I'm looking..sigh..

J/L: Still missing..

MEK: Jus' messin' with ya! :D

SACBARB: OUCH! OOOCH! YIKES! I think I would have to do the quick fix..but it's probably safer to do the whole thing.

Back to searching...

Just_Lin said...

No Spoiler, but based on the bottom three last night on AI, I think I better start voting.

Just_Lin said...

Zona Maybe Mr. Z should search your drawers for you. ;)

MEK in AZ said...

Just Lin - I agree about "starting to vote" - I have not exercised my right yet this season -

Zona - I KNEW you were just messing with me!! You made me smile!!!
:-)

I'll be back later...

kahonugrl said...

Cawfee lady:

Thanks for taking me back to think about my gramps today~ The smell of his pipe was the sweetest smelling thing EVER!!!!

SacBarb: IBB is right never puck with electricity....but I am sorry that is will be so expensive. But hey it's better than waking up to a fire alarm.

Gotta get some work done bbl

Lani said...

GOOD MORNING NESTERS
Spring is definitely here. Last week I noticed the air was filled with the sweet fragrance of flowers. I have had the same view out of my windows for the last 30 years; however, the hills and trees are just as beautiful to me today. We are expecting much needed rain this weekend.

scirish said...

SacBarb...Good choice!!!My Mom had the quick fix done and it didn't last long....She ended up with wobbly power in 4 rooms and had to change over anyway.

Goldie...That's great news about Haley!!!

Tink..Glad you're feeling a bit better.

Waving to everyone from the couch...I seem to be dizzy and the computer isn't helping, so I'll just wish everyone a happy day and go close my eyes.

Zona said...

55 my lucky number!! I hope.. ;)

Zona said...

HI SCIRISH!! (This is for when you open your eyes) I hope you feel better! :)

HI KGRL..don't work too hard..

MEK: If I tell you whay I'm looking for, could you check your loft for it and have MR M bring it to me...please?? ;)

Lani said...

Hi BEBBI - After last year I can't watch the Derby again.
You could never be invisible!

LYNN - My mood definitely changes with the seasons.

BIRDEE - I do hope BOZ & RUBY are back to normal soon. I seems that most of the time it takes more than one round of meds to clear up UTI.

TINK - I hope you are almost through with the antibiotics and feel better soon.

IBB - I am looking forward to your photo safari.

CAROL - I think BIRDEE might be in competition with EUNICE on the prettiness scale.

GOLDIE - Just about the time I think the rose bushes look pretty good is when the deer decide to come to the snack bar at my house.

VIG - What would we do without all of your wonderful HUGS.

ZONA - If the Vet accuses you of over feeding NIKKI just deny it and tell him you don't know how it happened....they love that answer :)

I see MEK got a nooner!

Oh BARB - It is one HUNK after the other, whether out at sea or in the confines of your own home.

SLIN - It is hard to shop for shoes when one wears a size 13 shoe.

K-GIRL - Does it smell like spring all year around in Hawaii?

Lani said...

Yesterday Georgina was crying and then Shadow started crying and Murphy went over to Shadow and touched noses in sympathy with Shadow. It was a touching moment.

Georgina laughed for the first time yesterday. It was a very quiet laugh as she is still so young, but it was thrilling.

kahonugrl said...

Lani:
Pretty much.... I do admit that I miss the change of seasons. There are only two seasons here, rainy and not so rainy..lol.

goldie said...

ZONA- Please tell me if it works for Nikki, because Pepper has a vet appointment in 2 weeks. I am trying to walk her ass (and mine) off everyday but she still looks like a wide-load. Its not her fault she is short and stumpy...

SacBarb- remember the office building that burnt down next to mine? Electrical. GET THE BOX FIXED!!!!!

Speaking off, they have started to rebuild. Workers are not hunky like firemen...just saying ;(

MEK- its ok that you chuckle about my fat cat rabbits. They are getting the last laugh anyway. (sigh)

I have locked myself out of our business account on the WI gov website and quartley taxes due today. OOPs-

Zona said...

LANI: LOL! That's just what I'm going to tell him! I won't mention the cheese..or the watermelon..or the cantelope..and definately not the pizza crust.. ;)

goldie said...

speaking of not off..
Usually I don't even bother to correct my flying fingers on the keyboard- so this once is it for the next month or so

goldie said...

Well hot damn, way to go K-girl

kahonugrl said...

lmao Goldie...

Anynew updates on Haley girl?

Zona said...

LOL..I moved over and made room for the 69 master! Congrats KGRL! :D

goldie said...

Zona- at least Nikki eats fruit. Pepper wont even sniff fruit or veggies. But wave a pizza crust in front of her and she will purr like a kitten!

goldie said...

Kgirl- she is doing today! Up and charging around this morning. Now that the tube is correctly in it is not causing as many problems, or pain. I am keeping my fingers crossed it all goes well and she will be out in no time.

goldie said...

Well at least I got 75 if not 69

goldie said...

**sigh** doing good today.

Thank god I use spell and grammer check when I write letters for the business!!

Zona said...

GOLDIE: Nik has a grooming appt first on Friday, then her check-up..I'm hoping that losing some hair will improve her numbers! She will eat anything..all you have to do is accidentally drop something and say "Ooops" or "Uh-oh" and she comes running.

Zona said...

GOLDIE: That's provided the something you drop is food..sheesh..do they make 'comment makes sense check' cuz I think I need that.. ;)

Sandie said...

Congrats on first, Bebbi! Nice to see you!

Carol, I love spring, too! You're right, it is easier to get up and get going. I love sitting out on my back porch surrounded by pretty flowers.

VIG, loved your picture!

Just_Lin, from Area 51, thanks and I'll tell Aubree!

Birdee, you look so cute all fluffed up! Thanks for the HB for Aubree! I hope the doggies are better soon.

Zona, LOL @ teaching Nikki to hold in her abs and butt! Hope that works for you! Gosh, we get in trouble for own own chunk and our pet's!

Lani said...

K-GRL - I love the rain, but maybe I would tire of so much. We don't really have seasons here either. I have heard many times that Hawaii has wonderful healing energy.

SCIRISH - Dizziness is yucky....I hope it leaves soon.

GOLDIE - Maybe BARB would send you some of her HUNKS.

kahonugrl said...

Lani:

The rain is not constant, but daily, be it in the morning or evening in the winter months. This place is healing for both the body and the soul. Once you step outside of Waikiki the ocean, mountians, cliffs, forests all are gorgeous. I often find myself in awe at what I see, and that I do in fact live here.

Birdee: I hope the pups feel better soon, give them a pet from Auntie Turtle~

sacBarb said...

K-grl, My thoughts exactly, that's why I decided to go for it. BTW, WTG on the march to 69.

Scirish, With my luck, the quick fix wouldn't last long either.

Goldie, oooh, I didn't know that was the cause and no matter how much I love the firemen with their long hoses... ijs. Sorry the construction guys aren't hunky.

Sandie, So how's the new teen's Mom????

Sharon the Chaperone will be here soon and we are going shopping and to Black Angus for dinner (she has a coupon). YUMMM BBL

It's time I get something done. I have spent the whole day doing nothing. Then again it's almost bed time so maybe things can wait for tomorrow. Hope everyone is having a great day. I will catch up on comments tomorrow.

Tinkatia said...

Just-Lin - Nice march to 100. I don't think I had it in me today. Glad you got it before I tried.

Just_Lin said...

Tinka Thank you! That was a good march to 25 earlier.

MEK Good job getting 50, too.

Just_Lin said...

Kgrl I see you got 69! Good job! You seem to get a lot of those. Maybe there is something in the air in Hawaii. ;)

Maureen said...

Good evening feathered friends!

BEBBI..that's the way to make a comeback! Gratz on 1st!

BIRDEEEEE...one word... CONDITIONER! You would make some lovely boas! ijs!!

GOLDIE...Glad Haley is making such great strides. Kids are so resiliant.

JUST LIN...you just have super powers!

CAROL...I used to think I loved Autumn the best. But I am loving Spring! The rebirth, the renewal, cleaning out the cobwebs and seeing the sun (at least sometimes!). I def think I suffered from SADD.

I love the smell of cherry pipe tobacco! Doesn't trigger any memories, just smells good! The scent that triggers something for me is Brut!!

TINKA...hope you get to feeling better soon.

VIG...beautiful picture! Someday I would love to get to Vancouver, to the gardens I have heard so much about! And I hear you guys have awesome chinese food up there!

Mary/MI said...

Congrats on fist Bebbi!
I haven't caught up on the comments yet.
Carol I had a bit of "spring fever" a few days ago when our temps went up. I have the spring blahs now! It has been raining pretty hard the last few days. Our lawns, rivers & creeks are over loaded. I find that my mood changes with the weather. Right now I am feeling pretty soggy lol!
Of course it had to rain today, I had my hair done.
I will bbl. Have to read comments.

Mary/MI said...

Sorry about the "fist" lol!

bonachichi said...

Hi Hooters! A very late login today. Birdee, you look like a fur explosion!

bonachichi said...

Still making my way through the comments. Isn't it amazing how we all love our daddy's pipe tobacco? Old Spice does it for me, too.

Electricity & Fires: Don't like either. I was working on a sound mixer once and the owner flipped the fuse on while I had hot wires. You just can't let go and coherent words are out of the question. Fire sucks too. I avoided Swine Flu, but came back with infected blisters from a wee little fire that got out of hand.

I was going to say something very crude about boxes, but tact actually kicked in during a rare moment of clarity.

bonachichi said...

How is it that you all have so much artistic talent? How do you know when a picture is worth taking? When scrapbooking, how do you put it together? Where do your ideas for the Eunice/Birdee/etc. Avatars come from? Is this something you learn or are born with?

goldie said...

***Haley update****

Thursday, April 30, 2009 4:27 PM, CDT

"Well my sweet angel is finally sleeping. This is the first nap of the day. She hasn't had any medicine since this morning, so that is a good thing. She doesn't want any either. She has been passing alot of gas, but the doctor still thinks it may still be 3 to 4 weeks before she gets to go home. Please keep praying that she poops so at least they can take the tube out. Then she can eat and drink. I will keep you posted!!"


Thanks for indulging me- I hope you guys don't mind my posting the updates here- but so many people have asked and this is the easiest way.

I hope all Hooters are having a good evening.g

Mary/MI said...

Goldie. Please keep the updates coming. I will pray for (ahem) poop lol!!

Bonacci, I am in aw of the talents of these gals too. I would love to know how they"fix up" their avatars. I tried it a couple times in Windows paint shop, but failed miserably!

Just_Lin said...

Goldie Praying for Poop!

Just_Lin said...

Mary I sent you a message on MS. :)

Maureen said...

GOLDIE...absolutely keep the updates coming!

BONACCI...you are certainly creative in your adventures!

bonachichi said...

Mary/MI; It's not just the avatars that impress me. It's the whole craft/art part as well. I look at things like the Mona Lisa and just don't get it.

I was never an artsy person. Very left brain, which is where logic and math happens. Then (okay, secret time) a stroke wiped out a lot of my right brain. That's why I always get lost. Maps are like art and I can't read them anymore. I always wondered if I could teach myself art skills or whether I was meant to never have them.

ibebold said...

Good evening OWLETTES!!!!

home from work... we were busy this evening...that is a good thing...

SacBarb... so glad you decided to do it all... I would worry if you hadn't...

Zona... have you found what is lost yet??

JustLin.... How exciting ..the necklace arrived!!!!

Tinka... Hope the medicine starts helping really soon...

Goldie... most def. keep the updates coming on here...
praying for poop...

Bonacci...this is a very talented group.. I am proud to be called an Owl....

Kgrl... I don't think any part of Hawaii could be tiresome.... I would love the rain...
and yes... pipe tobacco is the sweetest smell.... isn't it amazing how smell triggers memories that strong...

Lani... HEY!!!!!!!!!
great to see you posting tonight... we miss you...

waving a wing at everyone...
hope you are all having a good night...
I am going to watch Survivor.. I taped it...
and I am MAD AS HELL... they moved Harpers Island to Saturday night...why do they do that ???

ibebold said...

I missed Mary and Mo.... sorry you really aren't invisible!!!!

Waving wildly at you both!!!!

ibebold said...

Bonacci... I think that artistic talent is there from the beginning... you just have to have the right tools to harvest it...


as for photography .. people tell me I just have an eye for it... loving helps a lot...
it's what your passion is...

sounds like yours is Math and logic... and a lot of us would wish for that !!!

ibebold said...

OH HEY...
BEAR UPDATE....

just 10 minutes before I got home the bear( a really big one)(so said Mr.IBB)walked down through our yard and over across the street and then into the woods... I am glad I didn't know that before I got in the house... I would have twinked...

bonachichi said...

IBB; Math and science only give you tools to apply what's already been done. Even scientific discoveries require the creativity to wonder, "what if?". I will never make any discoveries. Only apply others' work. I figure if that's all I can do and do it well, I'm okay.

I welcome teasing and get it often. Think about it. Dump the girl who never knows where she is on a piece of dirt and tell her to find a bus. It doesn't take a genius to know something interesting will come from that.

BTW, all you travel people. NEVER hire someone like me to work for you. We will screw everything up.

Maureen said...

JBJ ALERT...JBJ ALERT...JBJ ALERT

Jon Bon Jovi will be on Jimmy Fallon tonight! Maybe dvr'ing or tivo'ing will be better...can then fast forward past the pathetic monologue he usually does!!


IBB...Waving back attcha! I am freaked out by the bear strolling thru your yard. Are you afraid to sit on your porch or deck at night in the summer?? I would be!

sacBarb said...

IBB, Thanks so much for your concern. Hunky electrician will be back next Thursday to change out the fuse box.

Mo, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I didn't know JBJ was going to be on Jimmy Fallon. Just set my TiVo.

Sharon and I went to Black Angus for dinner and stuffed ourselves and still each have leftovers. They are running a special for two which includes bread & butter, an appetizer to share, and entree and two sides each and a huge dessert to share for $37.00. We both were full by the time the entree arrived. I took home almost a whole New York steak, the whole baked potato and the dessert. Tomorrow will be a good food day!

Grey's was sooooo good tonight.

I do love art though. I could stare for hours at a painting. I was in my glory in Paris.I am so in aw of someone who can take an empty canvas and make their thoughts come alive!
I would love to be able to do what MEK,Tina & the others do with the "cricket".

IBB,Did da bear look like it was going or coming from Lonestar lol!

Hi,

Just me and Olive tonight in the office,on the computer.

Laurie fast asleep, for the time being. She is fighting a bad cough and maybe the flu. My grandson, who I watch 2-3 days a week came down with the Type B flu. Thank Goodness not the new
NH1N1(I think that is what they are naming the "swine" flu) Hope none of you get this thing, sounds awful.

Been peeking in and reading and wanting to say hello to all.

I still can't see the videos for some stupid reason. I guess it's time for a "tune-up" on the old Dell desktop (actually only 3 yrs old, that's just a baby, right)?

Anyway, just wanted to say HI and send my love to all, especially GOLDIE. May your little HALEY get well soon. I know how hard it is with little ones in the hospital. Our sweet little ones have no understanding of the process, and they want to get up and play, (even when they are sick) I was glad to read that she did play a bit the other day. Lots of hugs and prayers and good thoughts to you and all of your family.

And to my buddy SACBARB, do the Electrical. No playing around with that stuff. My home was built in 1979, and I am thinking new wiring, because a home in our area had an electrical fire recently.
Life is priceless!!

Love to all my friends, you know who you are, which is all of you!!

Peace, Love,& Joy,
Donna Jean, Laurie Elizabeth & Olive Elizabeth

IBB - How ironic....I was going to ask you if you have had any bear sightings lately. Keep a baseball bat with you when you get out of the car.

Hi to DONNA JEAN - Wishes for Laurie Elizabeth to be well soon. HUGS to all of you.

MARY - Good luck on the race track.

It is finally raining here!

A peasant and restfull night to all.

Mary/MI, I know you've gone to bed, but just the fact that you can stare at art is something. I just take one look and walk away. I wore those secret roller skates called Heelies to a museum just so I'd have something to entertain myself.
