I totally need the sun, it has been rainy and cloudy here in NJ since Sunday. I can't believe how the weather has changed my mood. I feel like I am in a puddle of water trying to find the surface. I never realized before how the weather affects me, until now. I guess that is another thing that comes with age, noticing the weather. Age changes everything, I don't care what anyone tells me, I am definitely changed. I am not complaining of who I have become, just noticing the differences. If the sun does not peek out soon, I will definitely be a candidate for the loony bin, cause I am starting to stir, and that is never a good thing. Besides the sun not soaking in my skin, I got a letter in the mail from AARP, yep, I am almost there, they want me to join, and no, I am not ready, so I ripped it up in a thousand little pieces, and thru it to the wind. AARP go away, and don't come back another day, the sun however better show its face soon, or as I said I will be blogging from the loony bin. And can you imagine then, what my blogs will be about...
:O)
Update 9:46am~ The sun is out! I am smiling..

Good Morning!!
Good morning, Zona!!!
Hey Zona...I was just wondering why I am up so early and now I know...it's so I can say Hey and Happy Friday to you and to all the little Owls!
CPGEM: If you need sun..come visit me in AZ!! We have tons o' sun. You could sit by the pool, have a drink. I think you'd love it! Besides..we have ice cream!! :)
I actually love the rain. It doesn't matter what time of year..when it rains I love to go outside and get wet!
I can feel myself getting older too..things that used to bother me, don't anymore. Of course now there are a whole new crop of things that make me crazy... ;)
I hope you get your sunshine soon, CPGEM..although the thought of you loony blogging IS appealing. :D
Off to read the blog!
VIG!! Good Morning! Happy Friday to you too, from this not so little owl! So, are you coming to rescue me today? ;)
Carol...I wish you sunshine and only good letter days (ones with money in them). The rain can be a downer but with rain comes greeness and flowers! So I wish you green and (yellow) and flowers too!
Zona...icecream, did you say icecream?!!!!!
Zona....da da la...(that's my Superman pre-action sounds....) I will rescue you, Zona. Where are you? Are you maybe under the bed?
Hmm... if I am up this early I may as well go to the gym! Have a great day everyone!
Ten!
Morning Zona and Vig...
WOW you guys are up way too early...
Hi IBB...how are you feeling? Hope today is a feel good day!!!!
It has been rainy here all week also...
it has been a downer... but this my favorite saying now....
Ever since I became a homeowner with a well I don't complain about the rain!!!
Vig...thanks...
I went to the doctor yesterday and finally found out there is something really wrong with my back... I have scoliosis and arthritis in my spine...
nothing to require surgery but at least I know there is really something wrong!!!
and my blood work was good.... last timwe my sugar was a little high... so she was worried I was becoming diabetic!!!
From area 51...
Shirley sending positive thoughts out for your mom...
Renee glad your mom is doing well after her surgery!!
Just/lin... love the necklace picture...
hope everyone has a great day!!!
waving a wing at all who land today...
Zona! Good Morning..
Vig, how fun, Love that you are here in the very early am..
Ibb, well, at least you know what is wrong, perhaps there is some kind of treatment. And kudos on the blood work, thats surely good news..
J/L..
Love your pic with the necklace, thanks for sharing.. Oh, and loved the QOTD.. so funny.. Sacbarb sure does have a way with words..
I just got a e-mail from Renee Eve, it seems her mom is doing better, however it also seems she is restless. So I am sending her good wishes..
Shirley,
How is mum today?
Zona..
I can't believe how I crave the sun, I missed it so all week, it is actually out this morning, and I am feeling alot better.. AZ sounds wonderful I have always wanted to stay at the Phoenician, it is a beautiful hotel.. If the day ever comes, I will surly be knocking on your door, to meet you in person of course, but most of all for the ice cream.. :O)
LOL.. on me blogging from the loony bin..
Ok, off to start my day..
:O)
Good Morning All
Be back in 20 minutes.
Morning Glories!
Congrats on first Zona!!!
Carol I know there are people who think that gloomy weather has nothing to do with moods or depression, my answer to them is a big fat bbbbfffffft! That is a raspberry! It does!
I have live in WA state my whole life growing up we lived in the rainiest part of the state. Average rainfall days were like 300 days a year. For gosh sakes there was a rainforest! LOL
After weeks and days without sun you get a little crazy not to mention soggy! When it rains like that now I get depressed and sad. More than I ever did when I was younger. I just had my yearly physical and the Doctor has directed me to take vitamin D supplements because of our lack of sunshine here. Our bodies don't produce enough D in areas where we have long cold and rainy winters. Vitamin D helps our bones and our moods. Exposure to the sun for twenty minutes a day helps our natural D to start producing.
We all need the sun! Love the rain, but days on end is just a drowner!
Good Morning Zona-my-baby - It's so good to see you. I thought you would be too busy today getting ready for the in-laws. Keep cool.
VIG - Good Morning my dear neighbour. You were really up early. You must be like my 'fur babies', when it's daylight it's time to be up and 'at 'em'.
Good Morning Hooters!
Congrats on 1st Zonababy!!! Is the air on now??? Stay cool.... You too MEK!
IBB- glad you finally found something out, and glad that your labs were good.
Carol- I feel the same way about rain, I need my sunshine. However, I don't feel the same way about AARP. I will be eligible in Sept and I want every little damn discount being a card carrying member will get me!! LOL
Thanks for sharing hte news of Renee Eve's mom. Shirley, how is your Mum doing today?
Have a good Friday peeps! Having my Mom come today and spend the weekend. Jodi coming over for coffee in the morning (and fresh baked cinnamon rolls) because she has adopted my Mother and vice versa. Then taking Mom out for brunch on Sunday. Going to be a nice weekend.
Good Morning Ibebold - I am sorry you have scoliosis. That is difficult having both that and arthritis of the back. I have the arthritis and that is bad enough. I went through courses at the arthritis centre and they told me to rest every afternoon with ice on my back. That sure helps me. I now look forward to my 'after lunch nap'.
Good Morning Carol- I am also affected by lack of sun. By February each year I am ready to hibernate or go crazy. The sun comes out and I have energy again. I would rather have the cold weather with blue skies than weeks of drizzle. The sun is peeking through today and that makes me happy.
Zona Good morning and congrats on being first to be up and about in the nest today.
VIG You are a very close second in the nest. Did Zona wake you. Perhaps she was sleeping under your bed. ;)
IBB I'm sorry to hear about your back. Very glad, though, that your sugar levels are better now.
Carol Just a short time ago, we were blogging about spring and renewal. I think some nice weather got your hopes up that winter was finally behind us. I'm glad the sun is coming out for you again today. I love rain. It is the fog that gets me down.
Tinka Nice march! I hope your day is going well, so far.
LynnD In the far north, when they have those days on end with only night, a number of people suffer from depression and it is my understanding that there is a high suicide rate. So, yes, I believe sunshine affects our mood.
I hope everyone has a good day, today, regardless of if you have sunshine or not.
Goldie You arrived while I was typing. It sounds like you have a great weekend planned. You will have sunshine no matter what the weather is like. ;)
My comment posted twice, hence
the delete.
Good Morning Goldie - Have fun with your mom. You are lucky.
Good Morning Just-Lin - I am planning on having a good day. Tonight the grandchildren (the oldest two), their grandpa and I are going to the arena to watch "Walking with Dinosaurs". They are supposed to be life-like and a little scary. Should be fun.
Be back later. It's time for Tea.
Tinka It sounds like you have a nice evening planned. Want to march?
I shut down the blog again. Where is everyone. I guess I will march alone again. It's lonely in this nest by myself. Come out, come out where ever you are.
Ha!!! You did it Tinka! Good job!
Just-Lin - You are there. I think I got 50 even though I called it 49. Sorry I messed up.
Are you flying through Just-Lin? I am procrastinating. I have so much to do and don't feel like doing it.
Tinka I am still sitting here in my robe and drinking coffee.
Just-Lin - We were typing at the same time. I thought I was alone at 40 and when I posted it was suddenly 49. It was just like magic.
Lynn D- I just noticed I missed saying Good Morning to you. I am sorry Sweetie. I must be more careful when I scroll. I did the same thing the other day when I scrolled past VIG and didn't see her behind the trees. I will try not to let that happen again.
Tinka Nice marching this morning. There are things I should be doing but I am procrastinating, too.
Just-Lin - I am sitting in my robe at the kitchen table drinking my third cup of tea. I must have tea in the morning or I couldn't make it through the day. I can't remember the last time I had a cup of coffee. I love the smell of it but not the taste. I guess it's my English heritage.
Now I am off to get some work done. Good Morning to all owls who will fly in later. Love, Tinka
Zona - I am leaving 69 open for you.
68
69
Thanks for leaving that open, Tinka! Maybe now I can get busy around here.
Just-Lin - Congrats on 69.
Back to work. I should really say "start to work" because I have been on the phone with my daughter. She has invited us for brunch on Mother's Day. My son and family are bringing dinner here at 5:00. Should be a fun day.
Poor Carol, but I'm glad to hear that the sun is out today. Hum a George Harrison song, and you'll feel better!
I Can See Clearly Now
I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW THE RAIN IS GONE
I CAN SEE ALL OBSTACLES IN MY WAY
GONE ARE THE DARK CLOUDS THAT HAD ME DOWN
IT'S GONNA BE A BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT SUN SHINY DAY
IT'S GONNA BE A BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT SUN SHINY DAY
OH YES I CAN MAKE IT NOW THE PAIN IS GONE
ALL OF THE BAD FEELINGS HAVE DISAPPEARED
HERE IS THAT RAINBOW I'VE BEEN PRAYING FOR
IT'S GONNA BE A BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT SUN SHINY DAY
LOOK ALL AROUND THERE'S NOTHING BUT BLUE SKIES
LOOK STRAIGHT AHEAD THERE'S NOTHING BUT BLUE SKIES
I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW THE RAIN IS GONE
I CAN SEE ALL OBSTACLES IN MY WAY
HERE IS THAT RAINBOW I'VE BEEN PRAYING FOR
IT'S GONNA BE A BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT SUN SHINY DAY
IT'S GONNA BE A BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT SUN SHINY DAY
BRI-RI-RI-RI-RIGHT
BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT SUN SHINY DAY
OH YEAH
IT'S GONNA BE A BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT SUN SHINY DAY
IT'S GONNA BE A BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT SUN SHINY DAY
IT'S GONNA BE A BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT SUN SHINY DAY.
That song was for you Carol. Great blog, as always!
Zona congrats on 1st! Have a good weekend.
Hi Vig, Ibb, Tinka, Lynn D, Goldie, Just_Lin and Whabbear.
Update on mum is that she is ok today. Her speech still sounds slurred and my sister says she is a little slower than she was at getting up out of chairs. We have found out this morning that with the condition mum is in strokes are something to watch for. We hadn't heard that before. Doing any new testing at this point really isn't worth it. So for now she is OK. Thanks for the concern. ((HUGS))
Shirley Thanks for the optimisitic song and (((HUGS))) to you.
Good Quarter after Noon!
Just stopping by to say a quick Hello to everyone..My company is due here any minute now..not sure exactly when. Listen for the howls from the desert..look for the flares..that'll be me!! ;)
Waving HI to VIG, IBB, CPGEM, TINK, LYNND, GOLDIE (Yes, but maybe if I turned it off..),
J/L, SHIRLEY (glad your mom is doing a bit better) and BEAR!
AREA 51:
DIANNE: The air mattress is blown. Now here's hoping that Mr Z and I laying on it doesn't cause it to explode and launch us around the room...I can hear you laughing about that one!! :D
The pool is ready to go..house is clean as a whistle..well, almost. Snacks are on their way too...wow it almost sounds like the perfect weekend. Almost. ;)
Text away...I'm going to need all the smiles you can send!!
I hope everyone has a wonderful day..VIG..I'll be out front with my suitcase and ice cream. You've got about 30 minutes.. ;)
JODI!!! Fire up the tube! :D
TINA: LOL! :D
And away I go... :D
Hello, Shirley and Zona! :)
Zona - Good Luck my Darling Daughter. I will be thinking of you.
Happy Friday Owls.
Carol, It doesn't usually rain here for days on end, so I don't know that feeling. It's easy to like the rain when it only happens occasionally. I'm glad for you that you have sun today.
And as long as your are going to be in AZ, why not pop over one more state to CA. I have ice cream too, and I'll even cook you tripe!
Zona, by now you are probably entertaining away. I hope you can keep the stress level down. ;)
Shirley, Glad your Mum is doing OK.
J/L, thanks for the QOTD. Love the pic of your rack.
Goldie, sounds like you will have a wonderful Mom's day.
IBB, At least you have a name to your aches and pains. Now you can suffer scientifically.
Tinka, Sounds like your Mom's day will be filled with family and fun.
Lynn, We have a lot of sun and I still have a Vitamin D deficiency. I try to get vitamin D through my food but I guess chocolate doesn't have enough.
Vig, up early and got #10.
Bear, No PS this month?
Waving to all the Owls.
I've got to go make potato salad for a sorority brunch tomorrow. I'm sure it won't be a good as Jodi's, but it will have to do. BBL
ZONA: Are they there yet? Haven't heard from you for a few hours so maybe.....I hope they are different this time and you end up having fun. At least you will get to go out to dinner...
CAROL: I'm sorry you have been feeling bad due to the rain. We don't have much rain here and even if we have a snowy season, we have over 300 days of sun so sometimes a gloomy day is nice.
Not much new out here...got my nails done, had lunch with daughter and a friend and now home doing some wash for trip. We have a wedding tomorrow night and then leave the next day. I think I would like to take a nap but then I will never even get laundry finished. Mr D is now officially home for the summer break!
TINA: Did you get the tux yet? How are the prom plans coming by now? Can he drive your car? Details, please.....
I wanted to wish all of you mothers a very Happy Mother's Day and weekend.
Happy Friday!!

Hi there Hooters!! Hope everyone had/is having a terrific day... Carol's got the rainy day blues (I think we all get them, yes?) and MEKs going to try to fry an egg on the sidewalk.
Everyone here is asleep. Except me. I had a marathon nap (coma) on the plane.
Happy Friday everyone!
Carol we had sun today and it felt good!
I'm totally like you, I crave the sun.
Carol, can't you find a way to trick yourself into liking the rain? Maybe dance naked in it? With a hunky man? Whab might be up for it!
I posted this on facebook and I forgot that not everyone is over there.
Hubby is now down to 145. He was 146 yesterday. When all this madness started he was 163. I have been really worried about him.
I think he needs to take some type of anxiety medcine.
iteach Maybe you could get your hubby to eat some kind of shakes or something.
Bonacci Where are you?
Good evening everyone.Sorry I haven't been commenting. I have been reading the blogs and comments. I have been busy getting ready for our trip. It isn't easy packing for two weeks on thee road. All Mr Mary has to do is jump in the car & go lol!
Thank goodness my son lives with us, so we don't worry too much about leaving our dog,or our lawn turning into a wheat field! He is an ex-marine, so he is a good house sitter too lol!
Justlynn,,nice hooter shot :):)
Carol,We have had great sunny days here.I hope they reach you soon! The weather tends to effect my mood too.
JustLin, Right now I'm my house in Vigo Di Cadore, Italy. I go to Geneva on Monday to work on the Large Hadron Collider (you can find it on the internet. When it's done, I come home and start a normal job which I'm excited about. I'll tell you all anything you want to know, but I just got real tired; I'm going to snooze for a bit now.
I missed all of you and couldn't wait to check in here. Says something for all of YOU!
good night (morning?). I'll bhe back after I've refreshed. Thanks for still being here!
Ciao ciao! Sogni d'oro to you all!
bonacci,ciao! I will be dreaming about beautiful Italy!
Just got home from "Walking with Dinosaurs". It was fantastic. I am off to bed. Good Night and God Bless All. Love, Tinka
