I accidentally ran into this blog earlier today when what I STARTED to do was compile my list of 10 physical abilities I am grateful for (The Gratitude Challenge).As usual...

It's true... Del Taco has opened locations in McTexas. A few weeks ago my son came home with the oh so familiar bag. I could smell the cheese. He handed me this little packet of the mild sauce I'd been so desperate for family members to send me in the mail.Still, I doubted him.Had a friend just flown in from California perhaps and brought the food with him?Not unheard of.I like to make a stop

I just read a fun chain-letter like FB post.I clicked “like” and was dispensed the age of “29”. (after my plea for any age other than my true, factual age of 53… please)The kind lad issued me 29 with the just-like-a-son comment; because we know that’s what age you really are.Undoubtedly I should ignore the entire matter or white lie and post to FB – but I can't and you know it....¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´

Everybody have fun tonight .... Single Adult dance last night .... yeehaw heh As usual I danced every 'fast' song .... with other women or groups of women. Seems the men in my age range prefer slow dancing, which I abhor. Not the physical act of slow dancing, the slow dancing with someone you don't know, trying to make chit chat and be heard or hear over the music, trying to determine if they're

Likely I do not need to preface this post with a statement of behavioral explanation. However, in case you hadn't noticed... I am easily distracted when multi-tasking darkens my doorstep.I was unexpectedly home yesterday waiting on washer repair and opted not to spend the extra time just doing homework and tidying up, but to revisit the blog.I began my post and in true

Four years ago when I was just joining the church we had these awesome elders who were seemingly here all the time. *shrug* OK, so I didn't know there are organized follow up discussions and visits they like to have with new members. We had some great chats and they always only answered what I asked or initiated in the conversation. I guess I say that because I have some non member friends who

"Cremation" according to the governing laws of the Texas Funeral Service commission [CHAPTER 711. GENERAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO CEMETERIES] means the irreversible process of reducing human remains to bone fragments through extreme heat and evaporation, which may include the processing or the pulverization of bone fragments. Someone in Institute class asked yesterday why the Church 'frowns' upon

The forced heat system has been inop for about 3 weeks. Yup since just after the snow and ice days.For this I am most grateful.However, the wimp in me is sneezing and shivering as the house grows increasingly colder from accumulated 30 degree nights.So this morning I dug out my little space heater from the days of working in a place with women who were always UNBEARABLY HOT [I shouldn't speculate

Why do people lie?Why do people lie about seemingly unimportant things?Being lied to hurts.You don't matter to me at all, all that matters is that I get what I want, when I want it and if I have to fool you, even if just for a short while to obtain what I want ... it simply does not matter to me.I can't express how much it hurts and how it rather puts a sickening pit in my stomach.Snort - human

Seems as if I no sooner put the car in reverse to back out of the garage and I think of a topic I want to write about. I'll be zipping along on the freeway, wishing my cellphone had online capabilities so that I could blog away from home.

We had a black, long haired cat many years ago in Cali, but upon the advice of my daughter's pediatrician, gave her away. We have asthma and though not specifically allergic to cats, he felt dander exacerbated her attacks. My daughter was at the time being hospitalized 2-3 times every year so

Totally untrue, but it's a worthwhile goal!I have three weeks now to study for my AAPC exam.I'm working part time for the church and it is the GREATEST JOB IN THE WORLD.Naturally I wish it were a bit closer, as I developed allergies to commuting when I left California, however, it is still all worth it.Co-workers are amazing.

I attended a genealogy seminar today.I was particularly impressed by this statistic, given in one of the talks [David E. Rencher]...“one-third of the world’s population born today has no written record of their existence or recognition of nationality. This not only makes the living memory extremely valuable, but very perishable.”I was just overwhelemed with the strong desire to stand up and

Specifically, about the fact that I hadn't used the phone since about 2:00, to send a txt, and when I checked it later about 8:00, it was on an internet page.I don't pay for data so I was slightly panicked.How long had it been on that page?

Oddly, yesterday I picked up one item and actually read through it.In particular, this was a high gloss magazine of ads called Home Upgrades.Hey, I need fence repair, I thought I'd look at some gorgeous fence alternatives before I called my plain and simple repair guy.What I found was an article titled

Hi my name is dallas, and I used to be a semi-compulsive shopper. That said ... am I the only one who has recently tuned in to the television program "Hoarders"? Oh, I was never anything like those people depicted on TV, [bet they think that as well] but given the declining health of some of those folks I can just about see how it might begin.

Major changes here yesterday.If I haven't told you, the lad came home from BYU-I a few months ago driving a 1977 Nova.Yep, this beauty.He had to have a rush 'new engine' put in in order to be able to drive it home.But it made it.

I was asked recently, what I blog about. Initially I had no hesitation at all. My first response is always, everything and anything. Then I remembered how I'd wiped my slate clean a few months ago, and how difficult it had been to begin again. Why? At first I thought I had nothing to say. Oh, that's never true.

Tropical storm Hermine may have landed lightly Monday but picked up plenty of punch by Wednesday and created more than one tornado.I've also been on a cleaning spree for a while.

Einstein Bagels saved my life today.Ok, well, really their cranberry bagel was just the icing on the livesaving cake, but nonetheless.I enjoy a lifesaving day.. don't you?Y'all know I'm recovering from surgery three or so days ago.Seems the surgi strips and I don't get along.So the doc told me to remove them. Seems pretty cut and dry that is what was wrong. The areas of irritation are shaped oh

We had a hard time wrapping our heads around this the first summer we were here.Yup, tax free shopping.All weekend.On all kinds of stuff.It's true I don't ever need another composition book or index card and I recently gave away two dozen spiral notebooks without even making a dent in the pile. But I did eliminate all crayons [church primary classes], markers [delighted next-door-neighbors],

I once said to my kids: the road to hell is paved with good intentions. They've never forgiven me. We both laugh and shudder still every time we are about to speak using the word intentions. So it is in this frame of mind I tell you I have meant to post almost every day since school started in February. [c'mon, y'all already know how snarky I am] School. It's over now. I have my Collin College

I have a presentation due Monday. I have to choose a disease, research the signs and symptoms, how the disease manifests itself along with the disease progression, then determine relevant treatment/protocols, and of course include the relevant ICD 9 code. My instructor sent an e-mail reminder that there are two components to the submission: At least two pages, typed AND a minimum 5 minute

Have you seen this?David Letterman got inside one last night on his show as he [surprisingly] reviewed kid's summer toys.One was a toy my kids had abut 10 years ago. It looks like a plastic ball, you set a built in timer and toss it around like hot potato. What he didn't know was that it has a water balloon inside that bursts when time is up.I'm guessing the tie he had on was not the Kohl's

I was lying in bed pondering why I could not go back to sleep.Baby girl woke me and though I did not initially get to it quickly enough, felt compelled to get out of bed and call her back.She was calling the the oh so important question of whether I had arranged her campus to airport shuttle transportation for semester end when she is - not coming home, but going to spend her off semester with

I have my final today in intro - to - coding. Yes, I know it's INTRO to coding, which will be followed with coding 1, then coding 2, then an expensive review class, then a five hour test .... still this is where I am in the educationamal process, having been out of school, oh 20, 25 years .....so it is today's big step.

As a joke I recently clicked to join as a fan on a facebook page that was something like; 'somewhere, somehow a duck is watching you...'. I know it SEEMED not to make any sense but in the odd family that we are, we remember everything. Years and years ago I took my kids to a park with a lake, which was highly populated with ducks and geese. They were acting a bit afraid of all the waterfowl

I took a break from worrying about my son and his road trip to go get a pedicure earlier this evening - heh, I don't really worry about him, but we keep in touch by txt. Y'all know I've said I'd spend my last dollar [well, yeah, last $25.00] on a pedicure before I'd buy food .... So it's busy, but not too busy in the nail salon. Mostly semi-older [my age] women trying to beat the rush of tomorrow

Have a friend who ran the Boston Marathon. Tried and tried all evening and this morning to get news to watch for vid clips or such, hoping, just hoping one might happenchance to be one with her in it. [it could happen] HLN Morning Express devoted 12 minutes to auto racing, even focusing on one driver who participated despite his recent knee surgery. They gave 18 seconds to the marathon. HELLO!

Woke up at 4:00 AM thinking perhaps I was worried about the lad starting his road trip after all. He and the roommates are leaving California and heading back to Idaho this morning... early, early this morning. I chuckled to myself thinking naw, maybe it's just that I had an awesom e Sunday nap yesterday. Still, I got up, puttered a bit and was about to crawl back into bed when I realized ....

SO in case you were not aware, I came by a while back and deleted five year's of posts. Oh, I printed them all to keep for the sake of journaling, but for some reason felt compelled to start anew. Didn't want to delete the actual blog, because I follow others and well, I used to have a lot of links on my page. Forgot and deleted most of my sidebar. I will have to begin again with those, though I

Everytime I come and write I end up deleting the entire post before I actually click "publish".Am I done blogging?It's surely not that I have nothing left to say.

I was tagged by the fabulous Tiffany Aller for a Pretty Mama's MeMe - What I do, is tell you about five things that start with "Before I was a mom...". If you’re tagged, you need to tag five pretty moms, as well as the one who tagged you. The idea is that if you get tagged again, you will know you are really pretty! hee Add your name to the bottom of the tagged persons list, and without bumping
