My holiday weekend began on Wednesday morning with a trip to the emergency room with Mom. She was admitted and spent the next two days in three separate rooms. Ya gotta love a mega hospital on a holiday weekend. Anyway, by Thanksgiving night she was toast and so was I. I checked her out taking [...]

And, no, this is not in place of my usual Friday posts. Somebody out there is gonna have to work I’ll bet and I’ll be on the job for them on the “real” Friday morning to assure that they can start their day in a right and proper manner.
Since it’s Random Wriday today, I’ll begin [...]
Ten on Tuesday, the grateful list
Posted in family, knitting, pets, soundtrack on November 25, 2008 | 8 Comments »
I’m big on gratitude. I am not entitled to anything. Sometimes I whine like I am, but I know deep down inside that I’m not “due” a damn thing. Because of that, and Nora’s lovely post yesterday, I am going to list ten things for which I am grateful.
1. My health. I am blessed with [...]

Good morning. It’s Monday and this is a three day week for me! I’m thrilled. I even got the grass cut (it was over 6″ long) and the lawn mower emptied out and put away for the winter. Oh, yippee. One more thing off the list. No raking done, but the leaves on the grass [...]
Good morning to you. Good morning to you.

People let me tell you ’bout my best friend

I agree with People magazine. Hugh Jackman is one of the sexiest men alive. But, can somebody help me here? Since when does it matter whether he has two kids or not? Does it make him sexier? Does it not make him sexier? Is a person of more value if they procreate? I’m on a [...]
Oh, no, Mr. Bill. It’s Random Wednesday

OK. There were a few comments about “Pirate Ships” yesterday, so I did some more research. It is actually a song by Wendy Waldman. I had only heard it as a lullaby and had sung it to my nieces when they were very very very small (I’m not that confident), so I was surprised that [...]
Be true to your school

What does that have to do with anything? How about our weekly trip to “Ten Things on Tuesday”? Whadyasay gang! I wonder if there are medications for my condition? I’m sure there are, but that’s not why we’re here, is it? No, indeed.
I’m gonna name ten songs that I know the words to. Sort of [...]
This is an estate?

There is a house about two doors up from us that has been empty for about four years. Three years the homeowner was in a nursing home in Maryland. She died a year ago and this weekend was the weekend they had an estate sale. I have always thought an estate sale required an “estate” [...]

Yes. Due to the Nora’s, Emiko’s and April’s kind donations, the cleverness of Annie and her suggestion about recycling, and Marianne (who hasn’t updated her blog since April for pity sakes) who generously donated approximately 150 exclamation points of her very own (I lost count because my eyes crossed), we are back in Friday business.
