Interesting Posts On Other Blogs

So I was reading this blog that asked the question, " What would your 18 year old self say to you now?" and this is what I came up with:
1) Whadya mean we aren't married to Ed anymore?!?!?!
2) We've been married how many times?!?
3) Thank goodness we're still friends with Vanessa Thompson and Janie Genet ....
4) We joined the Marine Corps??? That's nuts.
5) Wait a second...we're how old? Yikes!!
6) Are you sure we're divorced from Ed?
7) Why don't we live in California anymore?
8) Boy we've done some crazy things in this life (and oh my we were a bad girl at times...)
9) Hey...what happened to weighing 120 lbs?!?!
10) We had kids? And have two grandkids? Never saw that coming.
11) We are as cool as Grandma was though...that's good.
12) I don't see Mom...where is she???
13) Our soulmate wasn't Ed???
14) Man I can't believe we aren't still married to Ed.

Bah Humbug...Valentines Day

I'm kind of anti-Valentines Day, but at least it was a pretty sunrise.

Wishing Our Lives Away

Yesterday I was talking to my pal Janie on the phone and I was saying how I couldn't wait for 2 years, 2 months, and 16 days to go by so that I could retire and go home to California and start a brand new life on my own.  She said that she would often wish for time to go by also, like  when her vacation would start or I would be coming out, etc,  and she remembered being 17 and wishing she could be 18 so that she could do whatever she wanted, and then wishing for this or that etc.


Then it dawned her that in actuality she was wishing chunks of her life away at the same time.  And she's right...if the next 2 year, 2 months, and 16 days went by in the blink of an eye, so would that amount of my life.  But then I decided in this case, I would be okay with that because my life isn't all that anyway and I could do without it.


Really though I think everyone wishes at one time or another for time to go by quickly so they can get to the next chapter of their life, or go on that vacation, or start that new job, etc.  They don't think about their own life aspect in that period, probably because after all, just wishing for time to go by doesn't actually make it happen.

This Weather is Nuts!

I just hope this doesn't screw with my allergies...

If Only It Were That Simple

I wish I could. But I just can't yet. It will have to be later. I hope there is "later".

 Because I can never resist when I see the beautiful colors in the sky. God's way of saying "Good Morning!"

And then we have this:

We just bought those chairs and the dogs are supposed to stay off of them. Working really well, huh? lol   Can you say "Spoiled?"
