Not Feeling It

I don't feel like blogging here today. Even though I know I really should. I certainly have a lot of things to say, It's just that there's more bad than there is good. ___ I don't feel like blogging here today. There are lots of things that really got me down. I'm trying to keep … Continue reading Not Feeling It →

Stress Relief

I would not consider myself a "gamer." I know plenty of them. They have special headphones with microphones so they can talk to other people in the game that they are playing. Sam's brothers are often playing games and we can hear the other players talking to them often. My older sons also play a … Continue reading Stress Relief →

Friday Photo Flashback

It's another Friday Photo Flashback! Here is today's photo: I am unsure of the year on this photo, but I'm going to guess I am 6 and my brother is 4.

57 Years Ago … Dean

"The Dean Martin Show" debuted on September 16, 1965. For most of its run, Dean's variety hour was a fixture on the NBC Thursday night lineup. Martin was initially reluctant to do the show, partially because he did not want to turn down movie and nightclub performances. His terms were deliberately unrealistic: as author Lee … Continue reading 57 Years Ago … Dean →

One Liner Wednesday

So I guess today is "One Liner Wednesday." Many of the blogs I follow were posting quotes today. I actually posted this quote on my Facebook this week and it is a quote that sums up the week for me. There is another quote, which I believe came from the movie Scarface: "Never beg anyone. … Continue reading One Liner Wednesday →

Christmas in September

To say that the past few days have been stressful is an understatement. There have been some very good moments and I tried to just take them all in. However, something was on my mind all weekend. I'm not going to get into detail on that. I could, but I won't. Let me just state … Continue reading Christmas in September →

Lordy, Lordy, I’m Down 40!

Today, I began my 16th week on Weight Watchers. When I weighed in this morning, I was happy to see that I had hit a major milestone.

Where Am I Going?!

Yesterday I took the kids to a birthday party for a co-worker's daughter. She lives about 40-45 minutes from me. I punched the address into the GPS and it told me where to go. My co-worker sent me a text saying to look for the pink and purple balloons on the mailbox on the side … Continue reading Where Am I Going?! →

Time To Play

I know very few adults who wake up and jump out of bed with a ton of energy. Personally, I get up and need a cup of coffee in order to get the day going. My daughter, however, always seems to be up and ready for the day as soon as she gets out of … Continue reading Time To Play →
