Happy Friday...the end of the week. It seemed like a long one! Have a good weekend, everybody! And if you live in my area ,watch out for a new driver. That's right my baby boy got his license. Only took him 3 times! First time he didn't even get out of the parking lot...they nabbed him for not looking both ways when backing out. Kind of important, don't ya think? Second time, the back brake light was out so they wouldn't even test him..poor kid! Anyway, third time WAS a charm and he is now official. He's chomping at the bit to get on the road.....but I'm keeping him corraled for a while longer. We're starting out slow. Errands for me, picking up his brother or sister, driving to a babysitting job. I'm just not ready to turn him loose for "fun"! I'm not ready for any of this!
One more thing, I DO feel for Ms. B. Spears! A good therapist needs to get hold of her and keep her in seclusion for intensive therapy! That's all I got to say about that.....
Peace out!

Anna Nicole Smith
I can't get the death of Anna Nicole off my mind! I surely didn't know her. I definitely had no relationship with her. But everytime I saw her on T.V., or in the news for any reason, I felt sorry for her. She just seemed to me, to be a lost soul.
Her life was nothing to idolize, her every movement scrutinized and her character always in question. Yes, she did indeed bring it all on herself...but I can't help but wonder how she became who she was...or what she was perceived to be. How did Vicky Lynn (her birth name) BECOME Anna Nicole. I don't know the details of her childhood, but did she not have any guidance? I wonder. Did anyone make her feel loved or important? I think maybe her son Daniel was her only real love, and when he died maybe a part of her did too. And now her baby daughter is where? With whom? With her real dad? Will she ever know who that is? I wish I could take that little girl and give her a quiet normal life. I can only hope that some adult in her life will put her as a priority. Yes, I am saddened by the death of Anna Nicole Smith...maybe that sounds crazy. I guess it's because there always seemed to be a sadness about her, even with all the glitz and glam, like a little girl lost.

For attractive lips , speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes , seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair , let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day.
For poise walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed,
and redeemed; never throw out anyone.
Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.

I'm Back...
I can't believe it's been 2 weeks since I have last blogged...no excuse for it!! The days have been rather ordinary and I haven't felt much like "sharing". Sounds rather snobbish doesn't it? No offense.
The winter storm was a nice little change. I mean if it has to be this damn cold we should atleast have some beauty with it. The snow is beautiful...but now I'm ready for spring and then for the return of my beloved summer! The day the storm hit, it took me 45 minutes to make what is usually a 10 minute ride home. My sister was stuck at the hospital where she was, as she likes to say, "landlocked". She was looking at a 5 hour wait just to get out of the parking garage. So my friend Donna and I decided to go "on an adventure"...we decided to rescue her. So what should have been another 10 minute ride now took 1 1/2 hours to get to her. But Patty got tired of waiting and decided to walk to a nearby bar...go figure. So while D. and I sat in traffic, Patty trudged through a 1/2 mile of snow to get her hands on a beer, then called us and told us to pick her up there...Thanks, Pat!! By the time we got there we knew there was no just picking her up and sitting in traffic again...so we went with the only choice we had....we joined her! I let Gary know that we were going to "wait out the traffic". Oops...not a happy husband! So, 2 hours later we figured it was safe to go and we were all safely home in 20 minutes. We are some damn smart women...very resourceful indeed. I love snow days!
I am going to try my best to blog more often....as if anyone really cares. Do you?
