Things you didn't know

Good morning, all! I stole this one from my sister Lisa . I like these kind of posts! Hope you all have a great weekend. I actually get a weekend finally, so I'm a very happy camper! I am rather pithy at times. I think often about the future. I know life is full of endless blessings. I have lots of painting to do, even though I've done hours of painting already..... The projects never end when buying a new home! I wish crystal balls were real - and they could tell me if my decisions would be failures or successes. I hate disappointing people. I miss my family. I fear that someday the US will be a 3rd world country. I hear birds singing outside. I smell coffee. I crave a day out on the lake. I search  for a place to get my hair done. It's been 2 years since I've been in a hair salon. I wonder what I will be doing 10 years from now. I regret not paying attention to the "formal meetings" when I was in a sorority in college. I went to my 1st

Garmin Grief

The time has come for a new Garmin. I am reaching out to anyone out there for suggestions....Here's what happened. (For anyone who doesn't know what a Garmin is, it's a running watch with GPS letting you know how far you've run, your splits, your elevation, etc ) Marc Antony is the name of my current Garmin. He is the second Garmin I've ran with. (I have a habit of naming my Garmin's Roman leaders & Gods. I don't know why. My 1st Garmin was named Julius. My next Garmin will either be named Spartacus or Pheidippides (the 1st marathon runner in history). Your vote ? Anyways...last Friday I was doing a nice 10 mile run (I have a half marathon in 3 weeks). And Sir Antony backed down on me. Luckily, I was doing an "out & back". I ran out 5 miles, and come 6.78 miles - he got "stuck". I assume it's early stage dementia. For after running about 300 more feet, he attempted to kick back in & act as though nothing happened.

Things we think & Do not say....

I'm doing it. You haven't heard from me in a while. It's been rather busy lately and when I'm not working, I'd much rather be outside playing, gardening, running, or in the kitchen cooking than anything else. But it's time for a rant. But 1st I must state my *disclaimer* * This is only humor. Please don't take this offensively and send me a personalized hate mail message or an angry annonymous comment saying I'm a cold, heartless, b*****. This is just a rant!* -Really?!, lady in the grocery store parking lot who is trying to desperately to Puuuuuush & LOB that grocery cart up on the crub. This is painful. You are expending so much energy. With ALL that energy you are expending...you could easily just walk those lazy little legs over to the cart rack and put the damn thing away. Thank you. -Hi new neighbor! Your chihuahua's constant barking needs to stop...or your dog is going to be fed chocolate by your new neighbor. Chihuahua's are
