Life As I See It

I bet you are so happy to have your son working!
Will this be your first grandchild....or do you have others? Be sure to post pics when she has it!!

Great pic! Have some coffee on the patio for me too.....I'm having to drink mine on the enclosed porch.....too rainy and stormy around these parts to be outside for long. Sure don't want to get struck by lightning!!!

I'm gonna have to go back and read some of your other blogs. I think it was great for you to go out and spend time with your sis. And I think you hit it on the head when you said you weren't going to go off on the negative tangent. Look forward, and aim high!

Ouch! Hearing about the toothpick in the foot made me cringe! I am glad that you re-thought the idea of chasing your GF around with cotton balls glued to you.....that would be cruel.....and you'd have it coming if she littered the whole house with toothpicks.....so ya better not go there!
There isn't enough space in the comment area to tell you of the things I'm afraid of.....some of them are like double edged swords....I love them and hate them all at the same time!!!

If what you are doing brings you joy and you are happy, then I'd say you are doing exactly what you were meant to do. There may be something else missing in your life....and you need to find out what it is. Bottom line, I think you're in the right place!

She is so precious! Great pics! And may I suggest that you "happen to carry your camera in your pocket" all the time from now on?!!! She'll grow up way too fast. Be proud!!!!

I got this email too....and laughed my butt off (but dang it...the butt came back after I laughed it off!). It reminded me of the movie "What Women Want"....when Mel Gibson did the wax job on his leg.....twice! Or how about "40 Year Old Virgin" when they get his chest waxed!!!!!
I've never waxed.....never will!

Hey Art......be happy you get to see your son in June! Maybe she is up to something, but as long as you're on the look out, you won't get blindsided by anything.
Glad its you and not me doing those trees. I'd be dead by the time I got 2 in the ground!
Might be a bad subject for you, but it might be helpful to you to blog about it too. Sometimes getting stuff off your chest helps. And if the people here are anything like the people who used to be on blogster, they are very understanding, sympathetic and caring. And everyone wants to help!
Hugs to ya'll.

The computer is probably 2 years old or less....Windows XP, and IE version 6.0. It came with the computer. Wait.....I'm going to have to say it is 3-4 years old (wow - time flies!) I want to say we got it in December of '05.....
I really do appreciate all your help! Thanks so much.

what a great blog! I can flip an egg, I can bake with the best of 'em, I rock at a lot of things.....and I super-suck at a lot of other stuff! Is it too late to suck up for some good baking from you? Chocolate anything will do!!
I am "directionally challenged" and usually get lost on a trip at least once.....local stuff I'm okay on....but head me out of town and I'll make at least one wrong turn. And I always know I made the wrong turn almost immediately after I make it!
You are a hoot! In Ontario, right? I have gone fishing up in Ontario...a place WEST of Thunder Bay.

Will you share? Too bad these people keep doing this....but they do because they get some suckers to buy into it! Darn them!

so are ya going to blog some more? We all want to hear more about that lil nephew of yours!

Hmmmmm......I think i might know you......have you been on blogster?
I could give you a clue as to who I am, but let's see how your investigative skills are!!!

Go girl go! I have got to draw some inspiration from you. I started paying more attention to my eating habits again......then seemed to fail miserably at the end of the week. But I will not let myself quit. I just need to get myself back into the walking and/or bike riding habit. I will. I'll just keep reading your blog and that will help me to get motivated!!!
Thanks for all the help with my blog. Still a few things that don't work right....but I can add friends now! YEA. I still can't search for anybody - like you and I tried yesterday....but I'll hunt and peck my way around.

Sometimes it takes something like this (illness) to wake us up to what is really happening in our lives. It took my ex having an affair for me to finally admit to myself that all those times in the past, when I thought he was cheating, but would talk myself out of believing it.....well he really was. I was very good at "coping" and that is not how to live. I spent too many nights crying myself to sleep....with him right beside me not even knowing I was crying (attentive man, wasn't he?!!) I do know that whatever you decide is right for you, you'll do it. And no matter which way you go.....you keep your eyes looking forward. Can't change the past, so why keep lookin' back there! I read in a book to keep life in perspective by keeping your car (of all things) in mind.....the windshield is great big and the rearview mirror is very small! I liked that thought a lot!!
Wishing you a speedy recovery and know that there are a bunch of us out here that care and will keep ya'll in our prayers!
