First, a little background.
I grew up with a mom who was creative in everything.  Our home was always the best decorated, all of it created by my mother.  We lived in a tiny 3 bedroom house with 5 kids (6 when the step sister came to visit), so we did not have a kitchen table, [...]

It’s that time of year again.  Time for flowers, candies, special jewelry, time to show the one you love how you feel (as if you don’t do that all year long–or at least you should!)  It’s also time for some lonely people to feel sorry that they don’t have anyone to celebrate the day with.  [...]

As I mentioned in my previous post, my husband was transferred out of state, to Oregon for work.  He is there now, living happily in our new apartment.  Meanwhile, I am still here in our old apartment, trying to get everything packed up.  Keep in mind that I am a 52 year old overweight woman [...]

It’s 2:00 in the morning and even with my sleeping pills, I can’t sleep, so here I am, putting in writing some of the things that are bothering me and keeping me awake.  Now, if you read my blogs, I don’t usually “journal” on here, but tonite is an exception, so either bear with me….. [...]

The following is a Re-post from the blog entitled “mypicturesofmontana.com“.  This family has had some terrible things befall them in the last few months, and now need our help.  Just $5.00 from some big hearted people would be of great help.  C’mon, you can sacrifice 1/2 of a meal out, a pot roast, a movie [...]

Found this little gem at Gizmodo.com.  It is in Dubai and is touted as being the talles and most expensive fountain in the world.  Leave it to Dubai to out do everyone! They also claim to have the world’s tallest tower, but I’ll save that for another post!  Enjoy the video… it gets better and [...]

Received this “en-deering” (sorry) video in my email.  It is so cute! Apparently, these people learned how to tame the shy beast. Ready to smile?? Click the start button already!
( Don’t worry, no animals were harmed during the making of this video.)

My husband found this on the web in an online German newspaper.  If all weddings started out this way, perhaps more would last a lifetime.    I thought it was worth sharing.

As I was growing up, I always envied the girls who were able to take dance lessons or gymnastics.  Unfortunately, my family couldn’t afford to put me into a class, let alone buy the clothing or dance shoes that were required, so that dream, along with so many others passed me by.  When my daughter [...]

I must apologize for the fact that it has been over a month since I last posted.  I seem to be struggling with a case of “blog writer’s block”.  So, I will just tell you what has been going on in my life.
School is going well, I am into the third week of my second [...]
