confessions

Okay, time for confessions, so here goes.
1. I love, love, love Christmas music.  I would listen to it every day of the year if my kids and husband wouldn't make fun of me.
2. I love, love, love any holiday and decorate my cubical at work for them.  But...I only decorate for Christmas, Halloween and Fall/Thanksgiving at home.  I used to decorate for all the holidays at home but when the kids grew up and moved out I just lost the motivation for it. 
3. I have a wonderful i-pod that is fully downloaded and I've not listened to it once. 
4. I'm electronically challenged. Thus the reason for confession #3.
5. I have a room dedicated to sewing and crafting that I don't use hardly at all any more. 
6. I could live on popcorn.  I love it!
7. We bought a Wii a week after Christmas and I've not played it once. (see confession #4)
8. I have joined Weight Watchers and quit Weight Watchers more than 5 times.  Not that is doesn't work...it does.  I have commitment issues, I guess.
9. I never lie about my age.  I'm 57.  My weight, well that's another story.

     That's it.  Another set of confessions.  I hope you enjoy them.  Please feel free to comment on anything I post. 
     My posts will be a lot more interesting when I have a few pictures to add.  I can't wait for July when Suzy come out so she can teach me how to do that. (See confession #4.)
     Now for my blog thought.
                                                 A grandpa is a man with silver on his head and gold in his heart.

I'm just saying....

     I'm not too sure about this blogging stuff without photos.  I know it's a good way to journal.  But am I really going to write things on a blog that I even hesitate to write in my journal?  I don't think so.  Heck, there are things I don't even write in my journal.

     I want to blog every day but I find it difficult.  I don't know how all you young mothers do it. It takes time.  I do love it when Suzy blogs daily, so when she has a dry spell of a week or so, I get a little edgy, depressed, angery...well you get the idea.

     I have a cold rignt now.  It started with a "rusty" throat, then a cough came along and then this morning I woke up with a super duper sore throat.  I thought I was going to skip that part because when the cough came the "rusty" throat went away.  Bummer.  I just took a couple of Nyquil tablets with some Alka Seltzer Night Time cold medicine.  I'm now starting to feel a bit woozy.  I wonder why?

     Gail has been on his 4 graveyard rotation.  Tonight is the last of the 4.  When he got home this morning at 0600, it was the first time I've talked to him in 3 days.  You see, when he gets home I'm asleep.  Then he gets in bed, careful not to wake me up.  When my alarm goes off I get up, careful not to wake him up.  I then get ready for work.  He leaves for work about 1530 and I get home at about 1800.  I don't mind him working the graveyard shift, but I so miss not talking to him.  We have such great conversations.  I just don't get the same feedback from Bingo that I do from Gail.  But he starts his 4 days off tomorrow then back to his 4 days of day shift. 

     I'm really starting to feel the effects of my cold medicine now.  So I will leave you with my thought of the day.  "It doesn't matter if the glass is half full or half empty...I'm just glad to have a glass."

confessions

Okay, it's been a while, but I thought I would try this blog thing again.  And what a way to start.  I am going to do the confession thing.  Here goes nothing...

1.  I hate beet greens!  They are the nastiest things I have ever tasted.  You just chew & chew & chew...then when you swallow half of them stay in your mouth and the other half goes down your throat because no matter how much you chew & chew & chew they just don't...well you get the idea.
2.  I love reality T.V.
3.  I have a DSI and I love it.  That's right I just turned 57 and I have a DSI.  Gail made fun of me because I wanted one so bad, but who played it the entire 1 1/2 hours I was in the dentist chair...
4.  I have a favorite niece...but I won't tell you who it is.  But I think she knows.
5.  I don't have a favorite Grandchild, but if I did it would be ... Just kidding. I could never choose!
6.  I hate doing the dishes because I don't have a dishwasher.  I know it's only Gail and I most of the time for meals, but I just hate doing dishes.
7.  I love to read what I have written in my journals but I hate to write in them.  It just takes so much time.  Maybe if I watched a little less reality T.V.
8.  I didn't want to go back to work but now that I have I love it!!
9.  I love Diet Coke.  But I really, really love Diet Dr. Pepper.  And at my new job they have a fountain soda machine and I can have all the Diet Dr. Pepper I want...and it's FREE!!
10. I don't like face book.  I get all confused and stuff.

     Well that's it.  My first confession blog. 
     I hope to be able to post pictures on my blog.  But that will have to wait until July when Suzy comes to visit, because I don't know how to download them, yet.  Maybe I can get Ryeley to help me. 
     I now have to go get ready for work.  For a job that I love.  The only bad thing about working all day is that I don't get to talk to Suzy all day.  We talked several time a day and during the holiday season we talked almost not stop on some days.  It was a blast and I will miss that.  But, right now, work is GOOD, and I love it. 
     Before I go, I will leave you with a little thought:  "We can choose to be miserable or we can choose to be happy.  They take the same amount of work.  So you choose.  Miserable or Sad.  It's up to you!"
