Rarely Blogging

That seems to be the topic of the day, but it’s what has been on my mind of late. I just did an entry about it over at my Winter Lilies blog too. Anyway, it’s not really that I’ve been so busy, though I’ve had plenty to do, I just lost the excitement and ferver of sharing tidbits of my life on these blogs. I am going to try and get back to blogging a bit more regularly, and yes, with personal entries instead of book reviews and other entries.

Meg’s birthday was the past Monday….*sigh*…so hard to think that my baby is 8 now. She’s a beautiful girl, inside and out. She brings me so many smiles, hugs and joy. A true light in my life!! We are planning to have a birthday party for her this coming Sunday. This past Sunday was my cousin’s high school graduation, so he didn’t want to share his day with Meg’s birthday…*LOL*..Can’t really blame him!! Wow, only a few days away, guess I better get ready with the preparations, making sure everyone is invited, will probably just get a cake on my way up to where we are celebrating.

After Meg’s party, with any luck I’ll be going out with my Aunt and cousins, whom I call Mom, and bros and sis’s, for an evening of fun. We planned this a couple of weeks ago, so I’m hoping all is still a go…just have to make sure my Dad or Uncle will watch the girls for me. It’s not often that I go anywhere without the girls, but it is fun once in awhile to have an all adult get together…

Well anyway, that’s my plans for right now….*HUGS* to you all.

Hair Loss Treatments

The hair loss treatments advertisements piqued his interest. It’s not so much that he minded the receding hair-line, but more the fact that he was afraid of getting older. It was not something that he had excepted yet, thinking that he was only liked and loved for the way he looked, or all that he could do, without the addition of “for a man of your age”. That sentence always irked him, probably because he still liked to believe that he was numero uno, and not just in his age category.

Mesothelioma

The diagnosis mesothelioma was a shock. But one way or another she would get through this, she was sure of that, confident of that. She was a strong person, and she would not let this get the best of her, she would fight, as she’s always fought. She would win, simply because for her there was no other option. She took a deep breath as she left the Dr’s office, and felt better for giving herself the pep talk.

Samsonite Luggage

The Samsonite luggage was packed and setting by the door when he walked in. It was a suprise, and not at all unexpected at the same time.

“Going somewhere?” he asked when he found her in the kitchen.

“Yes, I’m going home to the ranch for awhile.” she said “My plane leaves in acouple of hours.

“You might have told me about this sooner you know.” He said.

“You know this was coming just as I did.” she replied. “I need time. We both need time to get through this.”

Zero Radius Sinks

On occasion I end up with some odd phrases, or keywords. Today would be one of those times. I have to wonder what zero radius sinks are. I’ve heard of zero radius lawn mowers are, but sinks? Just what exactly is this, and why do we as people need them? It’s mind boggling to me. I do not understand why we are supposed to need and want all the latest gizmos and gadgets. I will admitt to having things, and wanting more “new” things, but I pick and choose, and I can’t see a sink being all that much concern to me.

Sales Jobs

sales jobs were not usually what she sought, but this one might be different, and at least hopefully it would pay the bills. Finances had been a constant struggle since childhood, so she was used to it. She did however dream of the day when she wouldn’t have to juggle the bills so much, deciding what she could afford to pay this week, and what would have to wait. She dreamed of the day when she could afford to buy a few extras now and then. Heck even a new bottle of nail polish would be nice.

Candle

The flames of candles flickered around the room. This was what she liked best about the cabin high in the mountains. She brought out her stock of candles, set them around the room, and watched the tiny flames flicker in the darkness….It brought her peace and comfort, which is what she sought most at this point and time in her life.

She had realized she had no direction for her life, no real firm goals. It was like she was lost, and wandering alone in the woods. So she had come here to do some serious thinking.

Term Life Quote

The term life quote was not bad. A do-able price for sure, but it wouldn’t have really mattered anyway. He was an insurance fiend, simply because he wanted to be prepared for the worst, and make sure that no matter what happened to him, his family would be financially secure. Life had a way of being unpredictable, even for control freaks like himself. He was a planner, a worrier, and didn’t like when things upset his plans, but he dealt with it the best he could.

Golf Training Aids

All the golf training aids were not going to help her…*LOL* She was hopeless at golf, mainly because she had never seen the point of this game. She had taken up golf because her boyfriend enjoyed the game. A silly reason overall, she knew that, but it was one of those silly things she did in an attempt to please other people. That was her main flaw, always trying to please other people. No matter how many times she tried to stop, she found herself falling into that trap again.

Flash Memory

The flash memory was almost full, but she was sure there would be just enough space for the remaining files that she needed to save. She always did this with the important files, and this was one of the most important, at least to her. She wanted this to be saved always, for the time that it would be needed. This file contained the words of her heart, and her soul. This file, these words will be needed.
