This is Gonna Be A Day!

I woke up at 4 a.m. this morning and got onto Facebook. Yes, that's right, I said Facebook. They contacted me several more times and then decided I needed a new password. L O N G. After wracking up several good deeds in Farmvile, I asked myself, Is this worth it? Then I decided I could be keeping up with my blog instead so I deactivated my account. LOL, all that whining and I really didn't want to be there after all.

I just put food out for the two feral cats, one is really wild but has learned to trust me. She came sneaking out from under the car and as I began to shut the door, a snow flake came down and landed on my cheek. The kid in me thought Yippee! The adult with doctor and dentist appointments and a pick up at our lawyers office of our Will and accompanying Power of Attorney, etc. thought oh damn! We are supposed to have quite a snowstorm and with more than a few paltry inches.

I was to wait here for hubby to come home from his 9:15 appointment and he would take me to my 10:30 appointment. That's cutting it mighty short but he doesn't want me driving the other car, no snow tires, and just because he doesn't want me on the road today. I know he worries about me with such old vehicles which break down often and at the worst times, but these errands are closer to home. Still, I like my little driver, and yes, he is still a good driver. He just goes into a rant when some idiot runs him off the road because they are on their cell phones having an arguement with the spouse, etc. There have been some close calls and not because hubby is a slow poke. People's minds just seem to disengage and I don't think they even realize they are on the telephone when they do things like that.

I'm sorry I started this and can't finish it. My brain tells me to get ready and just go with him and then he won't have to rush. I have to get my valentine's to the great grandchildren in the mail and pick up prescriptions and then go to the attorney's office. The reason being, he passed away on New Year's Day and they are trying to get the office emptied. So sad, such a sweet man and much too young to go so soon.

So, It's time to shower and get dressed in order to be ready to go when huby wakes up in 20 minutes. I'm sure all who are from around here have heard about the Nor'eastern hitting us today and I'm the kind who likes to be inside a warm house with a good book to read after the power goes off. It always does so now we try to beat it to it. Be Prepared, the Boy Scout motto.

Have a glorious day staying home to play in the snow. I'm not planning on cooking for any length of time, I've done that before only to have disasterous results. I cooked last night just in case.

Take care people and remember to be careful if you are on the roads later this afternoon.

Times Just Flies

When you're having fun! I have spent all day lost in Farmville in Facebook. I'm too old for all that confusion and I say that because I was in over an hour trying to find out what to do and how to get out of my plot of land. Finally I hit the Escape key a few times and my prison door was opened. When I tried to sign in to harvest my crops, I was denied entry because Facebook said my account was disabled. They wanted my real name and birth date which is what I gave them. Nobody is going to go on there and say they were born in 1941. Anyway I told them they were mistaken and if we were off on such bad footing already, it was not a good sign. If they let me back on I will log in and then deactivate my account. So there! I'm really anxious to hear the excuse they are going to give me. From now on I will only play where the big girls play.

There's nothing exciting going on here but you already know that don't you? Anyone who would join Farmville and Petville has to lead a very boring life. Spent the afternoon watching the races and for maybe the 16th time, Parent Trap. Linsey Lohan was a little doll in those days. Just full of freckles.

We didn't get any of the snow they had forecast on the news. I think we've already had our share for the year, but oh, the cold! My knees have been like ice all day and my feet are freezing even with socks and leather sneakers on. Tomorrow is the football game so the guys will be holed up downstairs for that. I will spend most of the day sorting through all the mail and paperwork piled high on my kitchen table. That poor table is just in the right spot to catch everything.

Well, I know this wasn't much but my eyes are crossing and it's going on midnight so I will close. May all your days be as eventful as mine and for heaven's sake, stay off FaceBook!

Finally, Something to Write About

Yesterday was my big day out. The sun was shining and I felt pretty good since I was dressed in clothes and not my P.J.s. We had errands to run and we wanted to go out to lunch for my birthday.

We went to the 99 Restaurant for lunch and it was delicious. Hubby had his Country Fried Chicken (that's always safe), and I ordered a stuffed pork chop with hot red peppers, cheese and a special sauce over the top. I was being brave because I'm starting in with this trying something different once in awhile just to find something new that I like. We even shared a dessert. Then we did the errands and next we went to Walmart to buy Valentine cards for the great grandchildren. Whew, the price of cards now!

Walmart was completely different, the whole store was changed around and since I had been sick for so long, I never got there while they were making the changes. I was totally surprised, and lost. Just trying to find the cards took me almost a half hour because they were at the other end of the store. I don't like change, I like to go where I know the layout of the store or else I don't shop there. Well, I'd be lying if I said I enjoyed shopping in their newly decorated store. It just took too long to find things and the shopping cart was looking better and better to me. If I could have climbed up into it I would have.

Today my young friend came to visit me and brought the cutest birthday card and a miniature yellow rose bush. I have been telling my hubby I wanted something yellow in my kitchen window to cheer me up mornings. The rosebush is the perfect thing.

While my friend was here, she started talking about Facebook and how much she enjoyed it. Mindless me suggested she show me how to sign up and move around there in order to expand my mind a little. Oh my gosh, I was lost and it was so confusing. Naturally everybody I know is on that thing and I didn't dare change my name to go incognito. So now when I'm wide awake mornings, I will go there first in order to get all the little motors turning in my brain. Now if only I could find a way to stop the emails from coming in each time I get a new friend or have to confirm an invite. I have a feeling Facebook is going to drive me to drink. Non alcoholic beverages only. I'd most likely do much better slightly looped.

This afternoon I turned on the TV so I could watch Oprah. She was having Barbara Striesand on and I have always loved Barb. Between the first commercial and the start of the show, I dropped dead asleep. I couldn't believe I did that. One minute I was wide awake, and the next, out like a light.

Tonight it's really cold in here and we haven't touched the thermostat. Once that sun goes down so does the warmth in the house. I think it's time to shut my bedroom window that I've kept cracked open in order to get fresh air to sleep better. It's either that or start wearing one of those funny nightcaps to bed like they did in the old days. LOL, my nightwear is getting more and more weird. I used to say that was for the old folks. Well???

My blog seems to get written later and later in the day now. I started off early in the morning and now it's 10:40 P.M. I have to admit I feel better with myself because now I at least make the effort to try to write daily or more often than the past few months.

Tomorrow if it's fit weather to go out in I will try to get over to see my Aunt. I haven't seen her since October and I really miss her, but wouldn't dare go near her while I was down with one thing or another. She certainly doesn't need any strange germs visiting her.

My eyes are starting to cross so will end for now. I hope you all have a great day tomorrow. I pray for no snow. No snow, no snow...

Today Is My Birthday

Today is my birthday and we had plans to go out to dinner or maybe lunch, depending on how we felt. But another knee injury and a pulled back changed our plans. We sat watching funny shows, old ones that have been kicking around. Today seemed to be the perfect time to pull them out and watch them. Laughter seems to make the hurt less.

Hubby felt bad because he thought he ruined my day but to be truthful, I didn't want him trying to walk on that bad leg and it was too cold for me . So it worked out fine. I made us grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch and hubby ate the rest of the chili I made Sunday. Like I said, a nice relaxing day with calls from friends and son in Florida, and beautiful cards. I seem to be content with the little things in life. Hubby has always told me I was a cheap date.

It's late and I wanted to get to bed earlier but thought i would at least try to throw some words on the page before I got too far behind. Nothing exciting that's for sure, but at least an attempt. I'm still trying to recover some of my photos that were lost in my computer crash. I'm borrowing them from here and there and some friends are sending me emails of the ones I sent them. LOL, I guess I should get my camera and go for short drives to catch an interesting picture here and there.

Okay, time for this lady to hit the hay. The cat has already picked her spot and I will have to work my way around her. I have a hard time getting up on the bed because it has two soft foam mattress pads and I seem to be shrinking. We'll have to fix that soon before I slip off the end of the bed and fall on my duff. No wonder why the cat loves to sleep there. Soon she just might end up having the whole bed to herself!

Have a great morning tomorrow and a better afternoon.
