another posting

I just had to say seriously, check out my granddaughter over there (fyi she's my 'step'daughters little girl. I'm 8 years younger than my husband, my stepdaughter J is only 14 years older than me!that's how I'm a grandma since I'm 38!). I mean, really, how can I whine and be depressed when she's in my life?

4 am snow

Husband got up at 4:00 to go hunting. He thought he'd gotten the car/monterro jumped. But it wouldn't start. He got me up to ask him to give him a lift to his buddy's house so I'd have a running vehicle here. As I layed there trying to figure out how to get out of it , err I mean wake up, I started remembering a dream I was having about going on a cruise. It was funny. Then I started having craft visions of some items made of felt! They're going to be cute if I can get what's on my brain to come out my hands. I'm going to try to sketch them so I don't forget.

Dog was crying to go out so I took him quickly. It was snowing! big beautiful fluffy flakes. I smiled up at God and did a little spinny twirl. It only lasted 15 minutes or so though.
And then Husband got the montero started so off he went and here I am! At 4:38 am. I'll probably snooze a bit and pray for snow and safe travels for my Husband.

I probably shouldn't have

but I just at a double cheesburger from Mcdonalds. psst it was really good!

washing it down w/ a martini! hey, it's Saturday night, I'm allowed!

No snow here yet :( but soon, I'm sure. Last blizzard in 2007 I got pregnant. I later miscarried but I still have a soft spot for blizzards and the coziness!
And am excited about this blog I just found: http://notesfromthefrugaltrenches.com/

I worked today for about 7 hours today, then went to leave to return a book to the library that was due today. My car wouldn't start :( really bummed about that. I think it's the starter, Husband thinks it's just the battery. Let's hope he's right! And my library book is now overdue!! OH no. I love the library. We had bookmobiles when I was a kid. A big RV type vehicle filled w/ books that drove out to remote areas (we weren't that remote but in the late 70's early 80's I guess it kind of was). The man who drove it was kind of mean, I was really afraid of him. I'd run in grab what looked good and try to get out without making eye contact. I lived in fear of overdue books now.

Until tomorrow.

Friday

I wonder why they call it 'black' Friday? I should google that.
Husband is out hunting and I'm glad, he loves it and it gives him a chance to get out and about.
Enjoying leftover comfort food like my baked mac and cheese.
it's pretty sunny here in Indiana, very November weather pretty much, which is nice. I do love winter. I love a good snow.

Thanksgiving 2008

First, I cannot even believe this wonderful woman left me such a kind wonderfull comment! Thank you Elizabeth.
Sooo, today is Thanksgiving. We had my stepdaguthers and their husbands, and Madison my almost 2 year old Granddaughter for dinner. We had so much food. Husband was up at 5 am, and in fact he did most of the cooking. It wasn't anything fancy, but it was wonderful. Lots of laughing and eating and just being mellow. I hated missing going to my folks in Seymour, IN. But just really felt called to stay here and have the kids here. And I'll see my parents and most of my sisters and one of my brothers on Dec 7. My nephew is going into the Air Force and it's a kind of going away party for him.

I'll be working all weekend. I'm glad for the work, but as always wish I could take some time off. I work from home so it's nice not to be out. I also was inspired by Elizabeths blog mentioned above and her hearts. I made one, kind of simple but it felt good, you know? I'll post pictures soon. I'm working on another but can't quite get the lettering right.
As far as the weight, just hanging in there. Not drinking as much has helped, not just the weight but my depression. Money is so tight, as usual. More than usual actually. Gods teaching me something as He always does. Not sure what? Just perserverence. ahh.

Hope you all had a good Thanksgiving!

really? Really?

Barack? Really? Just because he's not white people think he can walk on water or something? Despite that fact that he can't/won't produce a birth certificate, despite the fact that William Ayers bombed, among other places, the Pentagon, despite all that people really thought he was the best for the job? Really? Oh puh-lease. I will so be laughing and doing the I told you so dance a year from now when everyone's life is down the toilet.
whatever.
