Reflections From My Journal….

Posted on April 18, 2011 by

What a day. Must be the wind because my mind keeps going to the strangest places. Life is a journey. Life has a beginning, birth, and an end, death. As we get older we see the end and it flies toward us at tremendous speed while in a strange juxtaposition we slow down and the path seems longer and more tortuous. Our bodies hurt and our minds betray us. But what of our emotions and our hearts. I think our hearts break because of all the loss and emotional turmoil we have suffered, especially in our older years. I think our emotions wear out because of years of use, one thing piled on top of another, and abuse by ourselves and our friends and families. Finally there is just no more room for anything significant and we start to flow over like an overfilled cup. We break down and become shadows of who we use to be. We watch the ones we love leave us one by one until we are the last of our group, waiting, waiting to follow. Life is a journey we have no choice but to take so we hang on for the ride.

The IPad And Me….

Posted on April 17, 2011 by

Hello from my iPad. I am writing my first post from my new iPad 2. My birthday was this month and my husband gave me one…wow! I am still getting to know it and all the cool apps you can get but so far I love it. I am currently using an app called blogsy and it seems to do everything I need it to. Maybe now you will hear from me more often as I am on the go so much. This is pretty easy to use and very cool. So a big shout out “thank you ’73″. Now for my first attempt to insert a photo.

Yay! It worked, I think.

10 Reasons I Might Be A Vampire….

Posted on February 1, 2011 by

Lately I seem to stay up all night more often than not. I’m only averaging 3 hours of sleep a night. I’m beginning to believe my kids are right when they say I must be part vampire. Lets check and see.

How Do You Know If You Are A Vampire



1. Vampires stay up all night……….all the time, my sleep cycle has always been backwards….check


2. Vampires will burn if exposed to the sun……..more than five minutes and I will have blisters…check.


3. They can command you with their voice and eyes ……. Yes I can……(I’m a mommy)…check.


4. They do not cast a reflection….  I try never to look in the mirror if possible because it is scary, so maybe I don’t have a reflection……….check.


5. Vampires transform into another creature……my husband would agree that I do, at least once a month…..check.



6. Vampires promise mind altering sex……check :D



7. Vampires like to bite……only a little, I swear….check.



8. They need blood to survive……..yeah! 8 pints…..check.


9. Vampires can be killed if you drive a stake through their heart…..gruesome but I’m pretty sure I would too….check.



10.Vampires drink the blood of humans……what!…..wait!……no!



Okay, I guess I’m not a vampire. Because I draw the line at drinking blood (even Charlaine Harris’ True-Blood) although I do like my steak rare…hmm. But you have to admit 9 out of 10 is darn close. ha! ha! ha!
