Entry for Friday the 13th

I couldn't let today go by without some sort of recognition.  This has turned out to be a great day.   The weather has been beautiful and me and hubby spent the afternoon at the river.  Him fishing and me reading an Ann Rule book.   It was so quiet and relaxing.  All the fishing yahoo's from the summer are gone and we had the whole place to ourselves.   After catching and losing a trout Harry proceeded to lose the end of his rod so home we went.  Just killing time here waiting for someone to show up and chat with.  Contemplating making a drink.  I wish I had the liquor cabinet our resident wino has lol..... 

Happy Weekend to any and all that read this

Entry for October 11, 2006

Well I guess its about time I added a new blog entry.   I just haven't felt the energy or had the time to give it proper thought. 

Em said I had to write something so here I am trying to think of an amusing story after a somewhat non-amusing weekend.  

 Family what can I say you can't live with them and you can't visit with them......  One with think with someone close to dying they would become a nicer person.  I for one would want to be remembered with fondness.  I'm not sure if all of you know my sister is dying of in-operable lung cancer.  We have never really gotten along inspite of being only 15 months apart.   I have been feeling a little guilty about not spending enough of her last days with her, but I only can take so much abuse.  Having spent the  greater part of the Canadian Turkey weekend with my family I am ready to push her closer to the end.  Does this make me a bad person?   People say you have to have patience, well I always thought I had plenty but obviously I don't.  Well enough ranting I better come back when I am in a better mood....

Entry for September 18, 2006

Well its definitely cold and wet here this morning.  I guess I will drive the kids to school today.  We have been able to walk since school started.   I hate driving to the schools,  there is so much traffic.  I see people driving that live right next to the school practically.  I would think it would be more work getting in your car starting it up and driving for 2 minutes.   The boys school is close enough to walk in the rain but Nevada's school is a 20 minute walk on the best of days.  The schools here weren't designed and built for people driving either.  The conjestion in the drop off areas are terrible.  There also is barely no onsite parking.  People at the elementary park down the side of the road blocking the pedestrian traffic.  Last year  I took my digital camera and took pictures of everyone blocking the sidewalk.   I kept taking pictures untill they all drove away and parked farther down the street.  What is this teaching kids?  Lazyness is what.  Park as close as you can to the door so you don' t have to walk an extra foot.  Be damned if you are going to make it safer for the kids to walk home...

Are you frugal, or stingy?

Having to defend myself on numerous occasions I decided to do a little research.  Well actually I just happened to see this on the front of MSN today and it caught my thrifty little eye.
