Time slips away from me so easily these days. It's hard to believe that today is the 22nd day of January. Weren't we just celebrating Christmas, yesterday? Almost a month ago, now...but there is an upside of this...for me, anyway. Won't be long now before the new season of Survivor: Heros vs Villians starts. I believe it begins on Feburary 11. Can't wait! I absolutely love this show, no matter how corny I sound or may be.
We have a little ice this morning, in the form of freezing drizzle. School was cancelled and I'm sure traffic was a headache for all commuters, trying to get wherever they needed to be. Cancelling school was a headache for me! Like my mom always used to say, though... I'm "old enough for my wants not to hurt" me.
Til next time...blessings!

30 yrs. young...
No...not me. Oh, what I would do if I were 30 again!? I'm speaking of my niece. She turned 30 yesterday. We had a lil gathering for her at 'home' in NC, on Sunday. It was a good time, great fellowship and good food! I got to spend some time with my number one lil man, Bryson who is just before being 8 months old. He's at a funny stage right now...where everything he does amuses us all. We just ooh and aah all over him like a bunch of crazy people. But, that's just the way my family rolls...but, if you're not from this bloodline, I'm sure if you were watching from a distance, you'd wonder if all our papers were in order!(for admission to the crazy farm)
So, even though I saw her and celebrated with her, I'd just like to say, Happy Birthday, Nicole...after all, you only turn 30 once! Hope you have many, many more and I'm around to celebrate each and every one of them!
Til next time...blessings!

More snow on the way...
After 14 inches of snowfall just two short weeks ago, mother nature is raring to go again. We're not expecting anything like that last storm...only a coating to 2 inches, but still...we live in an area that usually is lucky to see an inch a year! Not to mention, we're in the midst of an artic freeze...not above freezing during the day and down in the low teens at night. Even I...you know, the one who breaks out in a sweat if someone breathes...has had a chill or two.
Speaking of cold and hot.....
There is a constant disagreement in my house over the thermostat setting. I'm a firm believer in setting it at a certain degree and then..."leave it alone"! DH, on the other hand, is forever freezing and 'bumping it up a notch', as he calls it. He walks by and bumps it up...I walk behind him and bump it down! I have pleaded w/ him to put on layers, as I have taken off all I can, w/o being obscene in front of the teenager! Nor, would I want either of them to laugh themselves into a tizzy! Doesn't do a bit of good, though. So, I don't expect to be held responsible if either of them fall over dead, laughing..at all my wrinkles and rolls!...I'm just saying!
Til next time, blessings!

A day of firsts...
Today is the first day of January...the first day of the new year, 2010. It is the first day of a new decade, if you will. For those of you who make new year resolutions, today would mark the first day of the start of those resolutions. I don't 'do' resolutions. My philosophy is "don't make'm...can't break'm"! In the past, I don't remember ever keeping a resolution and seeing it through. Maybe I'm weak. (actually, I think my will power meter is BROKEN!) Maybe I'm not traditional in my thinking or maybe I just don't get caught up in all the hype of a NEW year. However...this year could be an exception.
I have loved this blog from the very first key that I typed...now, almost a year ago. I admit, I got sidetracked with life's little inconveniences over the past 2 months. Well, some were small...others appeared huge, at the time...but, whatever the size of the stepping stones, they've led me back here. It all started as a suggestion that came from one of my physicians. He recommended daily journaling as a way of coping with living with FMS. He meant for me to write in a diary or journal, quietly away from the world. And I did. For a few months, anyway. That was before I discovered that I didn't want to sulk, pout, hurt, ache or feel REALLY GOOD, quietly. I wanted to try living out loud, or at least, in the hopes of my words reaching, maybe someone else, who might be experiencing the same pain...that invisible kind. Because that's what Fibromyalgia is...invisible! To the average person, I look well and healthy. You cannot see my illness. But, believe me...it's there. I live with the pain and fatigue every , single day.
I'm back to blog again...maybe not every day but certainly much more often than I have been. It's not my new year's resolution. It's a promise I've made to myself to help my body and my mind cope in an uncertain time...with that being said, I'd like to make a toast...(lifting my glass of coca cola)...May this new year...the first day of a new decade, hold many special blessings in our lives and may we find much joy in every day! Happy New Year!!
