Tis The Season For Special Things..........

"When angels visit us, we do not hear the rustle of wings, nor the feathery touch like the breast of a dove; but we know their presence by the love they create in our hearts".

It's official, the holiday's are here whether we want them to be or not....I was wondering if you have something special you put out every year...Something that really tells you Christmas is here....For me it's this beautiful little angel....She has stood watch over many family Christmases and was my parents first tree topper.....I confiscated this graceful lady many years ago and she sits in a corner shelf all year, but I know it's Christmas when I bring her out....Her silk is worn and her hair is a little tattered, but to me she is still beautiful and graceful and she let's me know, "It's that most wonderful time of year"....

What's your special something...

Hazy and Painful Blogging....

Today, I set in a drug filled haze...My dental insurance finally agreed that having a cracked wisdom tooth with an exposed nerve removed, was not.....COSMETIC......Can you believe this was even an argument......I have been suffering for over two months...Yesterday they surprised me with the "Let's just pull them all while were here", because of another being impacted....I will tell you, I am a number one fan of versed, fentanyl and a little diprivan tossed in for fun....However, I'm not about fun today....My face looks like a chipmunk and all I have managed to get down is a half a cup of applesauce.......And tomorrow is Thanksgiving....No feast for me, I'll do good to eat some mashed potatoes....So, for the next few days I'll sit/lay back and take my painkillers and know that the evil tooth that has been torturing me for months is gone....So to all of you, I hope you have a great Thanksgiving... and eat a little extra for me....

This and That..............

I have seven drafts saved that I've tried to post, and still I haven't been able to get anything out...Nothing inspires me anymore...It seems my mind is somewhere else..So many things have happened in the past six months and most of the time I walk around in a daze.....This is where it would be nice to live on a farm, I could at least have a picture of a cow to post....I could write about the drawer full of wrinkle creams I noticed this morning while putting on my make-up.... six different kinds...Everything from Oil of Olay to something I can't pronounce, but judging by my reflection, I should demand a refund....Or how I've just given up and let the squirrel's win (sometimes putting a little extra out just for them).....
The three enormous trees are still laying in the creek, the county came out and took pictures but that was all...I guess they were serious when they said we would have to use our crane to get them out....However,we are the average two car family...Not two car and a crane family...So as far as I'm concerned, the eye sore can stay there....Maybe I'll plant some flowers around in the spring...Who knows.....
Winter is coming and my parents are still without a place to live, they've finally gotten the help of an attorney...Hopefully one who wont be afraid of a major gas company....It's very sad to see them the way they are, the stress of it all has really taken it's toll...My Daddy was diagnosed with early stages Alzheimer's in the Spring, this has really caused his condition to worsen...Everything from getting lost while in the mountains....His Mountains....To forgetting a
conversation between he and I a few days earlier...Reminders of things yet to come...I do wonder if there will be a day when my Daddy will look into my eyes and not see me....Hopefully this situation can get solved quickly and they can get back to some sort of a normal life...and the stress level for all of us can ease up...
It will be hard to watch them destroy the home of my Grandparents and the place I grew up, but to have my parents somewhere safe and this mess over with,will be worth it....And hopefully ease the stress from all of us....
Longing for happier days, but knowing they are ahead,

Still Hanging On.......

Today was a beautiful fall day and I spent it outside working in the yard....I was looking at some of my flowers that are still hanging on, despite the heavy frost we had the other night.....Thought I would share a few with you....

My Hydrangea bush has been blooming since early spring, and it's still full of flowers...

These adorable little Cosmos are still around, and how lucky was I to catch this little bee....

My Mums on my porch looked happy today...

And this Mushroom I took especially for Andora....I thought of her when I saw it....

Pain............

This has been a tough week for me...First thing Monday morning I started out at my dentist office....Some lady sitting in the waiting room looked over at me nervously said ,"Who's your doctor?, Mines so in so, I'm in here all the time"...And said it about that fast...I thought to myself, the chairs are comfortable and my dentist is young and attractive, but Mr. Brad Pitt himself could be drilling on a tooth and I wouldn't care if I had lipstick or deodorant on...and anyone who's that obsessed with their dentist needs more help than Jerry Springer, Oprah or any government facility can give them.....All I do know is, I went in for some nerve pain in a tooth...Three hours later, I come out with a filling and a crown and an appointment to see an Oral Surgeon........

Not sure if I'm suffering from bloggers block, brain freeze or brain dead, I might even blame it on the full moon, I'm not sure which one, like I said, such a odd week for me and for anyone reading this mess....I apologize..... I've been sitting and starring out into the crisp fall air contemplating life and all the things of my past that still haunt me....Every one of us has a few skeleton's in our closet... But not me, I am the proud owner of a small cemetery.....One day I'm gonna write a book, I promise you, it would be a best seller..Humor, Drama, Trauma, Heartwarming and all with a hint of sarcasm (Just like Little House on the Prairie, but with electricity)....No, on second thought nobody would buy a book from someone with a name like Angie Queen, I could always change it to Alexandra Steele, the lady from the weather channel....That's a great name...A mix between a author and a porn star......You see what fall does to me... Others enjoy the changing seasons and the beautiful colors with happiness...while I sit and have delusions of grandeur and wonder if it's to late in life for me to remarry someone with better dental insurance...After all, what's love when you have a impacted wisdom tooth and your dental insurance sucks... "Love is a many splendored thing", but pain will make insane.....It sounds like I'm already there.............
