Just A Yukky Week......And A Life Without Jack.....

First off, I'm happy to see the warmer weather and all the beautiful things blooming....I'm over Winter and I'm sure I'm not alone...But my Spring time kryptonite is in high gear...The Bradford Pears are blooming and I've had a weeks worth of itchy, watery eyes, none stop sneezing and talking like I'm in a drum, Friday and Saturday I never got out of my pajamas.........This has been a long winter for all of us and I am happy to see some sun.....And even the dreaded pollen

But this news was the sour icing on the cake....24 has been cancelled......


For 8 seasons I have secretly been hiding my love (lust) and affection (sorry honey)for someone else, that's included none stop heart-pumping action, three nuclear threats, several attempts at the nations presidents and numerous wounds to my own beloved.......Yes, I'm talking about the man who saves of our country/nation/universe and all in a 24 hour period.....None other than Jack Bauer......


I find out that they've cancelled 24 after 8 seasons and then watch Pamela Anderson twirl her hair and do a lap dance on Dancing with the Stars (Did they scrap the bottom of the barrel with her)............And yes, I'm sorry, But I'm over the average mom Kate Goselin too.......



Maybe I'm just bitter about no more Jack, what will us 24 addicts do......What a thrill ride Monday nights have been...

Anybody that watches 24 can quote something from the show...This is one of my Jack favorites..



Jack Bauer: "You probably don't think I could force this towel down your throat, but trust me I can. All the way. Except that I'd hold on to this little bit at the end. When your stomach starts to digest the towel, I pull it out. Taking your stomach lining with it...Most people take about a week to die, it's very painful"...

Photography School........

Can I tell you again how much I love Photography School.....The only bad thing is, everything is a photo op... Like putting my daughter in a blooming tree full of bees...Thank you my love...
And taking my granddaughter outside to the train tracks on a freezing cold day in the rain...All it cost me (that day) was a happy meal....
I'll gladly take comments, critiquing, or any tips for improvement.....

Spring.......

"No matter how long the winter, Spring is sure to follow."

~Proverb

With this past winter, I'll even welcome the pollen and allergies

An Irish Blessing....

May you always have walls for the wind,

A roof for the rain, Tea beside the fire,

Laughter to cheer you, Those you love near you,

And all your heart might desire.

Happy St. Paddy's Day

Another Year Older....And Mostly Ramblings.......

Monday morning I got dressed, put on an adorable and colorful pair of socks that my daughter bought me that said, " It's my birthday today, I'm 29 again"......It was my birthday, I was not 29.....But that was sweet and I think I'll wear them again next year. ....I also think that next year I'll pretend that I was born on leap year....
That's all I'll say about the age thing....

It was a beautiful day, no coat needed and short sleeves worked out perfectly...
I spent the afternoon with my daughter and had a wonderful time (I always do...I really like this girl), we laughed (mostly at me) and had a great lunch at one of our favorites... Douceur de France.....I finished my lunch off with this.....And YES....It was worth it!!!!

We finished the night eating supper at Poppy's, a great Cuban restaurant...


This year has made me think about life differently, and question a few things...Am I to old to start new adventures, should I stick with what I know...Some things are certain


I've got to stop being shocked every time I pluck enough gray hairs from my eyebrows and head to make a toupee....(This happens way too often, and each time I am in awe).


At what point did baby oil and iodine sound like the perfect tanning oil to use while laying directly under the ozone layer on a shinny silver blanket called Even-Up...(If anyone remembers these tanning blankets, chances are you were using the same lotion as me..) This year there will be a giant increase in SPF




Why do I keep buying wrinkle creams that swear to make you look ten years younger, when what I really need is plaster of Paris...



When will I realize that I'll never be a size 6......Ever...



And jeans that make your bottom look smaller, don't do anything for your thighs....

There will always be relationships that I look back on....And throw up a little in my mouth when I think about them...(Still thinking and a little nausea's )

There are friends I never want to be without...The ones you know have your back no matter what...The ones that know every little stinking detail about you....And still they love

And the friends I miss...The ones that I've lost touch with and wonder how it happened...

And last but not least......Someone my age cannot eat Cuban at 8:30 at night......No way, No How..

Thankful and Blessed for another year of Life

News Flash In The Neighborhood...Or Things Georgians Don't See Everyday...

A dirty stranger was spotted walking through our neighborhood Wednesday morning, causing fear and panic among our peaceful surrounding's....

Upon further investigation, no authorities were needed...It seemed the stranger was the authorities

(Yes this is silly, I am aware of this....But I happen to find a 7 foot snowman in the middle of the street in my neighborhood hilarious)

This day is coming.....

It's the 2nd of March and Georgia woke up to snow....Beautiful snowflakes....To those of you who have had record breaking snow this winter I apologize for this.....But this is new for us...And we are hypnotized by it's beauty (truthfully, the state shuts down for a week at the mention of flurries, no bread or milk can be found for miles)....

Anyway, my point of this post was this.....It's March and those of us who dread "that time of year"T when we start looking for the perfect summer bathing suit ...the one that will make us look younger, thinner and more beautiful by the pool, lake or beach, is fast approaching....I have come to realize one thing.....I demand way too much out of a small piece of spandex......And I know this day is coming, when all I'll need is this..........

Thanks Liz....This picture not only made me smile but put me in a deep depression....
