Why

Why is the Halloween Candy already in the supermarkets???

Forbidden Love

I see you there, hidden way in the back. I try not to look, I coyly walk by and catch a glimpse. I know that I shouldn't want you. I have always craved what I can't have. Why do you make me feel this way. I need to stop thinking of you. I need to be strong, you are wrong for me and nothing good can come from a relationship with you. Why are you tempting me..

















What did you guys think I was talking about!!! I didn't cave, I took the package next door and gave to the neighbor kids. I don't have room in my life for a relationship with an Oreo....

Tattoo's

I was reading my usual blogs and was over at Oh That's Gonna Leave a Mark's blog. In her comments she mention she is thinking about getting a tattoo. (go visit her, she is a crack-up).. Anyhoo, I have a dolphin tattoo on my ankle(what was I thinking putting it on the place that has no fat, it hurt like a you know what). I have had it for about 8 years now. I love my tattoo, everytime I look at it I think of my dear friend Rita who passed away 7 years ago. She had been diagnosed for the 3rd time with cancer, and knew she wasn't long for this world. She decided to make a list of all the things she wanted to do before she left us... We went to Disneyland, some people went sky diving with her (not me, too big of a chicken). On her list was getting a Tattoo. I was thinking, hold her hand, pick out a cool design, I said "Hey Rit's I'll do that with ya." Well we get to the tattoo shop and the artist comes up with a design, Rita looks at me and says "What are you getting". I said, "I'm not getting anything, I'm in a support role here." Well she says, "I'm dying of cancer, your getting a tattoo." Well ok then, I'm getting a tattoo. I ended up with a dolphin (don't ask) Well it's not that small and it is blue and stands out like a sore thumb. Not great in the business world, I sometimes have to cover it with a large bandaid.. I wouldn't change it for anything.. Love ya Rita...

Ok who has tattoo's and where and what are they?

View from my porch

After the bad night and the long day, I decided to sit on the front porch with a nice glass of wine and BREATH.. Much better, watched the sun go down, and reminded myself of all the wonderful things I have in my life. I will not feel sorry for myself, and I will continue to enjoy life. Everyone have a great day..

Flak Jacket

The Kid called last night to let me know how his first day of QCT(Qualified Crewman training) went. He was excited, but nervous. He talked about all the cool gear they had received. The minute he started talking about the numerous Flak Jackets he received, I felt the heart start beating faster and I really couldn't think. He went on telling me how he had to swim in them, buddy tow, etc.. I really had a hard time listening. This invoked the dreaded fear and it took everything I had to not breakdown on the phone. When we hung up I broke down, needless to say no sleep for this Mom. How can something that can save his live, bring out my worst fears. I need to work on this, because I will not let this consume me or have it spill over on to The Kid. Well hopefully writing about it will be a release of sorts. Need to gets some caffeine and try and get through the day..

Check out this blog

Came across this blog, from Wesley Morgan, a 19 year old from Princeton. He is reporting from Baghdad and his reports are very interesting.

Life Update

Well I feel good today, I have worked out and ran for a full week. Ok my body doesn't feel that great, can we say OUCH!! Let's say mentally I feel great. I have started the Body For Life program officially today...

I volunteered with a non-profit. I will be doing home visits of young mothers on welfare. Should be interesting... I start Friday evening..

You know when you clean your closets, drawers etc... That feeling you get by being organized.. I did that over the weekend, and it felt great waking up this morning. I don't know why a clean closet makes me feel that way.

Should be a great week..
