Haven't written anything in a while so here goes.  Halloween was yesterday, and we threw  a party.  It was fun but I am so tierd.  It is also my son's b-day today so we combined the two events into one.  So I had kids and adults running around my house last night, but it was a lot of fun.  And to top it all off, we have unit inspections here at our duplex's today, and you know what, my house is still a mess and I DON"T CARE!!!!! LOL  I am going to a friends house to watch a movie and chill out on this cold November day.  That's all I have for now see ya real soon

There are so many great holidays it is so hard to choose.  Let's see..........I would say that Thanksgiving is my favorite.  You have the big meal with the family and everyone gets together, and you don't have all the stress about if everyone is going to like the present you got them.  I think that there is to much emphasis on the gifts on Chirstmas and not enough on the meaning of the actual holiday.   The togetherness of the family and friends on Thanksgiving makes it my favorite Holiday of them all.

My favorite time of year is definitely the fall.  At least it was when I lived in Michigan.  There is nothing more beautiful than Michigan in the fall.  The amber colors, the animals scurrying around storing food for the winter.  The cooler crisp air.  Now that I live in Texas it is not the same though.  There really is no change of seasons here sometimes it 90 degrees on Christmas Day, so I really miss the seasonal changes.  It is hard to have Christmas spirit when it is 90.  LOL

Was high school a positive or a negative experience for you?  High school was a great time for me with friends that I thought would be there forever.  That is the only thing that saddens me now is all the great friends that I had in high school I never see or here from.  But that is understandable, I grew up in Michigan and now live in Texas.  But that is not what separated us.  All my close girlfriends got married or had kids right after high school, but not me.  I was ready for an adventure and took off right after graduation for the open road.  I went to Northern Michigan then from there to Naugatuck, Pennsylvania.  (Not sure if that is spelled right).  Was only there for two days, long enough to meet some great people who got me extremely drunk on shots trying to keep me there longer LOL.  From there I ended up in Newport News, VA.  Stayed there for a while but always made my way to D.C. and to Nags Heads N.C. for "road trips" And to make a even longer story shorter I eventually ended in TX.  Of course now I have kids of my own, and am pretty settled here (Just waiting for the kids to move out now lol so I can start all over again).  So you can see why I have not heard from any of my Friends from high school.  But that still does not keep me from hearing an old song and having a great memory from those great and lazy days of high school.  And I still wonder where and what my good friends are up to and I pray that they all are ok and have great lives.  And who knows?  Maybe someday we will all meet again on this great road of life.   But until then I still have all the memories.  ROCK ON class of 87.

 

When it gets too HOT in the summer, I stay cool by... Hanging out with my kids.  I recently noticed that kids just do not care how hot it is, they can stay at the pool all day long, as long they have food and drinks.  So anyway I have found that if you just try to enjoy being outside and not really think about it, you really don't notice the heat.  And in the process I have gotten a decent tan and spent a lot of quality time with my two kids.

In a crowded city at a crowded bus stop, a beautiful young woman was waiting
for the bus. Dressed up for work, she was wearing a very tight mini skirt.

As the bus rolled up and it became her turn to get on the bus, she became
aware that her skirt was too tight to allow her leg to come up to the height
of the bus's first step. So, slightly embarrassed and with a quick smile to
the bus driver, she reached behind her and unzipped her skirt a little,
thinking that this would give her
enough slack to raise her leg.

Again she tried to make the step onto the bus only to discover that she
still could not make the step.

So, a little more embarrassed, she once again reached behind her and
unzipped her skirt a little more. And for a second time, she attempted the
step.

Once again, much to her disgust, she could not raise her leg because of the
tight skirt. With a coy little smile to the driver, she again unzipped the
offending skirt to give a little more slack, and again was unable to make
the step.

About this time, the big Texan that was behind her in the line, picked her
up easily from the waist and placed her lightly on the step of the bus.

Well, she went ballistic, and turned on the would-be hero, screeching at him
"How dare you touch my body!! I don't even know who you are!!"

At this, the Texan drawled, "Well ma'am, normally, I would agree with you,
but after you unzipped my fly three times, I kinda figured we was friends."

What were the top stories of the day when you made your big arrival on the scene?  Oh, and when was that?  (Assuming it's not a secret!) I was born on February 7, 1969.  I don't now what was happening on the exact date of my birth but I do know a few interesting facts about the year I was born. Gaddafi became the Libiyan leader in 1969.  Also Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon.  The first trial flights of the Concorde, the Anglo-French supersonic airliner were done in 1969.  And my personal favorite is it was the year of Woodstock.  Of course I was too young to go that year but I did go to the 25th anniversary of Woodstock and it was GREAT!!!!!!  I do plan on going to the 50th reunion too and hopefully take my son with me who will be 18 that year.  We will see.

If you would like to see what was happening in the year you were born check out this website:  Fun4birthdays.com.  It will also tell you famous people born on your birthday, and fun trivia about birthdays too.  It is a interesting site.

What one question would you like the answer to if you could peer into the future?

 If I had a crystal ball I don't know if I would use it.  I guess I would want to know how my kids turn out, but wouldn't that take all the fun out of life if you always know what is going to happen???  If you knew what was going to happen do you really think that you would not do things that would change your life, and if you did that how do you know that you would not change things in a way that would take you down a different life path.  Could you imagine changing a decision and not meeting your soul mate, or not having one of your kids???  I think I'm better off not knowing.
