Personally Speaking
I’m a Happy Woman
It’s been a very busy few days for me. On Friday we went out of town to take advantage of a great sale on clothes at a store my daughter and I discovered last month when we were in Ft. Collins. Hubs came along this time so we could take him to Olive [...]

Sleepy Thoughts
Oh man, I am so tired. I’m on my way to bed as soon as I post this. It’s been a busy time — still. Yesterday my daughter started her new High School program (homeschool). It is SO awesome! This is the first year Insight Schools have been in Colorado. [...]

Busy Week!
Hi everyone. Sorry it’s been a whole week since I last posted, but I’ve been pretty busy the last few days. Let’s see, where shall I begin …..?
I’ll start with last Sunday, when I got to babysit my perfectly perfect grandson for about six hours! Callie went with me and we had [...]
So Whatever Happened to That?
OK, first and foremost, today is my beautiful angel’s 16th BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MY SWEET GIRL!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!
Oh man, where did those 16 years go???? Wow. Simply unbelievable!
Now for something that’s been stuck in my craw since last night. Let me preface it first by saying that when I was a kid, neighbors [...]
The Trip
I don’t know that you’d really be interested in ALL the details of our trip, so I’ll just give you the highlights.
When we first arrived we found an Olive Garden and had a late lunch. You may be surprised to know that none of us (Callie, her friends Zach and Tesla, [...]
We’re Home
Hi everyone. My daughter and I returned safely home last night around 8:00PM. We had a really great time and managed to work in more than a few things over two days’ time. Unfortunately, it left dear old mom exhausted. I was pretty spent all day today.
I [...]
Running Away
I’m going to be running away with my daughter and two of her friends tomorrow. We won’t be back until Saturday night, so I won’t be doing any posting or card dropping until probably Sunday. I promise I’ll get caught up once I’m back home.
I’m REALLY looking forward to getting away for a [...]
Trying to Stay Positive
I’m starting to feel a little dejected, as not ONE person since the woman yesterday, nor one organization or newspaper who was emailed Cheyenne’s story and plea for help has contacted me. No one. My Legal Eagle called last night and we had a really good conversation, during which she assured me she [...]

I Learned Some Very Interesting Information!
I received a phone call today from one of the people to whom Deb sent that email. It was from a gal with whom I had worked at a bank years and years ago and who I knew as having a different last name. Turns out she’s now a County Commissioner and guess [...]

Our Amazing Legal Eagle Angel!
I know I’ve already told you how much the Cat Blogosphere has helped me with this whole nightmare of Cheyenne being accused of attacking and killing a cat and biting a human, but it absolutely bears repeating again, because guess what? My angel Deb happens to be a paralegal and took all the information [...]

How Do You Define It?
Happiness. How do you define it? Not in a generic way, but a personal way. A very personal way.
What does or would it take for you to feel truly happy. Is happiness contentment? Fulfillment? Acceptance? Validation? Professional success? Family success? Popularity? Lots of money? [...]
A Rescue and Discoveries
When I was growing up we had neighbors on both sides, across the street, down the street and on the NEXT street who were there forever. They all had kids and we all grew up together. It was really wonderful. You don’t find that much anymore. We’re lucky enough, though, to [...]

Roller Coaster Days
Wow, the last four days have been like a roller coaster; happy, awesome, scary and painful.
It all began late morning on Saturday. My oldest son called and said he had just bought a new motorcycle. I told him to come over with it as soon as he could so I could see it, [...]
Too Damn Hot!
Oh man, I have had such a busy week! I had relation in town and my daughter had a haircut and I had to go grocery shopping and I went to get a copy of my daughter’s birth certificate for school and all kinds of stuff! LOL Speaking of school, the local newspaper [...]

Sharing the Love
Current Mood: HappyI was honored a few days ago by Corrina, my blog friend from My Random Blog, who bestowed upon me a beautiful award originally created by Crystal from Memoirs of a Mommy in honor of the organ donor who saved her little son Noah’s life. The love has been shared and passed [...]

Random Acts of Kindness
I was reading our local paper online today, as I usually do, when my eye caught the title of a letter to the editor. It read “Drive-through act of kindness recognized”. Drive-through act of kindness? Huh? So I kept reading. It was from a woman here in town who described [...]

Lake McConaughy
Current Mood: HappyA week ago we went to Lake McConaughy in Nebraska for the day. I snapped a few pics (not too many; I was busy sunning myself lol) and thought I’d share them with you. It’s really a gorgeous lake and a fun place to be. If you ever get the [...]

Harrowing Tales
I spoke with my lifelong friend on Friday — thankfully. You see, she lives in Greeley and two of her grown daughters and their families and her own mother all live in Windsor, where the tornado was on Thursday, the 22nd. I’d been trying to get a hold of her since Thursday and was getting very worried when it took so long to reach her. When I finally spoke to her, I listened to a very harrowing story, indeed.
