Rambling Stories

  • Alrighty then...

    Sunday, August 31, 2008 | A Rambling story

    Saturday, the sun is shining, the birds are singing, the lawn needs mowing and the pool is waiting! It is supposed to be a glorious long weekend - at least weather wise. Bob's back is bothering him bigtime so Kristen and I decided to "help" by doing the mowing. She mowed and I trimmed. Needless to say we both ran out of steam before the job was finished although she got farther with...

  • Comments from the Couch

    Tuesday, September 2, 2008 | A Rambling story

    Well, I am in my usual spot-the far left corner of the couch.  It's a fairly new couch that already has a permenant indentation of my body.  It's comfy!  I am working from home today.  I was thinking last night that I would wake up this morning and my foot would be back to normal.  This did not happen.  My foot is still pretty swollen and I will be picking my...

    Wednesday, September 10, 2008 | A Rambling story

    Well I guess I over did it yesterday.  I worked a whole day and then went out to eat and to 1 store in the mall.  Needless to say, my foot was already swollen from work but it was really bad by the time I got home and UGH, the other foot was fairly swollen too, which hasn't really happened before!  Well, at least I got some nice blouses for work.  I earned them!  So t...

  • Star Wars, The Clone Wars

    Monday, September 15, 2008 | A Rambling story

    I ventured out of the house again yesterday and took my son to see the Star Wars movie.  It was not my cup of tea but he enjoyed it.  I figured out my problem when I leave the house. 1 trip out leads to other chores.  I started out thinking I was just going to the movies but then I had to go into Old Navy because I was already there and there isn't one near my house. Then I fig...

  • Good Girl Today

    Wednesday, September 17, 2008 | A Rambling story

    I am not sure if the doctor was nice today or the 2 valume I took were working very well. I hope everyone is pround of me.  There was no doctor butt kicking today.  I was too drugged to care!
    I was there for about 2 hours and the actual procedure is a bit of burning sensations and uncomfortable pressure but it really didn't bother me too much.  The procedure was a spinal st...

    Monday, December 29, 2008 | A Rambling story

    I am sitting at my desk staring at a hill of papers AGAIN! Didn't I just take care of this like last week? Yikes, if I find out that someone is feeding the paper monster on my desk I will hang them up by their ankles and tickle them silly! I am also on hold waiting to find out when our heating mattress pad will arrive from being repaired I feel like I have been holding for two days lol. It...

  • Hello Thursday!

    Thursday, February 26, 2009 | A Rambling story

    I woke up at 8 AM today, how did that happen? I've got a bit of running around to do before we leave for our trip Saturday morning. I definitely must stock up on Puffs plus tissues for my poor nose - it threatened to quit, it feels so abused - I can't say I blame it lol. I see the doc this afternoon, I hope she has a magic pill to make me feel all better. The antibiotics that I'm on a...

  • Tomorrow will be sunny and fine................

    Sunday, March 15, 2009 | A Rambling story


    Today is fine and sunny................
    Listening to the long-range weather forecast on the radio and hoping for a wet winter to rehydrate our dry earth made me think about this condition and the similarities between the two.
    When we have barometric lows approaching the air takes on a menacing feel, even the birds, animals and insects know in advance to prepare for bad weather, the ants sudde...
