I haven't posted in a while, have some time before going to work. Got my workout in early and already had breakfast. I need to start eating something before I go, so I won't get the shakes before I get through.

Going to another concert Friday night, Dirks Bentley again. Rod Stewart is going to be at Altel Friday night too. I will be in Fayettaville to see Deirks and Jason Aldean. It will be fun, I am going with my oldest daughter and some friends.

We got a good rain last night, sometimes very hard, it rained enough that my toliets won't flush. My Iris's are in full bloom and it always rains and messes them up, my blue ones are on the ground this morning. Its almost 8:10 so I better go to work.

Thirty eight degrees this morning at 5:00. Pretty cool considering we have been having 80 degrees tempts. I have considered turning on the a/c, we had a fire in the wood stove last night! I have several tender flowers up that I may have to cover, my peonies are loaded with blooms. We don't have garen out, husband set out a few onions, they should be alright. Gotta go, See ya!

April 1, 2007

I cannot beleive that its already April. The older I get the faster time goes by. It is a beautiful day, the sun is shining and it is not very warm. The night was cool and I slept very well.

I got my 6 hours in yesterday that I have to have to continue being an x-ray tech. I have a limited license. I have been doing this since 1983, sometimes I think it is time to retire, but I don't have a retirement plan. So I guess I will wait for a while. Some days I don't think I can though gets a little rough.

I walked the Bona Dea Trail this morning, 3 1/2 miles took me about 1 hour 20 minutes. I didn't walk very fast, I have short legs and they get really tired. Ha! I have been working out daily for the past month, I was 154 when I started, I gained back up to 162 pounds. The guy at the fitness place told me not to eat after 8:00 pm. Don't eat pasta, bread or potatoes in the evening, I love potatoes. Husband does not eat many veggies, corn,peas, squash if you fry it to a crisp. He will eat salad if he has old south dressing to go with it. Anyway the scales say 156 this morning so maybe he is right and also to drink lots of water. I am going to try it for a while, I don't eat that much pasta, but I eat a lot of potatoes, mashed, fried and baked.

I wish the wind would stop blowing, I am afraid to put up my green house. The wind will tear it up. I need to come up with something stronger to cover it with. I set my seedling outside for a couple of hours today. I think tomorrow is going to be cooler and I am working too.

I am going to see Deirks Bentley Saturday night in Little Rock, I joined his fan club and I got a back stage pass. I have two more tickets purchased, Deirks is going to be in Fayetteville, the end of April and Keith Urban the end of June. They are both on Friday, so I hope I can take off early. Keith is in Memphis at the Fedx Forum. I am spending my vacation in June in Nashville for Cma Festival. I need to quick going so much after these are over.

I have to go to Rogers for my ACRRT classes, I have to have 6 hours every year, so I can do x-rays. I hate these classes its always the same thing over and over again.

I am still working out, it is rough starting back, I am sore, so very sore. I will have to pay Friday, I only have two more visits that are free. I will have to get serious about this exercise. I am supposed to get 30 minutes of walking or some kind of movement. Supposed to help my sugar.

The last day of February 07, as I get older time sure flies. My day is gone very quick when I am at home, but drags by at work, maybe I should find another job. Who will hire an old lady in my field when there are so many younger ones trying for jobs. I would like something else, I really don't do much at work some days, but others when you cram 20 people into two hours, my poor hips were killing me when I left work. Doc was tired too. Sometimes I think my other boss is trying to prove her point, she is Doc's wife and wants him to retire, so she is trying to show him he can't keep up anymore, he was dragging Monday when we left.

Better go, time for my shower, its already 6:44.

Today is youngest grandson's birthday. Nineteen years today, I am getting older by the minute.
He was such a honary little toot, wouldn't do what you told him to do, always an argument, but he is a good boy now. Going to be a dad in June, I think they said the 17th, I am hoping for a healthy baby, I would like to have another granddaughter.

We kept our great grandchildren yesterday afternoon, it was very enjoyable. Ethan wanted to water the flowers, he is 3 1/2 and Adison is 6 months, she always has a smile and such a good baby. Grandma was pooped. I did not have any trouble sleeping last night and my arms are a little sore Today.

We had beautiful weather today, I set out on the patio in the sun for a little while. Miss Kitty went out for a while too, I think she was enjoying the nice weather. We have had some really cold weather here lately, our winters are usually mild, this winter we have had some cold weather.

February 15. 2007

I went to bed at 10:00 last night, so I am awake early this morning, I woke up before the alarm went off. I exercised Tuesday and now I have a sore foot. I went through the whole summer with plantar facitis this summer in my right foot, now the top of my left foot is sore on top right in the bend of the ankle. I put ice on it but that seemed to make it worse. My brother said it is because I am diabetic that my feet hurt. I worked out on the elipitical walker my favorite machine. I pulled a muscle in one of my calves on the tread mill one time, just walking. Maybe I just need to do my yoga. I am going to work though, don't get paid if I am not there.

My coffee sure taste good, I am a star bucks breakfast blend person.

We have a little snow on the roof tops this morning. Snow on my patio table, 24 degrees I will have to wear my coat. I usually just wear a light jacket, coats get in my way.

February 13, 2007

Tomorrow is Valentines Day, fix husband bq baby back ribs for supper tonight. He bought me dinner Sunday night at Western Sizzlin one of my favorite places to eat. Sirlion tips with peppers and onions and a big baked potato. Gotta go House is on.

February 12, 2007

It started rainning again today. We seemed to having a lot of rain. I wish it would save some of the rain for this summer when its so hot. Doc, was outside this morning, he said smell, it smells like spring. not sure if I could smell spring, it sure is wet. We could still get some more ice and snow, hope not though.

February 7, 2007

The day is starting out foggy, supposed to be cooler. Yesterday was a beautiful day. I thought about getting out and going for a walk, I thought about it. The house was very warm, Miss Kitty and I were lazy, she slept and I watched tv.

January 31, 2007

See if I can't get the right year on my blog title. We got snow today, husband came and picked me up from work. Left my car at work, hope the wheels are still on in the morning. The main roads are slick, they said the interstate is really slick. I might get a snow day tommorrow, maybe not.

January 30, 2007

I survied another weekend attending a chiropractic seminar. I wish I could use that stuff for my mary kay business, I guess I could, I should try for the 5 year plan. The meetings are not bad, its the staff meeting we have when we get back, Doc wants to know what kind of notes we got and I am not good at taking notes. So I get stressed out, today was not too bad though. This guy Keith Maul is a good speaker, he travels all over the United States doing Chiropractic Seminar.
I have enjoyed my afternoon off, I made cookies and am baking a loaf of bread for toast. Have my chicken soaking in some salt water, fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy for supper. I have some squash in the fridg, I will steam it or stir fry. Not sure.

January 23, 2007

They are getting ready to start messing things up. They are going to widen our road, they are taking it from our side. It is going to be so messy when it rains and stuff. There were will be a lot more traffic, I think I want to move.

January 14, 2007

Its raining again, I don't mind the rain most of the time, it sure messes up my sewer. Its annoying when you can't take a dump in your own home, you have to go else where. I guess I shouldn't complain, some people are getting water in their homes. They talk like we may have ice tomorrow. There should be something we can do about it though. My husband is bored, he can't get outside and do anything, so he decided to take a nap. The ground is soaked. They have about 2 inches of ice in Oklahoma.
I have cleaned and done some laundry. Clean sheets back on the bed, thinking about what I can have for supper. Even Miss Kitty is restless.
I think a trip to Wal-Mart is a good idea, get me out for a while. I still have to make those snacks I wanted to make. (Apricot-Walnut Cereal Bars)

January 2, 2007

Did not get much done yesterday, I need to do a lot today, have to go back to work tomorrow. I have so much stuff. I need a storeage building for my stuff. We have two, husband has them all full of his stuff.The back bedroom is still piled up and down the hall way. This room has little piles all over the place that I haven't decided what to do with. I have to go pay for the rest of the work I had done and talk about them paying for my dishwasher that tore up when they moved it out. It was working before, I have never had to deal with this problem before.
I counted all my loose change last night, I have $80.00 to take to OK next weekend. Better get off here I have stuff to do today.

Januaary 1, 2007

We decided not to go to OK, wait till next weekend. Husband wanted to watch Razorbacks play today. I am going to make biscotti, have never made it before.

January 1, 2007

Wow! Another year gone by, what have I accomplished this past year, I don't really know. The year ended with me on vacation, getting some new flooring put in. I put this off for two years, because I have lived in this house for 35 years come April. I never throw anything away, I used to fuss at my mom, now I am just as bad as she was. Darn I wish she was still here, I still miss her. We had to though, we were tripping over the seams that were coming apart, some of it had waves. I still liked the carpet color, but refused to shampoo, since it was coming apart. We put down laminate flooring in the kitchen and dining room, I love it. I just hope we don't ruin it. We are so messy. I hate housework, but I love a clean house. I am going to do better this year, I swear.
Husband and Miss Kitty are playing chase, I have already chased her around the house this morning. She me woked up hitting the mini blinds in the living room, she thought it was time for us to get up. I was trying to sleep in, not with her around. I am usually up around 6:00 during the week when I work so she is use to that schedule, just because its a holiday, her clock doesn't change. I guess she is our baby now, that our kids have grown up. Sometimes I wish my girls were still little and the grandsons were still little, but then I wouldn't have great grandchildren.
Husband and I are thinking about going to Oklahoma to play slots today, sounds like fun, not sure I want to go though. I don't have much money saved up, I was saving up for Nashville, not that I need that much money, just for my food and drinks. The room will be free, I am so excited.
Back to these accomplishments for 06, I am still working and hope to keep working atleast till pay off my flooring. We took out a personal loan to get the flooring, it will take two years to pay it off. We don't have a lot of bills, I have credit cards, I have one I let get out of control, not sure how that happened, so I am working on that. Husband does not like credit cards, his motto is if you can't pay for it you don't need it. I think he is right, but I have no self control, yes I do, I have stopped charging on that card.
Better go, we are going to Oklahoma! I hope to win some money.
