What Did You Do?

This is what we did for Halloween...







What did you do?

Happy Anniversary!

I can't believe it! We were married in Mesa, AZ 23 years ago. In the years since that day on Oct 10th I have marveled at how in all this time, he still loves me. He is quite the catch (as some were quick to point out early on).

So, why would he choose me? Well why not? We make each other laugh. We understand each other's humor. We have similar interests. We compliment each other. He is strong where I am weak and I am strong where he is weak. We love each other. He is HOT! He has an AWESOME smile. Ok, I tease about the smile! But that's what we do, we tease! We joke, we try not to take things too seriously, because frankly our life has been far too serious at times. We have made sacrifices for our boys. And with these trials and sacrifices our love for each other has grown stronger and deeper.

I married my best friend. It doesn't get any better than that!

Dear Me

Dear Me,

(Ummmm, why are you still reading? This is for me...ahem... )

Ok, I think they are gone, so, I have some questions to ask if you don't mind. You don't have to answer if you don't want to, but these questions have been on my mind for a while.

1. Why is it that I have a headache every single Sunday? (Ok, I have a headache every day of the week, but on Sunday they are just out of control.)

2. Why are teeth the first thing I look at when I meet someone?

3. Why is there an otter pop stain on my keyboard when there is no food allowed at the computer?

4. Why do I find it so hard to be motivated to do something on the weekend when I can work my butt off all week long?

5. Who shot the sheriff?

6. How did I end up with such a nice guy as a husband?

7. Why are you still reading this? (Not me, you!)

Love Me.

PS, If you (yes you) figure out some of the answers, please let me in on them! Thanks!

Forgetfulness

I am a forgetful person. It is hard for me to learn new things. It hasn't always been this way for me. When I was younger, I didn't have to study at all. I just remembered things that I had learned. If I didn't think it was important, or if I didn't like a particular subject in school, I just "pushed" the information out of my thoughts.

This "pushing" has come in handy for other things as well. Although, my body would tell you that there are consequences to "pushing" thoughts out of my head.

But now my problem is this.......

How do you retrain your brain to remember things when for 40+ years you have trained it to "forget"?

Lake Powell Bound

While most of my friends are scurrying around preparing to send their children back to school tomorrow, I am heading to Lake Powell.

My boys are grown.

It's weird to say that, cause to me they are still my babies. That is until they stand in a doorway and take up all the space. Then reality hits. They ARE grown.

So, as you send your babies off to school, think of me basking in the sun playing in the sand and cooling off in the water. (I just made myself jealous!)

Now I am going to pack my next book on my reading list...... I can't wait!

Calling All Judges

No it's not a new TV show, it is my life.

Apparently if I don't want to be judged, I just shouldn't answer the phone.

Or, if I answer the phone, my answer should be yes, and then I won't have to hear this on the other end of the line........

"Oooohhhhhhhhh......tsk.....(sigh). Alriiiiight then. Goodbye."

After all, no matter how much you may judge me, I am a much harsher judge of myself than you can EVER be. True story.
