Not that anyone reads my blog lol. Still filling in the past year before it ends. I had two losses is my life. My best friend passed away January 8th and it was so devastating to me. She had been sick for awhile but no one thought she would die she was only 45! Then in April of this year my step father passed away. Over the past two years he was fighting cancer and I did all I could to make those years as good as it could be. My mom took good care of him and it broke her down. Now we face the holidays without him and some other family member isn't treating her well. She is depressed enough and this is not what she needs. We don't live close by and it is a 45 minute drive there and I wish I was able to go there more and take her out of the the situation. I'm trying to be in the spirit of Christmas but it's hard. Doing something nice for others makes me feel good so that is what I'm doing. Have a good weekend all. Getting buried by snow the past 4 days and it's still going!!Sweetnessk71http://www.blogger.com/profile/07963178274636866214noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6066586126541819267.post-79099556137516488052013-12-13T16:08:00.000-08:002013-12-13T16:08:10.582-08:00Hello all a lot has changed since I last posted. I have a grandson who will be 7 months on Christmas. They live with me and it's great and bad at the same time. I'm the built in babysitter and I don't have much time to myself but he is so sweet that it doesn't bother me as much as it should. There are times I'd love to run away because it's all so overwhelming and I need space and time for me. Well all I can do is try to get through it all and enjoy the blessings. Take care allSweetnessk71http://www.blogger.com/profile/07963178274636866214noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6066586126541819267.post-68769350329556417512011-01-18T09:47:00.000-08:002011-01-18T09:55:55.813-08:00Still hereYes, still here though I do not post a lot I have been reading many blogs and learning new things. I have started Weight Watchers online and hope to do well on it. It seems like everyone starts there life changes in January but my start is not the typical one that you start but it fizzles by the end of the month. I've put it off long enough and if I don't do this now, it will never be done. My health issues will get worse and I hate to think of what will happen to me. I'm not one to post my weight etc on here but wanted to at least mention my start on this journey. I'm embarrassed at how far I have let myself go and wish I could post all the details like others do but shame keeps me from doing so. It begins now and at least I have my mom doing the same thing with me and my family backs me up with it so that is a plus on my side. Take care all.Sweetnessk71http://www.blogger.com/profile/07963178274636866214noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6066586126541819267.post-16752804929269184262010-12-16T19:41:00.000-08:002010-12-16T19:52:49.260-08:00A Christmas gone by...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB4HROnj8irEdxVik3uFV9P3JRA_Rze-FnMlkFIw_LQFpAUIoHLXNXIJ6n3ka97RFDCf5wnbMdtiyJFGXIM40IKELMsUHVA1CmVBN6axQVbQujuffvmbgISyXCYGoLG83xZ2EUhEhLd4w/s1600/2008001.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB4HROnj8irEdxVik3uFV9P3JRA_Rze-FnMlkFIw_LQFpAUIoHLXNXIJ6n3ka97RFDCf5wnbMdtiyJFGXIM40IKELMsUHVA1CmVBN6axQVbQujuffvmbgISyXCYGoLG83xZ2EUhEhLd4w/s320/2008001.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551492085602327762" /></a><br /><br /><br />Seems so long ago we lived in this house and had all these keepsakes and memories of many a holiday. I can look at some of these pics and see things I had and cherished. Yes, it has made me sad and grumpy this Christmas but I am forever grateful that I have my family this Christmas. I guess it is time to make more memories although new they will be with me forever. <br /><br />Almost a year has passed since the fire but it feels just like yesterday is that weird? I don't know I just feel raw still and I keep trying to make plans to do fun lil things like make cookies and watch Christmas movies but no matter what I end up at the same place lol. Well I have made out my Christmas cards and my tree is up and yes there are some lights up outside lol. Next week I have plans to make cookies with friends and family and learn how to make fudge..should be interesting. I hope all of you are having a great Christmas time.

Also, feeling blahhh for a month or so now. Feel like something is missing but not sure what it is. Yesterday was the 11 th anniversary of my dads death. He was only 47 and some young guy in a red mustang took his life. We weren't that close but I miss him. He wasn't the greatest of men..but I miss him. I miss my family. Some relatives close to me have decided over the past five or so years that we shouldn't do the holidays. Now my family has always been close and done things and gotten together. Yes, when I was younger I loved the gifts the most lets face it lol. Now that I am older and have a child of my own I long to make more memories with her and for her to think back and remember family gatherings. Well this excludes a part of my family and it is just not the same. Something low key and nice for thanksgiving is all I wanted but I guess my low key is going to be just the three of us. I should be use to it but ever since the fire I hold my family and my memories closer to my heart and it hurts more. Like Forest Gump said "that's all I got to say about that" lol. Take care all maybe next time I will be in a better mood.Sweetnessk71http://www.blogger.com/profile/07963178274636866214noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6066586126541819267.post-56733832894413303272010-09-10T21:15:00.000-07:002010-09-10T21:32:45.726-07:00Getting Back to Normal<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRHV1VwNl3zdSFMDdlIgIv_OLgPaAO7IoXWmjz9DJq_vxvn2xJMiyT-kYD0YXfvscrVFUO6sTyZXJuA3w0yDePuff0RvEkFqdZghgSWZc-viqVBagrUF3KAicWZg88-86oKMffAbwLGJM/s1600/FSCN0003.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRHV1VwNl3zdSFMDdlIgIv_OLgPaAO7IoXWmjz9DJq_vxvn2xJMiyT-kYD0YXfvscrVFUO6sTyZXJuA3w0yDePuff0RvEkFqdZghgSWZc-viqVBagrUF3KAicWZg88-86oKMffAbwLGJM/s320/FSCN0003.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515509082705175730" /></a><br />Ok well hello all. This is the second attempt at posting this week. The first time I tried frustrated me because I had typed it all and looked over it and was going to post and it disappeared lol. It wasn't so funny when it happened but I'm going to give it another try now that I'm not angry lol.<br /><br />Well I am going to try to make this short because I am eager to get past this in my blog. I stayed with my friend and my daughter and hubby stayed with his brothers family. A house with seven children in it lol.. yes I said seven. My one child being there made it eight kids and three adults in the house. Ahhhh I am so glad I chose to stay with a friend because I don't think I could of dealt with the noise. My hat is off to my sister in law because that is alot of work phheww just thinking about it tires me lol. We were homeless for about a month. I happened to fall into getting a place that a friend of mine was moving out of. There was alot of work to be done as we were moving things in. Hectic is an understatement and we were very impatient. Thank goodness we finally got in and settled and thanks to having renters insurance we were able to have furniture etc. It was alot of work but for sure was worth it. I can't wait to have Christmas here. We had Easter dinner here and a couple of bbqs. It is just nice to have a place that is your own. The saying you don't miss it until you don't have it is very true. <br /><br />So now I am settled and it is my daughters bday as well as mine and my anniversary this month. She is a senior this year and I know that I am going to be crazy busy with things but I welcome it. I craved normalcy for so long that now that I have it I take time to look around and enjoy life, even the crazy times lol. <br /><br />I would like to change this blog but I don't remember how to and it looks like it has changed since I changed it the last time.. OH well all in good time.<br /><br />Take care allSweetnessk71http://www.blogger.com/profile/07963178274636866214noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6066586126541819267.post-85431481180144231072010-08-12T23:33:00.000-07:002010-08-12T23:48:51.880-07:00Hellooo againHey all it has been a long time. It hasn't been easy putting my life back together so please excuse my lack in posting lol.<br />I think I left off where I had just been told my house was in flames and could not be salvaged. By the time I took a shower etc and went down to look at my home they were demolishing it because it could of fell on the neighboring houses. It was still smoldering a bit. I don't know how to describe it. It was like I was watching someone elses life because how could this be happening to me. My mind was on my daughter who didn't know yet that this happened and having a fun weekend with her church friends. How was I going to tell her everything was gone. I was heartbroken thinking about telling her that her cat had not made it and all that she knew and had was gone. I cried knowing that I had to be the strong one and couldn't break down because who else would hold us together after this. All day long I cried but I knew when my daughter got back it would have to stop lol. When we told her she was so sad it broke my heart. She asked me where would we live and what do I do now. I told her we will stay with family and friend and we will do our best to have our own place and be together as soon as possible. Thank god we had renters insurance and wonderful family and friends. I stayed with a friend and my husband and daughter stayed with family. To say it was hard to be apart is an understatement lol. Well that's enough for now. I get all teary eyed every time I think about this but it is good to get it out. Take care all.Sweetnessk71http://www.blogger.com/profile/07963178274636866214noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6066586126541819267.post-21635953200251256142010-03-07T19:17:00.000-08:002010-03-07T19:35:36.131-08:00YES IM ALIVE TAKES A WHOLE NEW MEANINGHello all I just logged in and made my way here and sat and read my last entry. Life was so simple then but it didn't seem like it at the time. A few weeks ago I was over visiting a friend for the weekend. It was suppose to be a overnight thing but we had so much fun I decided to stay another night. On that Sunday morning we stayed up until five am only to hear my phone go off at six am. I thought I was dreaming and tried to fall back to sleep. It rang again so I finally got up and checked my voicemail.<br /><br />The first message was from the sheriff asking me to call him and the next was from my sister in law in tears asking for me to call her. All I could think of was something happened to my husband or daughter. Hubby was delivering papers and my daughter was in the city at a church weekend function. My phones signal sucked but I attempted to call my sister in law. It was valentines day an I had planned on going home and spending the day with my family but my sister in law told me through tears that it was gone. I asked what was gone,, she said the house an I asked who's house... she said your house. The connection was lost and I freaked out.. I went into shock. I later found out that if I had been there I wouldn't of made it out. For some weird reason we were all out at six am on a Sunday. Thank god <br /><br />Unfortunately our amazon bird and beloved mamma cat along with two hamsters from school did not get so lucky. I will continue this story which has become my life soon. Take care all and hold onto the ones you love because you never know.Sweetnessk71http://www.blogger.com/profile/07963178274636866214noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6066586126541819267.post-79798517922985084432009-10-25T20:07:00.000-07:002009-10-25T20:10:23.717-07:00Yes,,, I am still Alive lolHey all it's me.. wow it has been a long time.

So sorry I haven't been on in a long time. I don't know I think this weather is effecting me still. My days all meld into each other and I find myself with not much to say lol. School is still a big struggle with my daughter as she is failing most of her subjects. I called and now have a plan in place for her to get some tutoring and less work on her plate for the upcoming semester. The in laws are still in limbo as to what they are doing. I don't think they will rebuild because it will cost more then they have and of course taxes will skyrocket. My friend had her surgery and is doing better so far. Other then that all is pretty slow and uneventful. I hope to be back more often..take care.Sweetnessk71http://www.blogger.com/profile/07963178274636866214noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6066586126541819267.post-76510842392580967362009-01-15T11:56:00.000-08:002009-01-15T12:20:00.576-08:00Long Time No Blog<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmaR25FwT2IYF6h5elSNWcsd-ZGB-MPJ8AzHNHogM1mOuKOWwBtcCjWxV9X-74k1S7EozD2wkU_3WTuwB17fhFhXiEo4cXNYg8i2CRWtaGbqURDoehAbZHS422qWGMAS3qC9GNMicwKHc/s1600-h/2008+pics+063.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmaR25FwT2IYF6h5elSNWcsd-ZGB-MPJ8AzHNHogM1mOuKOWwBtcCjWxV9X-74k1S7EozD2wkU_3WTuwB17fhFhXiEo4cXNYg8i2CRWtaGbqURDoehAbZHS422qWGMAS3qC9GNMicwKHc/s320/2008+pics+063.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291614992638042626" /></a><br /><br />Hey all. Hope everyone is doing good and making it through this super cold snap we are having ..brrrr. I know I have been gone since Christmas and I'm sorry about that but I was in a bit of a funk. It always happens to me soon after the holiday hoopla has ended. I was tired and worn out and a bit bummed that it was all over lol. Oh well, I'm back and hope to post more in the new year. Happy belated New Year everyone lol.<br /><br />A couple of weeks ago my in laws house burned down. My father in law was not home and my mil got out just in time. They don't live too far from us and I didn't even hear an engine or siren that morning. We are all shocked and saddened. This was the house my husband grew up in and his parents are in there 70's and it's a shame that they had this happen to them. I lost my home when I was 8 years old and know how it feels to loose everything. Well I'm not sure what they are going to do but will keep you all updated when I do. We had a problem with our water pressure this past weekend and had very little water. It's so cold here and we had to have the water dripping as we are prone to frozen pipes in this house. Hubby and I decided that we are going to move this spring/summer as this house will never get worked on like it should and it is owned by my brother in law. So after living here eight years we will move on. Easier said then done and it will be a true adventure for sure. <br /><br />We had a good Christmas and the picture above is of my daughter and her new cousin on Christmas Eve. Ok I will update more later..stay warm out there.Sweetnessk71http://www.blogger.com/profile/07963178274636866214noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6066586126541819267.post-10317346277536521622008-12-25T11:24:00.000-08:002008-12-25T11:26:21.790-08:00MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!<a href="http://s127.photobucket.com/albums/p130/Sweetnessk71/?action=view¤t=ChristmasSpirit.gif" target="_blank"><img src="http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p130/Sweetnessk71/ChristmasSpirit.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br />Hi all.

Hope everyone is warm and cozy at home. It has been crazy here with high winds and tons of snow for the past few days. Friday and today my daughter had snow days. She goes back for one day then it is vacation time..woohooo lol. Two different storms have passed through here since Friday. It's so crazy that my hubby couldn't even deliver the newspaper last night. Tons of vehicles stuck in ditches. Even the plows themselves were in ditches. I just hope that Christmas is not going to be bad as we have a 45 minute drive ahead of us. Fun times lol. Oh and my husbands windshield wiper broke lol. Perfect timing I guess lol. We also need to get new tires on my car as it isn't too good in the snow. Gotta love winter lol.<br /><br />I'm all done with my Christmas shopping thank goodness and we have made the cookies. The party was nice and we all chatted and baked and had some wine lol. My friend that was in the hospital is doing better. There are things she still has to follow up on that will suck but at least she is healthy enough to enjoy the holidays. We are going to bingo tomorrow and exchanging gifts so that will be a fun outing. I'm crossing my fingers that the snow will stay away as I drive there and back lol. Ok take care all and have a good week.

Hope everyone is doing well and staying sane from all the running around they are doing with the holidays approaching so quickly. I can't believe there is only nine days left. This month has flown by lol. Good news is I am about done with my Christmas shopping and about done sending out my cards..woohoo. Just have to get some stocking stuffers and wait for my shipments to come in and wrap them all up. <br /><br />The other day I got a call from a good friend of mine and she was admitted into the hospital with a terrible kidney infection and they spotted a growth on her ovary. All that and she is also having problems with her colen. She is a breast cancer survivor and when I heard she had a growth I thought the worst. Well it turns out that is a cyst they think and are going to give her medication to shrink it after she recovers from her infection. They told her if she would of come in any later she might of had to get the kidney removed so I am very thankful for the good news even though she has had a bad time of it. I speak with her everyday and she seems to be improving and they may let her go home in a few days..woohoo :). So if you can please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you. <br /><br /><br />This Saturday another friend of mine is having a cookie exchange party. I went to one last year at another friends house and it was crazy. Tons of people and tons of cookies lol. I know this one will be smaller but I will still make the only cookie I am good at making....chocolate chip LOL. Ok well I'm going to head out now. Take care and have a good week.

I still haven't finished decorating the house but we do have the tree and lights up. <br /><br />Thank you all for the sweet comments on the baby. She is a cutie and a welcomed edition to this already big family lol. Maybe, just maybe I will get to meet the other new edition come Christmas time. <br /><br />About three years or so back we had a bit of a family falling out. My mother was angry, I was angry and her husband was as well. None of it was my fault but I stuck my two cents in and was punished for that fact. My mother in turn stopped having any holiday meals or get togethers for anything. My step father stopped speaking to me and it was a big slap in the face. Birthdays and holidays came and went and we didn't see each other at all. I was so sad for the holidays to come. When my daughter has her dance recitals we would all gather and go see her do her thing but I wasn't spoken to or sat by. Well my mom did but my step dad hadn't spoken to me in years up until last June. After last June he emailed me and wanted to let it all go as we weren't getting any younger. All this caused alot of rifts through our family and we haven't had a Christmas all together in three years. I get sent Christmas cards from my mom with a check inside. The gift or money doesn't mean anything to me but being together with each other is what matters. She still isn't having us over during these occasions but at least we get along and can all be nice etc. This Christmas we are having some relatives come out for a visit and I hope to see us all together in one room. That is top on my Christmas wish list. You never know when your time will come..spend that time with loved ones. Give them big hugs and let them know you love them. Time is short and building those memories is priceless. <br /><br />Ok now that I have rambled on I will close this for now lol. Take care and hugs to you all.

She loves to put her hands all over her face when she sleeps lol. We had fun yesterday though it was very crowded. It was like a belated Thanksgiving dinner and a welcome baby to the family dinner hehe. I gave her a few outfits for her but her main gift a crochet blanket that is still being made. I'm thinking this blanket is going to be huge as my friend made it a bit long and had to go on from there lol. Oh well she can use it for years and years. I made a pork loin with all the fixings today. It was yummy and I got rave reviews woohoo lol. I like to cook but only when I'm in the mood to you know how that goes. Ok well be prepared for a few more pictures of this cutie as I have a few more that I would like to post tomorrow.

I've been going to a few tag blogs and snatching all the good stuff..so thanks again everyone lol. Well, the snow has hit my area. I think we got like half a foot out there. It's freezing brrrrrrrrrrrr. All this week and some of last the snow has hit all around us and I was thank full for that lol. We were due to get it sooner or later. I don't like driving in the snow or walking in it. My husband doesn't either and wants to move to somewhere warm but I don't want to leave my family and friends here. No matter where you live you have to live with some weather condition that you don't like so we have to grin and bear it lol.<br /><br /><br />This Sunday we are suppose to go over my brother in laws and have a belated turkey dinner and meet the new addition. I must remember to bring my camera so I can post some pictures of her on here. My sister in law had a c section last Friday and she is already going out and doing things. I think that is crazy but she is on her 7 th child so I guess she is a pro at what her body can handle. Ok, time for bed.

Hope everyone is having a good week so far. We are doing ok here. We have been having some snow fun...not. It's cooooold outside lol. The picture above is of my cousin Camden. He is a cutie for sure. I diapered his dad as an infant so now I am feeling a bit oooooooold lol. I have always felt and been told I am more like an aunt to him so I guess that makes me a great aunt now LOL. I hope to get a picture of my new niece this week and can post that also. I also hope to meet Camden around Christmas as they live in Las Vegas and that is a bit far to go lol. The family doesn't seem to get together like they use to. I miss the old days lol.<br /><br />Well I made it through Cyber Monday hehe. It was fun and I spend most of my time online browsing and purchasing. I helped a friend of mine get a nintendo ds for her daughters birthday that is 10 days before Christmas. Looking for just the right deal is fun but after awhile it can drive you insane lol. It seemed like everyone had some sort of sale going on. I was everywhere and my computer would freeze up here and there grrrr. So in the end I had ordered gifts from about four places. I'm not done yet and have to place an order next week. Also, next Friday I am the driver and my friend is the runner lol. No we are not robbing a bank lol. We are going to the mall..guess that does feel like we are being robbed LOL. Okok I am goofy this evening. Well I make sure she doesn't walk a mile to park and she helps me out by picking up a few things for me.. it works out lol. <br /><br />Ok well I will close this for now. Take care all and have a great week.Sweetnessk71http://www.blogger.com/profile/07963178274636866214noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6066586126541819267.post-3883792417471866042008-11-29T21:03:00.000-08:002008-11-29T21:36:39.125-08:00Not Such a Boring Week<a href="http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p130/Sweetnessk71/NewImage.gif"></a><br /><br />Hey all. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. We had ours here at home and all was good except for some spilt turkey juice which started our oven smoking lol..cough cough. I did go to bingo this week and won wooohoo. Not alot but hey I broke my streak of loosing lol. I was in a hurry going home as I had to go to the bathroom lol. Doing the pee dance in my car seat I drove home and passed by a trooper sitting on the side of the road. No, I wasn't speeding because I had to go..so I figured I was all good and they didn't have a reason to pull me over. Well, I was wrong. Ya, he pulled me over and all the sudden the feeling of having to go went away lol. Keep in mind it was still Thanksgiving and I get pulled over grrrr. He asked me if I knew why I was pulled over and I said no of course I don't lol. I guess one of my tail lights was out. Come on now I get pulled over on Thanksgiving for a tail light??????? It seemed like forever while he went back to his car to run my info through the system. Hey, I could be a serial killer or have a warrant out for selling drugs right lol. The longer I sat there ON THANKSGIVING the more I had a feeling of dread. He comes back with a ticket in his hand. Arggggghhhhh, he explains that all I have to do is get it fixed blah blah blah and charges will get dropped. He left and I said under my breath,,, Happy Thanksgiving. On the way home tons of things went through my mind as why he gave me a ticket for such a little thing on a holiday. Hmmmm maybe he was mad having to work on a holiday or maybe his turkey was too dry. Oh maybe since it was the end of the month he still had to find some victims to fill up his quota. Anyway, that was just part of my week lol.<br /><br /><br />A few days before Thanksgiving I went to the craft store for some yarn with my friend so she could make the baby blankets for the new babies that have come this month. Yes on Friday my sister in law gave birth via c section to a baby girl. Her name is AnnaLisa I believe. I haven't heard much as they are a big family and have allot going on. She has a head full of hair which is unusual because all of her other 6 were bald at birth lol. So anyway, the other day we were coming from the store and going to my friends parents house to pick up some paper work she needed. When all the sudden the car in front of me went to the other lane and it is then that I saw a big huge dead dear in the middle of the road. It happened so quick that I could not stop or avoid it. Bump,,,,bump. Uhhhhh huh ok that was scary and I am freaking out all the way to her parents house. She on the other hand is cracking up. I have a used saturn ls that I havn't finished paying for yet and I have just run over a dead deer...grrr. Thank goodness it didn't damage the car phhhewwww that was scary. <br /><br />I didn't go out on black Friday because I figured that I had enough drama for the week lol. However, I did go online and get some deals. This is how I shop for most of my Christmas list and birthdays etc. I'm not a fan of going in stores and dealing with the traffic and weather issues lol. Today I have spend allot of time on here changing things around and I'm still not sure I like it lol. Oh well it will do for now. I am trying a tag that D from Ds designs made for me..thanks again D :). Hope it works lol. Have a great rest of the week all.Sweetnessk71http://www.blogger.com/profile/07963178274636866214noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6066586126541819267.post-22481015025063253992008-11-27T11:33:00.001-08:002008-11-27T11:37:30.506-08:00HAPPY THANKSGIVING<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ3FaQVnynNnr6pmL9x8eNK8HlbyCJqlpcbZuBo2ITlXgsuDLO-p_tYaoWt-i2J2ME9-_nymH3bzJ7fBDVlgkQAt7O5ENnGu30s2YANS9FPiqJKjhMa25XteCuoPQ70uKK-1Tnony4JYk/s1600-h/ht.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ3FaQVnynNnr6pmL9x8eNK8HlbyCJqlpcbZuBo2ITlXgsuDLO-p_tYaoWt-i2J2ME9-_nymH3bzJ7fBDVlgkQAt7O5ENnGu30s2YANS9FPiqJKjhMa25XteCuoPQ70uKK-1Tnony4JYk/s320/ht.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273422874865538098" /></a> Happy Thanksgiving all.

Hope everyone had a good weekend. Mine was a little bit of good a little not so good lol. First off I want to thank Alice for the Marie Antoinette award. It is my first ever award woohoo. Thank you so much Alice :). I will be posting some awards at the end of my post as well. It's hard to pick them as alot of you have them already lol. So if you get one from me and you already have it I am sorry and you don't have to pass it on as I know you have already done so lol. <br /><br />Some what of an update on my brother. Looks like some toxins in his liver was causing the breaking out. He is not a drinker or anything like that so they are not sure why it happened. The lovely insurance he has is not covering his stay at the hospital which is around seven thousand dollars. Yeah real nice insurance place grrr. On Tuesday he will be going back to work so I hope all goes well and he can have some normalcy. <br /><br />Of course the weekend wouldn't be complete without a bingo loss. Yeaapppp went to bingo and didn't win..shock of all shocks lol. Spent the day today watching the Buffalo Bills kick some butt wooohoooooo. It's about time they won a game. Even though they won and hubby wasn't grumpy he chose to drive me nuts and start arguments. Sometimes I wonder why were are still married lol. I finally got some peace when he went to bed, finished the dishes and came on here to unwind. <br /><br />Looks like we may just spend Thanksgiving just us three here this year. We were going to go to my sister and brother in laws then we all got invited to another sister in laws. I have met her twice and have never met her husbund. I don't know about you all but I much rather spend my day at home and relaxed then go to someones house I don't know and play nice lol. Oh well, there is always Christmas. I know for sure where I am going then hehe. Ok this is long enough lol .. have a good week all :)Sweetnessk71http://www.blogger.com/profile/07963178274636866214noreply@blogger.com1
