Time goes flowing by...

Next month is quite full as we have our 48th anniversary and my 69th birthday in February. Boy, I can't believe how the time has flown. I remember when I thought 40 was old. I wonder what my young self would have thought about age 69. One more year until the big 70. Even now when I think of it I freak out. The time has flown but also seems like a long time. I know that's a contradiction but it seems to go slow at the time you are living it but when you find out how much time has elapsed it seems to have flown by. Of course, a week is nothing. I wake up on Sunday morning and before I know it It's Sunday again. Getting old is just plain weird. Better than the alternative though. Ha!

Man the last few days have been a real drag. Cloudy and cold - not my kind of weather. I don't know why I live in the north as I'm a hot weather gal. We haven't had any snow to speak of this year which is a blessing but it has been up and down temps. I need to live somewhere where the coldest days are high 60s at least.

I have been doing a lot of listing in my stores though so you might want to check them out. January has been a really weird selling month. A sale here and there nothing substantial. Oh, well, may February will be better.

Hope all is going well with you and that 2012 is a good year. Thanks for taking the time to read my little blog.

Until next time...

Clyde

Well Clyde has to take the hyperthyroid medicine for another month or two before we can really tell if the medicine is working. Right now he still looks just as skinny. Hopefully he will start gaining soon. I don't want him to gain the weight his little sister has as she is quite chubby.

I haven't posted for a while as I have been really busy. Every day there is something. Today it's getting my eyes tested. It is so cold here though I really don't even want to stick my head out the door much less get out and drive to the eye doctor. I can't wait for spring but then it's tornadoes we have to worry about. I guess you just can't win when it comes to Mother Nature.

I have been listing and listing trying to make more sales but it is really like pulling teeth. I have been having some sales but I need to make a lot more if I intend to pay bills and add to our little nest egg. I also would like to make room for the new items I am buying. Guess I will have to stop buying until I have more room. I hope you will check out my stores if you need or want something.

Our dog, Lady, is getting a beauty treatment tomorrow. We aren't going to get her hair cut much as she will need it if it stays like it is right now. She is so cute when she has a bath and haircut. Oh, she's pretty anyway but is exceptionally cute when she is bathed and cut.

Well, that's my interesting and awesome life. LOL Thanks for reading my posts and buying from my stores. I really appreciate it.

Until next time....

My skinny cat, Clyde

An update on what's happening with Clyde. He has been taking the medicine almost two months and it doesn't seem to be making a difference. He's still just as skinny as before. I guess it's back to the vet for more tests but we have to get a pill to knock him out first in order to get him back to the vet's office. I sure hope it's not something that can't be fixed. I love that big guy and hope he gets better.

Anyway I will keep you posted.

Thanks for reading my blog and hope you like it.

When will a woman be President?

I certainly would like to see a woman president in my lifetime but the way things are right now, not sure I will. I guess I just don't get the women in this country. When a woman runs we should get behind her and not let the fact that she is good looking or some of her ideas are not our ideas keep us from voting for her. I sure as heck don't agree 100% with the men who are running so it doesn't make sense that we would have to agree with a woman candidate 100%. So she doesn't agree about abortion, or she has different ideas about marriage or whatever, most of the men candidates have pretty much the same ideas. So how come men can feel that way but a woman can't? I guess I will never understand it. The women of this country need to get over themselves. Maybe in another 100 years it will happen but I doubt it. Even countries that are supposed to be less enlightened than the US have elected women as their leaders. This makes me almost ashamed that our country is so far behind in this respect. Hope someday we grow up.

Anyway, that's my 2 cents.

Happy New Year 2012!

Hope you all had a great New Year's Eve. May 2012 be better than 2011.

Merry Christmas!!

Hope all have a wonderful day and got everything you wanted from Santa.

We have a very good day. My husband and I don't get each other gifts any more because we get what we need and can afford throughout the year. I think sometimes that is better as it gives you more time to do the things you like than stressing out about getting gifts and returning gifts you have received. My sister and her hubby came over and we had a nice dinner and sat and chatted for a while. They had to leave pretty early as she was getting really tired and needed to rest. It was nice though. Too bad my daughter and my sister's sons could not make it.

Well, as always, thanks for the read. Hope you come back again.

Wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

I can't believe it is Christmas eve already. Man the year has just flown. I am amazed at how much time has passed when someone mentions a well-known event. Anyway, I want to wish all a very Merry Christmas and New Year.

I'm fixing a roast tomorrow and my sister and her husband are coming to eat. This is the sister who just had the stomach surgery and she isn't feeling the greatest so my husband and I invited them over. I will just have to throw in a couple more potatoes and other stuff for us all. We usually play Mexican Dominoes but it would be too hard on her. At least she doesn't have to worry about fixing a meal.

I know it's too late to get more Christmas gifts but you can always get something for yourself that you didn't receive. Be sure and check my stores out for that wanted item.

Thanks very much for readying my blog. Hope you enjoy it.
