It's a rainy gloomy day on this last day of March. That's a good thing though....it's not snow lol.

I watched a movie last night what I thought was going to be about the Green River Killer who murdered over 70 women over 20 years in Seattle. It turns out it was more about the ex-Sheriff Dave Reichert’s who worked on the case. It made it look like he was the only cop who did anything and who single handedly caught Gary Ridgeway. If you read Ann Rules book on this case I think you would agree that they made the wrong book into the movie. There was a task force formed to catch this guy and it took a lot of men to take him down, not just one man.

When I was in Seattle we drove along the strip where he picked up a lot of his victims and past his house where he lived. We also went to a lot of Ted Bundy's haunts and to his college frat house. It's kind of a strange feeling seeing those places. It's almost like you can see it happening at the time. The way Ann Rule writes it's just like you are there. You may think it's odd that we went to those places but it's educational in a way. These places are like any other place and it makes you realize anything can happen anytime, anywhere to anyone of us. There are people in this world who doesn't have a conscience and who gets enjoyment out of hurting others. It's scary thinking about it.

Speaking of movies. Don't you wish sometimes they would bring back Sunday and Monday night movies like they had years ago? I know I do. There isn't a whole lot on television anymore that's worth watching. I personally am getting tired of all the game shows like Deal or No Deal and Are you Smarter then a 5th Grader. Oh and the one called The Moment of Truth where you take a lie detector test and then they question you.  I think that show will be the cause of a lot of heartache and misery. Why would anyone go on something like that taking a chance that your answer could ruin your relationship or hurt someone in your life. Is money really worth all that? I guess if your heartless and don't care you would be willing to do that. Now me on the other hand would make for a pretty boring show lol. My life is an open book and I have nothing to hide or anything that would hurt someone. But I still wouldn't go on a show like that. I think the producers are scrapping the bottom of the barrel these days trying to come up with new shows.

Have you ever thought of applying to be on a game show? I've thought about it but never have. Beth and I talked about the two of us applying to be on Big Brother lol. Wouldn't that be a hoot lol. Can't you just see the two of us on there. We'd probably be the first two voted off. But we'd have fun going out I tell ya lol.

Ok gotta run. Have sweet day everyone.

I've drawn a blank. Or is it called writers block lol. Of course it would be easier to write about something if there was something to write about lol. I haven't been anywhere to talk about since I've been sick so that's out. Well there's always the weather.The snow is gone once again and rain is on the way now. It's too muddy to go out and work in the yard yet. But I'm itching to be able to get outside for more then a minute going from the house to the car. I need to be as dedicated as some of you who goes out and walks everyday no matter what it's doing out side.

My sister will be coming over later today for a haircut. She's been calling me all week wondering how I am feeling so she can come over. She's always had me cut her hair even though I don't know what the heck I am doing lol. I always watch when I get a hair cut and see how the pro's do it and try to copy them lol. I must do ok as she keeps coming and always likes it afterwards. I use to cut everyone's hair but not anymore. Even Bill goes to the salon now. I just got tired of it. It seemed as though everyday someone was coming over for a hair cut. Of course I always did my parents though. Couldn't tell them no. My kids though quit me a long time ago lol. They wanted the "in" styles and that was way beyond me lol. So now it's only my sister who is still brave enough to let me near her with scissors. And that's fine with me.

Sis's housewarming party has been so much fun. Lots of good food, fun and even celebrities showed up. Had loads of fun dancing with Richard Gere, Elvis, Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp lol. Serioulsy though it was fun. Those ladies have quite the imagination lol 

Well I'm hungry so I'm off to get some breakfast.

Have a good day and ta ta for now.

Hello and Happy Friday kids!

I think I'm going to live lol. I feel a lot better today finally. I was beginning to wonder if that was ever going to happen though. Thanks to all of you for all your get well wishes! I really appreciate it! Love you guys!

I've been going through my vacation pictures to work on the circle journal Beth started and it's been fun. The problem I'm having is picking out the pictures I want to use. I've been very fortunate and have been to a lot of places around the country so that's a lot of pics to choose from. Especially when you only need enough for 2 pages lol. I have beach scenes from both oceans and all 5 of the great lakes and the Gulf. I have mountian pictures from the Rockies to the Appalacians to the Smokey's and Ozarks. Pictures of Mt. Rushmore and Mt. Crazyhorse, Devils Tower, Old Faithful, The Grand Canyon, The Painted Desert and The Petrified Forest. The Meteror Crater in Arizona, Las Vegas,Niagra Falls And of course Hawaii. And the list goes on so how do I pick from those lol. So Cindy, it's your book I'm working on so what would you like to see lol. All are awsome places and all except for Branson Mo. are my favorites lol.

I've been scanning quite a few of them into my pc so when I'm done with the book I'm going to post them in here. Not the ones I put in Cindy's book as I don't want to spoil it for her though lol. My plan now that I making scrapbooks is to do all of them sooner or later. I think I have quite a job ahead of me lol.

Ok, back to work. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend and I'll see you at the party!

I got this email this morning and thought I'd share it with you. They are pictures a family took through their patio door windows up near Hayward Wi. This creature was watching their children playing on the den floor.

Actually a Margarita is the last thing I need or want right now. I'm feeling better but not 100% yet. This is the strangest thing I've ever had. No fever, no nausea, just a wicked wicked cough that leaves you feeling so weak and listless. My ribs hurt so bad from all the coughing but that's better today. I hate feeling lightheaded and weak like this. Just going upstairs wears me out. I'm  hoping as the day goes on I'll feel better because I have things I need to get done today.

Yesterday I made some potato soup with my leftover ham and ham bone. I think I could eat soup 7 days a week. It was good but I could only eat a small bowl because I just don't have an appetite. Of course it might help if I could taste it too. One good thing though is I think I've lost a few pounds and heaven knows I can stand to lose a few more lol.

You know men have it so easy. Here we are, both Bill and I are sick but who gets to sit around and take it easy. I know that's the way it's always been and women do keep going no matter how we feel but it makes me wonder. I makes me wonder if men think about the differences. I mean I don't feel any better or worse then he does but I still have to cook, do dishes etc. etc. I blame myself though really because he's spoiled lol. I wonder if it's too late to retrain him lol.

Well I better get going. I'm late today because I slept until 8:30 and now I feel like the day is half over. Hope you all have a good Wednesday and I will check in on ya later.

It's a Housewarming Party for Linda & EJ

Hosted by: Cindy, Sherry and Queen Beth Date and time: Saturday, March 29, 2008 at 10:00 AM Location name: Windows Live Spaces View this event on Windows Live We're having a house warming party for my Sis Linda and her hubby EJ and would love if you came by.

My daughter had a sonogram yesterday and found out their baby is a boy. This is a 3D sonogram. Can you see the baby's eyes, nose, mouth and arm and hand? Isn't that amazing! They sure a better then the ultra sounds. And a lot better then X-rays like they use to do. She has to have another one in two weeks because they couldn't see the baby's heart well enough to make sure all his arteries and where they are suppose to be. After what we went through with William the kids always tell the doctors about it just to be safe. It's not inherited they say but it is something they want to know about. With what they can see in this sonogram everything looks ok but they just want to make sure.

Well I'm sad to report that the weatherman was right. It's snowing like crazy here and instead of getting 6 inches like they first said, now they are saying 8 to 13 inches. Isn't that just dandy ;(. It's a heavy wet snow and just miserable. I suppose with Bill being sick I'm going to have to go out and shovel it off the decks. The driveway can just wait until it melts as far as I'm concerned. I was going to take Josh shopping for his birthday present today but I think that might have to wait too now. Stupid snow!!! He'll be disappointed but I don't want to be out on the roads and get stuck or take any chances with him with me.

I decided that I'm going to cook Easter dinner instead of going out to eat. It only cost me $45.00 for the groceries compared to over $100.00 for the 4 of us if we'd gone out. Billy and William will be here and possibly Dana and his girlfriend. So it's a lot cheaper eating at home. I'm sure glad I went to the store yesterday instead of waiting until today to go. I don't like driving in the snow if I don't have to.

I suppose I better get dressed and get out there and shovel some of that snow. If we get all they say we could I don't want to wait until it's done snowing. That would be way to hard to do all at once. So I will do a few inches at a time lol.

Have a great day on this Good Friday!

Would you believe we are under anther winter storm advisory starting tonight into tomorrow!!! They say we could get up to 6 more inches of snow UGH! All the snow we had is gone except where they had to pile it up and now we have more on the way! That doesn't make me happy at all. Hopefully it misses us. One good thing is it won't last long and should melt in a few days...I hope!!!  So much for today being the first day of spring huh!

My hubby is sick. I think he's getting the flu. He's been coughing for days, he aches all over and is sick to his tummy. I guess it's soup and crackers for him tonight. For a 67 year old man he doesn't get sick very often which is pretty good. But I still worry when he does. Right now he's asleep in his chair. He coughed most of the night so I know he didn't sleep good, and neither did I lol. I just hope I don't catch it. That's the last thing He had the flu shot but I know it doesn't work for all the strains of flu out there. I on the other hand have never gotten the shot ever. Or the shot for pneumonia that he gets as well. I rarely get sick and can't even remember the last time I was really sick. I had a cold a while back but that's all. In my younger days I use to get strept throat ever time the seasons changed and that wasn't fun.  But I haven't had that for years now thank God!

Well, I think the right one got voted off American Idol last night. Amanda, the rocker girl was the one to go home. She's good but not that good and her songs all sounded alike to me. I was surprised that Carley was in the bottom 3 though. I personally think that out of all the girls she's the best. Her and Brook are my two favorite girls. I don't have a favorite guy yet though. All of them are good too but there isn't one that gets my feet a tapping lol. Not yet anyway.

Well I think I should go out and get my groceries for Easter Dinner before the snow gets here. Ugh, just saying that word depresses me lol. It will probably just be the two of us and Billy and William here for dinner. I'm not sure about Dana. If his girlfriend has to work he will most likely be here. This is the year my married children go to their in-laws for Easter. Next year it's back here again. It's nice doing it every other year. It's easier on them then trying to get to both families and easier for us too. Actually I'm trying to decide if I want to cook or go out to eat. We normally go out but I'm not sure if I want to do that this year. I guess I better hurry up and decide shouldn't I lol.

Good Morning! I hope your Wednesday goes smoothly for you!

Ok I'm mad! All the shows I like to watch on Tuesday nights are all on either at the same time or a half hour apart. And of course all of them are at least an hour long. I like Big Brother, American Idol, Dancing with the Stars and the Biggest Loser, and they are all on Tuesday nights either at the same time or just a half hour from each other. I am starting to take it personally lol and think they do it just to bug ME lol. I tape American Idol and watch that later because hubby likes to watch Big Brother. That's the only show that he will even stop playing poker to watch. I flip back and forth during commercials but even that doesn't work a lot because they all have commercials on at the same time. I might be able to see a minute of the show before it goes to commercial. Yup I know they do that to try to get people to watch their networks, it's all about ratings. It is frustrating though.

Speaking of Dancing with the Stars I was quite surprised at how well Priscilla Presley did. I thought she was pretty graceful and didn't do half bad.  I know she doesn't stand a chance to win but at least she's giving it a ago. And Marlee Matlin was amazing I thought. For someone who is deaf she did great. The one to beat though in my opinion is Kristie Yamaguchi. She said it's different dancing in heels compared to skates but she's the best on the show so far.

Do any of you have a wireless mouse on your PC? We had one for years but it started to get a mind of it's own lately. It would go all over the place and stick where I couldn't move it at all. It's old so we thought it was just wearing out so Bill went to Staples and bought a new one. Well that one did the same thing. I would press the connect buttons and it would work for a minutes but then go crazy again. If I clicked on a link it wouldn't go or I had to click 3 or 4 times. Anyway it's frustrating as heck. We have a corded one that came with the PC so I hooked that one up but I really like the wireless ones better. Oh well I have to have something that works without giving me a headache lol. Bill will take the new one he bought back today as the problem must be in the computer since it did the same thing the old one did.

Ok, I'm off to the shower. Have a good day and I'll stop in for coffee later.

We had such a nice day with the kids yesterday. It was Josh's 10th birthday and we all met at yet another bowling alley for his party. The kids just love doing that and are getting quite good at it. This bowling alley was very small, only 6 lanes but they do a lot for the kids on their birthday. Free pop and pizza along with the bowling. Well I guess it's not free as mom and dad have to pay for the party but they did more at this alley then the other ones we've been too lately. Of course for Josh the best part is opening his gifts. From there we went back to their house to visit awhile. The kids had fun playing with each other and the adults had fun doing some skeet shooting. And guess what, I eve tried it lol. I missed but I tried it. Let me tell you that gun has a kick to it when you shoot. It was a 12 gauge double barreled shotgun and  I thought I broke my shoulder lol. I'm surprised I don't have a bruise today. Hubby is quite a shot though. I bet he got 5 of the 6 clay pigeons. The boys were quite impressed by dear old dad lol. I took pictures of the guys shooting but naturally they didn't take one of me when I did it lol. I'll put the pictures in the album as there are just too many to put in here. The kids even got to shoot at cans with a BB gun. I'm not real keen with the kids doing that but we were out there with them making sure they all were safe and out of the way. They bought this house because it has 35 acres just for this reason. Jon has always wanted to live where he can practice and hunt like this. I know men and boys have done it for years and years but guns scare me.  It's good to learn and respect them I guess and they are careful. Josh will be taking gun safety classes soon. His dad is an avid sportsman and does it all so I won't be surprised if Josh turns out just like that too.

We came home around 7 and I left to go to another party lol. One of the "girls" I hang out with was throwing her man a 50th birthday party at the Moose Lodge. So you know I had to go to that one. I can't let my sisters and friends have fun without me you know lol. They had a band there and those guys are so good. I've heard them before and just love them. The lead singer sounds just like Willy Nelson when he sings Willy's songs. And when I hear good music I just can't sit still. I have to get up and dance and I'll drag anyone whose close to dance with me lol. It usually isn't too hard to do though because all my sisters love to dance to. I had to laugh at a lady who was there though. She loves to dance and have fun too but her hubby isn't into it like she is. She came out and sat by us so she could hide from him lol. He wanted to go home and she didn't. So she stayed away from him as much as she could. She did pretty good though. He didn't find her until it was almost over anyway lol. She's funny and I like her a lot.

So it was a fun day all around. I need more days like that. I wonder how long it would take before I would get tired of all the parties and just want to stay home  if we had something going on every weekend. I'm thinking it would take quite awhile. Give me my family, good friends, good music and room to dance and I'm a happy camper.

FOX Sports on MSN - NFL - Favre has decided to call it a career

THE GREATEST QB OF ALL TIME!!! 

Oh no say it isn't so. My Boy Brett Farve is retiring after 17 years. Our local news just broke in with the announcement.

Well I knew it had to happen sooner or later and I'm happy he had a great year last year. I always wanted him to go out on a good year and last year couldn't get much better other then going to and winning the super bowl. So I'm happy for him.

What an illustrious career he's had. I think he's broken just about every football record out there for a quarter back. If there is one he hasn't broken I don't know what it is.

He's Hall of Fame bound that's for sure and consider my self lucky to have been able to see him play in person. I have been to several Packer games and loved every minute of it.

He's not just a good QB but he's an honorable man as well.

So Congratulations Brett on and outstanding career! You will be missed!!!

I am so damn proud to be a

PACKER FAN!!!
