MUST BLOG MORE

ReAlLy MuSt BlOg MoRe

Ugg….I think of how it was so much fun and I enjoyed it so much and I’ve totally lost it.

It’s like coming back and posting is out of guilt.

So..dad fell, broke his nose..healing up better.

J and I went to Aruba

Pictures are on flickr…see bottom right…my daily tweets are also on the side bar.

How are you?

Testing the new post method.

Ok if this works it will be ultimately cool. Blog by email? I can use my new crackberry!!

Happy Monday..you get bullet’s again!

• Is there a way to make money on WordPress? I get a bagillion hits a day on those stupid sexy girl photos I have…see links to the right.
• I saw Wolverine. If you are a comic book geek..I say no. If you are an X-Men movie freek…hell to the yes. Awesome movie..and you see a little Hugh Jackman booty!
• I rode my bike around the house a little on Saturday. Damn I live in a hilly neighborhood.
• Went to Six Flags on Sunday. I LOVE roller coasters. It was a cool day and there was hardly anyone there. Sweat pants and long sleeve shirt. Love it!
• Going to see The Killers tonight. To be honest I’m not very excited about it, but J is…
• Anyone watching The Unit? Man it was good last night. I wondered if that guy was undercover the whole time..that was majorly intense.
• I’m pleased with the Final 3 teams…if the black girls were in it they would be bickering w/ Luke and his mom..I was done w/ that. The snobby white girls though HAVE to come in 3rd…uggg…they are so ignorant to people.
• I’m going to start Weight Watchers again. ….with my exercising. I think this time I may actually hit my goal. Wish me luck.
• If you are a fan of James Patterson I wanted to tell you that The 8th Confession came out..part of the Women’s Murder Club. It was GOOOD.

Brand New Post Involving Bullet Points!

• 

  This was our group that walked

  I have been in SUCH a blogging funk I feel like I’ve been gone for a million years.

• Lately I feel a million years old. My hair needs to be dyed, I have so many grey’s I look 60..not that there is anything wrong with being 60..it’s just that I’m still in my early 40’s.
• I just now forgot how old I was.
• I got out the calculator. I’m still 42
• I have been an excercising fool.
• I still can’t fit back into my skinnier pants that I was wearing last spring.
• We have a full membership to the Y and I take 2 classes a week. Deep Water Exercise. I really like it.
• I walk on the treadmill and ride the staionary bike.
• I bought a real live mountain bike. It’s a Schwinn. It’s Pink.
• I walked in my first “walk” at Forest Park. It was for March of Dimes in memory of Maddie. I met Lisa and Heather who have blogs and there really cute kids. There was also a woman named Adene who brought her preemie w/ her..he’s 13 and his friend. The last mile was tough, it was 3.25 miles or something like that.
• I started taking pictures again. Check the link on the side to Flickr.
• I’ve had some people offer to buy prints from me. They have only shown interest. Could you even imagine?
• I’ve been very irritable lately. I think I’m going through premenapause. (sorry to any boy reading). I haven’t had a period in at least 4 months. It could be because I’ve been exercising more. No I’m not pregnant and no I haven’t gone to the doctor.
• They cut our pay at work..that sucks. I’m one of the few people that is taking less pay but has to do more work. Hourly employees take an unpaid day off every pay period. I’d rather have one of those.
• I’m still addicted to Facebook and Twitter. I have a tweetdeck now.
• I’m going to Aruba in 6 weeks and I haven’t told my mother yet.
• My mother is driving me even MORE crazy than normal.
• I am starting to read blogs again…baby steps…baby steps…
• I really think I need to win the lottery.
• There was an earthquake in Mexico City today as well as that Swine Flu thing going around. I”m glad I don’t have plans to go to Mexico.
• Drew is playing baseball now. He likes it.
• It feels good to get back to random bullet points!

Keep Believing

So…we celebrate life, death and everything in between.

I was supposed to remember to change my blog post to Keep Believing on Sunday, I didn’t I was going to do it for Angie, it would have been her anniversary. Her husband passed away.

The March of Dimes walk is next Saturday. I started St Louis Team Maddie. We raised $250 so far. Would you like to sponsor more?

I think I’m ready for lighthearted posting soon. Maybe something random with bullet points

I have new pictures up if you would like to go look. Over on the flickr link…

Remember Maddie

Today is the day they are laying Maddie to rest. I’m wearing purple and thinking about her, are you?

Do you know what I’m talking about? I have mentioned her the last couple of posts. Thalon died too. 16 Months old.

Pisses you off doesn’t it?  I just don’t get it and right now trying to rationalize it that god needs angels or something like that doesn’t quote compute.

Please visit this wonderful article on Blogher which explains what is going on and the links to read more.

St Louis Team Maddie

For Maddie and her mom and dad

Please visit… Read, Donate.

My facebook/twitter/blog life have intertwined…although RL friends don’t come here…I mention this because I was reading shared posts about the little Maddie dying. I didn’t know Heather, her blog or her family. I feel though responsible for a post today. They are part of the blogging family.

Maddie’s mom has been referred to today hundreds of times as “my friend”.. I don’t know if these women ever met her or not, it doesn’t matter..years ago the lines has started getting smaller and smaller between who your friends and on line friends are.

When I talk about you..Biddy, Bri, Grandma J, Jason…anyone that is reading this, I refer to you all as my friend, I only qualify if people ask how we met. When my friend asked me today who Maddie was that died, I said it was a close friend of my friends.

Keep the family in your prayers

Blog thinking has returned

At least 5 times this weekend I thought their were some blogworthy things to talk about..that’s a step in the right direction isn’t it?
I’ve forgotten what they all were though.

Normally I just tweet them (twitter) or add to facebook. Normally now..

We went to a friends for dinner Saturday night. Ate then played Mexican Train dominoes. It was a good time. J ate too much and then felt like crap all day yesterday.

I decided to go to the Y every day and exercise…at least 30 minutes. I have totally blown it but at least I’m going 3 or more days a week.
I can’t walk on the treadmill without holding on. I like it. I never thought I would say that.

You watching American Idol…I am. I’m a Danny fan.

You watching Amazing Race.. I am. I think the only one’s I don’t care for are the tweedle bros..I hate that they screwed w/ the pumps. Moooooooommmm … remember that from last night. My husband had to stifle a snicker.

You watching Survivor? … I am. My favorite right now is Taj. I don’t think she’s going to make it to the merge. I hope so though.

I’m still hungry. Off to hunt food.

Home..

I don’t know if you have ever read Keep Believing. Angie is orignally from St Louis yet I never met her in real life.
Angie married her man..adopted 2 lovely boys, the “perfect” life.
Angie’s loving husband Brian died yesterday after a battle with brain cancer. I think Angie is SO strong, thoughtful and truly a hero to her family and inspiration to those of us that piss and moan about things that aren’t really important.
If you would like please visit her and read her loving blog.
