1. The first rule of working in an office and getting along is respect my personal space.

2. Fried clams are good with tarter sauce!

3. When I think of carnivals I think of cotton candy, canny music, spinning rides that made me dizzy, silly games to play so you could win a cheap stuffed animal & great memories.

4. The Texas Bluebonnet my favorite spring flower.

5. Things on my desk include a bunch of papers, my computer that’s not working right, my poppets (I have four now!), and more odds & ends that will bore you to death.

6. Diverticulitis makes me wanna scream.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to watching movies with the hubby, tomorrow my plans include more of the same (it’s really exciting here right now, let me tell you! ) and Sunday, I want to enjoy visiting with my son and daughter-in-law who are coming to see me!

Please visit my dear friends:
Nita, Andie, EMelectric, Stacy, Jane, The Kool-Aid Mom, and Janet!

1. Rumor has it I went AWOL! Well that’s a stretch, I have been on a break though, call it medical leave, mini vacation (that’s stretching it ) or whatever you want, in other-words I needed the time off!!

2. While I was on my break I realized I had my Blog Anniversary! I’ve been blogging for 4 years now…..I had no idea I had so much to say! Thank you for indulging me!!!

3. My diverticulitis is still giving me fits, I have a colonoscopy scheduled for next Wednesday…fun times. I am NOT looking forward to that…but I hope to find out what is going on and how to get rid of it!

4. I don’t like to go into details, so I won’t. -) But this bout of illness has really kicked my butt to the point that I really am feeling defeated. It’s bad enough this time I’m not able to leave my house….that’s bad folks and really aggravating!

5. Since I’ve been housebound, I have been catching up on my movie watching, some of my favorites so far have been “Stardust,” and “Eagle Eye” though the last kinda freaked me out. If you haven’t seen it and you are a computer user, watch it…then see if you don’t wonder! LOL

6. I have “The Reader,” “Bolt,” and “Bedtime Stories” to watch next. So do you have any movies that you’d suggest for me?

7. Have I told you lately I want an iMac? Let me now then! I want a iMac!! I’m having to use my daughters laptop right now as my desktop is really messed up….I went to log on the other day and all my stuff was gone. Yep, my photos (thousands of them), files and programs all gone. Thankfully I have an external hard drive! I did kinda freaked though. I haven’t even tempted to figure it out.

8. Also doing a lot of reading, even re-reading books…do you do that?

9. Big shout out to my sister and brother-in-law who celebrated their 20th Anniversary this week!!! These two are a match made in heaven!

10. Speaking of anniversaries, my grandparents who are regular readers here (hi guys!) will be celebrating their 65th Anniversary in May!!!! Isn’t that amazing?! Our whole family, kids, grand-kids, and great-grandkids will all be getting together to celebrate this momentous occasion. It’s going to be a wonderful tribute to these two awesome people who are the foundation of our family.

11. I’m so looking forward to meeting the new little members of our family. We have had a mini baby boom and have had three additions that I haven’t met yet!

12. So have you heard about Swine Flu? Seriously, I understand the concern but come on! Don’t you think the media is the cause of the panic?
