Back from Tennessee

Wed, 21 Mar 2007 08:25:41 -0700

We got back Monday night. Hopefully, we can stay put for a few days! I had a great time in TN. Below are pictures of Miss Kitty -- one with my greatnephew (doesn't she look thrilled -- he's "just petting her cause hers so cute") and one with her favorite toys -- ponytail holders!! She arranged them like that while Daddy and I were gone.

Made it to TN on Wednesday -- Roger's in NC doing a coin show for his company. Today was the hearing for Fears. I'll try to update, or get Roger to update his, as soon as we find out a result. I have no computer at Daddy's so I have sneak time in here and there at friends' houses, my niece's house, etc. I'll post some Miss Kitty in TN pictures soon. ...

Roger at the United Victims Rally!

...

I lost....

Tue, 13 Mar 2007 12:19:40 -0700

2 pounds! Even though I made some BAD choices -- patty melt, fried eggs, french fries!!! As you can tell, I stopped by and weighed today! ...

Back from Oklahoma -- Off to Tennessee and beyond

Tue, 13 Mar 2007 08:29:54 -0700

We got back from OK Sunday night, now it's off to Tennessee for me and to North Carolina (for a coin show) for Roger. I'm hitching along, since he has to come within 30 miles of my Dad's house to get to Charlotte. I'll get to visit while he works.

We went back to the casino Saturday night in OK, and between the 2 visits, came out ahead over $1000 -- this has never, ever happened to us the few times we have been to casi ...

Cherokee Casino

Fri, 09 Mar 2007 15:42:11 -0800

Today, in the midst of errands and name tags, we took about an hour or so to visit the Cherokee Casino here in Sallisaw. We split one hundred dollars -- we played slots -- Roger won a little over $400 and I won a little over $200 ...

Here in Sallisaw, OK

Thu, 08 Mar 2007 12:59:24 -0800

We are in Sallisaw for the United Victims rally. We got in about 8:30 last night. Slept a little late -- one of the reasons we got here last night, so we could have some time to recoup. We, especially Roger, have been going full blast for the past couple of weeks. I'm excited and nervous about the rally. Of course, one benefit is that it is like a mini family reunion. Most of the out of towners will arrive tomorrow. One of Roger ...

Shirts for Roger.....

Mon, 05 Mar 2007 11:14:08 -0800

Roger needed 2 French Blue button-down collar pinpoint oxford dress shirts -- in his size, which I shan't reveal -- nothing too specific, ya know. It took me almost 2 hours of searching to find them -- but I finally did and on sale!!!!!!!! ...

Weight Watchers result

Fri, 02 Mar 2007 11:34:25 -0800

I actually gained 0.2 pounds!!! They said it was probably water weight, as my supper last night contains quite a bit of sodium....just gotta keep slugging along! ...

My brain is tired!

Thu, 01 Mar 2007 13:48:07 -0800

Today has been busy! First, there were tornados in the area. That had Roger calling and making sure I knew where to go -- bless his heart. Then there were United Victims calls and emails -- all for a good cause. Then, I have done 2 tax returns for friends -- not complicated, Thank Go ...

Drift....

Tue, 27 Feb 2007 18:18:37 -0800

Prince certainly did rock!!! Especially when I was much, much younger!!!

...

Prince...

Tue, 27 Feb 2007 15:33:22 -0800

I had forgotten how much I like Prince -- the Super Bowl halftime show reminded me. So I downloaded a few of his songs today:

Let's Go Crazy

Little Red Corvette

Delirious

I Would 4 U

4 The Tears In Your Eyes

...

Housework....

Mon, 26 Feb 2007 14:59:06 -0800

On the WW plan, housework is an activit -- maybe that will motivate me to finally get the house clean!!

...

Good Afternoon!

Sun, 25 Feb 2007 10:37:32 -0800

Went to the movies yesterday--We saw The Number 23. Roger wasn't real thrilled with it, but I liked it. It is kinda hard to follow, so don't go the the restroom. I didn't get popcorn, but I did get Raisinettes -- but I only ate 10! All in all, a very good day!

Can you believe..

Fri, 23 Feb 2007 19:29:08 -0800

I started WW today----see below. I have reserved some of my points for "Adult" beverage!! Is that crazy or what???? ...

First Weight Watchers meeting today

Fri, 23 Feb 2007 12:55:25 -0800

Went to my first WW meeting today. Nice group of people. Think "skinny" thoughts for me!!!!! ...

Expiration date....

Thu, 22 Feb 2007 11:06:41 -0800

I was getting dressed (yup at 1 in the afternoon) and looked down at my deodorant and saw the expiration date --- Dec 8 2201. That's some dang powerful stuff in there if it will keep almost 200 years!!! ...

My great-nephew...and my nephew

Tue, 20 Feb 2007 14:33:48 -0800

My great-nephew, Nathan (3 years old), below was in a drowning accident in July of last year. He was not breathing when he was pulled from the pool. After 2 weeks in the hospital and 6 weeks of intensive therapy -- speech, physical and occupational -- he was left with no permanent damage -- Thank God! Today, his mother (my niece) called my father all worried--told him Nathan had replasped--wouldn't wake up except to sip Sprite, fever, etc. R ...

1 gigabyte.....

Tue, 20 Feb 2007 11:18:06 -0800

I was listening to my little iPod Shuffle and realized that this little thing hardly bigger than a postage stamp has as much storage as my first computer! I remember my boss at the time (1995) saying that nobody could use all that space!!!!!!!!!! ...

Thanks to all

Mon, 19 Feb 2007 12:25:30 -0800

Thanks to all who have welcomed me so warmly to this internet community. I've never blogged before, so it is hard to think of things that other people might be interested to read. Work on United Victims' March 10th rally is moving along -- slowly. We may be able to get a bloodmobile there -- I'm waiting to hear back. I'm starting Weight Watchers this week -- Roger's been on an Atkins type diet and has lost a good deal, but I can' ...

Computer monopolizing

Sun, 18 Feb 2007 16:19:26 -0800

My hubby has been hogging the computer all weekend. But it is for a good cause -- he is "Mad As Hell" -- check out his blog under my blogroll. I leave you with a sunny, green picture for all those stuck in snow. It's my dad in his garden late last spring.

...

Now I know

Fri, 16 Feb 2007 15:42:58 -0800

I didn't realize the font size was so small at default settings. So therefore, my first two posts were teeny tiny -- sorry!

PS....this is my FAT cat Miss Kitty!

...

A great book.....

Fri, 16 Feb 2007 15:17:59 -0800

I recently read The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini -- it is an extremely touching novel of a doomed friendship of two boys in Afghanistan....it gives details to the history of Afghanistan in the past 30 years -- from the last days of the monarchy, to the Soviet invasion and the atrocities of the Taliban. I bought with some skeptic thoughts, but it is a really engrossing book. ...

Here I go....(deep breath!)

Fri, 16 Feb 2007 15:10:57 -0800

Here I go -- I'm creating a blog! ...
