Blog Love Award

I received this award from Cathy at Wives With Knives,
Thank you Cathy, I really appreciate this. I just love getting awards!!!

Because I love everyone on my blog roll, I at first I thought that I would do a SmilingSal, and hand it over to everyone that I follow, and to everyone who has ever commented on any of my posts. Then, I had a change of heart. I think that some awards are extra special, and deserve some extra thought, (just my opinion here) as to who they are passed on to - sooooooooooooo, I am awarding this one to:

Jientje at Heaven In Belgium: I wish that I had 1/10th of this woman's talent! She does it all - Gourmet Cooking, Lace Making, Photography, Tour Guide etc. etc.

Robynn at Robynn's Ravings, Katie at Tatersmama, and Queenie at The Queens Blog: Because they almost always leave me laughing until my sides ache!

Becky at Becky and Her Babies: Because she's my friend and I love her (and she has a crazier family than I do) - make SURE that you read her post "Stranger Than Fiction"!

Marni at It's A Pug's Life: Oooooh, how I love when she has a Punkin and One-Eyed Jack post!!!

Sara at GitzenGirl: Needs no explanation - just go there and read.


Aaaaaaaaaaaw shoot - I can't do this...I love you ALL, and your comments are truly the highlight of each and every day.
So, to everybody on my blog roll - come and get your award!

Hugs, Kisses, and very best Wishes!

What's IN A Name?

Linnea over at her NeaBear did this fun meme and I decided to try it here too.
Just follow the instructions to find your name. Have fun!

Here is mine.

To find your ROCK STAR NAME take your first pet name and current car – Metno Equinox

To find your GANGSTA NAME take your favorite ice cream flavor and your favorite cookie - Black Jack Cherry Bordeaux

YOUR DETECTIVE NAME? Your favorite color and favorite animal - Green Dog

Want to know your SUPERHERO NAME? Just add the word "The" plus your 2nd favorite color, and your favorite drink - The Lavender Coke

Your NASCAR NAME. Take the first names of your grandfathers – Jim Wesley

TV WEATHER ANCHOR NAME? Just take your 5th grade teacher’s last name and add a major city that starts with the same letter – Don't Know Denver

Of course, if you find me in witness protection I will assume it was because you were using your SPY NAME. Add your favorite season or holiday to your favorite flower – Christmas Rose

Find your CARTOON NAME by taking your favorite fruit, and an article of clothing you’re wearing right now, then add "ie" or "y": Banana Robey

Your ROCKSTAR TOUR is heading across the northeast - it's called "The" plus your fave hobby or craft, your fave weather element plus the word "Tour" - The Blogging Rain Tour

That was fun. Go ahead and grab this if you want to give it a go.

What Kind of Shopper Are You?

You love to get things as cheaply as possible. You live for sales.
It's partially because you like to save money, but it's also because you like the thrill of finding a fabulous deal.

Of all the types, you tend to shop frequently, but rarely buy. You keep an eye on prices.
Brand names are not that important to you. You know how to have style without collecting designer tags.

I really don't care a lot about shopping. I would rather shop on line than go to stores - BUT - I do have fun going to Goodwill with Becky. You never know what you will find. After a long morning at the hospital for an EKG and then going across town to the lab that accepts my insurance (and getting stuck 5 times and then having the tech get out the "butterfly"), we stopped by Goodwill on our way to Olive Garden. I CAN'T WAIT to show you what I got...but I've got to get to a computer that can read my memory card. You guys are gonna LOVE IT!! Stay tuned....

Grandmothers

I received this in an email, and jut had to pass it along. Some quotes are funny, some are sweet, and just about ALL are accurate!!!

Grandmas are moms with lots of frosting. ~Author Unknown

What a bargain grandchildren are! I give them my loose change,
and they give me a million dollars' worth of pleasure. ~Gene Perret

Grandmothers are just 'antique' little girl s. ~Author Unknown

Perfect love sometimes does not come until the first grandchild.
~Welsh Proverb

A grandmother is a babysitter who watches the kids instead
of the television. ~Author Unknown (AND usually does it for free! ~ LIBBY)

Never have children, only grandchildren. ~Gore Vidal

Becoming a grandmother is wonderful. One moment you're just
a mother. The next you are all-wise and prehistoric. ~Pam Brown


Grandchildren don't stay young forever, which is good because
Grandfathers have only so many horsy rides in them. ~Gene Perret

When grandparents enter the door, discipline flies out the window.
~Ogden Nash

Grandma always made you feel she had been waiting to see just
you all day and now the day was complete. ~ Marcy DeMaree

Grandmas never run out of hugs or cookies. ~Author unknown

Grandmas hold our tiny hands for just a little while, but our
hearts forever. ~Author Unknown

If I had known how wonderful it would be to have grandchildren,
I'd have had them first. ~Lois Wyse

My grandkids believe I'm the oldest thing in the world. And after
two or three hours with them, I believe it, too. ~Gene Perret

If becoming a grandmother was only a matter of choice, I should
advise every one of you straight away to become one. There is
no fun for old people like it! ~Hannah Whithall Smith

It's such a grand thing to be a mother of a mother - that's why the
world calls her grandmother. ~Author Unknown

Grandchildren are God's way of compensating us for growing
old. ~Mary H. Waldrip

You do not really understand something unless you can explain
it to your grandmother. ~Proverb

An hour with your grandchildren can make you feel young again.
Anything longer than that, and you start to age quickly. ~Gene Perret

The best baby-sitters, of course, are the baby's grandparents. You
feel completely comfortable entrusting your baby to them for long
periods, which is why most grandparents flee to Florida. ~Dave Barry (If you're from Florida in the first place...where do you "flee" to? ~ Libby)

I wish I had the energy that my grandchildren have - if only for
self-defense. ~Gene Perret

Grandmother-grandchild relationships are simple. Grandmas
are short on criticism and long on love. ~Author Unknown

Nobody can do for little children what grandparents do.
Grandparents sort of sprinkle stardust over the lives of
little children. ~Alex Haley

I'm a Carnation.

You are down to earth and grounded.
You tend to be more traditional than trendy.
Your confidence gets you through anything.
People trust you and are very loyal to you.

What flower are you? Find out HERE.

This is all for today, as I realize that I probably put most of you to sleep, a third of the way though yesterday's post. What was I thinking?
Ya'll just need to tell me when to shut up!!!

Day # 4 - Do You Really Want More?

I've been assured that you all won't forget me, but I've decided that I need to throw out some "bait" to make sure that you don't get away. I think that my best bet might be to use the pity angle, so I'll tell you all a little secret...I may be here in warm sunny Florida for quite a while. At this moment my medical records are sitting on my orthopedist's desk, waiting for review. If he feels that I'm stable enough, he will order my lab work and EKG. If I can breeze through those, without having to get cardiac approval...I'm going to go ahead and have my left knee operated on. This is long overdue, as I've put it off for almost 2 years now.

I will keep you posted, as I get word. Hey if you stick around, and I have the surgery, I'll take pictures and post them! Won't that be fun?

AND NOW....DRUM ROLL PLEASE...

A Week In My Life Continues!

Today is a bits and pieces day. Little things that I love...and things that make my days easier. I had started a draft before our sudden departure from home. I had some of the pictures uploaded, but hadn't added text. Soooooooo, I'll work with what I have.

See that lusious chocolate up there? Ummmmmm!. Terries Whack and Unwrap Chocolate Oranges. Like the dark chocolate best. You can find them everywhere, around Christmas time, but they aren't so easy to find the rest of the year. Soooooooo, when you find these babies STOCK UP!

The other end of the eating spectrum - Green Giant Frozen Vegetables.
I couldn't live without 'em.
I especially like the rice pilaf, and super sweet corn, and the broccoli florets, and the green beans with almonds, and the honey glazed carrots, and the.....list goes on and on.

This is the cast of Corner Gas. It is a Canadian Sitcom. If you haven't seen this bunch of kooky characters from Dog River, you're missing out. It takes about 3 episodes to get "into it", but once you do You're Hooked!!!
(P.S. - my husband has turned into Oscar and Big J is Hank!)

My Swiffer Sweeper Vac, makes my life soooooo much easier. I run this baby around the house everyday, and it keeps, dog hair and dust bunnies under control. Since I started using mine about 3 years ago, it has cut the need to mop by a good 2/3rds. No joke! Mine has just about given up the ghost, so I'm hoping that I get a new one for Valentines Day.

I got a Blackberry Curve as an early Christmas Gift this year. LOVE it! I can text to my hearts content. It has a GPS system, and I can blog surf while riding in the car, or waiting as the pharmacy or at the doctors office. I don't know how I lived without it.

Here are the medications that make my life liveable. I am so grateful for the technology that has made modern science what it is today. I am so thankful to my doctors for the care that they give. I truly would not be alive today, if it weren't for skilled EMT's, R.N.'s,dedicated doctors, and medication!

Maybe I'm just a nut, but I find this really funny. You all already now that I have sleep disorders, and take medicine for them. See all the bottles with the red labels? These are warnings, that the medication may make me drowsy! Well DUH! (In defense of my pharmacist friend - they have to put those warnings on there.)

Oh shoot, the dryer just buzzed - I need to take the clothes out and hang them up. So excuse me for a minute...talk amongst yourselves. I'll give you a topic...if you are riding in an elevator and the cable snaps...If you jump up in the air the moment before the elevator hits the bottom, will you come away unharmed?

Okay, I'm back. Thanks for waiting!

I love my camera. I have a new model than this one. Mine is an SX10IS (10 Mega Pixels). This is the camera that IvoryHut uses - she has her own blog and is a contributer to Pioneer Woman!
It's really just a glorified point and shoot, but it takes fantastic photo's, and is sooooooo easy to use.

Memory Manager 2.0 is the program that I use, to keep my photo's organized. I can't say enough good things about it!!! It's inexpensive, easy to use, and does a lot more than just "organize" my digital photo's - but the organization part is what I want to talk about today!

Here is a picture of my home screen.

Above is the time line, which is one of the features of this program. When pictures are uploaded into the program, they are automatically sorted for you, as to the year. As you can see, I've got a good head start for this year. I don't know what I was doing in 2002, cause I sure didn't take many pictures that year.

Here's where it gets really good. You can create your own "Sort Boxes and Folders", to place your pictures in. As you can see, I have a Box for Events and in that box, I have numerous Folders. One of those folders is for Birthdays. Now ~ I love this ~ you can also see that I have a Box for family and then in that box I have folders for each family member. I can take each photo that I've uploaded and put it into numerous folders in different boxes. Example: In the birthday folder in the even box, I have photo's of a birthday party for Alton. I've put those same pictures in the Folder for Alton in the Family Box. This feature makes it sooooooooo easy to go back and find your photo's. There is also an editing feature, that allows you to turn photo's, crop them, adjust lighting levels, etc. etc.
If any of you are interested in this program, please go HERE! This is my friend Tammy's site. She is a Creative Memories consultant. You can find out more information on the Memory Manager Program in the Digital Scrap Booking section!

This is my calendar station. As you can see, I have a little basket with colored pens, and a thingy to keep pictures and business cards, and invitations on. What the heck is that thing called? Go ask Martha Stewart, she can tell you what it's called. It's a fancy bulletin board. Any-hoo, I've got everything I need here, to keep me on track.

I use the FlyLady method of cleaning and keeping my home neat and orderly. If you haven't yet heard about FlyLady, you are in for a treat. Please go HERE, to enter the world of clean and clutter free.

Here is my Daily - Keep It Clean - schedule. It may look like a lot, but it really isn't. When I follow this plan, I easily keep my home neat and clean. It becomes a habit after a very short while, and frees up so much time.

Here is my Weekly - Keep It Clean ~ Schedule. This is the more time consuming (but still very reasonable!!!) heavier cleaning duties.
I'm serious about this folks. The system WORKS! Check it out. She has items that are available for purchase, if you want them, BUT - the program basics are free. All you have to do, is go to her site and start reading. I will tell you that I love her Calendar Stickers and buy them all the time.

And last, for today...My Princess House Miracle Dish. I have 4 or 5 of these. I bake entire meals in these baking dishes. They always come out perfectly AND they are easy clean up. In another post, I'll show you some of my other Princess House goodies. Until then, you can check out what they have to offer HERE. This is another great friend who is a Princess House Consultant/Manager.

Ta-Ta for now - You know that I love ya!

Hi

Hi everybody - I'm busy working on a post for today, but need to find the links for a couple of things. So stop by later in the day - PLEASE!

I'm "Jones'N"

People - I'm going nuts. Not being able to blog and blog surf is causing major stress. I find that my fingers are tapping out messages on kitchen counters. I think that I may have to "lift" someone's laptop (sneaking it out under my shirt), so that I can sit under the covers with a flashlight in order to "get my fix". I've got to work something out, cause...I MISS YOU!!!

Hi From Florida

Just a quick note to thank you all for your prayers and good wishes. Steve, Percy and I had an uneventful drive here, and arrived safely at around 9 last night.

Vicki had a wonderful send off, this morning, from family and friends. It was a lovely service, and I'm so glad that Steve and I were able to attend.

I have been hugged by so many people today, and I can tell that it felt sooooooo good! I've laughed and shed a few tears, and talked until I've run out of breath.

Off to see grand children and grand children.

Signing off with love for you all...

Off To Florida

Just a quick note to let you all know that my dear sweet wonderful husband, has rearranged his schedule, so that I can go to Florida for my friends funeral. He just let me know, so I have to run around like a mad woman, in order to get a couple of loads of laundy washed, and get my bags packed. Even though the reason for this trip, is a sad one, I am so looking forward to seeing family and friends!

I have a couple of BFF's in Lakeland, one who is going to "put us up" for a couple of days - THANK YOU SUSAN and BOB - and other friend who doesn't know I'm coming yet - Yeah BECKY - I mean YOU! Becky is a blogaholic too, so I'm sure that she will let me use her computer, so that I can let you all know what I'm up to.

I'm sure that many of you have had to get out your tissues, cause you're so upset that I won't be finishing with my "series" this week, (yes all 2.3 of you), but I promise that I'll pick up where I left off, as soon as I get back.

It's so great to have friends, and so great to have family, but to have Friends and Family...
...that's a true blessing, and I am so thankful.


Please keep us in your prayers as we travel tomorrow, and say an extra one for Vicki's family.

Yippeeeeeeeeee It's Day #3

Day Three ~ Family

How can I spend a week talking about my life, without including my family?

I can't!

I'll start with Mimi and Papa, since they are responsible for Steve and I getting together.
They have just celebrated their 36th wedding anniversary. This picture was taken in March of 2007.

For those of you who don't know the story ~ Our parents were both divorced from their first spouses. They met at a Parents Without Partner meeting. The rest is history. They dated, Steve and I dated...and then in January of 1973 my father married my husbands mother. Eight months later, Steve and I were married. Not a day goes by, that I don't thank God for bringing Steve into my life. I love him more, each and every day!

I think that he likes me just a little bit too. As you can see, if I nibble on his ear, he'll follow me anywhere. This picture was taken in 2003.

This was the last time that we were all together.
Kids, kids-in-law, girlfriends, and grand children.
Since this picture was taken we have finally had some more grand daughters.
There is just one up there. Can you find her?

Here are our kids. I think that they are a pretty good look'n bunch! All of our kids are red heads (the first 7) or blondes, but every now and then, one of them has to go and change their hair color - to black. And it's the boys who do it. Look around and you will see who can't leave "well enough" alone!

Stephen
Stephanie
Simon
Sarah
Suzanne
Seth
Sariah-Lynn
Solomon
Sonnie
& Joey

Steve and the boys 2003.

Me and the girls in 2003.

These are the kids who were married (at the time) and their children.
Since this was taken, Simon married his sweetheart, and they are expecting their first child in late March or early April.

Our kids are spread all over, from Florida to Wyoming. I travel to see them as often as possible, and most of them have come to see us in our new home. Steve doesn't get to travel with me very often, but he comes along whenever he can.

I couldn't do a post about family, and not include my puppies.
Look at those eyes. How could anyone NOT fall in love with this face.
Gracie was adopted from the Lakeland SPCA. She is so sweet.
Those goofy ears. One always stays "stationary" while the other one moves around listening for anything of importance...like...well anything!

I decided to include this picture of George with Miley.
Sadly, for me, Miley has gone to Rainbow Bridge.
She is missed every single day.

Look at George - see that gap in the middle of his bottom teeth?
He knocked that tooth out, when ramming into our front door one day.
He didn't like the idea of my leaving, so he got the idea into his head, that if he ran into the door hard enough, it would open and he could run out and get me. OUCH!
I never claimed that he was brilliant...just lovable.

So, tomorrow is another day - ya'll come back and see me.

Day #2 - Where it Happens

The first thing that I have to do today...is say
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD"!
I have two of the coolest pictures of him, that I wanted to include in today's posts - But darn it, I couldn't get blogger to upload them last night, or this morning. I don't know whats going on. I'll keep trying to fiddle with it. I'll do a post one day next week featuring my dad. I'll give him a call this evening so that we call sing happy birthday to him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here is where I spend a lot of time. If I'm going to be totally honest, I have to admit that I have become a computer junkie. Hello, My name is Libby, and I'm a blogaholic. I guess it isn't so bad. I don't drink. I don't smoke, I don't use illegal drugs. I don't gamble. I don't go to movies. I don't shop a lot (although I could really do some damage shopping on line, if my husband didn't keep a handle on me)!

I try to keep my desk neat and clean - isn't it pretty! Steve bought this desk for me right before we moved. We got it from some dear friends - Hi Stephanie and Biz - and I think we got it for a steal! My only complaint is that the desktop is a little too high for me to comfortably use the mouse. I forget to pull out the the "shelf" to prop my arm on!

I love index cards. Love, love, love them! This little box doesn't seem very special, but I'll tell ya - it's my brain!. I keep all kinds of info in this box. (It might not seem like there is a lot in there, but remember I have other boxes in other places around the house.) I have cards that tell me where things are packed away. See the little black thingie right in front of the "D" tab. I have all of my Christmas "cards" clipped together. Each card has a number that corresponds to a storage box. On the card, I've listed everything that is inside that numbered box. Did I explain that so that I'm understood?

I have been having so much fun keeping track of where my "visitors" come from. I keep cards for each state, and country (with cities), that pop up on my live traffic feed. I actually preferred Maploco (cause it kept a 24 hour record of visitors) but my map crashed, and I haven't been able to get it "back up". Any body got and suggestions as to what happened?

I also have cards with lists of sites that I want to check out on a rainy day.
AND THEN - I have really important stuff, like my recipe for homemade ear drops for George. Because my brain doesn't always work right, I have many of the cards cross-referenced, so I'm always able to find what I'm looking for.

Here is the box, closed and tucked into the corner, along with my trusty Fly Lady timer. NOTE* there will be more about Fly Lady in a later post. I need the timer, so that I don't burn dinner, leave clothes in the dryer too long, forget to eat (yeah right, like that's ever going to happen), or fail to be ready to leave on time, if I need to go somewhere.

Here are some of my hanging files. They contain all kinds of wonderful things, like:

1. Newspaper clippings, magazine articles, and "random thoughts" - to use for future posts.
2. Photos, that are waiting to be framed.
3. Printer paper - both plain white and decorated, along with envelopes.
4. Computer related "tutorials", and keyboard shortcuts.
5. Worksheets for all kinds of stuff, that I'll never get around to filling out.

My printer - oh I do like my computer. What did we do without them?
You can't see it, but just to the left of my desk, under some of the pictures of my adorable grand children, is my photo printer. I can go through more photo paper and ink, than anyone would think possible. I'm one of those people who wants a REAL photo in my hands! Just having pictures stored in folders in the computer isn't enough for me.

Speaking of photos...see the photo on the monitor above. That's Jientje's Blog. She is a wonderful photogtrapher. I have started an album with photos (with the photographers permission of course) of some of my favorite photos, taken by my bloggie freinds.

It's amazing how many wonderful women (okay and men, but male bloggers are "few and far between" when it comes to blogging) I've "met" through my blog surfing. I feel like I really know them, as if they were people that I grew up with. There are several people, - like Jientje, and Robynn, and Sharon - who are near in age to me, and that think so much like I do, that I feel like we could be sisters.

Others have similar interests - like my "dog people".

Speaking of dogs, I could never leave out my constant companion. Here is George, on his pillow next to The Desk. Wherever I go, my little buddy is only steps away. As I type now, he is snoring softly, but as soon as I get up, he will be on my heals. Gracie loves me too, but she is content to do "her own thing". She doesn't need to be near me all the time, like George does.

News Flash - the doctor's office just called (I'm working on this draft on Monday afternoon), apparently I have Hypothyroidism. They are calling in a script and assure me, that I should start feeling better in a couple of weeks. I'm so glad that there is really something else going on medically, and that I'm not just going crazy! Shame on you...I know what you were thinking...My craziness is not debatable - well maybe I'm a little crazy, but a little craziness suites me well.

Rise and Shine?

Well here we go. This is my life. I'll begin with the start of my day. Since I have sleep disorders...I take different drugs to help me get to sleep and stay asleep. They have been a Godsend. But - on the flip side - I'm kind of hung over in the mornings, so it takes me a while to get up and get moving. This is just fine with George, as he likes to sleep in. He is supposed to sleep at the end of the bed, but as soon as Steve is up (he's out of bed at 4:45 and off to work by 5:20) and off, George crawls up and snuggles with me.

This is what my bed looks like, after I've gotten up!

I wish! But seriously, I do make my bed everyday, and this is what it usually looks like.
I really do love my bedroom. It is peaceful. Not too big, not too small. It's just right!
You can see that I have a tropical theme going on here. I took all the photos that are on the walls. They were all taken in Hawaii. Steve loves Hawaii, and would jump at the chance to live there.

Here is one corner of the room.
All the plants are silk, as I have just the opposite of a green thumb.

This is the wall to the left of the door leading into the master bath. The shell leis are from our trips to Hawaii. If you look very carefully, in the photo, you can see my husband jumping off of Macho Rock at Waimea Beach, on Oahu.

This is the wall to the left of my bed. The picture on the left is Steve. He and Barry had just come in from surfing. All these photos were taken in Suzanne (one of our daughters) and Barry's (her husband) backyard. They lived in Punalu 'u for a couple of years while Barry was going to BYU Hawaii.

Here is another great picture, taken close to the shore line, in their backyard. This is looking out, I think, at Kahana Bay.

Here is my wonderful, comfy recliner chair. I spend a lot of time here. It's a great place to read. Sometimes when I'm having a rough night, I'll spend several hours in my chair (with my trusty heating pad and small down comforter), so that I don't disturb Steve. See those clunky pink slippers. My daughter Sariah-Lynn gave them to me. The have batteries in them and they vibrate when turned on. Heavenly!

This is the basket at the foot of my chair. As you can see, I still haven't sent out all my Christmas Cards. I'm working on it, and I may get them in the mail before summer. I keep my address book, steno pads, recipes from the newspaper, etc. etc. in this handy little basket. It looks like I've got a pair of gloves in there too. I need to shove them back in the pocket of my jacket...so excuse me a moment...talk amongst yourselves...I'll give you a topic..."should the legal driving age be moved from 16 to 37?"...okay I'm back.

Here's another basket that sits by my chair. It has assorted pads of paper, post it notes, crayons, book marks, index cards - I love index cards! - and other handy items.

A calendar, index card box, and pens are sitting on a small hanging file container. I have files for: 1. my coupons and weekly store adds, 2. articles that I've printed off the internet, 3. notes for the lessons that I teach on the second Sunday of each month.

On to the bathroom. Here is my spa tub. For me this is almost a must, as opposed to a nicety. Some nights, this is the only thing that keeps me sane, and able to climb into bed. ( If you scroll back up to the very first picture, you can see the steps that I need to use to get into the bed. I'm short - the bed is high, so the steps come in handy!)

Thankfully, we have hot water heaters on both sides of the house, so I can soak in this baby for for as long as I want, adding more hot water as needed. I usually come out after about an hour, looking all pruny and red as a lobster. Right now, I can still manage to get in and out of the tub - but, for safety reasons, I never get into the tub, unless Steve is home. At some point in the future, we will have to put in a "step in tub", but I'll keep using this one as long as I can.

The right side of the tub.

The left side of the tub.
Those fantastic towels were given to me as a going away gift (when we moved from Florida) from my friend, Eleanor. She didn't know that I had this shower curtain. The towels are almost an exact "negative" of the shower curtain.

There is a giant frosted glass window behind the tub. My husband swears that you can't see through it, but I couldn't take a bath until we had a curtain up, and this shower curtain fit perfectly! I'm sure if we had neighbors actually living in the house next door, they would be very grateful that they didn't have to risk getting a glimpse of my nekkid hiney !!!

Okay - so this how I start my day:

1. I force myself to get up.
2. Potty break.
3. Brush my teeth, and hobble to the computer.
4. Check my email and do my post for the day.
5. Blog surf til my butt goes numb and the dogs are begging for breakfast.
6. Feed the dogs and give them their morning meds ( Enalpril, Furosemide and Amitriptyline for George and Furosemide and Amitriptyline for Gracie ).
7. Convince the dogs that they don't need to go out again (Big J takes them out at 6:00 before he goes to school), until Seth is up.
8. Go back to the computer and recheck my email and blog surf.
9. Realize that it's almost noon, and I haven't eaten my breakfast or taken my medicine, so I fix myself a bowl of cereal, and take my medicine.
10. Recheck my email and blog surf some more.

Actually, I do try to throw in a load of laundry once in a while.

Later in the week, I will share with you all, my cleaning routine. Don't give me that look, you'll like it - I promise!

So that's the start to my day. Come back tomorrow if I haven't bored you to tears.

Hugs and Kisses!

P.S. In yesterdays post, I meant to say, that the doctor thinks that it might be Lupus, that's causing a lot of my problems. Hopefully she will have the results today or tomorrow. I've been having some weird symptoms ( like my face will start "burning" and sometimes my upper lip feels like it is going numb - and my nose turns bright red), and I'll fell better when I know what's going on.
Thanks for all your prayers and kind words.
