Coconut Pie

My husband loves coconut pie and so after 15 years I finally made him one for his birthday.  I took this picture because I wanted to be able to remind him that i did make one. I may not ever make another one but he can remember what it looked like. I have to admit it doesn't look pretty but it did taste good.

Just Rambling

School is out and I am enjoying not having to get up at 6 am. I miss just picking up and going where I wanted. Now that I also have my 4 year old grandson it makes it a little difficult to go just whenever and wherever.
Well Scotty won the American Idol and I have to say that he has that great deep voice. And on Dancing with the Stars Hines and Kim won. I was rooting for them to win. I thought that he was a pretty good dancer. I was surprised that kirstie lasted as long as she did.

I saw this movie and it was pretty good. My daughter treated me to this for Mother's Day.

The next one to see is Pirates of the Carribean

Well going to go for now.

Here I Am Again

Here I am again contemplating what it is I want out of life. I feel like there has to be more that life has to offer. I am unemployed and I stay at home with an allowance. I am used to having a paycheck and it is about to drive me crazy not having any money. I have a Down Syndrome daughter and it is very difficult finding someone who will watch her. i received a comment a while back from someone who was very nasty about handicapped children. It made me angry so I didn't post it. If you've never been around handicapped children you just don't know the unconditional love they give you.
Well enough about that
I hope everyone is having a good life. You know when I was younger I never even thought about the future and what I wanted to do. Now I find that I would love to travel and see different countries. I do not regret my life because I have four wonderful children, two grandsons and another one on the way.  I guess I am bored with nothing to do. Maybe I am feeling sorry for myself. I just feel like something is missing. Oh well maybe I will figure it out and then I can do something about.
I was separated a while back and I enjoyed being independant, come and go as I please, not to have to listen to anyone griping. Maybe I just miss that who knows.
I am going to go for now and I will talk to you later.

I Love My Job

I work as a nurse at a nursing home and I love my residents. They have lived fascinating lives. I asked one female resident where are all the good men. She told me that  they were already married. But if I was to get a man then I need to find one with money because if I had to put up with a man then I need to get something out of it. I just LMAO. She told me she was married for 11 years and she told me after Katrina they got her for abandonment because she left her husband. One of my fellow nurse passed her door the other day and her gown was hiked up and my friend went in and covered her up and she told my friend that there isn't anyone who would want an 80 year cooter. My friend told me that and I just died laughing.. A lot of my people have alzheimers in various degrees which is sad to see but you can still see their personality. I just love them. They like to give me a hug and I hug them in return. They even tell me that they love me. I pick and play with them and they love it and they do the same to me. Well I have to get up early to go to work so I am going to go for now. I'll talk to you later.

Living The Single Life

I have been living on my own for several months now. While it is hard financially it is great. I love the feeling of being free, going where and when I want. I don't miss the third degree when I want to go somewhere. I am at a point in my life that if I meet someone in  the future or not it is good. I have my thirteen year old daughter that lives with me and she is a comfort for me. I am sitting here writing this and watching The Ghost Whisperer which happens to be my favorite show. I love my apartment and where I live. I don't have to cut grass and I have a swimming pool which I don't have to upkeep. Well I guess I am going to go for now but I will be back.

Revamping

I am going to revamp my page start speaking what is on my mind. I have been separated a month now and I am revamping myself also. I am enjoying being on my own. It is difficult in gettings budgeted right now but I will get it. Well I'm going to go now because I have to go to the store. Talk to you later.

Think Long and Hard

It is finally hitting me that being on my own is harder than I thought. I have to worry that I am going to pay my rent and utilities. It is stressful. In fact I have actually been sick over it, I went to the doctor today because I have been feeling like my heart is going to pop out of my chest, dizziness and nausea. He said it was stress so now I am going to cymbalta and something for dizziness and nausea. I also went to see the movie Avatar today and it was good.
Anyone thinking about leaving their husbands needs to really think hard about it because it is no picnic when you realize that everything depends on you now.
I was not in an abusive marriage, I just wanted different things out of life but I still love him and have for twenty years. If I had been in an abusive relationship then I would be relieved not to be in that situation again.
Well I gotta go for now
Talk to you later gator

I'm On My Own

Well I am finally on my own. It seems like all I do is work. I have my two sons and my daughter plus my sister living with me in my new home. I am living a lot closer to work.which is great gas wise. I also have my grandson here every two weeks. It is a peaceable split which is good when it concerns the children but in a way it is hard.

I saw this and I thought it was a pretty neat ice sculpture
Well I'm going to go for now

Grandchildren What A Blessing

I don't know if anyone remembers about me talking about not seeing my oldest grandson. Well my daughter in law has decided to let my son keep Zachary for extended periods of time. Right now he is with his mother and I miss that boy. He turned 3 this past December. He calls me nana because my mother is known to everyone as grandma and it was just to confusing.

I hope everyone is enjoying their grandchildren because you never know what might happen.

The Joke Is On Me

The other day my husband was late so he had to drive himself to work that day. Anyway he called me later to tell that he had stopped at a station and there was an ambulance there but left right before him. He told that he noticed that a lunch box had fallen out of the ambulance. He stopped to pick it up and looked inside to notice a toe in it. He called 911 to tell them about it. He asked me if I knew he they called and I said no. He said they called the tow truck.

It wasn't until he said that I realized he was pulling a joke on me. I told you got me good. I should have realized that the ambulance would not be carrying a toe in a lunch box but I wasn't really thinking about it.

Well I thought that I would share that about the joke being on me.
So long and Happy Halloween

Parick Swayze Will Not Be Forgotten

I was on my way to work this morning and I heard on the radio about Patrick Swayze passing away yesterday.
I remember the first time I saw him was in the North and South series. I thought he was one good looking man. I was trying to decide if I had a favorite movie but I don't think I do. I just had to write something about him. I will miss seeing any new movies . I am going to go now I am tired. If anyone has a favorite movie it would be interesting to hear from you.

Dan Ackroyd and Crystal Head

Yes this is me with Dan Ackroyd. He happened to be in my home area promoting his new Vodka called Crsytal Head. Up above you can see where he autographed a bottle for me. I also included the front of the bottle. It looks like a skull. I brought my daughter Shannon with me but she wouldn't let me get a picture of her with Dan Ackroyd. He is very nice in person. I enjoyed meeting him. I still haven't opened the bottle yet. I think I might just keep it like it is and not open it.

Well going to go for now.

Digital Scrapbooking Help

I have found that I have an interest in scrapbooking and so i have started to make some scrapbooks. But I want to learn how to make my own kits. I don't have photoshop for one reason it is expensive and to put it simply I can't afford it. I want to learn how to 3d graphics to add to my designs. If anyone out there knows about this I would appreciate any information you want to pass along. Well talk to you later.

Entrecard What A Shame

First I want to say that I had a great Easter although the weather could have cooperated better.

I have been gone for awhile and since I have gone there have been changes with Entrecard. I have read and watched what other people had to say about it and I have to say that I agree with some of them.

I have all these paid ads to be approved or rejected and the sad thing is that I have never seen them before. They don't drop on your site. I will not approve of paid ads on my sites unless they pay with credits like it is was when it first started out.

What I am tempted to do is make my own list of sites that I like to visit and drop Entrecard altogether but the thing about that is that I would never get to see the great new ones coming up. I would like to hear your opinion on this. I loved Entrecard when it first started because it was a great way to see all these great blogs that I would never known existed before.

Well I guess I am done with my ranting so I guess I am going for now.
I think it is a shame that what started out so great is turning out to be just like any other paid advertising site.

My Mini Vacation

We went on a mini vacation to Talladega, Al to visit my stepdaughter and on the way back we stopped at the Bass Pro Shop and it was just fascinating inside. There was a fireplace with couches surrounding it so that you can sit down and rest. I have put some of the pictures from it in this post.

My favorite was the deer drinking the beer oh that might have been a magarita. I also took photos of the scenery as we drove up there. We drove up on Saturday and came back on Sunday. While we were there we went to an auction which is a first for me. We wound up buying a chair, dresser with mirrors, gun rack, a big picture and a waffle iron. We drove up in my car and so we had to call my stepson to come in his brand new truck to come and bring it home.

I just wanted to share so I guess I'll go for now.

My Grandsons Colin and Zachary

Zachary will be 3 in December Colin will be 1 in June

I think I have the cutest grandsons. I don't get to see Zachary like I want. His mother won't bring him around until she and my son are divorced and have papers. Hopefully that won't be to much longer. As you can see the dates in the pictures that is when I saw them last. Colin's mother finally let my son Pat get to keep him for that weekend. I had not seen him but once since he was born. He is supposed to get him for this weekend too. We will see. It is after 11 at night here so I am going to go for now.

Photo Of The Beach On The Gulf Coast

Shannon's Day At The Beach

This photo was taken last year and soon the beach will be full with people. I know these photos are old but the beach is eternal because it stays the same.

I lost the cord to hook my camera to my computer to download pictures. I wonder if you can put the card from the camera into the computer and upload that way. If you can I will let you know.

Well so long for now
