Who's a Stalker?

I'm a Stalker.....no, I'm serious....I stalk people
with blogs.  Dedicated people that actually do blog
every single day. 
They give me so much entertainment, and
sometimes education.

And what do I do in return....? I Stalk them.

Every single day I go into my own blog to hook
up to their blogs and you know what?....When they
don't have anything new.. I pout!

Now, I am the LAST person to do such a thing as
I am such a slacker when it comes to posting.
And yet.... I still do it!

To some of my favorite targets I must, with head hung low,
apologize for my very boorish behavior.  I take and take never
giving a thought to giving back...but their words are so insightful
and full of humor and just fun to read.. I can't stop myself.

I don't even want to stop myself.  Its fun and entertaining and gives me
the sense that I am a social being (which everyone knows I am NOT).

To Jenifer and Dawn and Tara and Jenny and Ree and Missy and Heidi and Nie and
cjane, I only wish I could sincerely apologize for my behavior, but I wont
because apologizing means I won't do it again.... AND I will!

As a matter of fact I plan to do a little blog surfing right now!
Don't say you haven't been warned.  bwaahaaahaaaa!

Ramblings of a traveling Spirit

TIME...What an interesting concept time is.....

For instance, how long has it been since my last post?

just a question

It's been awhile..I know

It isn't because there hasn't been stuff

to write about...

you know....good stuff!

We have had a new grandbaby since I last posted

a beautiful little boy, what a blessing!

and a son and his family moved back up here after getting a super duper job
with SkyWest.

My niece and her little fam have moved back home
after a long stint of being too far away from us.

We also found that we will be grandparents again
for the 12th time..... Man this NEVER gets old!!!!!

There have been many miles added to our frequent flyer
cards and also to the family truckster as we continue our
saga of meeting new and great people and seeing new
and greater places.

What a joy life can be..even with the challenges in life.
Without the challenges, the joy would never be so embraced.
What a strange contradiction that is.

Time can be a blessing or a curse depending on which side
of the aisle you are sitting on.  Mostly I think it is a blessing.
There is sooooo much to do and so little time to get it all
done in.  That is really why I haven't posted in so long....

If the truth be told.

Flying the Friendly Skies

My, how Time Flies!  It has been 2 months since I last posted anything
and I am feeling a bit discombobulated (sorry, I am sure the spelling is bad,
not a word I write all that often)

Travel has been my middle name over the past 58 days,
I think I slept in my own bed a total of 4 days in January.

Some of my time was spent on Leisure, I will confess to that,
but a great amount was also spent on business.
(you know the thing that pays the rent and keeps the lights on)

Fortunately my business gives me opportunity to stretch my mind and
spend time around people.
(Not something, if left to my own devices, I would find myself doing.)
And so I feel quite content with the way I have spent my time,
and also exhausted.

March will give me time to regroup and recuperate as we will be home
at least half the month. I only wish that March weather made the 'staying at
home' part a bit more pleasant.

I shouldn't really complain too loudly as the bulk of my time away was
spent in sunny climates with shirtsleeve temperatures. But don't worry
we spent our share of time in the blustery weather of Colorado and Utah.

I also have been in Spokane Washington where my horizons were broadened
and my mind paradigm was shifted as I learned all about being alkaline and
healthy.  May I say, Our bodies are truly miraculous things and what we do
to them can sometimes be nothing short of criminal.

It truly has been a remarkable 58 days and if only my lovely children and
grandchildren had been within arms reach it would have been a perfect
scenario, but that did make home draw me as a magnetic is drawn to
true north. 

I am hopeful that it will not be another 2 months before posting something

but I am making no promises!

Momza oh Momza oh where have you gone!

Happy New Year

Hi everyone, it is time to welcome In yet another new decade and I am pretty excited for what this new year holds in store.

For some reason I am very excited for this upcoming year. Maybe it is because a new grandchild is expected! And wonderful opportunities are just around every corner, and the anticipation is killing me.

I will also try to do a better job of keeping my blog up-to-date. Hey, that can be my new years resolution. Keeping my life better documented. What New Years resolutions are you making? care to share?

Auld Lang Syne

Hi all,
Christmas is officially over and I am secretly glad....don't get me wrong,I love Christmas and everything that comes along with that.  I love the family gatherings and the lights and the joy and happiness that people seem much more prone to display at Christmas time.  But.....it is time to move forward.  And that is exactly what we did.  We took down the REAL tree the day after Christmas because it had become so dry and as long as we were in the take down mode we moved on to the tree in the kitchen.  I love the tree that we put up in the kitchen, it is a full 9 feet and I decorate it to make me happy, but it has been up since the first of November (yes, you read that correctly) which meant it had done its job and did it well. Furniture was moved back in and tiny villages were packed away until next year.  I usually have a little bit of sadness when I undecorate after the holidays but it hasn't materialized.  Maybe that is because I have so much that I am looking forward to in this new year.  For one thing we have a new grandson coming the first part of February.  I also have a little trip to the tropics around the same time.  If 2011 is anything like 2010 it will race by so quickly that soon I will be pulling the tree up out of the basement and enjoying the holidays again.

Change is Good?

We are making a few changes around our house, not really a remodel but still holes are being made in walls and wire is being threaded.
It is a little disconcerting to me to make a hole (even a neat hole) in a perfectly good wall.


Sometimes you have to make things worse before you can make things better.
I guess the same thing can be said of a myriad of things.
Still, sometimes it feels that we live in a never ending construction zone.
Luckily Mr Darcy is a whiz at destroying things and then building them back up!
If only he had the time to finish his projects.
