The adventures of Louise made me smile!
Good Morning
Whos' got snow?
Not here - none just cold and damp out.
You know we all once stated: "What would our sailors think if they read this site? They think we only talk about them." My son - I think would just shake his head.
The only reason I remember what each of you say - I take notes.
Have to ay - I have been laughing out loud. Oh geez the visions of all the humping and I will never see "tinsel" the same again.
So sailors are a hunting. What has they bagged? Is that the correct term? My friend shared that her hubby got a goose.
About crying - anything that your sailor has done - eaten - listen too - and smells - can set you on a crying jag. If you knwo you are going to be in the public eye - wear something that says Navy Mom. When others look at you then - they just go - " Oh Navy Mom moment.", and not think your nuts.
I agree - get out t here and live. I am trying too.
Wish I had some gossip. I am in one of those dull moments
I need to get - mom has an bank appointment. Wish all a good day
hugs
Blondie... those are hysterical!
I know what ya mean about not being able to get it all done. My mind gets manic with ALL the things that NEED to be done BUT my body rebels and says "HELL no". There are times that I wish Ty Pennington and his EMHE staff would surprise me with a TOTALLY accessible house...but I'm not holding my breath!
I have a Christmas funny. It actually happened when I was a li'l kid.
we were having breakfast on Christmas morning and the cat meandered into the kitchen. He had a piece of tinsel hanging outta his bum!! THREE brothers AND my DAD all refused to touch it. My ma pulled out the tinsel. Thank GOD she was finished with the cooking ;D If ya want something done right, have a woman do it!!
Ang....do ya know how to make a hormone??
Don't pay her.... Ba dum bum...Thank you, Thank you.I am here till Friday.Enjoy the chicken parmigiana ;0
Robin, I so agree about getting out there and doing what you can while you can. I am already missing out on things I want to do because of my health. I am so fortunate that I had so many opportunities when I was younger, and yes, almost every one courtesy of the Navy!
Heck, making toast this morning was torture. I mean, toast? Who can't make toast?!
I have a friend who met her true love late in life. Neither of them were traditionally good looking, nor did they lead traditional lives. They were married a scant two years when he was killed by a drunk driver while helping a stranded motorist. She mourned, then took her savings and went on a European tour to glass factories and museums and to visit English relatives. Then she was hit by a train in Austria! It severed both her legs, but somehow they saved her. So now she is in a chair, yet she still goes to work, gets out to visit friends, and goes to Burning Man, which believe me, isn't easy for the able-bodied. She just can't see letting grief and her physical limits keeping her housebound and not doing what she loves. So when I am having a bad morning, I think of her and how she gets through her days, and I push myself just that little bit more.
Say YES! to living your life.
