Every day has some amount of “crap” in it. You can relate to that, can’t you? One day it’s just minor crap, like a bad hair day, or mild constipation… Or major crap, like a serious disease or a death in the family (no bad news right now thank God, sorry to worry you). I guess I’ve just been reflecting lately, being influenced by Steve and Jessica doing more writing on their blog, thought I’d give it another go too…

Start with the good news…(my heart is just bursting with joy!) a new grandbaby and 2 more on the way! I’m diggin’ doing the Grandma Korgie thing! (more on that later)

Catching a little bit of the president’s speech…hmmm somebody’s shoveling something, that’s for sure. Spend spend spend, then cut some of the programs that help people who really need it. Yes, you should freeze the pay of government workers…even bring their salary down to my level and see how long they survive. And where’s the disability program been for us? I’ve seen people who get their disability approved in less than a year, and we’ve been waiting a LOT LONGER… but what else can be done? The president says HE’S FRUSTRATED…well how do you think WE feel? Well, we’ve been “living within our means” for a long time now. Our house is paid off. Our cars are paid off. I live from paycheck to paycheck like most of the people I know, but with a big difference…I’m not in debt, and most people I know are deep in it. That proves that I know how to live within my means. I’ve had a lot of credit cards, but most of them cancelled from lack of use. You get used to not having a lot of the stuff you want or like, in favor of the stuff you need, like food and shelter. Paying the bills on time is the goal. Preparing for tomorrow is the goal of today. (wow, that was deep) Later in life after all your kids are grown and having familes of their own, you get to thinking about what you’ve accomplished in your life so far. If you’re not prepared, you can end up empty…of purpose (empty nest syndrome)…of means (in these times I’m lucky to have a job)…of inspiration (artistic)…of motivation (getting started)…of something else? :-/ We believe in a new reality because we believe in the reality of our dreams. (I love that!) I have dreams, but no means of supporting making them a reality. And the reality wouldn’t provide the means of support for the dream…wow, that’s deep too…doodoo…deep doodoo…are you falling for this “crap”? LOL Are you hooked yet? Are you up shitcreek without a paddle? Sorry you kept reading? Should I go on? All-Righty then.

I look at myself in the mirror and I see that classic droop in the neckline and jowels, crows feet and laugh lines, that little frown line between my brows caused by years of raising my boys, age spots and longer time healing of bumps and bruises and so on…I hate what aging does to you. At least my hair is still pretty-much blonde (there’s starting to be WAY TOO MUCH grey in there though lol). Anyway, I look at all these celebrities who’ve had work done, like Suzanne Summers (somebody botched that one) and Melanie Griffiths (another botched one), and then I look at Betty White (enough said). I think I’ll wait to have my Livestyle Lift. I’ll go for the look of character rather than plastic barbie doll for now (plus it’s a lot cheaper). I’ll keep telling myself that those things give my face character, and there’s no other character just like me. Now to make that work for me to make me rich like Betty White did…lol yeah right ha. I’m not an actress, I’m a writer…(ok, who’ll be my publisher and distributer? remember that I keep all rights! call me, we’ll talk.).

How’s the roller-coaster ride so far??? WHEEEeeeeeeee! I just remembered that I don’t really like roller coaster rides…they jar my old bones too much lol. I’m more for the ferris wheel or the merry-go-round, or just walking around and eating cotton candy. I’m not one for the power sports or high action sports either…no river rafting or mountain climbing or skydiving for me thank you. I’d rather take a little drive out to the country and take pictures of windmills, and old farm places, and lonely old shade trees, and ducks. Or just turn on the Wii and go bowling LOL.

OK, I think I’ll take a break for today…I’m tired of the “crap” for now…more “crap” later…k bye love ya!
