Bored

I tried to find one of those blog quizzes to put here but every one I did turned out not to be me. Maybe it is because I am in a funk tonight. But, maybe it is because none of them actually fit me tonight. One said the day of the week I was most like was Monday. Now that is just wrong. Trust me on Monday the only thing I want to do is to pull the covers up over my head and let the world go on without me. But guess I would probably feel that way too on Tuesday. Who knows. Maybe I am just bored.

Power up

I have been thinking a lot lately about what I will do this winter if something happens that we would lose power here in the house due to an ice storm. I know I would not have to worry about heat for the house and cooking since we do that with gas. After spending time in Haiti I can do without the electricity if I need to I have a ton of candles that we could use for light. However the one thing I wonder about is my laptop. I mean without my laptop I am a lost person. I know I have the battery power but that doesn't last forever. So I have been thinking about some extra laptop batteries. I think this is really something that I am going to give some serious consideration to.

Couch Potato

Today is Sunday and I have now been off work for 4 days due to the Thanksgiving Holiday. I don't understand why 4 days off work seem to go much faster than 4 days at work but trust me they do. Don't get me wrong as far as jobs go I like my job I just don't like working. If you know what I mean. But today I have done absolutely nothing. I know I should have done something like clean house or something productive. But I have not even gotten out of my PJ's all day. But the way I figure it the house work will all still be here tomorrow when I get home from work. I know I have to get things done this week because starting Saturday I will be working my second job for 16 straight evenings. That means I will work everyday at work for almost 9 hours. Leaving work at 5:00 PM and arriving at the second job at 5:30 (I will eat supper in the car on the way to work) and work that job until 9:00 PM every evening. I know after that much time I will be glad I took today to just be a couch potato.

Hunting season

With us living here in PA we are really noticing a lot of guys that go hunting during this time of the year. I really wish I had a hunter in my family and not just so that I could partake in the product of their hunting trip. But if I had a hunter in the family I would definitely do so serious shopping at the Nikon Black Friday Promo. Right now they have the "The Ultimate Hunter's Package" which has tons of items in it that you can right now save almost $145.00 by purchasing it. Plus if you have that hunter you are looking for a special gift for and you don't know exactly what they are wanting you can purchase gift cards for them and let them pick out exactly what they want for themselves. So what are you waiting for hope on over there and shop till your fingers drop.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

I just wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving to anyone who still reads my blog. I realize to most of you who happen to drop by it is probably pretty boring. But that is the way things go. I am very thankful that all of my family is healthy and relatively happy. (as happy as we can be when conditions are as they are)

Next holiday season we are going to kick butt. We will be back in Florida with our family and we are going to make up for this holiday season that we missed.

So to all of you out there take time to tell your family how much you love them and how much they mean to you.

To my Family. I love you bunches and bunches. Hug Hug Kiss Kiss.

Mom, Momma, Nannie

My babies three

I just got some new pictures of my grandchildren so I had to share at least one with you. They are growing up so big I just can't believe it. I really miss them a ton and I know they miss me. We are actually working on trying to move back to Florida to be with them all. I not only miss my babies I also miss my daughters just as much.

To my babies Nannie says I love you a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck.

Hog Wild

I haven't ridden a motor cycle in years and to be honest I have never ridden on a Harley I wish I had but just never got the opportunity. I do remember my Mom telling me that her Dad bought a Harley and you would have to have know my PaPaw. He weighed about 150 pounds soaking wet with rocks in his pockets and the bike fell over on him and he needed help getting out from under it. Thankfully I don't think either he or the bike were hurt. But if he had done some damage to the bike he could have gotten the harley parts he needed with the click of a few computer keys. But wait a minute they didn't have computers back then. Oh well for those who need accessories or part for their "hog" it is now a very easy thing to accomplish.

My grandson ROCKS!

First let me say this is not a blog I am getting paid for this is just my personal bragging about one of my grandsons. Ok with that out of the way we will proceed. I got this email from my girls. They were at Downtown Disney on Friday evening and there is a group playing there through December called Nova Era and they play the acoustic violin and acoustic cello and the oboe. Well after they finished their performance Nate went up to the girl playing the violin and asked her what kind of violin it was because it is very unusual looking. She very patiently explained to him that it was an electric acoustic violin. Then she did a very unusual thing. She asked him if he played violin and he said this was his first year in school playing the violin. She then asked him if wanted to hold it and he said yes. She handed him the violin and then the bow and because it is a full size violin she helped him get in in place under his chin then she said. "Play me something" Well he played her a little bit just basically bowing across the strings and she told him that it was the most beautiful music she had heard. She has no idea (at least I don't think she does) as to how much that meant to her. After he finished playing it and handed it back to her he told her. "Thank you for lettimg me play your violin for free" It really made him feel special and right now they all need that feeling let me telll you. I am so proud of him that I could just bust. My daughter said that with this particular violin it is probably at least a $10,000.00 instrument that she just handed a 9 year old to play for her. Now I have to say I am impressed with them. They play classical music but they kick it up a notch. They are wanting children to develope a love and understanding for the classics in music. Well I give this group and this particular lady a thumbs up!

I am in a mood

Your Mood is a 4

You're feeling a little down, but not totally bummed out. Your mood is on the low side of average.

How Does Your Mood Rate?

I guess this pretty much describes me. I am down lately as the holiday's approach. I am really dreading Thanksgiving and Christmas being away from the girls and the grandchildren. Hopefully we will all be together again soon.

Let it snow

It snowed today while I was at work. All right so it did not show as much as you see in the picture but it did snow. OK All Right then so it was just flurries but for someone who has moved to the north from Florida any chance you get to see snow you have to love it. It did snow for a few minutes pretty heavy but it didn't stick to the ground or anything but at least it did snow.
