Happy New Year to all my beautiful family and friends!

One thing I made sure I did as a mother was to let Shelby

know that through the thick and thin of it all she was loved deeply

by me and her father.
A simple "I love you"
at the start of the day,
randomly through the day,
in her lunch as a note on a napkin,
etc.
especially at bedtime.

Today it came back trifold.

While sitting in the living room watching tv

Shelby came to me and said,

"You haven't had your hug and kiss today. I love you, Mommy."

That was it.

She went back to coloring as if nothing happened.

My heart is a lump of love.

another award? really?

Bless her heart.

My mother over at Weezer's Haven has blessed me with this

Sugar Doll award.

Now I think I'm supposed to give you a little insight to what makes me tick.

But honestly, I can't think of anything that my few followers

don't already know.

Also I'm apparently supposed to pass this award on to some one else,

but there again I have only a few followers and they already

have this award.

So I thank you Weezer for having faith in my blog and seeing possible potential.

Until then...

My mom and sister have posted about their CHRISTmas trees that are

a working progress.

I figured I should post about my punny tree.

As a child, as far back as I can remember we always had a live tree.

So as an adult it seemed like that was something I should also continue to do.

Since I'm not working, we've taken the conservative route.

Starting last year I converted to artificial.

Though I still prefer a live tree, it'll have to do.

Until then...

a thought

"When you wish,

the world becomes brighter.

so wish.

It's what makes the holidays

the holidays"

from my Starbucks cup

What to do?

What to do?

What to do?

Larry just left for work.

He won't be home until well after midnight.

My in laws drove up here to get Shelby for the weekend.

They just left.

I am now

ALL ALONE.

It has been so long since I have been by myself that I honestly

can say I don't know what to do.

I don't know how to be by myself.

Help.

Any suggestions?

Until then...

overheard singing

"Rudolph the Reindeer Rednosed had very shiney nose"

This has been his name for the past three years.

No matter how much I correct her this seems to be his name.

I guess I didn't get that memo.

Until then...

singing praise

"Hallelujah!"

"Laylooyah!"

"Laylooyah!"

"Hallelujah!"

"Laylooyah!"

name a pig

So after doing some research this is what I found out.

Angela is a character on a show called "BONES".

She has a pig.

It needs a name.

The network that the show airs on has invited the public to help name

her pig.

That's it.

Until then...

precarious situation

You're riding a horse full speed..

there's a giraffe beside you...

and you're being chased by a lion..

What would you do?

Wait for it...

Still waiting?

GET OFF THE CAROUSEL!

LOL!

Until then...

Angel(i)a needs...

I was inspired by my mom's blog who was

in turn inspired by another blog to Google

my needs list.

Since my name has an unusual spelling I had to use

the more common spelling of Angela.

So here's my "needs" list

1.Angela needs to get away from her kids.

2.Angela needs her space.

3.Angela needs to constantly "feel" the presence of God.

4. Angela needs to name her pig.

5. Angela needs help.

6. Angela needs to get pregnant NOW!

7. Angela needs 20 quarts of 50% antifreeze solution in her radiator.

8. Angela needs a share in Victoria, BC.

9.Angela needs a physcological evaluation.

10. Angela needs to clean house some more and cut out some dead weight.

I would keep on going but it seems  to repeat that Angela needs to name her pig.

I can't help to wonder why her pig needs a name so desperatley.

Until then...
