I'm Back!!!

Gosh, I can't believe how long it has been since I posted last.  Where on earth does the time go?  Plenty has happened since I've been gone.  I moved, changed jobs, cars, and boyfriends. Wow! Enough change! I also got a new dog.  A dog that will probably fill many spaces here on this blog.  You have been warned. LOL  AAANNNDDD here she is.....
 
This is Milly and she is a Goldendoodle.  She is smart, happy, and full of energy.  Oh, and did I mention she loves balls. Yup, any kind of ball.  She's not fussy.  Milly keeps me active and has warmed my heart since I got her.  She will be two in March.  So, technically she is still a pup. At least, that's what I keep telling myself when I come home to a house full of chewed up stuff.  ha-ha
  
Have a great night!!!

Growing Up Without a Cell Phone...


I received this email and I just had to share it. It is so true. I think sometimes we take for granted how easy daily living has really become. Enjoy!!!!


If you are 30, or older, you might think this is hilarious! When I was a kid, the adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were. When they were growing up; what with walking twenty-five miles to school every morning.... Uphill.. Barefoot... BOTH ways…in the snowstorm... yadda, yadda, yadda.


And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was no way I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on my kids about how hard I had it and how easy they've got it!


But now that I'm over the ripe old age of thirty, I can't help but look around and notice the youth of today. You've got it so easy! I mean, compared to my childhood, you live in a Utopia!


And I hate to say it, but you kids today, you don't know how good you've got it! I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have the Internet. If we wanted to know something, we had to go to the public library and look it up ourselves, in the card catalog! There was no email!! We had to actually write somebody a letter - with a pen! Then you had to walk all the way across the street and put it in the mailbox, and it would take like a week to get there! Stamps were 10 cents!


Child Protective Services didn't care if our parents beat us. As a matter of fact, the parents of all my friends also had permission to beat us! Nowhere was safe!


There were no MP3's or Napsters or iTunes! If you wanted to steal music, you had to hitchhike to the record store and shoplift it yourself! Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio, and the DJ would usually talk over the beginning and mess it all up! There were no CD players! We had tape decks in our car.. We'd play our favorite tape and "eject" it when finished, and then the tape would come undone rendering it useless. Cause, hey, that's how we rolled.


We didn't have fancy stuff like Call Waiting! If you were on the phone and somebody else called, they got a busy signal, that's it! There weren't any stinkin' cell phones either. If you left the house, you just didn't make a phone call or receive one. You actually had to be out of touch with your "friends". OH MY! Think of the horror... not being in touch with someone 24/7!


And then there's TEXTING. Yeah, right. Please! You kids have no idea how annoying you are.


And we didn't have fancy Caller ID either! When the phone rang, you had no idea who it was! It could be your school, your parents, your boss, your bookie, your pastor, the collection agent... you just didn't know!!! You had to pick it up and take your chances, Mister!


We didn't have any fancy PlayStation or Xbox video games with high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games like 'Space Invaders' and 'Asteroids'. Your screen guy was a little square! You actually had to use your imagination!!! And there were no multiple levels or screens, it was just one screen... Forever! And you could never win. The game just kept getting harder and harder and faster and faster until you died! Just like LIFE!


You had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on! You were really stuck when it came to channel surfing! You had to get off your rump and walk over to the TV to change the channel!!! NO REMOTES!!! Oh, no, what's the world coming to?!?!


There was no Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on Saturday Morning. Do you hear what I'm saying? We had to wait ALL WEEK for cartoons, you spoiled little rat-finks!


And we didn't have microwaves. If we wanted to heat something up, we had to use the stove! Imagine that!


And our parents told us to stay outside and play... all day long. Oh no - There were no electronics to soothe, comfort, and lose brain cells on. And if you came back inside... you were doing chores!


And car seats - Oh, please! Mom threw you in the back seat and you hung on. If you were lucky, you got the "safety arm" across the chest at the last moment if she had to stop suddenly, and if your head hit the dashboard, well that was your fault for calling "shot gun" in the first place!


See! That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids today have got it too easy. You're spoiled rotten! You guys wouldn't have lasted five minutes back in 1980 or any time before!

Regards, The Over 30 Crowd

End of February...


Can you believe this month is over? Where has the time gone? For the past two weeks I have have enjoyed watching the Winter Olympics. I have to say the Winter Olympics is my favorite by far, don't get me wrong I enjoy watching the Summer Olympics, too. It is pretty exciting that the United States finished with 37 medals. In fact the different news mediums is stating the U.S. will leave with the most medals by any country at any Winter Games. Yay...for the Red, White, and Blue!

So, what are some of your favorite sporting events to watch? I just can't say which I like to watch the best. I love pretty much all of it. From curling to figure skating. Oh, and lets not forget snowboarding and hockey. See, I just have so many favorites. I'm already looking forward to the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Krasnodar Krai, Russia.

Hope you had a memorable February. See you in March!

Happy Valentine's Day!


I had a wonderful Valentine's Day. I started the day out making two special boys in my life heart shaped pancakes and then finishing it off with a little shopping and getting a pedicure and a massage. Then off to a very tasty Chinese Buffet Restaurant. Oh, and lets not forget the wonderful sweet goodies. Yum-oh! Could this day get any better?

Fun Paper Cutting Video

I found this amazing video on the Paper Crave website. It is incredible and I thought I would share it with you. The New Zealand Book Council has released an absolutely amazing video, produced by Colenso BBDO and animated by London based Andersen M Studios, which uses paper craft animation to promote books and reading. The animation features paper cut imagery using Maurice Gee’s novel Going West, and eight months of intricate paper cutting work went into creating the final two minute video. Who said they couldn't make books come alive?
