November 14 HolidaysWith the holidays coming up I would like to remind everyone of others of people who don't do the holidays. Some people love this time of year while others have a very hard time of it. Whether it's the time of year or just the pressure's that it brings we need to be aware. For a lot of people this is a time when people around us get lonely. That goes for those who do have friends and loved ones and those who don't. We need to be aware of those who are less fortuniate than ourselves. Some times all that is needed is a kind word or a smile. Just a little bit of time. And that is soooooo simple to give. Isn't it? And very inexpensive. Maybe we could stay in practice by doing it all through the year. Ok time to get my soap box now.lol Everyone take crae and have a great holiday season.  leeseJuly 31 Been so long... Well it has been sooo....long since I printed out anything here. Have just not been in the mood .Been spending my time in the chat rooms and playing games while I'm on here. I hope everyone has been ok. I have been moving around with my family this summer. Since I don't work I seem to be the one to help out. Which is ok since I love them.
 And its like one long vacation for me , but I really miss my puppy. I guess he's a dog now. But he only weighs 16 lbs so he's still my pup. He is so good. Well he's not with me now since the last time he was here at my sisters he had accidents. Hopefully his "operation" will change that. But I will be here for another month and he is so good at climbing the fence here! He will chase a bird or whatever into the next yard and keep climbing fences 5 yards down! Till ( I think he's lost) so he comes out the front way and makes his way down the sidewalk to the front porch and barks to come in. And it is a busy street and of course I am so afraid of him getting hit in traffic. Where he lives now( Delaware) it is so slow. And he still loves the golf cart rides!
In fact the highlight of his day is to run along side and seemingly to pull the cart. With the heat we get I would rather do that either early or late in the day. So now (with me gone) his grandfather takes him for his ride. It helps burn so much energy off him. We could never walk that fast! lol Oh I miss him. Will get to see him in 1 1/2 weeks. Oooh I can't wait! I will bury my nose in his fur and just breathein his smell!( hopefully he won't have just rolled in something!) lol Then in Sept when the kids go back to school, I'll be back in Delaware and with my Ducthie!
Everyone take care and I hope you all have a wonderful summer! ( Don't forget the sunscreen!!!) leeseMay 11 New QnA Well, we've had some time now to get used to the new site. Some things I like more I do not.
I figure the more I use it I'll get used to it. I love the comment tab on our home page, now I can leave comments
and check up on them later. I always like to check up on my comments to see if I got a responce or not. Some times
I don't want to give a answer. (don't know the answer) It's not about the points to me, the star is nice I like to see
that. I hate to come on here now and only see a half a star. All the other labels don't really mean that much to me. As
long as I have few friends on here I'm happy. And to still see some fluff. Which I love.
Without a little fluff where would be. I hope my friends will stay with this site because I really would miss you. So in the meantime take
care and till next I see you ....... leese
April 08 Friends I love friends. I love talking with people that I have something in common with. I love talking with anybody really! My friends list here is what is on my mind. I keep getting invites to join and to have people join mine. I started out thinking I would limit my list to 10 now I've changed that to 20. Its not that I don't want friends... I have a hard time keeping up with them!
So with all these invites I questioned how some were finding me. Upon asking I learned they found my site from others friends.Some I still don't know... I like to know the person, the same you do in "real time" Interaction of some kind. I'm sure most would agree. I want to be able to talk with the person even if its only notes here and there or comments back and forth. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if a note was sent explaining why they want to be on my list. Who doesn't want to hear they like the way think ... even if they don't always agree. Or they liked your site.
I shouldn't complain to much since I now have friends on my list that I have always liked and never asked ... since I'm kinda shy.
Really I am... well sometimes lol. Now I can check out their sites when ever I want!
Well I guess I'm asking that if want to join my list and this would go for anybodys list really, a note would be much appreciated. Really appreciated if they've never seen you before. Now don't get me wrong, I've liked some of the spaces I've seen but.... if you're just into collecting friends... well let us know. Thank you enough rant for now. Take care and stay fun leese  March 29 homeward bound Do you ever travel back home? And look through anothers eyes who has never seen before the things you have taken for granted? I did. I traveled back home yesterday with my son and his girlfriend who is from New Jersey. A Jersey girl who has been transplanted to the flats of Delaware.
First we noticed the color, green, lots of green in the country. Then the smells of the feilds and its inhabinets. She didn't care for that, but it was a smell we have missed.... until it got to be overpowering and we also scrambled to roll up our windows with speed! Her exicitment to be able to see a amish farm was cute . But she saw them everyhere and we had to disappoint her and tell her she was only seeing reg. farms. Don't worry she got to see some and some amish ppl. But cows! I really missed seeing cows and my fav. a jersey cow. Now if you're not around cows much a cow is a cow. To me a jersey cow is a very beautiful thing. From the rich choc corlor hide to the large brown eyes and the super long adorning them.
Now I have never drank raw milk that I know, I'm not that country! But I have heard they have the richest milk there is and I'm willing to believe this from the beauty they project.Must be because I get to pet one at a petting zoo. I have been around cows and milking farms, my family has had dairy farms along with brewerys in its history. But the only jerseys I have seen have been the ones for the familys personal use. Maybe there is something to the sweet rich taste I have heard about......hmmmmmm. Makes one think. I still don't think I want to try any raw milk though. At least don't tell me till I'm done drinking it! March 16 Almost Spring Spring is almost here! Time to start planning your garden. I used to have the most beautiful flower beds. Now that I live with some one else.... well my garden is no more. I love spring flowers though. My grandmoter had a lilac bush out back and to smell lilacs make me think of her. Funny how smells bring back memories. She used to always cut some of the fragrent blooms for me and I would always put some in my room and wake to that wonderful scent. Plus now I know the color helps to relax, (love my lavender sheets)
I had lily of the valley in the yard when I lived with my X. What a smell, beautiful flower and beautiful smell. I always wanted wisteria. My friend had some but it would never bloom. To much something in the soil. Boy do I miss my garden. Guess I'll go to Lowe's and walk through the garden section. Take care and remember to smell the flowers leese  February 16 Dark areaI'm back to my dark time the snow scene was freaking me out so.... back to black. My good friend mammal seems to have left for awhile and not to many visiting my site . Can't really blame any body I just haven't been in the mood. I've started to go to some chat rooms. It' seems I sometimes need to communicate with and get responces quick. I miss being on here ... sometimes I just can't find any questions I want to answer. I don't know why, I do miss everybody. Well that's all for now Take care leese January 26 Feelings ? I'm very sorry that I've not been around much lately. My moods are going crazy and I don't think this will be a very funny blog today. I can't stop my mind from racind and my soul from weeping. I suffer from depression and serious back issues. Next month I will finally have ins. to do something about both. I was hoping once the holidays were over I would be feeling better. Not...... I'm worse. I can't really talk about it. I'm afraid once I start i won't be able to stop and that it won't make sence. Typing is harder to.... My mind is racing which causes mistakes and much back pedling on the keys. I just don't want to be forgotten, is that self pity? i think it is. Just every body take care and I shoud be ok again. My thoughts are with you leese December 17 Time of the Year When I was little I loved this time of year. Growing up I loved decorating and baking and having friends over(and family) My step daughter was amazed I would wrap everyone's gifts and they would all match up. Every little touch I could add I did.
I was with my X for about fifteen years ,we never married but my step daughters(3) called me their step mom and I have always considered them my children my son was 1 when we joined their family. I went to scouts and many sporting events with them,in fact I usauly went alone . X would be working outside on something and I pick up or take.
I have had many jobs over the years bar tending,sales, mgnt., and the most rewarding and demanding private nursing. I have always thrown my self into my work. When I work I seem to eat sleep and breathe my work. I have a friend who is a RN when she found out I knew how to take care of people (MR field) we went to work for each other. We got jobs caring for people who wanted to come home and pass with their families. It can be very rewarding work. I feel so bad for families who can't afford the help. It takes so much out of the people who are the closest. It is such a sad time. you become very close to the families.
One year it was my turn.... my uncle.... I wasn't ready for it. I told him when he found out he had cancer I would go with him to his apps. and I would be there for him.
I know you will forgive me if I cont. this later. I promise....leese December 07 Dutchie's B-Day!!! My baby just turned 1 today! For those who don't know, dutchie is my puppy he'll be a puppy yet for a whole nother year. I baked a carrot cake and he had a wee little piece. I had bought the cake mix for my birthday earlier this month and was out of state for my B-day so I made it count for 2. My Mom got him gifts too . He's a lucky pup. She even told him she almost loves him . Thats a lot for my Mom. http://qna.live.com/ShowQuestion.aspx?qid=FA27E659AE204A929AEA92C3055997C9&ctx=%2fBrowse.aspx%3ffilter%3d1%26romise not to make fun of her. What h !!! What just happened! Now I have to go look ,feel free to look too I have no idea what I hit. Be back November 06 Birthday fun Today is my B-day
 We get older every year. My father turns 70 this month, if he's getting old so am I (45) I have told him to stop aging since it makes me older. When I was small I thought life was simply explained. You grew up, got married, had a child then you died. I was depressing when I was young wasn't I? I was sure if you somehow changed that process you could live forever. My mother laughed at this.
But if I lived forever what about everyone else? Now I realized that this would be impossible, there was no way I could evrybody to do this. Besides my parents already had children, and my grand mother ,well.... she had 4 grand children. She was doomed for sure!!! There no sence in this project if the people I loved and cared about would no longer be around.
So as I grew my age never bothered me except to be older. Couldn't wait to be 13,my son calls it double digit. Sweet 16 and the infamous 21... I wasn't even drinking at that time . But it didn't stop me from wishing it upon myself.Then when I got to be 37 ( or something like that) I decided I was going to make my self older . I had always looked older , when I was 14 I could get served in some bars ( Now you know why I wasn't drinking when I was 21 ,I was already burnt out) I remember telling some one I was 45 and they would say " oh, you look great! I would have guess 35. Which was the whole point!
30 and 40 didn't bother me . I hope 50 & 60 won't either. 29 and 39 did ! I had a whole year to get ready for the 0 yrs. I think I'll be ok at 50 though. I hope..... I'll just tell everyone I'm 57 ......lol October 25 Rain, rain...... I have always loved rain. The sound it makes beating on the roof and hearing the wind blowing through the trees. It' great , you can smell the cool freshness of it all. Now when you have a dog..... yeh it's not so great. A short hair dog is not so bad,you have to worry about their feet leaving tracks everywhere. Put the long hair into the equation.... it's not a pretty sight.
When I visited my brother last month for the chili cook off I took Dutchie along( my puppy, my baby). He' supposed to be a........ well I'm not sure, but he's adorable! His mother was a min. poodle and his father... never stuck around long enough to be recognized. When I first went to see him I wanted the all black one , untill I saw him. He was a fuzy little thing , a black n tan . As soon as I held him I wanted to keep him and never let go. I breathed in his scent it made my hair stand up on end! That should have been the first clue. Since he was brought up in a barn, yes a barn, he smelled like a barn. A Amish barn. Now I've been in plenty of non Amish barns and to tell the truth they do smell alike( just seems funnier). He must have had free rein some of the times cause he smelled every kind of poop they had! Cow poop, goat poop, chicken poo,mule poo, draft horse poo and reg. horse poo. That's a lot of poop!!! And I'm sure I missed some 'cause there were some more smells coming from him. Then a breathe of puppy breathe hit me , you know, the dreaded puppy breathe that makes any and every one fall in love! BAM!!!
I was hooked. Then came reality a little at a time. Since he was born and lived in a barn (Amish) thats all he knew. Snow ... what was that. It was cold thats all he knew, and he didn't like it. If you want to laugh try watching a ball of fur that only weighs9 lbs. try to pee hold 2 legs out of the snow. My heart went out to him
after a while that got old though but that's another story. Any how it turned out he's less than 20 lbs, 5 of that is fur and he now loves to be outside. In the sun, snow , rain, whatever. With fall setting in he now brings home all kinds of things from his adventures. Apples,sticks, logs ,acorns and who knows what else , he carries in his mouth. He just rolls in the dead animals . He brings any matter of leaves, sticks ,twigs, insects any thing laying on the ground in his hair. We sometimes play 20 questions while looking at him after a romp through the yard.
Now combine ALL that with water.... Not a pretty sight. Hair hanging in long rain soaked curls with almost every srcape the yard could hold . Behold the yard monster! That's my baby, ready for Halloween!!!
Happy Halloween leese October 15 I' m Back..... I'm back and very confused I don't like Delawere my dog doesn't well he likes the water. But in Va. he likes the yard his buddy Libby his aunt Lodi and kids not to mention his Bri-bri. I don't know what to do.
Okay to change the subject the water,He's great on the boat ,scared about getting off. He jumps right on the dock and runs around,he hops, must be the poodle in him.And stands on his back legs and dances around.He's not sure about being in the water, it's getting a little cold now. I was looking at a jellyfish the other day and the next I knew he fellin on top of it!So much hair on him( and just a little JF) he never felt a thing! I pulled him out and he went wild with the zoomies! I call them that , it's liked balled up energy, he just zoomes around. And he loves the golf cart, loves to ride around and look at every thing. I've got to figure out how to put his picture up on here. He's sooooo cute. I love him and he doesn't stress me out very much. In fact I get a lot of joy from watching him have fun and get into trouble.
I want to enjoy my life so I will be avoiding the drama so I'll be here off and on.  To happy days leeseOctober 04 colorsWearing certain colors can mean certain things. Blue is a very healing color,green brings fortune,which could mean money or something you desire. It also stands fo good luck. White=purity or innocence.Purple is a great pychic or spiritul ...... which brings us to black, the goths' wear it and some misunderstand why. People think it is because of hate. Black is worn and used to ward off evil. For protection, it blocks out bad,painful etc.feelings. Also good but.... I saw where someone had questioned goths wearing black and wanted to answer it.If you look around you , you will be able to find more ,purple has always been a holy color associated with spring and renewal. Have fun looking..... leese Quote Taking a break September 26 Taking a break Some of you know and some don't ,that I'm taking a break.
 I thought I came to a site that was a lot of fun. And it is! Then came the attacks on QT .I thought "Am i back in jr. high??" I just couldn't beleive it! It made me very upset and mad, I stayed away for awhile. Went to the cafe for awhile . Now I can understand it getting heated over their , the format is different. Went to hospital for awhile, and couldn't go up and down steps ,or sit in a chair very long. See the 2nd time I went to the hospital I lost the use of my legs and was confined to a wheelchair. I have pinched nerves in my spine and all kinds of problems going on this summer. ( everything seems to be ok rigt now) So the friends I met and made here on QnA ment a lot to me. When nate had problems I told him not to leave, not to give in. If he left the peron in the wrong would win and not to give them the satisfaction. I remember one Sat afernoon when I was on here a couple of hours just laughing out loud having so much fun. And then it really went down hill, I still had some fun still made friends but I seemed to notice more attacks and name calling. My nerves got bad, I was looking up what was going on and getting more upset. It's gotten to a point where I can't remember who' on what side and why do there have to be sides?Ugghhh!!!!
 So one night I desided to take a break. (this is a hard habit to break) I want to thank every one for your kind answers and your support. It means alot to me. I wanted to let the rest of my friends who were not on that night to know why I was leaving what was going on.And that I will be back. I love to talk so.... I figured to keep my blog going. ( and SB and Doreen I do consider you friends, cause I love yourQ's and A's)
If you have read my other blogs you will know I'm in the middle of moving. I'm not happy about it I wanted to move to Az. but realize when my back I can't leave my family and the support I get from them. Sooo I need to be close to them. Delaware is on my radar now. That way I'll be with my parents and my son when I get my surgery done. And my step daughters won't be that far away. Those are my pluses! Good ones huh!?!
So... I want everyone to take care and I will be thinking good of you all. Remember Lisa watch the temper IAMO, nate keep up with your math homework,larmo call ME! I love you all leese  September 24 Driving Driving kills me,I'll be pulling these long hauls every weekend now till I get moved. I hate the word hate but I hate traffic. Just keep telling myself , you have no set time to arrive. It will be ok if you're late , so what if everyone is passing you. Enjoy the time alone, deep breath... in ... out... in , you get the picture. Need to relax. I just get out there and I want to go fast! Wow!! 80 miles per hr! now we're moving and GET out of my way!!!
This time I'm not leaving during rush hour! That way maybe I can enjoy myself.
Had a great time last weekend, untill I headed back. Need to plan a little better on the traffic. It can only get better ,right?
Till next blog leese September 17 Seasons Okay fall is on it's way.... I can't wait. When I lived in Pa. I lived in the country and the moon would be so big!! I loved to go out side at night and enjoy the wind , the sounds and smells of the wind. The way it felt as it caressed my face and the sharpnest in the tempeture. I would take my neice out with me and I'd have her close her eyes and I'd ask her what she would hear. I'd tell her to listen to the music nature was giving us if we just took the time to pay attention. The sounds of the leaves on the trees and on the ground..... This will be my first fall with out her. I know I will miss her. I already do. I told her before she moved ,that if she ever missed me to go out and look up at sky and know I was looking and thinking of her. We might be in different places but we still would see the same sky..... I miss her . Oh to hear a owl sing.....
leese September 13 Mornings Normaly I don't do mornings well..... at all! Don't know what got into me today! 2 loads of laundry, 2 shifts of breakfast, washed all the doors windows...... plus tons of coffee and word search next onto suduko. I'm a night person I'd be well suited to being a vampire except I love meat and potatos. I should be packing but I seem to be putting it off. New change can't stand them! I don't want to move... I like Manassas but would hate to live here. Too much traffic, to $$$$ . I love to visit, just not happy. Need to figure out where I will be happy, I hope it is Delawere. I once thought I would never leave York County...... that's the way life is. I miss my step daughters my ex most of my friends and I miss my social life . Better get on the ball soon. Well every one take care and I'll see you soon (on QnA)
leese September 09 Moving on Okay, summer might as well be gone.As life moves on, I question on enjoyment. Enjoyment of life, I know I don't enjoy life as much as I could. Balance is good.Balance is what makes life livable, without balance we are miserable (or some thing not good) Positive. We need to be more positive. I need to be more positive and less negitive. We all could improve in that area if not others.
My plan is to look forward more and not back as much ...... so I shall read this and be reminded..... |
