Thinking Deep

You know, I used to think that I was a pretty intelligent person, and had quite a bit to say. I used to think that I could express myself quite well. Reading blogs of people who are young enough to be my children, I don't think so anymore. These young people have so much to say, and so much more wisdom and insight than I EVER had when I was their age, it's simply shameful. I have so much do learn from them.

I have been through SO MUCH in the last 5-10 years, that I can't even begin to explain, nor do I think that I want too. Looking at the other two blogs that I have started on here, I guess they kind of explain why. Yes, I have quite a bit to learn. Because, I have forgotten so much!

So yesterday, on Halloween we drove up to Ogden and had lunch with the ladies from the "Coke Club" that Mom and Dad used to hang out with, after water aerobics at the Ogden Athletic Club. This time it was just "the Ladies." We had lunch at CHOP STIX, which used to be THE TRAINING TABLE, which is located right next to my old apartment, at The Brownstone. Good times were had there. Good memories. Although, do you think I even bothered to look at my old apartment, or the balcony where I spent so much time on? NO! What is WRONG WITH ME!?

After lunch, we drove over to the old neighborhood, and stopped by Chris Stuarts, so I could 'Trick or Treat' at her house. Alas, NO ONE WAS HOME! So I called her on her cell, phone and visited for a minute, and then we dropped by Karen Anderson's new abode, where her family is "camping out" until their new house will be built. I got to chat with sweet little Chloe, for a minute too. She is hilarious.

We then swung by Jackie and Jared's. Since Chris had stopped by Jackie's work and told her we were in town. (Thanks Chris! ha ha. We were going to call you anyway Jackie)

So then we hopped in the car, and drove home. Only to get home in time to throw candy in the bowl and open the door for the first "trick or treaters."

So sometime in the middle of the night, I woke up not feeling well. HAPPINESS AND JOY! (NOT,) I'm pretty sure that I have FOOD POISONING! UGG! Oh Well. It was a very enjoyable day.

Freedom, Fires and Fireworks

I guess I need to be better about blogging. I'm not the best blogger in the world. I read various blogs of people I know, and they express themselves so much better than I do. I have started so many blogs over the years, and I really need to consolidate I guess. Today is the 4th of July. The birthday of America! The birth of this great Nation! It is also my Grandmothers birthday. She would be 109 today. Happy Birthday Grandmommie! You are loved and missed. The Great State of Utah is on Fire! Not because of Stadium of Fire, I mean FIRE! Fires everywhere! Blazing, Raging Fires! It is not good! This has been going on for almost a month! It is only the first week of July. There wasn't any rain the entire month of June. Most of the fires were because of HUMANS! C'mon people! WAKE UP! Quit being so STUPID, and CARELESS! People have lost everything! I can't believe how stupid and selfish people can be when others have lost so much. That being said, Everyone be safe, and SMART! I am thankful for my Country and my Freedom. Enjoy the day. GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Going Nowhere Fast

July 18, 2012

Well, Summer is halfway over. If you consider that the neighborhood children will be back in school at the end of next month. (YAY!) Well, I must admit, it hasn't been that rowdy around here, unless you count the days where I have been laid up with a Migraine. (too many in my book.)

We haven't gone anywhere this summer. Okay by me. I'm just a homebody this year. Jared, the "birthday buddy" nephew, will be here at the end of the week, for two days, until he heads home to prepare to depart on his mission to Nicaragua, for TWO WHOLE YEARS! (I can't be that old already...) Which means, his older brother Joseph, will be coming home from his mission. Has it been two years already? I guess time really does fly.

It has been a long, hot, dry season. How's that for using great adjectives all my wonderful English Teachers/Professors of the past? hmm?

Well, since I haven't done much of late, and I am no longer going to school. (another long sad tale.) Here is a list of things I am going to start to do, or progress on anyway.

1. FINALLY truly learn to play my Ukulele
2. Volunteer somewhere. (thinking about Clear Horizons Acadamy
3. Picking up Photography....again

Okay, that's a good start. I think. I can't overwhelm this already overloaded injured brain too much. That would send it into panic mode, and then I would be in trouble again. THAT is part of the long sad tale, saved for another blog.
