Stunning Snowy Sunday!

Stunning Snowy Sunday! I haven't gone to church the last couple weeks. With Christmas around the corner they are doing some weird things there. I prefer to wait until the new year rolls around and it gets back to normal. I never went to church growing up. Nor did i EVER think i would in my life. Somehow though i started going to this one. Ive tried a few others but this guy really gets me. He's not preachy. He just talks about being a better person. This is not the church for you if you want to memorize the bible. I have been told by some wise souls though, take what you need and leave the rest. Well i am leaving these few Sundays out. Maybe next year(yeesh). I saw my friend Annie today, we had things to do, but before we knew it time was up. What a good feeling. Nick has been into the western movies lately, takes me back to being very young. If you know of a must see western, let me know. Going to get my house in order from last week, hopefully it'll stay in order till Christmas. This is the first year my work has given Christmas Eve off, unpaid, but off. Hope it snows, on the grass.

Over and Out

THURSDAY 9 days!

Im feeling much better this evening. Last night Gone with the Wind was on tcm. I watched most of it. I know how it ends, begins and everything in between. I've seen it a million times. Growing up that was the movie my mother and i would fall asleep to. But i see Scarlett way different than back then. I always knew she was strong but wow. The sacrifices she makes. oh i am going to deliver some gifts. back later.
I had found some goodies for my friend Ashley. I took them over to her today. I was going to wait until Christmas, but she has been so kind to go to work early for me the last two days. And help with the kids. I dont think she could ever know how much she means to me. She has been here so much since i have met her. We've only known each other a year, but i honestly dont know how i could survive with out her. She is a corner stone in my life.
It is 9 days until Christmas, and do you know, I am not dreading it. Unlike past years when winter would just reach into my soul and tear me to shreds. This year I love it. The cold not so much. But I am so grateful this year there is no room for that " This isnt what Christmas is about" or "I have all these gifts to buy". This year I'm not worried about buying the perfect gift. This year I just want everyone to be together, happy joyous and free.

Me and My babies. I don't have a camera so i used my web cam. Extremely difficult. At first, they didn't want to come to me. So i went to them laying on the floor. Aren't they beautiful. They really save me sometimes, and kill me others Ha ha! No treats were even necessary for this photo shoot! Maggie(middle) i adopted shortly after i moved into my home 3 and 1/2 years ago. She has more love than any dog Ive ever met. She just wants to be good, so bad. And to be loved. She wants to be a lap dog, but thankfully she knows better. She is very big, long legs and an even longer tail that i still don't think she is aware of until it knocks something over. Then shes goes running away so afraid of what just happened! Pierre, was originally my boyfriends dog.He is very mellow, and likes his alone time. Unless I am in the kitchen. Or at the table. (I didnt raise him to be a beggar, Someone else did!) But when food isnt around he just keeps to himself. Dont get me wrong he loves being loved. He just doesnt get overly excited about it.(Like someone else i know) I could tell he didnt know what to think of sociable Maggie when they first met. But they soon fell for each other. When Nick and Pierre moved out, it was then end of the world for those 2. Pierre(who will devour a pot roast in seconds) wasnt eating. And Maggie just moped around. We knew this couldnt go on. So Pierre moved back in. And they are so happy. They are best friends. I couldnt have done this better myself. They truly are my babies.

John Wayne?

what a day. After having two days off due to snow, the weekend is just well, just. I read about my astrology sign today. I'm a Gemini. It said we like to multitask, change(even if we say we dont like it), and analyze everything. It also said nothing seems good enough for us. And that we can argue with the best of them. Ha! I guess. Ha Ha. That sums up how I feel so far this weekend. Hmmm. Maybe I'll start reading into that stuff a little better. I got the rest of my house work done. And talked to an old friend today that moved to Florida. I really wanted to hear what she was up to. NOT! Thinking about John Wayne movies for the evening. Hey there little lady. Until next time. Love like forever is never.

Blizzard here in small town U.S.A. God's way of telling this little part of the world to slow down.
