Bad Poster, Bad Bad Poster

I haven't posted in ages and ages and ages, well you get the picture. Nobody was really reading here anymore so I kind of gave up.  My friend Sarah has inspired me to maybe start up again. Maybe.  Could this be a New Year's resolution?  GASP!

2010 went by so quickly, I'm not sure I even remember what all went on.  Work, doctor's appointments, more work, very little fun, lots of time spent at home staring at the walls.  If truth be told, wishing for a new life, something fun and exciting and so not frozen.  Warm tropical breezes...umbrella drinks..... ahhhh...

So the only resolution I have so far, blog more.  We'll see.  If I get anyone stopping by I might pick it up again.  And if nobody stops by, I can just blather on to myself!

Happy New Year!  What are your resolutions for 2011? 

I've been a pretty lame blogger.

Hanging head in shame.  I have fallen into the grips of Facebook. That and I got a real job. One where I show up and they have things for me to do. Important things, that matter. 

I do really like my new job. It's at Paypal.  I work on the software that the agents use. An agent is the person who answers the phone when you call Paypal and say stupid things like "I can't remember my password" and "Show me the money" And yes you do sound stupid, I've listened to the calls.  Please don't sound stupid when you call Paypal, you've been warned.

Alex is enjoying summer.  He likes swimming the best I think.  Who doesn't?

This Saturday we hope to go to an MDA party being thrown in Sam's honor.  Sam is adorable. I only know him thru some pictures and I've met his mom.  Great family!  But the heat is suppose to be that of the Saraha desert, so we shall see.  I don't have time to rent a camel.....

My mom made two quilts for Katie's Comforters. I found Karen's (mom of Katie) site from the Hopeful Parents site. Check them all out, you'll be glad you did. And if you or someone you know loves to quilt.....whip one up and ship it off!

Enjoy your summer! Maybe my next post will come before fall!!! Yeah yeah, promises promises. So friend me on Facebook!

Haven't been blogging much.

Sorry to all my readers out there (yes both of you!).   Just seems like I forget to sit down and write something. Facebook might have something to do with it.

I've got a new job. I start tomorrow.  I am excited! I will be contracting at Paypal. I hate being the new person, but I'm sure it won't take long to fit in.

My cousin Lisa is really battling the beast, known as Cancer. She's having quite a time with it.  She is like a sister to me, she's always been there for me, no matter what.  Please keep her in your prayers.   Her family is going to San Diego in May and she'd love to be well enough to go, see the ocean one more time. Her mother, sister and brothers are devastated as well.  Nasty disease.  We need to find cures for this!

Alex is doing well at school. He's become quite the helper for the younger kids in the class.  It's nice to see him be a buddy.  With his behavior issues, it's nice to see some progress! Stanford has not gone back to school, we'll work on it thru the summer and attend a re-training course and hopefully he can go back in the fall.  We'll see.

Glad you stopped by.  Not very exciting or noteworthy...but hey welcome to my life!!! LOL

Happy Birthday Grandma

We're closing in on our second year without you.  We all still miss you and can't quite figure out why you're gone.  Alex misses you too.  He likes to look at pictures of you, but I'm not sure he understands why he doesn't see you in person.  I'm not sure I understand it either.

I know that I need to come to terms with all that happened during the week you died.  I have to forgive the people who kept me from you because of their jealousy and their own agendas.  We had a lifetime together and they only got that final week.  I have to accept that our time together during the 46 yrs meant way more to each of us, than the last week they spent scrambling to be the most important person in your life and death. But I should have been there for you, I should have fought them harder, but I didn't. I need to forgive myself as well. 

I hope you and Grandpa are celebrating your birthday in heaven today.  We always celebrated both of your birthdays together, during this week...I miss that too. Neither one of you is forgotten, your impact on our lives is still apparent.  Thank you and I miss you both!

Stanford has been going to school

You can't find much to post about when you've been snowed in for three days.  And it's cooooold!  -40 windchills...so not good.  Lots of ice on the roads.
