Life is Good

Life is Good !!!! That is my motto, words to live by. I knew someone who said a lttle more than that, they said "life is good, and then you die." I like the "life is good" part!!

I have had a really busy week. Last Friday, Dave had surgery on his herniated disc.
All went well; he was joking with the nurses. Some of them liked him so much, they hugged him before he left the hospital. HMMM, maybe he should be a politician instead of going to Graduate school for Bio-Medical Engineering. As soon as he was out of recovery we were able to see him. Right away he was able to notice that he didn't have shooting pain going down his right leg. That's a great sign !!!

Recovery has been a little harder. He is back at work and well on the road to recovery. The reason Michelle and Dave have been staying with us is they are both broken. Michelle still has Vertigo problems. She never knows from minute to minute how she will feel. She also doesn't know what will trigger it. They now believe this is something called "Vestibular Migranes." She has had to go off certain medications. Worse than that, she's had to go off a whole food group, CHOCOLATE. Can you imagine that?? The doctor also wants her to avoid processed foods. Isn't everything processed to a certain degree? Well, next week I take her to Vestibluar Therapy. Let's all wish her well. It is certainly no fun to live this way.

We also have two other houseguests, Savvy and Jacks, their beagles. They love Poppy, they try to follow him downstairs. He likes to sit on the floor with them and pet them. They are cunning dogs, they look like they can't move very quickly, but Watch Out!! When they get a scent of something, they FLY!! More then once they have wound up at the cemetery on the OTHER side of the fence--down at the very bottom of the cemetery, you know where there's even more mud, more muck, all in all, just not very fun.

All I want to say is I've married the man of my dreams. In June, we will be married 34 years. Crazy years? Yes!! Exciting years? Yes!! Loving years? Yes!!
I have married a good man. There are lots of extra things for him to do right now, and he's doing almost all of it without grumbling. He is a good caretaker. That's one of the reasons I love him so much.

As I said, "Life is Good."

Here I am Sitting by This cComputer

O.K. Here I am sitting by this computer, I have dishes to do, Dave to take to the hospital for his Back Surgery and I'm sitting here trying to begin the wonderful world of blogging, I am not as clever as Jen with her blog,as enlightening as Mel and her blog,as creative as Resa with her blog, as sweet as Michelle and her blog,or as prophetic as Sparky (that's Karen Lindmark) for those who don't know her code name. Since I am not any of these things (yet) I can be hopeful can't I ? I am the oldest so I'm something. Where do I begin? On Wednesday 5/21/08 I turned 57 years old,Can that be possible ? I don't feel 57. I certainly don't act 57. Yes I DO look 57, I have angel hair. I have aches and pains. My body tells me when there's rain a foot. Have I painted a good picture for you?? Good!!! I like to use lots of exclamation points because that's how I feel. Everythings important !! Life is Good !!!

That reminds me ,back to my birthday !! I met with my friends at Sparky's house (Karen) Spunky was there too!! Aha, you don't know who Spunky is yet? That's Glenda !! We cropped , That's scrapbooking. I worked on a two page spread for Paige's " Spring Fling" at her pre-school.

Am I Capitalizing too many words? Oh well, get over it, it's my first blog. What do you want Prefection?? Then don't look here, you ain't gonna get it. We went to lunch at Applebees. I was good, I had the Cajun Tilapia only 6 points ,thank you very much. Then the chocolate raspberry cake only 4 points. Sparky and Spunky weren't as good as I was, BUT I was the only one who had dessert, by the way I ate every bit of my 4 points, I just about licked the plate to remove the raspberry sauce, I showed restraint I did not lick the plate merely the SPOON !!!
My friends ordered me a Cricut cartridge, Paper Dolls!! are we going to have fun or what!!! It won't be here for maybe another month but oh baby!! Sparky also gave me a plaque, is that spelled right? It says "Life is Good...enjoy the little things" and I do, Kelly, Paige, Tommy and Preston, W.W. points, brads, buttons, etc. I could go on forever you know.

I also rec'd designer eyelets and snaps. Spunky gave me wonderful paper packs, stickers,and ribbon for my pages. I am excited!! I have great friends and they made my day.

I will be putting pictures of my babies and my scrapbooking when I remember what Sparky taught me. Enough for now. I don't want your brains to Explode. I love you all!! Comment on this so I know you care, really care. How's that for guilt? I'm the Queen !!!
