Things have changed so much since I started this blog. Well, if you can call it a blog. Is it really a blog if no one reads it or is it just the rantings of a lunatic? That is for another day.
I want to blog about the changes, but I'm not sure how to block certain people from seeing what I write . . .even though no one reads it, this would be the one time that it is discovered.
So for now, if you are reading this, keep sending me positive vibes so I can do what I need to do.

writer's block
So much running around in my head, but nothing wants to come out. The things that need to be said can't be exposed, especially in such a public place. So for now, I'll just keep trying to organize my thoughts and if anyone is reading this, your thoughts and prayers are appreciated.
Until another day.

Modern Technology
This is a new test. I downloaded an app to my phone that lets me blog on the go. If it works...great. If it doesn't ... uninstall. The one drawback I see right now is making more typos thanks to the small virtual keyboard. However, if that bothers you, feel free to read my first post and let it go.
If this works, it'll be great for on-the-go blogging...especially on my next New Orleans trip next month. Woot woot!
Happy blogging.

Getting Back on Track
Well, it's been some time since I wrote anything on here. I thought I was going to write every day or at least a couple of times a week, but noooooo . . . so . . . let's get back on track.
It's been an interesting summer. I went to New Orleans with my best childhood friend. We had a blast. It started out with 8 of us and ended up only being the 2 of us. No worries though . . . we had a blast and met some people there that we will probably be friends with for many years to come. We went to a place called the Cat's Meow (of course, I'd rather call it the Kat's Meow--LOL) and karaoked almost every night. We saw almost all of NOLA and ate everything that we had on our lists. It was so very awesome.
The rest of the summer was rather dull in comparison, but still a relaxing time and enjoyable nonetheless.
Now, I'm planning a family trip back home to Indiana for next summer. We need to have some celebrations--my husband & I will have our 15th year wedding anniversary, my in-laws 45th wedding anniversary, my mother-in-law's 70th birthday, 10 year anniversary of my dad's passing, and a few months after that is my father-in-law's 75th birthday. I think that calls for celebration, don't you?
Well--the Man is still hedging on the trip. I told him it's a done deal. He doesn't appreciate that. Ah well . . . .
I'm also trying to plan a trip to NYC with the same friend (let's call her Sis) and visit Husband #2 while there. Story--every woman needs 2 husbands . . . the regular one (that gets on her nerves) and a gay one who will go to the Ice Capades (sp?) with her. Husband #2 is the latter. He has an apartment that is 9 feet by 30 feet and we are all going to squeeze in there for a few days. It'll be awesome!
So . . . let's see where we go from here.

What do you mean I'm not 25?
I notice that I didn't post anything the entire month of April. There's a reason for that . . . I turned 45! Ugh . . . .
I really don't think much about age. But, this birthday has done me in. I look in my mirror and I see the 25 year old (THIN) girl that moved to So Cal in 1990 (actually, I was 24). And then reality hits . . . I'm not 25, I'm <gulp> 45! What does this actually mean?
1. I'm officially old enough to be the mother of most professional basketball, baseball, and football players.
2. I'm old enough to be the mother of any college student and possibly grandmother of some.
3. I'm old enough to be the mother of any high school student and technically old enough to be the grandmother of most of them.
4. I'm old enough to be the grandmother of any junior high or elementary student. (The Boy goes to junior high in the Fall.)
5. My mother informed me that in 10 years, I'll officially be a senior citizen, and in 5 years, can join AARP. Thanks, Mom!
6. My perfect skin now needs more help. I've always moisturized, but now, I've added SPF 100 to my daily routine and I wear a big, Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm hat outside.
7. My naturally blonde hair now needs help and doesn't look natural, so I've gone Cherry Truffle. Looks good, but not as thick as it used to be either. :(
I'm really trying to embrace my age, but not be all "old." I'm no longer looking at young girl fashions, ala Miley Cyrus, but trying to avoid the mature older woman, ala Helen Mirren (although I hope I look as good as she does when I'm her age!). So where do I fall? Let's see . . . Julia Roberts, Sandra Bullock, Jenn Aniston, Courtney Cox, Diane Lane, Cindy Crawford, Janet Jackson, Brooke Shields, and Cindy Crawford are all about the same age (give or take a couple of years). Then there is Madonna and Demi Moore. Ok ladies, you are now inspiring me. I shall create a collage of photos of these women to keep me upbeat.
We'll see how this goes.

EVERYTHING happens for a reason
You hear this all the time . . . everything happens for a reason. I happen to be one of those people that truly believe that. There are times that I can't fathom the reason (as you'll see), but usually, it comes clear pretty soon.
Last week was Spring Break. We (the Family) were supposed to go to Washington, DC; however, financially, that really became impossible. So--we did a "staycation." The Family went to Las Vegas for 2 days, the Boy and I went to Universal Studies Hollywood (and took his BFF), and then, the Boy and I went to Knott's Berry Farm. There were shopping trips and and swimming days in between. This is the good part of living in Southern California--there is always something to do.
I was feeling kind of bummed to go to Vegas instead of DC. Afterall, I go to Vegas regularly with my Girlfriends. But, I have a good friend who was in Vegas. She wasn't there for fun though. Her oldest son had a horrific accident while riding his quad. He went headfirst into a concrete culvert, no helmet. His facial bones and some skull bones were crushed. He was airlifted to a hosptial in Vegas, underwent surgeries, and on Easter Sunday had a minor stroke. You can imagine the agony she and the rest of the family have been going through. So, when she called me and asked if I could take her younger son back to California when we went back. Eureka! This is why we couldn't go to DC.
So, while I still don't know why this family has to undergo this horrible ordeal, but one day that too will be made clear. Maybe not to me as it isn't mine to know, but hopefully, it will be made clear to them and more importantly, I pray for his full and speedy recovery.
