Ok, if anyone is looking for a last minute gift idea for me, this would be one that is not on my wishlist..

Let me give you some backstory on the Peace sign and the meaning behind it for me.  I am one of 11 children, yes you read that correctly.  My youngest brother and baby of our family Nic was 13 years younger than me and we were super close growing up and drifted a part a bit when I moved away, but always had a connections.  When Nic was 21 he was in a serious car crash.  With his injuries and everything he was dealing with, he most more frightened about my mom finding out he had a tattoo on the top of his thigh.  Nic had gotten this tattoo years before, but was always able to keep it hidden because of shorts.  Now he lays in his hospital bed with a broken back and afraid of what my mom was going to have to say about his Peace Sign tattoo…  So, when Nic passed away unexpectedly almost 2 years ago now at the young age of 36, the Peace Sign kind of become our symbol for him…    This is why I got the Peace sign tattoo on the wrist earlier this year, just reminds me of him…  Oh and the blue is because Nic was a HUGE Kentucky Wildcat fan.

Most of you that know me, know of the issues I have dealt with regarding my health the little over two years now.  I have been poked so many times, nearly every month if you think of the multiply times in a month I am poked.

Today I went for labs for my yearly physical and the nurse looked at my arms and said you have no veins.  I said I guess that is what the past two years has done to me.  She ask to see my hands and I showed her, dreading that she might want to drawl from the top of my hand.  She patted my hand, and decided that is where she was going…  bam!!  one tiny little prick and she was taking my blood.  Now I have had iv’s and such in my hands and they hurt like a motherfucker, but this girl got me with no problem!!!  Now I love my nurses at my drs office, but this girl was a rock star!!!

Hats off to those that choose to take care of others as their occupation, I for one appreciate you!!!

Is being a Grandma!!  I love my kids, but there is something about grandkids that is just different.  I’m not sure what it is, it may even be seeing your kids with theirs, but it is amazing.  I hope I don’t bore y’all with Grandma talk, but I just can’t help myself.  So I said in a previous post that I was trying to figure things out so that I could make the trip to Chicago in July and I will in fact be doing so.  I will be there for my Birthday, which is just 39 days away in case you live in a cave.  I want to thank Marc and Mtnman for their generosity in sending me Southwest G/c for early bday gifts, y’all ROCK and you make my heart feel good and I am so thankful!!

Thank you Marc for the gift! I can’t wait to use this, it leaves my feet so soft!!! xoxo

If you live in NKY or have driven through it, you know about this.. I’m getting myself one these!

My new color on my fingers and toes!!!

A onesie I got for my Grandson, I told my kids it was his outfit for my Bday. I am always stealing Grandma kisses when I am with him.

I am kind of a TV head,  and Rob and I love to find a good show that we can watch an episode here and there and of course I have my weekly regulars..  Right now we are watching a show on Amazon called “The Killing”.  We are near the end of season two and I still am not sure who killed the girl.  Every time I think I have it figured out, BAM, something happens..   (If you would like other shows we have watched, let me know and I’ll give you a few suggestions.  And if you have suggestions for me..fire away.   With that said, I do not do aliens or vampires and some sci-fy is hard for me to get into, LOL…

Now my weekly shows that are still on regular tv, some I watch myself and some Rob and I watch together..

I watch all the Chicago shows, Fire, PD, Med and for the time being Justice, not sure if I really like this one or not.

Rob and I watch Modern Family, The Americans

So, yep I’m a tv head…  let me know what you like!!!

Ok, this snake situation is really starting to piss me the hell off!!!  Incase you live in a cave and you don’t know this… I HATE snakes, I mean I really HATE them..  I have never liked them and to me there is no good snakes.  I really do not care if they eat the bugs or whatever.  I don’t care that they are harmless.  I don’t even care if it is a dead snake..  I don’t want any part of any snake.  

In the last twenty-four hours our cat Tucker has brought in two snakes, this makes about 5 or 6 this year!!  This cat is seriously looking for a new home I think, LOL..    If you pray, say a prayer for Tucker, because he is about to become homeless…  

So where did May go?  It just flew by us… well two weeks of that I was in Chicago with my fam and LOVING every single minute of it.  I’m just going to up it out there and say I have one of the cutest grandsons around, and he is so good and always smiling.. 

I am hoping I can get tickets & airbnb worked out so that I can go again in July.  This trip is one that was unplanned, so was not in my travel budget, LOL.  We will have to see if I can make it happen.  We already have an LA trip planned for the end of July, but that is easy as we will drive…  Fingers crossed we work it out.

I do want to say a couple of thank yous…  And yes, I am updating my wishlist as I have had a couple people ask me about it since my birthday is right around the corner, 48 days to be exact!!!

WISHLIST

Thanks for the Amazon Card Marc, you are so thoughtful!!!

Thank you Marc for my new bracelet!! Daisies are my favorite and were my Mom’s favorite too!!! xoxo

Now this is hilarious! Friends found this in an antique shop and though to me and my collection.. It has a snow making machine inside, LOL . (Thanks again)

Eric thanks again for the dress, I love it!!! You are always so sweet!!

One of my new favorite cups & Swedish Fish too from dear friends.

I am always flattered by peoples generosity when sending me gifts.  There is nothing like getting a little surprise in the mail every once in a while that you were not expecting.  So, I thank you from the bottom of my heart, y’all mean the world to me.  THANK YOU!!!  The clothing I will be using in a couple of weeks, Rob and I have a picture day planned at a local hotel!!!

My sister asked me to make a wreath for her for a contest she was in for the Aux of her VFW.   She threw in comments about it being for the Veteran’s and to make our Dad proud, how was I to say no??  So I sent her the wreath about two weeks ago.  She text me today that we were nominated to go to state to be judged, which is in June!!  woohoo!!   So here is our wreath, we had to include Poppies in the wreath.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone tells me they are going to do something and then they don’t.  It doesn’t matter if it is friends, family or a business, it jus really irates me.  My Drs office changed boy appt for my treatment this week because of a miscommunication between on of their office people and myself.  The thing is, I was never even told about the new appt, which was changed from the 9th to the 16th.  I can not push my appt out a week as it will through my May treatment off a week and that is when I am suppose to be in Chicago with my grandson.  I went into the office yesterday and did my labs, they were going to call me by their end of day and I heard nothing.  So now I have to be that pain in the ass patient that has to call back in today to find out when my appointment is…  I love my oncology nurses as you know, I bake them cookies every time I go in for treatment, but sometimes things fall through the cracks, I just can’t be one of those things, LOL.

Another thing while I am ranting.. It really bothers me when someone says, “I’m sorry I have just been to busy to..call/write/text.. It takes not even a minute to text and say that and it is much for courtesy than just blowing someone off and tell them that after the fact.

Ok, done ranting for the day..

I officially became a grandmother on January 28th.  Our little Logan was 11 days overdue and came into the world weighing 8 pounds 11 ounces and was 22 inches long.  Mommy, Daddy and baby are great and enjoying time as a family.  I was very fortunate to enjoy the first two weeks with them in Chicago.  I even extended my visit by two days at their request.  Now I may be bias, but my grandson is simply amazing..  So cute with two big dimples like his mommy.  He is a very good baby so far, they are very blessed.  They are discussing a visit in March for Spring Training and I will be back in Chicago in early May to help them with the transition back to work.

This week we have a very busy schedule, I’m doing two Members Cams, shooting pics for my site and then shooting a BBG Tues & Thursday and shooting content tomorrow night for two new sites we are working on.

So, tomorrow is Valentine’s Day, anything fun planned??

Just wanted to share some random pics with you.  I promise you I will try to be better with my post, things have just been super busy.. 

I truly want to thank all of you for your generosity, I’m flattered and feel completely blessed to have such special people in my life.  Also, thanks Paul for my throw and Southwest g/c..

I tweeted that I was making this dish for Thanksgiving and was asked to share it..  I made it last year and it was yummy!  Enjoy and if you make it, let me know what you think….

Ingredients:

2 pkgs frozen corn (12 oz)

8 oz cream cheese

2 TBS Sugar

1 tsp salt

1/4 tsp salt

Instructions:

Place corn in crock pot.

Cut butter and cream into cubes and place in crock pot.

Add sugar, salt and pepper.

Still well, cover and cook on low for 4 hours or high for 2.

Stir at least once halfway through.

**I PURCHASED CROCK POT BAGS AND PLACE ONE IN MINE AND THEY PUT ALL THE INGREDIENTS INSIDE.  AFTER DINNER, THE EMPTY BAG GOES IN THE TRASH.  MAKES CLEANUP A LITTLE BIT EASIER ON A BUSY DAY!!**

Since Thanksgiving is just a week away, I thought for the next week I would post something everyday for which I am Thankful.  Where else is there to begin than with all of you?!?!?

I started my site way back in 1998 and NEVER would I have imagined I would still be here today sharing with all of you.  I have said it before, but will say it again… it is because of all of you that I am still online. 

I appreciate your support and your encouragement, not only of my site, by my health and my personal life.  You all have been there through many highs and lows with me and when there were times perhaps you should have run for the bushes, you stayed and supported me.  I only hope I have given back to you what you have given to me.

I have met some amazing people while being online.  Some of them have becoming my very best friends.  Friends not just of mine, but my family.. 

So, thank you so very much to everyone that has interacted with me online or have supported me in anyway what so ever, I am forever grateful!!!
