It’s My Life

I’ve moved

Sorry to have been MIA for a while. Tomorrow I have to go in and get some parts fixed. So hopefully everything will work out well and all my parts will be in working order for Valentines Day.

Mommy needs to get back out there and sell some more Slumber Parties =)

Wish me luck readers

Ok I have been a Gator fan for the last 30 years. So me rooting for them isn’t a huge surprise. However the win is so oh so fucking sweet. I feel sorry for the Sooner coach but not that much.

I love my boys and I will always love them and support them… I’m just glad that the best boys won

The Dash
(copyright 1996 Linda Ellis)

I read of a man who stood to speak
at the funeral of a friend.
He referred to the dates on her tombstone
from the beginning…to the end.

He noted that first came the date of her birth
and spoke of the following date with tears,
but he said what mattered most of all
was the dash between those years.

For that dash represents all the time
that she spent alive on earth…
and now only those who loved her
know what that little line is worth.

For it matters not, how much we own;
the cars….the house…the cash.
What matters is how we live and love
and how we spend our dash.

So think about this long and hard…
are there things you’d like to change?
For you never know how much time is left
that can still be rearranged.

If we could just slow down enough
to consider what’s true and real,
and always try to understand
the way other people feel.

And be less quick to anger,
and show appreciation more
and love the people in our lives
like we’ve never loved before.

If we treat each other with respect,
and more often wear a smile…
remembering that this special dash
might only last a little while.

So, when your eulogy is being read
with your life’s actions to rehash…
would you be proud of the things they
say about how you spend your dash?

I just might be.

It took me until today to notice that when I move my mouse, the snow follows.

OH LOOK…. bright shiny

In honor of Christmas, I give you one of my favorite videos

My Christmas wouldn’t be complete without a visit to Christmas past

Or this one. This one is for my friend Steph.

There may have been drinking involved when shooting these videos.

I’m just saying.

*sigh* I am so glad to be home. You can’t even imagine.

I Love Christmas and Christmas lights so every year I spend way too much time on YouTube looking at stuff like this-

I know I have been MIA for awhile.  I have been a huge slacker when it comes to blogging. My friend (HI SHEILA) told me and some other friends that we need to get back to blogging, so here I am.

So what’s happened since my last post…

I’m back to doing Slumber Parties full-time – So if you want to book a party or need some products, let me know.

My son turned 13. Yeah, bring on the teenage years.

We got a new president. WOO HOO

Other than that nothing much is really going on.

I promise I will update more frequently. Really I will

I have had many family members and friends who have served in the armed forces. I just want to say Thank you for protecting our freedom and for putting your lives on the line for the millions and millions of us.
Nothing I can say will ever convey how much love I have for you so please understand when I say thank you it is with tears running down my face and I can’t express how much love I have for you.

This week my son thinks I’m cool. Why do you ask? Because I studied French in high school, which is what he is studying now. He can’t get enough of me this week and I am loving every second of it since I know as soon as it started it will be over

I’m going to enjoy it while it lasts.
