Memorial Day Post....at 1:20 am on the Day after.....

It was a good day today.  The entire family was over after 6:00 pm and I grilled hamburgers and hot dogs.  Just a nice get together for all of us.   Don spent the majority of the day with Phoenix which was nice and of course Phoenix and I had our time together this morning.
Jon and Irma brought an oreo ice cream cake!  Amazing!  I hadn't had ice cream cake in decades!  Oh, and I even got to go to the grocery store by myself!  No hubby or grandson to distract me!  That meant that I made the entire trip within an hour there, shopping and back with all the groceries put away...well, true I only picked up what I needed for the grilling, but it still was a very quick trip!  I get my day off tomorrow and Wednesday which is always nice.  They will be quiet days as my BFF is away on vacation.  This means I won't have any dinner plans other than what I decide to make for myself (which I'm assuming will be a burger or hot dog...maybe both!)  It's nice to get the grill fired up and cook up some yummy food for everyone.  Think I'd better start planning a bit better though.  Everything works out so much smoother that way!  I don't like to buy my meat until the day of though...just don't like it sitting in the fridge for a couple of days.  I'd rather have it fresh from store to grill.
I hope you all had good days too.
I know I haven't blogged like I thought I would, but it's a chore to get back into the groove if you know what I mean.  But, if you plan it, execute it for 7 days, it becomes habit.  A good habit too.
Going to watch a bit of t.v. (recorded Texas Rising) and then off to sleep, providing I CAN sleep.  Well, no way to know unless I try, right?
Oh...Movie recommendation!  TQ and I rented "Still Alice" with Julieanna Moore.  It's about a woman who is a linguist and she gets early onset Alzheimers.  So sad and she's such a wonderful actress...if you watch, grab some tissue!  Buh-Bye!

Wednesday's Wonders

Ah, Wednesday...my Sunday.  Today's plan?  Not much....until after my hubby goes to work and TQ (twentysomething queen) takes "the Boom" (nickname for my grandson) out for the day.  So, sometime after 2:00 pm.  And even so, what I'll be doing is nothing much....mostly just "taking it easy" as hubby puts it.  TQ rented the movie Taken 3 for me which I plan to enjoy at my leisure!  Feeling better today than I did yesterday....way better.  Sometimes I just get so low.  But it's a new day and maybe I'll get something accomplished besides watching a movie today.

I did get some laundry done yesterday, so that's a plus.  Maybe vacuuming is on the agenda for a bit later on today.  I don't have too much to blog about right now, but there's always a chance that I'll come back later and add something.  Out for now...

*Sigh*.....

I'm back....my laptop is fixed (it's been sick for a long time) and I found this blogging site once again...thinking I'm going to hang out a bit now.  My amazing grandson is now 3 and actually lets me have computer time while I'm watching him...just for a few minutes anyway!

The saddest part of my day today was when I walked out to the garage and saw that my husband had backed the car out already...I looked at the cat and thought...wow, she's getting a really good stretch there.  Then as I looked at the car, the cat, the situation I realized that my husband had run her over with both tires of his car.  It horrible!  I panicked and didn't know what to do.  She passed away before we could do anything for her.  She never would have made it to the vet.  In a way, it was pretty quick, but in my eyes, it was soooo long.  I know she must have suffered but it didn't last long.  Aw God I hate seeing that happen again!  Last time it was ME who ran over the old cat (Mr. Shoe).  I know hubby feels just awful and I do too.  Miss Kiss was over 15 and had been losing weight the past several months.  I don't think she was going to last too much longer, but it still hurts seeing it happen.  A very sad day here.

I will be trying to keep up better with this blog.  Now I have a bit of time, and like I said, my computer is working again.  I need the outlet, and having at least 1 person here who reads my posts will be nice.  Perhaps I can challenge myself to be more mindful of my blog time.  I love to write (I know, I know, we all do and all wish that we were writers of some sort) and have found over the years that I really do think better (sorting out me, if you will) when I take the time to write my thoughts out and ease em around my brain.  

Say a prayer for my Kissy Marue who I'm hoping has already crossed over the rainbow bridge and said hello to Korky, Traz, Nikki and Mr. Shoe.  

Bless her little kitty heart.....
