Wow! This year has just flown by.
I hope that you all had a great Christmas. Ours was so-so...not the greatest Christmas on record---but I am glad that it is over. My brother was here with me again---we had a nice visit and then our sister came in from the capitol today and my brother and I went to visit her at her in-law's house.
So---we've got a visitor---another dog---my dog's (Maddie) sister. I am trying to find a good home for her. She was with one of my boyfriend's friends....but I guess he has too many dogs out in the dog "pen" that he has and the neighbors are complaining. She's staying with us for a few days.....but I am trying to find a good home for her. She is 16 months old and has a very sweet demeanor. She is very loving and I think that she does long for affections. She will come over to me at times and will "stand" up on me as if saying "Pick me up....love me." She's a full-blooded beagle, by the way. I will post some pics later.
I was sitting here looking through my blog and that is one thing I didn't do a lot of this year. I usually do my year in review....but it looks like I don't have a lot to go on. Guess I will have to write that one from my head.
So...I am going to be leaving here soon to take my kiddo over to her friend's house for the night.....I hope she gets a move on soon---it's almost 9 here and I would like to go to bed soon.
Later......

Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Thanksgiving week already??? Gosh time just seems to fly by.
School is in full swing---1st marking period is over and my kiddo acheived HIGH HONORS!!! Party over here!!!
I am just a little disappointed though---she was going to try out for swim team....but backed out at the last minute!! She pretty much talked herself out of it and was sure she wouldn't make the team---but it's way too late now---we'll never know.
I am still working full time----Jade's still riding when she can---but school work takes up a lot of time these days.
Hope you all have a grand and glorious Thanksgiving weekend by spending time with the ones who mean the most to you!!!

Moving
This is the week that we move. We are moving into a 100 year old farm house on the other side of town.
We had 6 inches of snow here a few weeks ago....it was crazy---they even ended up canceling school. Too early for winter I think!! But now we are back to more seasonable temps.
Kiddo's doing great in school & has adjusted well to the high school life. She's even thinking about trying out for the swim team.

Moving soon....
Our lease is up here on October 31....so we've got like three weeks to move. We haven't even found anything yet!! Ugh!!!
We did go look at a place last week....I wasn't exactly thrilled with it and neither was Jade...so we decided to keep on looking. It's been a real pain. People love to play games I have noticed. One lady e-mailed me and said that she wanted to rent out her house for a year. She gave me her phone # and I called her....left a message...no return call. I e-mailed her again and asked if the house was still available---she said it was and that I was to call her "tomorrow night" and we'd talk. I called her---she answered the phone and kind of gave me the brush off and told me to call her back and leave her a message and she would get in touch with me later. So---I called her back---left a detailed message and she never called me back. So considerate of her!!!
Another place that I called about---a guy answered the phone and said that the place would be ready in a few weeks. I couldn't get in to see it because the maintenance people were doing some painting, etc., so the guy took my # and said he would call to set up appointments. Oh, he called me alright. He was setting up appointments for Friday afternoon---and he wanted me to pretty much just drop everything in the middle of my work day to come look at the place. He got really quiet when I told him that I worked until 4:30 and would not be able to get there before then. Obviously, this guy doesn't realize that people do work for a living. He was rather curt and said "Well, I suppose I 'could' call the owners and give them your name and number and see if they can show it to you sometime." Yeah....I am still waiting on that call too.
So we are running out of time---and I decided that we may as well go with that place we looked at last week---not that I want to....just desperation...to make sure that we've got a roof over our heads in a few weeks. Been calling that guy and all we get is an answering machine!!! UGH!!!!!!!!!! Why does this have to be so difficult!!!????
Pray for us....that we will find something this week!!
I will keep you posted.
Night!!

Happy Birthday!!!
My kiddo is 15 years old today!!!! Hard to believe. To celebrate---I am posting a pic of me and her when she was about 6 months old. This was taken on Easter of '95. Wasn't she sweet??? Wonder where all those years went??? My dad used to ask me the same thing on my birthday. Ha!
Looks like we need to get busy and start planning-----got a big party to prepare for next October.....Sweet 16!!!

Are you North, South, East, or West???
| You Are North |
 People admire that you are so confident and independent. You seem to have the world figured out. Sometimes you come across as pushy and aggressive... not that you mind! You like being seen as tough. You make a fairly good leader, especially in times that require grit and ruthlessness. You are a warrior. |

Interesting find...
I don't watch a lot of TV...yeah, there are certain shows that I like to watch...but I am not a big one for watching the good ole "boob-tube".
Last weekend I was channel surfing and there was a show on called "The Oprah Effect". Interesting documentary...I watched and there was a lady featured on the show. She did an experiement where she decided to "live Oprah" for a year. She did this in 2008 and blogged about her experiences. I just recently started to read her blog. I went back to the beginning and am working my way forward. It's kinda interesting.
I must admit that I am somewhat of a fan of Oprah....I don't get to watch her show because when it's on here I am usually at work. I used to set it to tape shows that I had interest in so that I could watch them later--but since my vcr and cable box don't seem to be compatible--I can't do that anymore.
If you are interesting in the link to this gal's blog...here it is:
www.livingoprah.com
_________________________________________________________
Here we are in mid-September already. My dad used to tell me when I was a kid that "the older you get, the faster the years move." Boy.....was he right!!
We are going to be on the move again....ugh!! I hate moving!! I was hoping to stay in this place for at least another year....but the guy that owns this place is selling it to his brother. I've been looking for another place to rent...but a real estate agent contacted me about buying. I was a little aprehensive about buying---only because my plans are to move from this area in like 4 years (after Jade graduates) so I asked him what the point in buying would be. He said that it was do-able and that I would have a little bit of equity built up by that time so it wouldn't be a total loss. Well....pray for me and Jade in hopes that we can get into something soon. Our lease is up on November 1. I think at this point whether we buy something small....or rent another place....it's gonna be just me and Jade. I don't think Glen is coming along.....yeah...this relationship is slowly dying........That's a whole different story.
So I am off to dye my hair....put some ham/green beans/potatoes in the crock pot.....then I am going to dye my hair (Jade asked me to have it done before Back to school night!! She "doesn't want anyone to know that I am an old lady!" Lol...she is soooo funny!!).
Have a great Sunday!!

Back to school...
Can you believe it??? My baby started high school on Thursday!! She had a great first day----only got lost once!!
She went to the high school football game last night and she said that a boy in 10th grade asked her if she wanted to go to the game with him---she said she told him "I don't know." She ended up going with her friends, but she did say that she did see him at the game.
Today she's off to the PSU game with another friend.....gosh!! This girl's got a huge social calendar!! I can hardly keep up sometimes.
Our county fair is finally over----Jade did great!! She took her horse and showed another horse for a local farm. They brought home 8 ribbons and placed in 10 events!!
Talk about scary-----some girl was hanging around the barn....a lot according to Jade. She ended up lifting Jade's cell phone number off the emergency contacts on the horse stalls.....and on Tuesday (the last day of showing for Jade)....this girl was texting her!!! Jade had completed her in hand classes and took one of the horses back to the stalls. She came out to me and said "What the hell is this?" I said "What??" She read me the text "Jade, this is so -and-so. I was hanging around Sonny and Ariana's stalls." Jade just ignored it.....several hours later she gets another text..."Are you there?"......Jade ignored it. Then later that evening when she was done showing and we were cleaning up to go home she got yet another text.....but this one was a picture of some sort...it came up as an error and Jade's phone wouldn't open it. Thank God!!! Because who knows what it would have been!!! WHY CAN'T PEOPLE JUST MIND THEIR OWN BUSINESS!!!!!!!!
Jade said that this gal has not attempted to contact her since that day. I hope she got the message and will just let well enough alone.

Quiet
Wow...I was just looking through my old blog...the one that was carried over from AOL....I am amazed at how much I actually "wrote" back then...these days I don't blog as much.
Is it because of the lack of time anymore...or is it because I am just not as open as I used to be???

Sunday night crash
Glenn was taking Jade over to her friend's house on Sunday night. They were gone for about 10 minutes when Jade called me in hysterics. I couldn't understand a word she was saying. Finally, Glenn yelled through the phone for me to come because they were in a car accident.
Thank goodness no one was hurt.

These didn't exactly come out in the order I expected.....but this is a view from our motel room in Virginia Beach.
These are pics taken @ The Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel.

Lab Rat..........
I went through a screening process here at our local university and guess what???
I am going to be a Lab rat for 6 months. It's a diet and exercise study.
On my way to bed right now....but I will post more later to let you all know what I will be doing.
Time flies.....I can't believe it's nearly August already!!
Hope all is well in the blogging world...I hope to get caught up with everyone this weekend.

Couldn't come up with a catchy title...so I just used the date.
I am just now finishing up beginner's obedience and agility training with my beagle. We have one more class left. Then I think it's on to novice classes. They introduced agility this evening and Maddie seems to be picking up on it quite well. It will be a while before I can enter her in any shows or anything like that.
So, Jade's done with school--finally!! They just got done last Wednesday.
We are heading off on vacation next week. I am taking Jade to her family reunion in Virginia Beach, VA....this will be our first time there---to Virginia Beach and to the family reunion. We usually hang out at Rehoboth and Dewey in Delaware. We do have plans to stop there either on the way to or on the way back from Virginia. Should be an interesting time---haven't seen any of that family since Jade's dad passed away nearly 3 years ago.
I am getting ready to go to bed...now that school is out I can get up and get to work super early---stay late and leave early on Fridays!! I love it!

Summer is upon us
Time certainy flies by. I am lucky to get a post in every now and then. Mostly I just don't have the time like I used to or I will sit here and type an entire post and blogger gives me an error message. Sometimes I have to ask myself "Is it worth it?"
School is almost done for the year....my baby will go to high school in the fall. We'll be leaving in about 3 weeks to go to her family reunion---that should be quite the event. Don't worry---will have lots of pics.
Jade's got a big secret---she doesn't really want anyone to know---but I am going to spill the beans. She was accepted as a state finalist in a teen pageant. However, we are looking for sponsors--and need $440 by Monday to hold her spot. If we don't get it---then so be it. I've already hit the pavement here in our town with no luck.
My sister was in an auto accident a few weeks ago. She dropped her husband off at work and then was going home--she blacked out and crashed into a parked truck. Thank goodness she was OK and did not hit anyone!!!
Maddie was to the vet yesterday. She was spayed. She is doing ok for the moment. She goes back in about 8 to 10 days to get her stitches removed.
Gotta go get ready for work!

Kickin' off the summer!
Whoa!! I can't believe it's Memorial Day weekend already!!
My town is having a huge celebration like they always do....they claim that it's the "birthplace" of Memorial Day. But then again, I am sure there are many other places who lay claim to the same thing. There's a big parade today and then lots of stuff going on this Monday.
Summer is going to be really busy for us. We'll be going on vacation in about 5 weeks. We're going to Jade's family reunion in Virginia Beach. I am kind of excited to go.
Jade's been busy with riding and school. Counting down the final days of school---but they go until June 17th!!! She's got a horse s

What's up????
I just tried to do a post....didn't work...I got a "bad request". I think that was why I didn't post any pictures the last time.
I am uncertain about the future of this blog. I don't post a lot like I used to. But I am very active on Facebook and My space, so if any of my regular followers want to keep up with me in that aspect, send me a note or comment and I will give you information on how to find me there.
Hope you all had a great mother's day. Mine was spent quietly at home --just as I like it! Jade made me some Strawberry blossoms--yummy!!

Greetings
Hello, blog world!
It's hot and sunny here in PA...I am lovin' this warm weather. Now if it will just stay this way.
What's new in my world??? Not a lot--same old same old here....but I am looking for a part time job for nights and I just renewed my Mary Kay wholesale number and may start selling that again to earn some extra cash.
One of these days I will get around to posting some updated pictures on here.
Jade's been busy with horse shows, etc., since the weather is warming up. Sonny is doing good, and he loves to be in the show ring.
We're going on vacation to Virginia Beach this summer--going to Jade's family reunion. Yep...this will be the first time ever for us. It should prove interesting.
I went to the beauty salon on Thursday---I asked for my hair to be cut---and that I wanted "my ears to be cut out again..." Yeah, well---I came home pretty much scalped!! Good thing it's only hair and that it will grow back and hopefully quickly!!
I may do another entry here and post a few pics this evening.

Easter Sunday
Happy Easter everyone! I hope this a great day for you all.
We are just spending a quiet day at home. I baked a cake this morning...and then put the ham in the oven. It's starting to smell quite yummy in here. I am not going to extremes today---just ham w/pineapple, sweet potatoes, mixed veggies, and cake for dessert.
Jade had a horse show yesterday...and I had wanted to blog about that today...but Glenn is here and when I get on the computer, he LOVES to sit behind me and read everything I write and watch everything I do when I am on-line....I don't need a baby sitter...so I am going to sign off now.

March Madness
Do you like basketball??? I am not a huge fan----but we've got one of those "pools" going at work. A mass e-mail was sent out to everyone and it cost $5 to be in it. I decided not to participate----I don't think I would do well in picking who would win the games.
I am fighting off some sort of something---I came home from work on Friday feeling like crap!! Just aching all over---I went straight to bed. Now I've got a hacking cough...and I pee when I cough (lol).....I've been taking some over-the-counter cough medication. It does help some---but not much.
Glenn took me out for breakfast this morning----I loaded up on orange juice while we were there. Not sure that is helping much either. Well---I will give it a few more days and if I am not better, then I will call the good ole doc who will graciously take my co-pay to tell me that I have a virus.
Jade is off to the barn this afternoon---her and her friends.....ah, the teen years....mom gets left behind. It's all cool though----I love the little bit of piece and quiet that I do get.
I have some new pis of Jade and Sonny that I should really post soon. Maybe I will try to do that after I do this entry.
So----I booked rooms at Virginia Beach for Jade's family reunion----yep, I told everyone come hell or high water I am going to Jade's family reunion this year. Now whether Jade goes along or not---well that's a different story. I did make the reservation for 2. I am sure she will change her mind and go along.
I am off to see what's going on in the blogging world----I don't spend much time here--I am either on Facebook or My Space.
Ttyl!! Have a great Sunday afternoon!

Now whether Jade goes along or not---well that's a different story. I did make the reservation for 2. I am sure she will change her mind and go along.
I am off to see what's going on in the blogging world----I don't spend much time here--I am either on Facebook or My Space.
Ttyl!! Have a great Sunday afternoon!

Finally Friday
I am glad that today is finally Friday--it's been a rather long week.
My brother is coming over for a visit this weekend. We're taking him with us to Comedy Club tonight over at the motel. Raymond the Amish Comic is there tonight--that should be funny. Can't wait to go.
I think winter is finally leaving us. It's around 50 today---I love it!!

Hello!
Can't believe it's March already!
For starters, the wedding is on hold indefinitely. I am just really not sure that I want to get married right now. Granted we've known each other a long time and are great friends, but I am just not sure that I want to commit to someone as insecure as he is. For instance, if I am out running errands or taking Jade out to drop her off at the barn and I am not back home by the time he thinks I should be---he's calling me..."Where are you at?" It's frustrating. I am trying to be good and get back on the diet wagon----guess what??? He doesn't like the fact that we have a gym here at work and that I stay late several nights a week to work out. He's actually told me to not go to the gym after work..."just come straight home." Why do people change when you move in with them or marry them???
Onward----guess what we did a few weeks ago??? Registered Jade for classes at the high school!! I cannot believe my baby will be going to high school this fall!!! Amazing, isn't it???
Jade's doing great....Sonny is doing great. The first horse show of the season is coming up at the end of this month. Jade's been trying to teach me how to show Sonny in halter classes. (lol) I don't know if I will do it or not, but it's still fun to learn.
My brother is coming over this weekend. We're taking him to Comedy Club with us. He went with us one other time and he really had a good time.
I am at work typing this entry....so I gotta get moving before I get b-u-s-t-e-d.
Will catch up on everyone's blogs soon!!

A year in review-----2008
Last year when many of us were blogging over in AOL J-land, we were "challenged" to look back over the previous year and do an entry regarding the first entry of each month in our blogs. It was interesting to go back over the year and list the high lights. So here's my 2008 year in review.....hope to see yours soon!
JANUARY 2008 ----> Not a lot of posts in January, but I did learn through quizzes that I am a 70% tortured genius.
FEBRUARY 2008----> I lost my job due to new owners at my place of employment---they let all the "old" management go.
I used to have shoulder length hair----I decided that it was time for a change. I got it ct short and was even sporting a new color.
I received a NICE MATTERS award on my blog from my good friend Sunny who lives in California.
MARCH 2008 --> I spent much of March searching for a new job. I interviewed with a former employer and they hired me back....I start in April.
APRIL 2008 ----> I started my new job with a former employer.
I also discovered through qizzes tha I am a BUSY BEE, a HAZELNUT, and CORNFLAKES!!
MAY 2008 -----> My daughter Jade fell from the horse she was riding at a horse show and broke her wrist.
A fellow that I have known for 14 years asked me out for dinner.
JUNE 2008 ----> My eldest nephew died from injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident.
Glenn and I are officially dating.
I was finally able to give Jade her very own horse. "Sonny" came home on June 30.
JULY 2008 ----> I turned 41!!!!!
We got a new kitten --- "Simba"
AUGUST 2008 ------> Glenn gave me a huge diamond and wants to get married. We did set a tentative date.
My car was demolished in a car crash on August 20th.
Jade took Sonny to the county fair and showed him in his first ever horse show. It was great to see that all Jade's hard work over the summer paid off. They brought home a first and second place ribbon.
I always bake goodies and put them in the fair for judging----my cookies got 1st place and my pie came in 5th.
SEPTEMBER 2008 ----> I started another job. Since Glenn and I were dating, I decided that I didn't want to work in same place as he, so I found another job. This one I plan on staying at for a while.
Jade started 8th grade.
My aunt passed away. I now have only one aunt still living.
OCTOBER 2008 ----> Jade turned 14
NOVEMBER 2008 ---> We moved in with Glenn.
DECEMBER 2008 ----> It was great to get to spend some time with a few of my siblings this Christmas.

Happy 2009!!!!
Happy New Year everyone!!
I know that I have been very lax in posting here on a regular basis. I apologize for that. I have been so busy with worki8ng, moving, and getting ready for the holidays that I haven't had a lot of time for anything. There's so much that has happened over the past few months that I don't even know where to begin.
How was your Christmas?? Ours was OK. We brought my brother over from the personal care home for a few days. He really enjoyed being here with us. Our sister came in from Camphill for a few days over Christmas weekend. We all got together and had a really nice time. The first picture above is of my brother (Ed) and me. The second picure is (from L to R) my sister Cathy, my brother Ed, and me. There's more in our family, we didn't have an opportunity to catch up with the others this Christmas.
I got a new digital camera for Christmas. My other one was ancient and Glenn and Jade (especially) thought it was about time for me to get updated with my technology. Now all I need is a new computer.

Jade was sick for about the whole month of December. We were to the hospital ER twice and to the doctor twice. She missed an entire week of school!! They thought it was appendicitis---but it wasn't. It ended up being a very bad UTI.
Hopefully, 2009 will find me blogging a little more than I have been.....I know I have heard from a few people that they like to keep up with what's going on with me and Jade.
Take care!!!
