Not Sure What I'm Doing

I haven't quite gotten the hang of this yet. Considering that I don't really have a confidante, and that I talk to myself incessantly, you'd think this would be a great outlet.

Maybe I'll think of something to air here, before everyone runs away screaming.

She's In My Head

And she says it so much better than I ever could.

Absolutely Nothing Novel Or Unique

Weekend? What weekend?

So yesterday we had the joint birthday party for our son (he turned 18 last Thursday) and our granddaughter (she turned 3 last Friday) in the local park. The whole weekend was a blur, since both we and our daughter are down a vehicle. I spent Saturday chauffeuring her around for last minute needs for the party and then yesterday, it was all about the party itself.

Of course it was fun watching her open her presents, she was very funny. And the son was excited about the book store gift we gave him. I have to go to BAM today at lunch and pick up his pre-purchased copy of the new book in the Eragon series.

So, last night, I told my husband that I didn't feel like I'd had a weekend at all. Hopefully, next weekend, we won't have any plans and I can just putz around the house. At least I can hope.....

This Is Important Stuff

My first attempt to embed a video. It's so very important that it gets out there, though, I had to try.

I'm Thinking of Buying A Horse

So, I'm sitting at home waiting for a tow truck to pick up our sad little car and take it to the shop. It died Tuesday when my husband was on his way to work. If it's the timing belt, as he suspects, it's going to cost a little over $700 to fix. We don't have it, so I'll probably have to get a payroll advance from work. This is how things are, and I'm grateful that I can count on my boss to help us out on this.

Our dogs are confused that I'm still here, so they're watching out the window expectantly, waiting for something to happen. They'll go ballistic when the truck gets here.

When It Rains, etc., etc., etc.

I've had so much crap happening lately, I decided I needed to start a blog just to have somewhere to vent. I won't go into the details now - maybe later, ok? I'm a 40-something grandmother with a high school senior still living at home. My husband and I struggle to make ends meet, like most everyone else. He (and his father) taught me to enjoy NASCAR (I know, I know) and we like to go to events from time to time.

We have a 20-something daughter, who now has a daughter of her own, and our son is now an 18-year-old high school senior.

Oh well, that's enough intro for now. I suspect that it will take a while to get into the habit of writing my thoughts, considering that I usually think I'm losing my mind, but we'll muddle through and see how it goes!

Thanks for listening.
