Last weekend and what a spur of the moment plan we made and pulled it off. A great weekend that I will never forget. Relaxing, quiet, no agenda, a hot tub, the beach, the aquarium, East of Chicago Pizza and Sub.

Waking up to the most beautiful sunrise and watching the magnificent sunsets...chuckling...taking about 300 pictures...walking the beach picking up shells, a windy walk out on the pier, the excitement of my companion of her first trip to our beach,wonderful company, tender moments, breakfast in bed, the 3 hr drive down that turned into 6 LOL...yes I had to stop who knows how many times...same thing on the way home.....

did I mention nachos and cheese while driving....a weekend to remember and the best beach trip I've had since I was a teenager

Topped off Monday with a special card and note, yep she is an amazing woman

Today I became an "official" statistic...not sure how I feel about that...tomorrow it probably won't matter...

bigbutchmistie · 02-17-2011, 08:42 PM

mostly how sick I feel. Im so tired, and sick. And sick and tired is never good combined.

Im the world's biggest baby when Im sick. Its times like these that I wished I had a wife...

But then I gave up dreaming about that...

WolfyOne · 02-18-2011, 10:27 AM

Are ya'll ready for my good news, lol

In a week, I move into a mobile I rented
It's not the best and not the worst place I ever lived
It's inexpensive and they'll take all my rescues without a pet deposit
The park is small, just 31 mobiles and quiet
When I did a walk through yesterday, I found some things needed fixing
So, one more week, but better safe than have have headaches once I'm there
The ride to work will only be about 15 minutes
What the hell will I do with an extra 2 hours a day
I won't have to wake up at 3:30am after next week....YAY!!!!!
Starting over from the ground up and slowly moving forward a step at a time

Whats on my mind??? WELL. what is on my mind is a dear friend. One who tried to lend a helping hand to someone, only to have it bitten off. Her home and privacy invaded, monetary damages, besides the emotional damage. And when seeking comfort from friends, is given sh*t for it! The lord says to turn the other cheek, but why when that cheek gets slapped to!
THATS what on my mind.

Soft*Silver · 02-18-2011, 08:23 PM

whats on my mind is a really good friend of mine from Mass. She and I have exchanged horses over the years. She contacted me because she knew of the enormous loss of my dog. She just wanted to let me know she was still holding onto my last foal my farm ever birthed, just to send to me. He wasnt going anywhere, if he wasnt going to me. Oh and by the way, all my tack and my saddle I gave her, she still had. It was coming home to me too.

For a woman who just suffered a huge loss, to hear that a damn good friend saved things that should have been other huge losses from being huge losses, well, lets just say I am still wiping tears off my face and we hung up a half an hour ago....

A phone conversation with Timber and WT
advice and concern, gotta love your spirit family
Thank you both.

10) And if that wasn't enough, Republicans are pushing to eliminate all funds for the only federal family planning program. (For humans. But Republican Dan Burton has a bill to provide contraception for wild horses. You can't make this stuff up).

NJFemmie · 02-19-2011, 12:38 PM

Mare's been home sick since Thursday. We went to the doctor, but of course we won't find out the xray results until Monday. Until then, She's been braving the weekend in a lot of pain and we're both wondering what it could be. Good news is, She's a bit better today than She was yesterday - but we both hate not knowing what's ailing Her. I hate feeling helpless not knowing what to do for Her other than what I have been doing. Ugh, I hate doctors - especially ones that won't take the time to read an xray (there were doctors available, mind you) and make you wait the entire weekend to do something about it.

An e-mail my father sent me this morning. Kristi is my sister.

Please read this and re-think going out on the roads when the weather is bad.
Nothing is as important as your life.

"We all got up this morning to take Kristi and her friend down to Syracuse to link up with there vans that were to be heading down to New Orleans to work on rebuilding (Habitat for Humanity) for winter break. The weather all week was warm and they said we might get some lake effect snow and high winds. So they packed and went to bed early so we could leave extra early 430 am to be there for 630. A drive that normally takes 1 to 1 1/2. As we took off I was some what concerned about the high winds as we reached the top of the hill, I could barley see and knew I had to turn back. I turned around in a farmers drive and started back little did I know it got worse behind me. I have never been so scared in my life as I was this morning. My big worry was crossing the center line and having a head on collision with my wife, daughter and her friend in the car. Deb did a great job helping me keep the car to the right of the center line. At times all I could do because we could not see was to keep the right tire rubbing along the snow bank. One thing that I have learned if you cant find a place to get completely off the road is you have to keep moving. It got so bad that we called 911 for assistance, of course she asked me all the questions seat belts, emergency flashers and if the windows were clear. She was in the process of dispatching help when I asked GOD for help I was really desperate then and I told Deb that I no longer could see anything and I know that was the last thing I wanted to say. I kept the car moving along the snow bank and we started down a hill and it cleared up enough for me to get home. We made it home safe but I bet those girls will never question me or her parents again when we tell them the weather is to bad to drive."

Thank you higher power for protecting my family.

Gemme · 02-20-2011, 09:57 AM

I'm thinking about everything that needs to get done before we move. Craft project, packing, work, the auction, shopping for a few household items, and some quality time with Ebon and American Idol (but not together).
