Sorry, Again

Once again I am hanging my head in shame when I see the amount of time that has gone by since my last post. Really, where does the time go? I feel like I do have at least a half-way decent excuse. My computer is really on it's last leg. I hate to even turn it on. One day it works fine (like today) and another day it is so slow that it will take hours to load a simple web page. I was seriously considering purchasing a new laptop but then I took the kiddo's school shopping, lol. All I can do is apoligize and try to to better.

A Long Cold Winter

What a beautiful day we are having. I slept in this morning (till 8:30, I was awake for a good part of the night), and woke up to a bright sunshiny day! Seems like nature just turned a switch, or it's almost spring in Missouri. This week has been up and down, hot and cold, you never know how to dress this time of year. All in all this winter wasn't so bad. Cold, cold, and more cold but as far as getting to work and where you needed to be it wasn't too hard on us. I really can't "just call in" so no matter how snowy or icy the roads are, I'm expected to be at work. Luckily for me, Doyle also works in the same town so a couple of days I rode with him. Hopefully we are past that for this winter!

My blog has suffered over the past couple of months. You ever just not have anything to say? Or as I was taught, "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything"? Hopefully with the time change and the birth of spring I will once again have "something" to talk about. To be honest, this is the first time in about two months that my computer has been turned on. I'm in need of a new computer but my dislike for Windows 8 is keeping me from buying one. I know that if I just break down and use it I will get used to it. Just seems to me that you must have a touch screen to get the benefits of it and I'm too cheap to pay for it.

That's it for now, blog friends. I hope you have some sunshine in your life today and everyday. Remember, make today count for something and someone!

2014, Here I Come

I'm a little behind on my posting. 2014 got here, and it's been non-stop. Work has been busy, partly due to the flu, sickness, etc. and partly because we have a tech was has been in and out of work this past week. I've been busy at home, NOT! I started a 2000 piece puzzle about a week ago and it's consuming all my leisure time. After I sorted and found all the edge pieces, I also found out that it is too big for my card table. That means that it's going to have to be moved to the dining table, which is fine but we do eat at the table, every meal. I've decided that I'll work on it in sections for now and maybe next weekend move it, I'll have four straight days to work on it then.

Okay, on to the reason for this post, 2014 goals and resolutions. I hesitate to even use the word "resolution", I think that's just setting yourself up for failure. So I'll list my 2014 goals instead. 1) To save money, where ever, however I can. I want to become fugal and wise with my money! 2) To "really" get organized. I want everything in my home and life to have it's place! 3) A while back I eluded to a "secret" that I wasn't quite ready to share, well, my third goal is to meet my half-sister that "found" me earlier in 2013. My sister, Irene and I long suspected that she was our sister and she finally confirmed it to us last year. She is my oldest sister and she lives in Florida so a trip to meet her MUST happen in 2014! That's it, three simple things, right?
