Just Another Saturday

Here we are enjoying another Saturday. I've been out on Facebook and am totally shocked there hasn't been the daily negativity about the election and the hate between people over it. I am sooooo glad. I really enjoy Facebook and try to have fun. I rarely post anything political or negative. My goal is to have fun and share positive experiences and opinions. On occasion I will ramble on to the tune that I hope it isn't annoying to anyone but if it is just quit reading. That goes for my blog as well, your choice. Doesn't that have a nice ring to it? My choice.... I guess I didn't scroll down far enough or it was early. I guess it was to much for me to expect anything different....sad

How the heck is everyone doing....yep you caught me in another lie. To be truthful, I forget I have a blog. It used to be the only way to rid my thoughts. Now with social media at the highest I am guilty of being a Facebook and Twitter participant, more Facebook. One thing for sure, blogging is a release point where one can really vent and not be chastised for doing so. So, here goes.....I have tried to watch both sides of the presidential debates and all I can come away with is....things that make you go hmmmm. I will say I am leaning one way but at this point not important which way. Both sides have valid points, at least I think they do....Happy day to all

Freeze Zone

Stop the madness, stop the sub-zero temps. Unless of course the term "freezing my ass off" really does. Any weight reduction helps.......

Martin Luther King Day

Celebrate......

So..

How the heck is everyone doing? Let's talk, of course after a few brewies, the world today makes me think there there is no real right way to do anything. Think about it,.. Ok , I have and I will not do anything out of the norm....norm? What is the norm?......hmmm

Happy New Year

2015, day one. Good day everyone! Well, another year is upon us. Was I happy for 2014 to be over? Not really, I am more excited about the new year starting and so thankful to be able to put my feet on the ground and be able to experience another day, week, month.....Let's see, New Years resolution hmmm I don't really have one. If you do have a resolution it's best to set goals. Don't set long term like "I am going to diet for a year", let's face it folks you are not going to diet for a year. So, start out small and go from there. Don't let failure of the resolution get you down, you gave it a try which is probably more than a lot of people do. Here's to a prosperous and healthy New Year for all.

Nothing Going On

It's been a while since I have posted anything out here. At least I didn't go the whole year without saying something, the last day of the year sounded like a pretty good time. Let's see, not too much going on here. However between the catastrophies, racial tension, mass shootings, horrible weather...it makes you wonder what the heck 2015 has in store for us. I have decided to devote more of time blogging instead of everything being posted on Facebook. I really want to get good at posting photos and other things.....later and Happy New Year!!!!

Stuff....

Good morning all....again I have stayed away too long, sorry about that. So let's see, what the heck has been going on.....hmmm well, been doing a littlew more biking this year but not near as much as I would like too. As season ticket holders for the Triple "A" affilliate of the Cicago Cubs we have been spending a ton of time at the ballpark, unlike the big Cubs the Iowa Cubs are in 1st place. Took a trip to Onalaska, Wisconsin for the Brice Prairie Time Trails, a Wi Sport event that is a 40 kilometer roadbike race and I am here to tell ya these people just can flat out fly on these bikes. I also might add thate Onalaska, not too far from La Crosse, is a great place to vacation whether you are single or doing the family thing. There are plenty of bike trails, lots of places to fish, and not too far from a plethera of antiques. Ok, I have rambled on enough for today....till we meet again.

Good day all....I said I wouldn't stay away so long but as you can see that was a bold face lie....sorry! Here's hoping everyone has been doing great. I myself went on a cruise (no not on a Carnival ship) and had a fantabulous time. We went on Royal Caribbean to the Cayman Islands, Cozumel, and Jamaica. In Cozumel we took a submarine ride and took some pretty cool pictures, zip-lined in Jamaica, and spent most of the day drinking in the Cayman Islands. Actually the whole cruise involved partaking in adult libations. Okay enough about our cruise but there is something I would like to touch base on something concerning Carnival Cruise Line. I saw today that Carnival is offering a 4 day Caribbean cruise for $38.00 a night and pushing that it's cheaper than staying in a Motel 6, you think that's a good idea do you? Let me bring up some things that might change your mind.... first of all it's an inside stateroom, if you have ever stayed in an inside stateroom it is not the way to go, always dark no windows (portholes for the savvy)....2nd $38.00 is based on double occupancy so it's actually $76.00 a night. If you are single it will cost you $76.00 a night as well....lastly there are no cancellations allowed...Evidently, they need all the money they can get. So think twice on that one friends.....I highly recommend Celebrity Cruise Line. All for now....have a good one!!

"I will not carry a gun.... I'll carry your books, I'll carry a torch, I'll carry a tune, I'll carry on, carry over, carry forward, Cary Grant, cash and carry, carry me back to Old Virginia, I'll even hari-kari if you show me how, but I will not carry a gun!" ~Hawkeye, M*A*S*H, "Officer of the Day"

I'm back, did you miss me????

Okay, again it happened, said I wouldn't stay away so long....I lied, drat!!!! Now that I'm back, what shall we talk about? We could talk about the election, not no but hell no. We could talk about the idiots who have suggested about pulling their states away from this great nation of ours and forming their own...what are you people smokin'?????? Speaking of smoking....legalize it, tax it, smoke it, and live happily ever after, after all it's organic......till the next time, Hugs to all!!

Rush, the most amazing jerk, Limbaugh

One thing I have to say to Mr. Asshole is ....why are you still allowed to broadcast anywhere???

Because the ruling was in favor of Ryan Braun, do you know what kind of monster has been created? He is probably one of the most arrogant people and now there has been fuel added to the fire. Let's face it, he flunked the drug test and he should man-up and face the consequences....

The Most Powerful Argument For Gay Marriage From A Republican

The Most Powerful Argument For Gay Marriage From A Republican

Take a listen, this is a good watch..

First snowstorm of the year hit yesterday, fortunately Des Moines only got 4.6 inches of snow. Did I mention that is was a heavy heavy snow...great snow for building a snowman or having a snowball fight. Nope this gal didn't partake in either, instead I sat with a few friends at a favorite hangout of mine (Francie's) enjoying an adult beverage, or two, and engaging in conversation. It's amazing to me how a conversation can be going along and just one word can trigger it to go in a totally different direction....I don't believe any of our conversations had an ending. What's even more interesting to me is that we are all meeting for breakfast today and I am sure some of those conversations will pick-up right where they left off....haha You gotta love it...I know I do.

Okay, so this guy, psychiatrist Keith Ablow, thinks Newt Gingrich's infidelity might make him more capable of running the country....let's see, a "dick" (no pun intended) running the country or a man that is rolling in the dough not wanting to reveal any of his tax returns or finances. Personally, I could care less what goes on behind closed doors, but on the other hand Mr. Romney makes me a little nervous. I am not a big fan of hiding things. At least Gingrich was open about his needs....

Now whether being promiscuous or shady I fear the Republicans have a long and bumpy road ahead...

Okay, I know I said I would not let the time go buy sooo long before another post....I lied. Let me give you somewhat of an explanation. I will be the first to admit that I have been taken into the depth and far reaches of Facebook and Twitter, not to mention having an IPad 2 and a 3g phone....damn the Angry Birds and Words with Friends, they are everywhere. The truth of the matter is by the time I get ready to blog about a subject it is old news due to the constant improvements in the techno world. I know you are all thinking she can't be blaming the lack of blogging on anything but herself...yep, you are right. I truly will give it my all to do a much better job of boring or entertaining you...hoping it's the latter. Stay tuned....

Another one has lost the fight with cancer. I will not give that word the decency to be recognized.

Government Shutdown

Just who determines who is "essential" and who is not???? I will tell you who, the assholes that are at fault for this mess. How can Congress be considered essential and the military not? Everyone is so gung ho to change laws then why not change who determines who gets paid and who doesn't and who will be in charge of that decision. Just a thought....your thoughts????

Thanks to all of the men and women that have faught, are fighting, and have given their lives for this great country of ours, God Bless America!!!!

How the hell is everybody....I hope this finds you all well. Okay, you have Idol, (which I think was fixed), Kenny Chesney, Summertime, is in town, and it's "Thirsty Thursday".....what more can you ask for, Singin, drinkin, and thinkin My Tractor is Sexy?
What should the topic of discussion be tonight?......after a bottle of Pinot, I think it should be.....wait here it comes....

"Ater Ten O'clock snacks"

I prefer anything that is there. It can be a miniature Snickers, which is only there to tease you, or a handful of peanuts (have to have salty)....oh wait let's throw a pizza in the oven. Heaven help us if there is sundae fixins around, a little ice cream and whatever toppings are in the house ( c'mon you have all made a sundae that only you will eat). If nothing else folks we know the meaning of food for snackin...I believe whether you are stoned, drunk, or just wanting a late-night snack we all have something in common, which is, satisfying taste...a small amount eaten or drunk; "take a taste--you'll like it"
