Alternate Universe

So, I was channel surfing and came upon this stupid show on Bravo called "The Real Housewives of NYC". It was quite funny as I didn't see one pick up a mop. One was traveling with her Brit husband to one of the Dutch islands and the stupid husband bragged that they spent nearl 6 figures outfitting this woman who "was fortunate for the stupid guy and her" that she looked like a model. Another with her husband Count Olaf (not really his name but he was Count something) was buying a dog and they were naming it Aston and getting another one Martin for the car. Then they said the cleaning lady (non English speaker) would have to clean up the mess. It was a very strange show. It's very strange but quite popular.

Happy Easter 2008

My clothes are fitting better and I have to get back on the exercise band wagon tomorrow. When I lose another 20 pounds I promise myself two new dresses. I need to go through my clothes and get rid of the ones that will soon be too big for me. I am hoping to be a lot thinner this time next Easter.
I went to a Sunrise Mass this morning and it was nice. Not at all crowded and just nice. I am tired though having gotten up at 4:30 this morning but will be okay.
I have to get dinner together soon. Easter Parade is on. I still think Fred Astaire is a fairy.

Here I am a year later

Wow, a lot has happened. I decided to start this back up again.
First off, to our great surprise we miss Hawaii very much. Not the liberal, anti-war, anti-haole Hawaii but the beauty, the laid backness and the kindness of many people who outnumber the vocal minority.
We couldn't wait to get to GA but what a disaster that was. First off, we didn't get any money back on our deposit and secondly the stupid pest company sent my account to collections.
Now we are living in Bristow, VA, in a house I'm still not pleased with but trying to learn to love. I hated the house on Pololia for quite sometime but now it is on my screen when I log in.
Funny how time changes things.
Also, I am in the process of trying to get a home bakery business going. So, I will start baking cookies in a few.
Michael is up in Gettysburg, PA, today with his class at ILE. He's a Major now and has met his Grandfather's rank. He had talked about getting out but now talks about staying in until LTC. Time will tell.
I love Gettysburg myself. The Cashtown Inn will be on Ghost Hunters next week. That has to be one of the most haunted places in America. I would like to go back but the kids are too small.
Well today is Holy Thursday. I haven't done anything for Lent. I really have to get back to being a better Catholic and a better person.
