I really, really, really hate to fly.

So tomorrow off to Chi-town and not for pleasure. My Aunt Lou has passed away. I am so sad about it though. She came to my wedding and MC's christening. I will find a pic to post.

what to do, what to do.

I want to expand my bathroom and I want to go to Roma. I also long to be in Bath this Winter-from Persuasion.
So, what to do? I really want to get the bathroom redone. I hate it, hate it, hate it.
But I also want to go to Europa. Not sure if and when that will happen but I like to plan fake trips on travelocity and cruises as well.

Are the best years behind me?

Musically I'm still stuck in the 80's. I tried to like the music that came out in the 90's, I really did but it never materialized for me. As I sit listening to the Arena Rock & 80's station, I wonder are the best years 20 years behind me, I seriously doubt they're 20 years ahead of me. So, did my life stop in 1988 or 1989? In many ways yes, it did. When I turned 25, it was downhill from there. Nothing to look forward to age wise. I was a teenager, depressed when I turned 20, 21 was a big deal and I guess 25 too but after that-n0.
I loved Miami Vice, they don't make shows like that anymore. Oh well. Is heaven living in the best time of your life? I mean this is a good time but I didn't have any responsibilities in the 80's. I have tons of it now.

Cake Show

Well went to the Cake Show. I did enjoy the classes but they were a bit confusing. Tomorrow is the one with Nick Lodge. I hope that it goes well.
I really missed my kids and Michael though. It wasn't that long but I miss them so.

i hate liberals

Liberals are the most condescending folks on the planet. They know it all or so they think. I know this is a common theme of mine but I really do hate liberals-they're pigs.
Michael is out and about again. It's hard to trust him. I have to make peace with this because I plan on having a long life. Sometimes I forget but most of the time I don't.

Obama scares the hell out of me

Not only does this clown who wants to be President go to church with an American hating preacher but he also cavorts with this idiotic moron from the Weather Underground who sees nothing wrong with bombing police stations, the Pentagon, who wanted to bomb a dance at Fort Dix that would kill American Army Soldiers. He is an absolute, scary man. He doesn't know his ass from his elbow. He can't figure out if he likes guns or not-what the hell?
It appears to me that Obama, his big mouthed wife, his racist preacher and his anti-American, anti-military friend Bill Ayers needs not to be elected President. But we have a bunch of stupid people in this country, indoctrinated in the public schools and in our colleges and universities, welare queens and round about malcontents who will go to the polls in November and vote for this piece of shit.
I also have the stupidest cousin on the planet who is going to vote for this clown. I don't think I can think the same thing about Pat ever again.

Some sad news

Yesterday not to my surprise I found out that precious Mary Catherine has autisim in addition to Down Syndrome. I cannot help but feel that this is all my fault. The sins of the mother have been visited upon the daughter. She is so very precious and I just love that little girl so. I cannot imagine my life without her.
John Paul will be with us for 3 years tomorrow. Life with him is truly an adventure. Never a dull moment with him around either. He is an adorable, beautiful little boy. I cannot imagine life without him either. I am truly blessed with the kekei.

April Fools Day

April 1st always brings back memories of Schererville, In, where I grew up. Rosie Schaffer, who wasn't very smart was born on this day. She was goofy.

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.

Aloha Oe'

Well, today I am preparing to probably shut down this blog for good. We are preparing for the movers to come tomorrow and we will be leaving Hawaii. I am somewhat sad to leave my home that we have made our own. We came when Mary Catherine was 10 weeks old and we adopted John from here. I love the way our house looks now but hated it when we moved in. I was so depressed to be so far away. A lot has happened. While I won't miss the reverse racism I have encountered out here or the virulent anti-military and anti-war crowds out here. Just as I had nothing to do with slavery, I did not have anything to do with the overthrow of the Queen. So, it is with some regret that I leave some of the wonderful people I have met here and our wonderful home. I will also miss the fact I can watch Bill O'Reilly in the afternoon and not have to pick and choose for television prime time. That I will certainly miss.
Aloha Nui Loa

Did a Head of State die today?

Today Anna Nicole Smith died and really, who cares? Well, evidently everybody but me. This was a Fox News Alert and all over CNN, MSNBC and FOX News. Why, why, why? This is all very strange to me. However, I must be the strange one because this is all over the place.

If I see one more commercial for ED meds I am going to puke!

I really don't care that old fogeys or baby boomers having sex. Ick ick ick

Keeping Secrets

Throughout most of my dating career when I quit dating the guy, I always thought it was a good idea to break all contact because you just can't get that person out of your thoughts when someone else comes into the picture. I finally did that with old MJ about 9 months before I met Michael. However, I must be stupid for I seem to be the only one who has done this. I really feel no need to keep in touch with any of the clowns that I dated, yes, most of them were clowns. A few weren't but the majority of them were with MJ driving the clown car and TW riding shot gun. However, this isn't the first time, not even the second time this has happened. I thought with that "nikki" situation two years ago he'd figure out that keeping secrets doesn't make me happy. Well, surprise, surprise today I was going to cc a note to Donna to him and when I clicked on his blog along pops up this stank bitch who had stolen credit card checks from him while we were being married and who actually got prosecuted for this little endeavor. Now, speaking just for myself this would be one person I think I would stay far away from. But again this is just me. Well, surprise this person is listed on my husband's yahoo friends and is number one on the hit parade. This is one ugly piece of white trash. Missing teeth, got her icky big chest sticking out & is just plain nasty. I know I don't look like I did when we got married but I don't look like that piece of shit, white trash. Let's see first deployment there was the ex-wife who was still listed as the wife on car insurance that I went to pay for and got that big surprise and a phone book with divorce lawyers handed to me. I'm really upset about this. If anyone cares.

I hate liberals

I really hate liberals and there isn't much more that I want to say on a day when idiot Hillary announces she's in it to win it. I will be as vocal as these idiots are now if we get stuck with that bioch for 8 years.

Another two bite the dust

Well in addition to this blogs one year anniversary I also just got a CNN newsflash that two of Saddam's henchmen (1 1/2 brother) had their neck tie party tonight. Well, too bad, so sad. We all have to die sometime I guess but I doubt they but much thought into the deaths of all the people they ordered; you know like putting people feet first while alive into a wood chipper, gassing innocent men, women and babies just because they were Kurds-kind of like Hitler, the thugs uday and qusay who would rape women and then have them eaten by their doberman pinchers. Yeah, real nice people and we should all shed a tear for these idiots. I don't think so.
I wish anti-war people would go and live in Iran and Cuba and get out of here. I really hate these fools and sorry we have to suffer them and their condescension. They would make Lady Catherine De Burgh look like nothing.
Somewhat interesting news. Donna is trying to get our house on "Sell This Hous". That would be great but not getting my hopes too high up. I would like to sell the house though sooner rather than later.
Well, till tomorrow then

Tomorrow is this blogs birthday!

Well, I've not been as faithful as I should have been. The parents are gone now so perhaps I can be. Tomorrow this blog will celebrate it's first birthday. Hubby will be away for exactly one year. Time flies even if you're not having fun!
till tomorrow then!

Georgia on my mind

Georgia has been on my mind because I can't wait to get there. I dreaded moving to GA when I first married but hated to leave when we left. I am excited about going back there. I really liked Georgia a lot. I know it will be a bit different when we go back because 1) we're not newlyweds anymore, 2)( we have two keiki, 3) we're not at Fort Stewart. But that's okay, as long as we're together that will be okay.
Folks are headed back to FL as we speak so will have more time to devout to the blog.
Till tomorrow then.

Just a quick Happy New Year, much late

Aloha 2007 & may it be the last I spend in HI.
