I hope your week gets a little less busy so you can enjoy it! If not, I hope you have a peaceful weekend! I've been well, still job hunting as always, I just hate the waiting game! Love the new photo!

"You're a sweetheart, and may I say, also the coolest vampire ever"

:::::::::::::: BIG SMILE :::::::::::

thank ya Sandra! You have a heart of GOLD!

Hope you are having a good week so far!!

my wife hates it. and my side of the family hates it too. i'm the black sheep of the family... cuss, drink(i stopped last month to get ready for school), smoke, and so on. back 10 years ago when i lived by myself i would smoke in my apartment before the wife and i started living together. she put a stop to that about a month before she moved in. so, i don't smoke in the house and never around the kids.

'As I promised my kids, one day I will quit...LOL Yep, coffee and cigs are definitely addictions I'm not proud to have, but hey, it could be worse, right? ;-)'

we are in the same boat. but, the wife is on my but too(and has been for 10 years). but....... there is nothing, almost, better than that first cig and coffee in the morning. the wife still thinks i'm crazy because i go and run in the mornings then have a diet MtDew with a cig and then drown myself in coffee.

Hey, didn't forget you, just talked for-EVER. I'll holla tomorrow on my way home, if that's ok. :)

Good morning beautiful, or is it afternoon? lol

Hope you had a great weekend. Have something to talk to you about, will drop you a line later.

Have a glorious Week!!!

Good Morning,hope you are having a nice morning.Was nice to hear that the yard sale went good this weekend.Nice also that some fencies where being fixed as well.:) Wishing you a beautiful day.

Things have gotten even more ugly regarding that situation so I hired an attorney this past Friday. We'll see if the ex starts playing nice now.

i posted this on your blog, but you already took off. have a great day.

thank you Sandra. her family is a bunch of man haters. most of them expect men to be dumb, lazy, cheat, and just plain ol sub-human. they are very vocal about, and it about pizziz me off. my wife has to tell them that she is the one who can spazz out and i'm the one to tell her to calm down and lets make a plan.

they are starting to come around now to see that i'm not the guy that screwed them over and maybe not all guys are bad.

Thank you very much. It too is a honor to call you my friend. I really like helping out. It makes me feel good. I very glad I could help. If you ever need me and the truck again. Just give me a call. I hope you and yours have a great week.

hi there sweetness,I hope you are doing good... haven't been here in a few days, I miss my special friends..{hugs}

I work with a program, army child care in your neighborhood, that assists family child care homes with reaching and maintaining higher quality care than the state requires. In doing so, it assists us with the cost of trainings and workshops and also helps the parents with their fees,,no matter what their rank. They are also trying to do more fun things for the families to include providers and families. All in an effort to support the families with all of the deployments and such.

we had a great time yesterday, the kids and families I think really enjoyed getting out

but my little special needs guy, we'd been told he would never walk or talk,,he was skating! and he did not want to leave. He was out there trying to catch the flashing light. He was so cute

I have Chronic Hypokalemia and all the symptoms that go with it so I combat it from time to time. Luckily it wasn't severe this time, but the Dr. treated me for panic attacks. Nothing major. =) I would have loved to meet you too. I was still feeling the effects of the 2 Ativan at that time of the morning, lol. And all I did was crawl out of bed at Ms_Sure_T's, hop in Jax's car and go to the ER parking to get mine then drive home, lol. Glad it turned out well though. (((hugs)))

babysan, it is always a pleasure to see you. plz, just know that I care for all you do. Your partial reward, was getting to meet Jackie, the original "roo". I got to try to make peace with two folks today, not sure how that is working yet, but, I try.

God job Sandra! I really enjoyed myself.I posted 4 pictures on my gallery of the sale.I don't quite know how to make a link yet.LOL. Hope you didn't get too burned. I had a quick lunch with Michael after I left,got home and the first of my friends drove up from Kinston to look at Hank's train things.I did have a great day!

Sorry I couldn't make the yard sale, but I did go by early (8:30) and Jax blew the horn, lol. I was tired (was in the ER the night before and stayed at Ms Sure T's) and needed to get back to bed. Glad you all had a great time. =)

I am bright red, arms ( to the shirt sleeves). I have a red face and a Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer snout. It's not attractive, Fuzzy thinks it's hilarious. My dumb Irish but should have had a hat. I was wearing sunscreen too!! Oi!

It looks like the yard sale went well. I'm so glad. I'm sorry I wasn't able to make it, maybe one of these days I will get there. I participate in a program for army children in family child care homese and we had a day for them and their families at a local skating rink and putt putt. The families were treated to skating, putt putt, games, food, and gifts. I think they had a good time and I know they kids were tired. My little special needs fella had to be carried out kicking and screaming. He was having a great time.

Been well but very busy, thanks. Hope you're having a great weekend. So glad the yard sale was such a success. Now get some rest!

I am sorry that I missed the yard sale. I have not been up here much at all and I did not see the blog until this morning. I hope that you raised a lot of money.

'Coffee (with creamer and sugar), marlboro lights, books, notepad and pens, a lighter to start a fire.'

fo real? sounds like the stuff i would take. didn't know that you smoke. don't worry, i do too. have a nice nite.

Hi Sandra! Wonderful to hear from you! I had a difficult July with the death of two loved ones and then I had to move at the beginning of August (hence the bad number). So, I've had a busy summer to say the least. Ode2Joy told me there's a yard sale tomorrow. I hope to make it out there; it's always such a positive experience to hang out with everyone! Take care! =)

things have been going great. i have been pretty busy with work and everything lately, but that's getting much better now. yep..the wedding is fast approaching...nov 21.

how have things been your way?

You are so welcome. Hope you had a great day yesterday. I was running late this morning and did not get to get on.

"Juan - it's actually quite a shame it has to come down to this kind of exchange in here. On a day when we all should recognize the benefits of being united as a nation, people still see it fit to lash out at people they barely know. This kind of attitude is exactly what makes us all vulnerable" - Sandra

I agree with you 1000%

You rock lady! Just want you to know that...

Missed you again...getting up too late...I have to nip that in the bud...Have a great day!

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Sandra}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

I hope you had a wonderful birthday. You so deserve it!!

I hate I missed the blog, as I was most likely at work. However, it is technically the 11th now, so Happy belated birthday to one of the sweetest, most kind hearted ladies I know!

{{{{{[hugs}}}}}

Beth
