Happy 18th Birthday Heather!

Miss you Bunches! Hope you have a great one!

Happy Birthday Shout Out to:


My Aunt-

Wanda Lou Vickers!!!!

Miss you and wishing you the best of birthdays!

I haven't blogged here in a long time. Just found the site again today. LOL

Not a lot to blog about. We moved to Arizona after selling our California home.

Been here just over a year now myself. Working for the Post Office and meeting new people everyday.

I was going to post that tomorrow in Mary's 17th birthday,
but it IS tomorrow! My baby girl is getting all grown up-
some days I'm so excited for her in this journey of life and
other days I am just sad that it's gone by so quickly....


Happy Birthday Mary...
May the journey be fun filled
and full of laughter and love.

Humboldt County weather hasn't changed much,

more rain and high winds like usual... LOL

Awesome (and addicting) site-
Compliments of Mary who found it.

So, here I go again- gave my notice at Safeway- not cuz it isn't fun or a great job, but mostly because I miss home health, and I miss spending time with my family. It was highly stressful but always a challenge. I will miss it, but I will more than make up for that with being needed again.

So then there's also "Tweety" and "Mr. Regi Gray"

Ok- so some good news... something more cheerful than of late...

We have a new member of the family- Meet Baby.

Baby is a Hahn's Macaw

"...the smallest of the mini-macaw's, also known as the red shouldered macaw ....

with very high intelligence, the Hahn's is easily trainable and

very amusing, with an outgoing and funny personality...."

Take a bow Baby.

Mrs. Myrtle Edna Ferrin Passed away last night at 10:30 pm

There will be no services per her request. She will be cremated.

Other information will be posted as it becomes available.

Gene could use prayer / support (he's been very down lately)

have not spoken with him yet myself - I've been sick (again).

Happy 60th Birthday Anna Louise

Hope it's a good one.

A site worth looking at: "Practice senseless acts of beauty and random acts of kindness."

You Are 50% Weird

Normal enough to know that you're weird... But too damn weird to do anything about it!

How Weird are You???

Take the test....

"The Ripple Effect" by Betty J. Eadie


"In The Ripple Effect, Betty J. Eadie opens her mail to us. She draws from the letters critical lessons for life. She illuminates how God's higher plan—continually at work in our lives—can transform our pain and difficulties into ultimate joy and triumph. She shows how the effects of sharing love, forgiveness, and compassion ripple out and return, bringing us greater love, peace, and fulfillment."

Randy,

Our prayers are with you and your family...

About Work: Enjoying it more and more as I become more comfortable with everything.

About Chris: They broke up, and it may not even be his baby... sad.

About Mark: MMMMMMMM Yum

About Mary: She's at the beach with friends today. Working hard for Grandma, a Junior in High School. Still very active in her youth group and the band Crossover.

About John: Taking classes again at CR, still working for a Vet in Eureka, Still with Jess. Miss seeing him regularly... sigh

Uh............. anything else you wanna know?

Another day in the life....

So, the one thing I am learning is that nothing stays the same... every day I have different emotions about my job, back and forth, "Doing good, feeling more comfortable" to "I have no brain! I can't do this!" Realizing finally, that it's both and a positive challenge - That there will always be good days and bad days... accepting and no longer obsessing.

Update.... I was feeling pretty wonderful about using my ol' brain again... and I don't know if it's the person training me, or if I've lost some of my intelligence along the way, but tonight I felt slow and like I was more in the way than helping or learning anything. Sigh... not just a little sigh, but a BIG SIGH.... Most of the stuff I get... I mean really get. But all the closing stuff is like greek! I guess the good news is that Radio Shack called me for an interview, and I had two clients call for home health ... but I won't give up just yet... I think given time I can figure out just about anything... if others can just be patient with me.




So- for all those out there reading this... all two of you- you could put in a word for me with the Man Upstairs.... Thanks.... I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Tired!!
