Another Dream

This is totally a dream of D's. That boy, watches more movies than anyone I have ever seen. If he could that would be his career, hahaha! I know he would want a Bose home theater. I could just see him now, in his own home theater, lounging on a overstuffed sofa, a glass of root bear, a footlong Subway sandwich & a stack of DVD's. Oh & Razzy would be laying right there too, can't forget him!

A Dream

I was checking out this website, that offers land for sale, all over the country. No, I'm not in the market for land, but I really enjoy looking at property & dreaming of the future. I found some absolutely gorgeous places out here in Alabama. Some have homes already on them, but most of still in their natural state. This would probably shock alot of people, but I would love to own a ranch. Not a working ranch, but some acreage, with rolling hills, perfect for photo taking. I would also have a few cows, goats & maybe a chicken or two.

Weight To Loose?

I think I came out of the womb, searching for a supersize fry. And I think I went on my first diet, when I was 8 or 9. So that means, over 20 years of dealing with weight issues. Yikes! I've never thought about it that way. You would have thought, I would have won that battle by now. There are somethings I tried, that actually work, but I just didn't stick to them, including exercise, Weight Watchers, Hydroxycut & low carb. I do have a few medical things stacked against me, so it's an even bigger challenge for me, but I really am pretty comfortable with who I am at this point in my life. If I lost another size or 2, that would be good, but I will never be a size 8.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY DIANE"

Happy Birthday to you..........and now you're 50 too!!!!!!

WARRRRRRRRRR EAGLLLEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

Finally Finished!

I finally got all my Christmas decorations up that I will be putting up except for a wreath and some garland which I have to go buy.

I was having problems with my tree because you little section refuses to light and so I finally decided to go ahead and use it one more year and after Christmas I will buy the tree I want on CLEARANCE! I LOVE CLEARANCES!!!!!!!

As most of you know I collect Mice ornaments and I also LOVE Santa ornaments. I am also partial to the colors, red and white (I didn't say Crimson and White :P!!!!).

I also add to my Christmas Village every year and I am running out of room to put it all up together. I need a new house with a HUGE mantel over a fireplace. (hint-hint).

It is also a tradition for me to put out all my family pictures with Santa at Christmas and this year I placed them under my little fiber-optic tree. I think they are probably my favorite thing.

Amby Baby

There are so many different kinds of baby beds out there. I guess for those in the market for one, the task for choosing the "perfect" furniture for the nursery, can almost be daunting. I have seen this baby bed in magazines before, but didn't exactly know what the purpose of it was for, until I saw their site & read up on it. Sounds like it would be a dream for parents who need a good nights sleep. As well, for a baby to feel comforted.

This is what the site says:
Finally, a solution for your fussy baby! The Amby Baby Motion Bed helps babies and parents get the sleep they need with it’s womb-like design and gentle motion that babies love. Endorsed by Dr. Sears, the Amby Baby bed is specially helpful for babies with reflux(GER), colic and even preemies.

Here's a video that explains more about it.

Got A Light

We bought some of the lumber to put a cover on our back porch. We still some more of the stuff, but I was checking out maxim lighting, to see what kind of light I might want to use on the porch. The light we have now is right next to the door, so moths love to fly in the house. Which freaks me out! So, a light in a different location would be nice. I found a few lights that I like, this one included...

Ticket Time

Goodness, what is all the rage about High School Musical? It's a bit corny to me, but let me tell you...There do little clips of the songs on the Disney Channel & I will find myself zoned into the video. Zac Efron's dance moves mesmerize me. Hahaha!
This movie is so big that schools are now using it for their plays & there is even a company touring with the musical. I'm sure there are some kids out there, who will be getting High School Musical tickets for Christmas.

Bag Of Stuff

We had a large bag full of any kind of wire/cord you can imagine. It was all knotted up & a huge mess. I considered it D's job to organize it, since I am the one that does all the other stuff around here. I kept asking him to clean it, but of course being the man he is, he didn't hear me. So finally one Saturday, while he was lougning on the couch, I brought the bag out & laid it in front of him & told him that it was his job to clean it up. He was non to happy, but at least I got him to do something I had been asking him to do. There was so much stuff crammed into that bag. All kinda of electrical gadgets, cordless phone battery, phones, extension cards, you name it. But now all the cards are rolled up neatly & we know what's in there.

In The News

Alcohol rehab seems to be in the news a lot lately. Everyday it seems another celebrity is in need of some guidance. Makes you wonder, why people who have fame and fortune, the things most people strive for, want to throw it all away. Thankfully there are centers out there, that provide care & rehabilitation. The key to it all, is wanting to change. That's what makes the difference. It's not just for the rich and famous, it's for anyone who needs help.

Collecting Stuff

It always amazes me at what people enjoy collecting. I think it tells alot about a person. I collect several different things...Anything Lucille Ball, retro, milk glass, old dishes, Christmas ornaments & now Willow Tree figurines.
My Mom collects...teapots, stuff with mice, books, Christmas village things & cherries.
D collects anything Superman.
D's Mom has so many collection, that I had to quit keeping count.
My cousin Laurie, collects John Deere stuff, purse & pen (which both of those seem to run in the family).
Then there are those, that collect sports memorabilia or movie memorabilia.
I think it's neat to go to someones home & see their collections displayed with such pride.
It seems that once I know of someones passion for something, any time I see an item that pertains to whatever it is, I always think of that person. I don't know how often people say they think of me, when they see something Lucy. It always makes me smile. Years ago, my Aunt Renee's kitchen was decorated in geese. Anytime I see them now I think of her.
I found this pretty cool site that offers all kinds of memorabilia, from sports to movies. Here's just a sampling of what they offer...








As you can see they have so many things to choose from.I'm that there is sure to be something for all collectors.

Dream A Little Dream

It's always good to dream. Because without dreams, what do we have?
One dream that I have for my family is to someday have a home large enough, to have a game room. It would have a pool table, for D. And I would want to have a 1950's soda shop, complete with chrome bar stools, for me. I would love to entertain & host parties. We we live now, it's just not a good place for company, or at least many people. So, for us to one day have a home for entertaining, that would be a dream come true, for sure.
