What I want

2:55pm: Going Home for Christmas!
Aside from my daily stuff (vitamins and other pills I take every day) I am packed and ready to head out in the morning!
That explains why I am tired now.

I have been really enjoying reading up on my f-list and seeing what everyone is doing.

Will be gone from tomorrow until Tuesday!

12:53pm: Ok, it is cold out there
But my skin is still happy, unlike other years!

9:51am: Game last night
Amazingly, my character did great!

(She is a 23ish woman, daughter of William Clark and a native-American. Had been doing work for the government since she was 18.)

5:13pm: Dead Lands mmmmmmm big grins
I hope my character is as clever as she needs to be tonight.

3:30pm: We have not been able to watch any movies since last weekend. The bulb went out while we were in the middle of watching - and really enjoying "Friends and Enemies."

11:28pm: Movies!
Last night, we watched "Bullit" - starring Steve McQueen!

I went to sleep wanting to see more of his movies. It was pretty cool, after it was over they had interviewed his son, Chad, and his widow. They have worked to get his moviea re-released.
Steve McQueen died at age 50 from cancer.

Tonight we watched "Taken" - starring Liam Neeson!

8:21pm: Lunch downtown
My friend Joe and I went to Milton's for lunch again on Tuesday.

We got there 10 minutes before they stop serving lunch, and it was no big deal for them. Or for us, until Joe was paged by his work.

Rogue and I have been really enjoying the roast he made.

Tonight, he decided to make soup (or stew) with the rest of it.

8:21pm: Lunch dowtown

3:00pm: Lunch today!
Today is Wednesday, and just happens to be the day that two friends of mine take me out for lunch.

This has been going on for a few months. I love spending time with both of them!

But yesterday, S. called to ask if my Thanksgiving this year will be here, or are we traveling to my family in OK?
I told her here. we are going south for Christmas this year. She said "Good! We have a surprise for you tomorrow."

We drove into Kansas City for lunch - at Lulu's!

I have missed that food ever since the one that was here in Lawrence closed down.

Now, I'm tired, must try to sleep.

9:27pm: Writer's Block: I need my space ...



Tell said person, "I like you, but we don't really know each other that much. I need more time to myself."

9:10pm: Thanksgiving coming up!
Thinking about all the things that I am grateful for.

There are a few things that I _should_ be grateful for - but I'm not. Why is that? I will ponder this a while.

7:39pm: Currently, my favorite movie
Is called "Shoot 'Em Up"

Lines from it just pop into my head - when they are appropriate.

Sometimes I even tell Roguewolf'71.

It's good to make one's husband laugh!

11:17pm: What I've been up to,
Mostly, not much at all.

But, tonight is Poker Night - so there are several men here playing various versions of poker.

Big Ron did not make it, but we have Joe and Blaine here, plus Tony, Mike and his father, little Ron.

Of the cats: Zoot has come from the bedroom once, and Jezebel has been with me in the living room, until Robert offered raw shrimp to her. Then she freaked out, and hid under my chair.

6:27pm: Movies!
We have watched a whole lot of movies this past week.

"Twilight" - was all right, but not as good as the book!

"Twilight in the Garden of Good and Evil" - we watch this one a lot!

There were others, but I forget what ones now.

3:25pm: Life -
Tends to go this way.

My husband is still sick. Maybe worse today.

So, we are going to miss the family get-together for his grandfather's birthday today.

The cats are being very sweet about it, mostly.

6:42pm: Not so good here
Roguewolf71 came home from work sick this afternoon. He is asleep now - and I hope he will get better soon.
Now I must try to figure out what to make for our dinner this evening.

Both cats are a bit upset.

They probably do not approve when the humans do something unexpected like this!

So, yeah, I'm laughing about that.

4:53pm: Last night
Was the annual Banquet Dinner & Party for the Volunteers of Audio Reader!

It is amazing how many volunteers they have!

(Humbling, even.)

4:48pm: Yay, it's October!!
Sorry for being away from LJ for so very long!

We are going to Florida on October 16, that is a birthday gift from Rogue, as it is the only time he has the chance to do anything vacation-like this year. He will be there through Oct. 22 with work. I'm coming back on Oct. 19.

10:20am: Am I getting old?
Because when my husband told me that he's going to take me to Florida for my birthday - and that he feels badly because that is the _only_ kind of vacation we are going to be able to take this year - I am so excited by it!!

Nah, not old, merely older. I have a practical side and that controls a lot of me. I am so grateful that he is my husband!

3:02pm: Got the link for this from a_kosmos

Lets101 - Free Online Dating Site

1:13pm: Rain!
Outdoors looks so GREEN!
Storm came in this morning and got everything nice and wet.

Not going out today.

Both  cats have taken the weather as a great excuse to just sleep on the bed.

5:05pm: This weekend!
Has been pretty interesting. My husband's father wanted to get a lot of dirt out of his back yard (it had accumulated from some work done to the house).
So both yesterday, and today, they worked on it. Bob brought two loads of dirt and placed it in our back yard!

Robert says that we could use even more dirt, even.

So the cats and I have spent a lot of time in the front yard. :-)

7:37pm: Poker Night Strikes!
It is 7:38 and three guests have already shown up.

4:02pm: September really Rocks
Or maybe I just think it does.

It is just beautiful outdoors.
We have a raccoon living in the attic again.
She probably can tell how cold it's going to be this winter.

Rogue was sitting outside a week or two ago, enjoying a cigar: and she snuck past him. Well, she tried to sneak.

12:50pm: What happened?
August is done.
