A must see movie

Well this past weekend was a really good weekend for a couple of reasons. I had a really nice visit from an old friend, it didn’t snow, I had two really good nights sleep, and Jenn and I went to see the movie Gran Torino. Which has surpassed any of my other favorite movies by far. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, that movie !!! I actully would enjoy seeing it again.

Also the fact that I was able to get some good sleep was good. It seems like the past year I have had more trouble sleeping and I am not sure why. It is probably something I should talk to my doctor about, however I really do not want to take any pills for my problem. I tried different things, like, lowering the heat before bed, making the room really dark, and wearing a sleep mask. Sometimes things work, or work for awhile and then I have to try something new. I hope this year I can get to the root of the problem. We will see….

Jenn and I were also very happy it did not snow. Its only January and we already are looking forward to the warmer months ahead. We have even started looking at different cabins near Canandagua lake. We loved it there last year and want to go back. A smilie on my face as I remember the time spent there last year.

Today Obama will be sworn into office and I am looking forward to watching all of the events. I am taping everything then wacthing it this evening with Jenn.

We might even ccelebrate with an adult drink !!!

YES WE CAN !!!

Things I hate …

Have you ever noticed right before you go on vacation you think to yourself ” wow I have 2 whole freaken weeks off from work ” but then it goes by so fast. I only have 3 more days off from work and will be returning on the 5th, and I really do not want to go back. It sucks, and I hate that.

It especially sucks because while I have been off from work it has snowed alot and it has been so cold. I think to myself how the hell would I be getting to work by 6am with all this snow ? Yesturday even with the plow coming I still had to clean off my car, and shovel the front walkway, and back deck, and around the cars. It was about an hours worth of work out there in the bitter cold. I just hate it.

More and more I have been thinking about moving to New Mexico, or Arizona. If and when that happens it won’t be for awhile. My family is here and I would never not want them iaround me.

For New years eve Jenn,, my parents, and Amber and Cathy spent the evening at my house. We made some food and some snacks, and played mexican bingo for money. It was fun. Then after 11:30 we watched the ball drop, and alos felt bad for Dick Clark. After his last stroke his speech is really not so good. He struggles and its sad. I hate getting old.

Today Jenn and I are covering for Joel at Ed’s, and while I do not consider it working because being here is like being in my own house. I still hate the fact that I had to be up at 8:30, after going to bed at 1am.

My feet are cold, I hate that too. They won’t be a normal temperature until the spring. Which is about 2 in a half months away. I hate that spring is so far away.

Oh well, this is my life and despite all this, I LOVE my life

Peace and love to all who enter here……….

Back to Basics

I have not written in forever mainly because Jenn and I have been pretty low key. We have been doing some small projects around the house together and also some projects on our own. Jenn has been getting all of her school stuff together, and has also been shopping around for a refurbished computer. I have been learning how to knit from Amber’s grandma, taking an adult money management class. (Lots of good information on investing for the future, tax breaks, and saving money ideas ). Together we have painted our laundry room, cleaned and organized our basement, and have met with two local businesses on getting new windows this spring. This past year we did so much to the house that the only things I feel  left to do are the driveway, replacing windows, and painting the livingroom.  I hope to have these projects done by early summer so we can enjoy the house. We both love how everything so far has turned out.     Jenn and I are also looking in attending auctions this summer and possibly buying another house, not to live in but as an investment. Joel was thinking of going in on the deal too. More on that to come in the months ahead. On saturday Jenn and I are meeting with our case worker and if all goes well we will have a five year old living with us by the end of Monday. This past Sunday my papi celebrated his 75th b-day , and yesturday marks 6 years Jackie has been dead. A time of joy and sadness.  Life is what it is.    I am alomost done reading the book the secret and I have talked about it so much with Jenn she too wants to read it when I am done. I have applied alot of what I have learned from the book to my life and have felt a positive wave in what my life is now.  I was already in a good place but now I am more mindful of how life should be lived to reap all the benefits. Allowing myself to not go into the dark place and allowing  negative feelings to wonder in my heart and mind  has  made me realize the power of attraction. You surround yourself with negativity thats what you get. A negative partner, negative friends, job, you name it you will attract it.  Being in a good place before reading the book has only allowed to be in an even better place.  So that is what life is all about !!  Peace and love all who enter here
