Life Moves Pretty Fast

What was that line from Ferris Bueller's Day off?
  "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."  

 My friend, Toby posted one of my old blogs on FB, prompting me to click to my blog. That's when I saw that the last post was over six months old!  Life moved pretty fast and I missed posting about it which is weird for a documentarian like me.

So what do I have to tell you?  What has happened in 6 months?

I think the reason I stopped writing is because our latest election cycle made me depressed about the world.  Plus, it got to the point where I didn't want to talk about politics anymore.  So like a lot of FB friends, I just stopped and have been watching the horror in silence.  Everyday a new news story to get you mad. I just didn't want to feel lousy anymore, so I stopped.  Also, the Blogger App I was using on my phone disappeared and there is no way to post anymore without getting out the laptop or paying a fee for someones app.

Anyhow, by chance I rediscovered my blog and those urges to write something, share something, have taken over once again.   I am wondering if I have enough time to go back and write stories over the past 6 months or if I should just move forward?  Hum.

No one reads this so, I guess this is up to me.

I do love Blogger and Google because it makes it very easy to go back and see what you were doing on any given day of the year.   I love the Google Photos "rediscover this day" memories.  And I love being able to search my blog to see what events repeated.  Facebook for some reason doesn't want to give me "my memories."  Apparently, this option isn't open to everyone but it sure feels like everyone but me has it. It really pisses me off because I love reminising!

I love to document yet, I can't spell.  Oh, the irony.   Believe me, if I could spell and punctuate properly, I would.  It's just something I never learned and which, refuses to stick in my head.

Anyhow, I found a free moment to write, in the wee hours of the morning and I am taking it.

Random Thoughts as the Weekend Closes

Today I got a friend request from my mother-in-law. Will she embrace the FaceBook? We wait and see. Technology is cool...I got to speak to my friend in Hong Kong today. The BlindSide is a really heartwarming and good movie. I didn't know what to expect. I saw Sandra in blond hair and I thought cheesy. Now I can't decide whether I want her or Meryl to win the Oscar. Cats are really nice creatures. I haven't really had much exposure to one before. I especially like the fact that you can hold them like babies. I wonder if I stole Mr. Chuckles if anyone would notice? hum. Bartenders blowing fire makes for an interesting drink at the bar. Plantains are better when they come with your meal and not as an appetizer. I met a man who wanted to see Leap Year. Krueger continues to take jobs that suck ass and take up her precious time. Sorry CougarTown screwed ur day up Krugs. We missed u at the movies today. Ever since I got Mo I have meet the most interesting people ...

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

Time Is Flying

Man, back in September and October, I thought time was going by so slowly but now that we are in November and half way through it, it seems like time is flying once again. Maybe that has a little bit to do with me being a lady of leisure these days. My doctor put me on bedrest for the remainder of my pregnancy. I went into his office all stressed out over the situation at work in early November and he said "this Friday, November 4th, will be your last day." I was like "Excuse me?" Doc put me on disability because stress is bad for the gestational diabetes I already have and for the apparent high blood pressure reading I had that day and some of my tests indicated I was at risk for pre-eclampsia. My new job, is to go to the hospital for neonatal stress tests, twice a week, on Monday's and Thursday's with a weekly OBGYN appointment on Thursday's after my hospital appointment. Throw in some eye doctor appointments with an eye specialist (apparen...
