One Year Later 5/6/2007
Well, don't know if anyone will be reading this. But I stopped back - and probably will be back more. I have been a true Lostaholic and having fun turning others on to the show. I have friends that missed the whole first and second season so I converted them over Christmas. That was great. A marathon Lost weekend and they caught up to season three thanks to some dvd's I have been recording.
In my real life, I have had a lot happen and don't know where to start. People have died, others have not, jobs have changed, things have been fixed in the house, other things are still not fixed.
Guess the most fun this weekend was enjoying the sun and planting the flowers and tomatoes for the summer. I love sitting in the yard with the music playing, the dogs trying to get my attention and the sun on my back. Wheeeee!
See you all on the Lost forum!

Digg thisA couple months and here I am
I have not blogged in a couple of months. Been to my other favorite Lost message board and hanging out there. And then....when I tried to sign back on here...I couldn't. I couldn't remember the password I signed up with. Sigh.
But, got that organized and am back. I came back for the LOST chat room, was on for a few minutes and now have an emblem. I will visit it again but it sure was chaotic. But fun. I enjoyed chatting real time. They should leave that up all the time so we can hop in and out of it when we want. That could be interesting.
Lost is really rocking and rolling these last two weeks. I sure wish there weren't so many Season ONE reruns. ARGH!!! I just really like to see the new episodes to keep the memories fresh from ep to ep.

2006 and onward!
We spent the day relaxing. After getting thru the Christmas holiday season in retail, this is a very special day. To not have to get up and do anything, go anywhere, speak to anyone - it is a nice relaxing day. I love that word...relaxing. There are not too many of them, but today was a good one.
Hubby played with new electronic toys trying to discover how to set them up, get them running and recording and such. We got about 85% done. We can record on our dvd recorder, we just haven't quite figured out/mastered the editing of it all. It will come though.
Our tivo is working mighty fine and I am happy with this new found toy. Someone told me after getting tivo I won't go back to regular tv watching....that my habits will change. It is kind of interesting, because I think they are. Already I am thinking in the manner of 'what can I record and how much longer do I have and where can I get this upgraded'. To be able to record things at 3am and not worry about setting the vcr up and such is great. I surprised my husband by recording a few reruns of Smallville and Monk for us that were on in the wee hours of the morning. It was fun.
I also completed something today that I worked on all weekend. CLEANING. I hate to clean and organize, but I made it my goal to have certain areas of the house cleaned and straightened. One was my desk where the keyboard and computer are. Two days ago it was a mass of bills, papers, tissues, bags and junk. I went thru and pretended I was on the 'clean sweep' show and did the save, toss and file organization. Then I went a step further and actually filed stuff! It is nice to see the wood of the desk beneath me.
I hope everyone had a good new years day and day after. I did!

Dusty
Well, Cindy and I have noticed before that we have many things in common. Sleeping dogs, sleeping hubbys, dansko clogs and even our couches.
I am going to post a pic of a dog I rescued and you tell me who it looks like.
Now he doesn't have the hair things in his ears, so he doesn't look like the most recent pic of Josie. But I thought that Dusty and Josie could be relatives. Maybe not twins, but related....
Dusty is a dog we rescued and are fostering till our next door neighbors decide to take him. Probably about 24 hours. He is a sweetie and is very very mellow. Much different then the Merc and Tigger tag team. In fact, having him stay with us, I had forgotten what it was like to have a calm dog.
Dusty comes from a family of four dogs and two women. They can't rent a house with 4 dogs, so they had to find homes for 2 of them. My supervisor took the two younger ones and Dusty was one of them. Then she realized she couldn't handle 2 dogs, but wanted a good home for Dusty. The little guy will be settled in his new home - permanent home - this weekend.
He was given a letter from his Mommies and all his shots and has been neutered. He is a catch.
The neighbors lost their dog a few months ago, to old age and have been looking for a new dog. I think it will be a great match and they will meet on Saturday. My kids and Dusty get along great, after the initial 'who are you in my house' talking that Merc gave him. They are all out on the couches now. Its a great life!

No Second attempt
Well the tv/dvd/recorder/tivo sago goes on.
We didn't look at it last night, we went out to dinner (much more fun) and went to buy cables to help the endevour. After gagging at the prices at best buy, we went to target and picked some up. Got home to late and went to bed.
Tonight is visit with relatives night. Only tonight its my side of the family. My brother is coming in from Westerville OH. (yes books, westerville) and my Dad is throwing a late christmas Dinner for us all.
My husband for some reason is not happy about this. Maybe because he doesn't like greek lamb. Maybe because he wants to be home working on the electronic boutique in our living room.
Sigh, well I am sure it will be a nice night anyway. I see my brother Sam about once a year so I am excited. He is/was my big brother and he was the one that protected me from the bullies.
I remember him chasing one guy down that mocked me. We were all playing hide and seek and the kid rode by on his bike. I was the searcher and was counting. Sam came running out of hiding to grab the kid by the back of his collar and pulled him off the bike and told him not to say things like that.
Wheeee. Yeah for the little guy. Or gal that is. The ugly duckling. My brother stood up for me.
It was a moment that I will always remember. He is an artist and taught me how to paint. He was also willing to camp in the backyard with me and the family cat named Fartalot. (and he did) Heck he was the one that held my head the first time I drank too much, WAY too much and puked in the frat house toilets. We won't say anything about it being HIS frat house that got me in that state. Anyone remember their first hangover? well, I never drank till college, so no hangover (or way to judge too much imibing till too late).
I am sorry that we haven't been as close since he got married. But he is happy and that is what is important. I am thinking of the happiness and love that We3 and her brother have and they are in my thoughts. I know that I could always count on my brother to stand beside me and cover my back if I needed, even if we are close, we are family. We know that.
Yep, I will have some fun tonight, even if it is not electronic fun.
