2010

I am trying for 365 pictures of the year 2010. It's hard - next year: 52 pictures - one for each WEEK of the year! My life is too "bland" to take a picture every day of something worthwhile!

I've Been Tagged

Jen "tagged" me and though I'm not sure exactly what to do, I'll give it a try: I am truly blessed with a wonderful husband, children and spouses, grandchildren and friends! I want a million dollars to pay off all my family's bills and bring my sister, Trudy and her girls up here! I have a wonderful Saviour who totally looks after one(me) who doesn't deserve it! I wish it could be spring or fall all the time (I totally HATE winter and my body hates summer!) I know that someday I will be reunited with my precious parents in heaven. I hate drivers in Regina. They do not stop at stop signs and drive WAY over the speed limit on residential streets!! I fear my husband or family dying, even though I know they will go to heaven. I hear too much traffic outside my open window - we live on a VERY busy street. I crave, well, potato chips and anything crunchy and salty. :( I search for an afghan I started for Bethany about 3 years ago and cannot find. It drives me crazy!! I always remember people's birthdays and anniversaries and try to get cards and notes off to them. I usually try to make sure the dishes are washed every day. I hate washing dishes and we don't have a dishwasher, but I try hard to get the kitchen cleaned up before I go to bed each night. I am not a morning person (wonder where you get that, Jen!). Since developing lupus, it is even worse and if I'm up by 9 a.m. I am happy - well, as happy as one can be who isn't a morning person. But, I'm usually up by 10:30 at the latest. Ho hum... I miss my best friend, Marcia, who died in a car crash when we were only 15. Also, those in heaven, my grandma, Mom Williams, my daddy and mom. And my sister and brother and their families down in the States. I love to watch figure skating, even though I don't get to see much, because they won't televise it. And I love my Dale for letting me watch it and not talking to me during the skating part. I try to do him the same favor during his NASCAR races. I never say "No" when asked to watch my grandkids (unless absolutely necessary). I love them all to pieces - each one is so unique and they are all such sweethearts!! I rarely watch reality tv. It is so contrived and scripted. I love old movies and sitcoms that are funny (and not stupidly funny). I cry over every little thing. Especially movies, old hymns (ones I remember hearing my mom and dad sing), the US national anthem and touching stories. I lose things a lot. It is so hard to get older and your memory goes bye-bye. I am confused every time I hear a politician or read political stuff in the paper. Big words that say nothing! I should go out for coffee with my friends more often. It is good to get together with friends of like minds and have good conversation and fun. I worry about Dale in his work, especially when he is on-call and has to go out at night. Regina is a scary place at night! I dream of going on a trip with my husband to Niagara Falls. And finally reaching my goal weight. I tag - don't know, as Jen is the only blogger I really know and she tagged Karina already. I would tag my brother if he had a blog. He usually has good stuff on these things. How's that Jen?
