I have been delaying posting.  Probably because I hadn’t even finished Tier #1 of the FPS.   But enough delaying…..  Here’s what’s been happening on our side of the woods….

1. Stepfather got discharged from dialysis and then two days later was put back on dialysis.

2. Weird weather in the form of snow, then sleet, then hail, then more snow.  Here are some pics….

Weather has been bizarre in the biblical sense of the word. (These were taken during the sleet storm although much of the sleet didn’t show up in photo.)  I told Dana that if I observed one frog or one locust I was outta here!

3. Chipped a tooth.  In the front of my mouth.  Joy!

4. Finished Tier #1 of FPS.  Feeling like the "underachiever" of the FPS-Along.

5. Today is Dr. Seuss’s birthday.

6. Business is picking up.  Slow but steady.  Keep reminding myself of the thing I always tell Anna Grace.  "Slow and steady wins the race".  I know one day she’ll hate me for saying that.

7. Recently lil’ miss has been practicing her skilz when it comes to temper tantrums in public places.  Love that.  (Did I spell temper right?  It looks funny.  I wonder if Stephanie’s spelling police will send me hate mail over that.  I dare ’em.)

8.  Miss AG looked in the mirror this morning and informed me that she was "boodiful" (beautiful).

9. Today is also the birthday of a Mr. Jon Bon Jovi.

10. My sock is progressing but I seem to be losing my vision.  Can’t see where I’m putting in my ssk’s and my k2tog’s for the gusset decreases.  This is giving me a bit of concern.

11.  Life in general and #10 are  causing me to contemplate me age just a bit.  Hate contemplating my age.

12. Mother discovered today that stepfather is refusing to participate in any therapies.  He will be discharged soon.  She has decided that him coming straight home isn’t possible.  I can tell she feels a bit guilty about this.  Now she has to tell my stepsister. 

13. Watched five weeks of Grey’s last night.  Tivo must have dropped one episode.  Never saw George’s dad die nor did I see George get married.  The Dead Meredith episodes were sorta entertaining but from a medical standpoint…. one of the most far fetched things I’ve seen on a T.V. show in years.  YEARS, PEOPLE!!!!  I stopped watching  E.R. for less than that.

14. Feeling old.  In a haggard sort of way.

15. I de-stashed the yarnoir and stuck some stuff on ebay.  That turned out to be pretty successful. 

16. As a native Floridian I can no longer keep quiet. People already make enough fun of Florida.  The 2000 election took things to a whole new level even though I challenge you to find one NATIVE Floridian that messed up that ballot.  Resulted in a bunch of out-of-towners turning our nice (ok… "nice" depends on where you look) little state into a circus.  So, please take this with the decorum (or lack there of) with which it was intended…..

    Anna Nicole Smith…. you HAD to die in FLORIDA?????!!!!????  Thanks a lot! 

17.  And I  would just like to point out one thing…. that crazy judge from #16…. listen to that accent people.  That man is NOT a native Floridian.   We don’t claim that crazy man.  Let’s just make sure that is perfectly clear.

18.  Dana came to see the light and signed us up for Triple A.

19.  I’m a bit grouchy this week.   

20. Probably because I turn 39 today (oops, accidently typed 29).  Not pleased.  I suppose it is better than the alternative (death).

Well, must go.  Must figure out what is supposed to happen with this little, solitary, lonely, hanging stitch after left triangle is completed on FPS.  I think it just hangs there but…where FPS is concerned…. I’m usually wrong.

Toodles!!!
