Its winter in the blink of an eye

What a bizarre 24 hours it’s been.

When I got up yesterday morning, the sun was shining – even though it wasn’t supposed to be. I was thankful for that. But before I could get dressed and get the dog out, it had clouded over already.

Soon it started raining. But it was still warm. It got up to about 70.

All day the radio voices talked about how it would be cold by rush hour. I took hyper dog on the 2-mile trek around 6:30 and it was still pretty nice out, and not raining. I was thankful for that too! Once last nice walk before….

Yep, they are calling for snow tonight. Can you believe it? We’ve already seen some snowflakes…

I might have the storm windows ready, and the gardens cleaned, but I’m not ready for winter mentally.

When I got back in, the phone was ringing. The caller ID said Prank Call. Seriously!

I’m trying to figure out how to cope with the idea of winter. Last winter was so horrible that everyone is suffering a sort of post-traumatic disorder.

One good thing – tis the season for cooking! So many good foods we haven’t had for quite a while now. Chili, stew, roast, and of course the upcoming turkey extravaganza!

Did you pick up your Thanksgiving Planner yet? It’s up over to the right. If you’re already subscribed, just use the same name and email and you won’t be re-subscribed.

Wait until you see your Christmas gift this year!

Oh, another strange thing happened – you know I’ve been cleaning to prep for closing the house up. I had a bottle of the Shaklee ‘natural’ cleaner on the counter. I’ve been visited by those little sugar ants lately. They were really annoying me, so I picked up the bottle and I just sprayed one spray, and it killed those ants instantly. No squirming. Dead. Pronto. Is this stuff really safe? Gotta wonder…

And why are my posts suddenly coming out in bold print? I can’t figure it out for the life of me. Anyone know why?

Prepping for Holiday Fun

Last night I was actually working on that decorating e-book that I’ve wanted to get to for like the last year. I was really getting into it and having fun.

And then it hit me.

I haven’t had much fun for quite a while now.

I’m sure that’s reflected in my writing lately too, hasn’t it?

Between the stress of the job, the stress of quitting the job, all the computer problems, Mary’s death, the funeral – and the darkness that seems to have overtaken the world lately. UGH!

No matter what happens with the election, tomorrow we need to get back to living our lives.

Get the house cleaned and ready for the holidays,

Get our bodies fortified for another long cold winter,

And holy cow, try to have more fun!

I’m predicting that the haze we’ve been living in lately will lift tomorrow.

It’s going to get cold this weekend. So I made sure to get out and clean the outside of the house. Did my window trick, hosed down the siding, cleaned up the gardens. It feels good to have it done, but sad that the warm weather will soon be over.

It was really nice having these few nice days in November! I hope you got out and enjoyed them – even though it’s dark so darned early now L

I’m really tempted to put up my Christmas tree. That’s one advantage to an artificial tree. I can leave it up for months if I want to. Plus, having the tree up at Thanksgiving Dinner will really annoy my father

Even at my age, annoying your parents is still fun.

Will You Help?

I’m asking for your help.

You see, a friend of mine has died. Mary was 47 years old. In her short life – she had numerous heart attacks, 3 stints, type II diabetes, high blood pressure, and was obese. She died last week of a stroke. It was a senseless and totally preventable death.

Mary left a husband and 3 kids. 2 are in college, and one is getting ready to graduate high school. She was a mentor and friend to many kids. You’ve never seen so many kids at a funeral!

As if the loss of a wife, mother, and mentor isn’t enough - she was working a temp job and had no life insurance.

My hope is two-fold –

Number one is that Mary’s story can save lives, and 2 – that we can help the family get over some of the financial hurdles they are facing.

I’m holding a fundraising promotion in memory of Mary. ½ of the profits from High Energy Eating will go to the family. And High Energy Eating can help people take back their health, and hopefully save lives.

At a minimum, you can grab a copy and take back your own health.

If you would bookmark this page or the High Energy Eating page, that would be great.

If you have a list or a blog, if you would write to your readers – it would be greatly appreciated. You can grab an affiliate link here if you like, and the fundraiser won’t affect your commission – or you can use a naked link – I’ll leave that up to you. 

Thanks for any help you can give.

Hey, I could go dancing!

I just heard a commercial on the radio for a halloween party at a local club on Friday night, and it just occurred to me that I could go dancing and no one would ever know that I am really an old lady. (old in the clubs is anyone over 30)

I just need to wear a witch costume.

I can dance circles around those young girls.

Now if I can think of anyone who would go with me, I just might do it!

After all, isn’t halloween about having sneaky fun?

Should I, or shouldn’t I?

Be a cougar for just one night?

Would you?
