welcome to sillygolucky :) here, you’re allowed to run in the aisles, interrupt your parents while they’re on the phone, stare at the stars in wonder for hours and make fart noises in your armpit and snicker about it. teehee ;) (and i’ve yet to master that talent! sheesh!)
so welp, yep, this is where i’m just me. :) for (almost) everything you wanted to know, check out the “nice to meet ya!” section to the right. and fyi, for normal gabby finger topics, i’ll chitchat here…for most things health/fitness/food related, feel free to hop over to my health journal.
so glad you stopped by! stay silly *<8-D

we gotta BUNCHa snow the other day! hubby and i played outside a little, and guess what—made a snowman together this year! LOL! (btw, all these pix are thumbnails so click on them for a better view!) …
see ya, ebenezer!
the last several years i've found myself really dreading the holidays, especially christmas. it's all i can do to choke through thanksgiving knowing that "black friday" is looming. i've felt like a scrooge--dont wanna put up lights or the tree or any decorations, HATE shopping, sooo sick of christmas everything (including christmas music!) coming out wayyy before thanksgiving. my goodness i dont even want to watch my fave old christmas cartoons--the grinch and rudolph! :-O i could go on and on!!
to be right up front--i've just gotten sick of the shallow commercialism. that's it in a nutshell, but its way more complicated than that...
doggone it!
awwww, man!!
i broke my NaBloPoMo streak!! WAAAAHHHH!!! :'(
i even logged in last night and responded to a comment, but somehow i had a brain fart and didnt POST! GUH!!
well wait...i have a good excuse!! okay first, i posted that super long story on thanksgiving--couldnt that count for two days worth of posts? *puppydogeyes* and the biggest and bestest excuse...i am visiting my parents...and they have...
crinkle crinkle scoop
it was the fall of 1982. the damp air lingered of the familiar smell of crunched, wet leaves and they kept sticking to my pointy boots. it was so dark we could barely see the houses outside of town until we pulled in the driveways. the plastic mask on my face smelled weird but i liked it. i just needed to stop licking my lips because they were getting chapped and i hated that chapstick crap mom made me use.
rex and annie gave us apples again this year. well foo. i guess that’s okay, at least that’s one thing dad won’t eat! papaw gave us an apple, too, but mamaw of course threw in lots of candy. its so cool she puts them in the special little bags. and she remembered i love baby ruth!
my bucket was getting pretty heavy and we were headed home. cyb wanted to trade, and mom hollered at us one last time that there was no trading and it was all going in one big bowl when we got home. the BIG ORANGE bowl…
it did came out
today we spent all day at the inlaws and my niece, rylie (3) and nephew, caleb (5) were there.
about an hour before their bedtime, rylie informed me it was time for her bath. i said, "okay, do you want me or papa [grandpa] to help you?"
"YOU, annnttt JOHHHHsEEEE!"
so, off we went to get the water running. meanwhile, rylie stripped down to her bday suit and bolted around the house squealing and excited. LOL.
i snagged her and promptly helped her in the tub. as soon as she sat down she gleefully shouted ...

soothing saturday
heya folks :)
*sigh*deepbreath* whew! it feels good to INHALE AND EXHALE!!
this week has been a brain-crunching, tear-flowing, spirit-draining kinda week!!! i have just been sooo deep in thought and struggling with so many issues--some being my own, others not.
today i am taking time to...
hallway racing 500!!
we love playing with our golden retriever, maizy, in the house. we're fortunate that our home has a very open-concept front living area and wrap-around hallway. with 3 huge doorways into that living area (which is currently our office and pet play room LOL), it makes it SO FUN to play tag with maiz! =D
right now hubby is gettin a major aerobic workout, and being outsmarted by maizy...
sprucin' up!
hallo out there! :D
i did a little redecorating! did you notice? LOL! hopefully it's a little better than before. i just couldn't resist having some bright colors, but i tried to tone things down a bit and make things a little easier to read. :)
i am particularly fond of the hugemongous banner--yes, that's me up there! (in the red coat.) a few Christmases ago, me and hubby got my niece and nephew a double-tube to use at my parents'. they have a great sledding hill behind the house in the "back forty." hehe!...
i'm back!
wow, its been quite a while since i've written...but to me, it seems like only a week or so ago!! hehe!
well, all our guests have come and gone...in quite a blink of an eye 8^| we had an AWESOME time, first with my sister, hubby, daughter and son staying with us for 4 days...then the kids stayed for the following week.
then, while the kids were still here, one of my hubby's old buddies was passing thru town, and his wife and kids stayed with us for the weekend. during that time we had a cookout/get together for the "crew" of old friends since the one was back in town...so that was a blast having everyone over! :D
so, over the span of 2 weeks, we went from just me and hubby (and the pets of course LOL) to as many as 6 more people staying in the house...plus around 15 for the day when we had the cookout. we had so much fun and im so bored now that everyone's gone! HAHAH!!
okay well, so not to be a downer, but this week...
tuesday chit-chat :)
heeeeeeeeeeey :)
how ya'll doin?? gosh, i cant believe i havent written in a few weeks! the time has gone fast--a lot has happened around here in that short bit of time. its been a crazy busy summer so far, and its not letting up anytime soon. i really cant complain, tho...being busy is much better for me right now than just lying around on my bum! hehe!
so well first, i have to say that things are goin perty durned good on the food and exercise front here. in fact, i have broken a few of my own records!! normally a good food or exercise habit for me absolutely never lasts more than 2 weeks, and if it even gets to 2 weeks that's a miracle.
BUT...*DRUMROLL* ...
more snow and other ramblings
hidey-ho!
dang, i cant believe it's friday again already. the last week has gone by fast! im super bummerinoed cause we were sposed to visit my fam in IN this weekend, and had to cancel cause of weather (buttloads of snow here--ice there!). this is the second weekend in a row we've canceled, and it's been since christmas since i've seen them. thank goodness for puters at least--i chat with my mom and sister quite a bit. that's fun!!! and we tend to do it fairly often, more often than we call each other. boy, times are a-changin, eh? ...
okay, bad news first--when i weighed in monday, i had GAINED 4.8lb since the previous monday! shyeah can you believe that! LOL after my awesome 3.4lb loss the week before!!
good news, tho...
