Thought of the day for you:


" Life is the first gift,
Love the second,
And Understanding the third."

Financially things are downright rotten ($200 more in bills than in income) but otherwise things are good...hope things are well with ya!

Hey Beanie.  How the heck are you my BFF??!!  I have missed you something awful!  Hope things are good with you and hubby and hope to see you soon.  Love ya sugarcakes........:)

Thanks to some major miscommunication, a final I THOUGHT was due thursday was actually due tuesday...could have sworn he said it was due by Jun 10....anyway, after discovering this (by trying to take the test online and finding out I couldn't) he allowed me to take the test today, and did pretty well on it, 83.2 percent...which allowed me to get a B for Accounting...not bad for missing 3 weeks due to illness!!

Nothing really exciting happening lately, outside of visiting parents in a few days tp see the pictures of their grand adventure! Hope things are well with ya!

Had a great time with my parents today - hope you did well in bingo! Do you go for the bingo, the comradire (sp?), (friendship and talking) or just as something fun to do?

Sneaks a hug in....hopes things are well with ya!*

*Poor wand'ring one!
Though thou hast surely strayed,
Take heart of grace,
Thy steps retrace,
Poor wand'ring one!

Poor wand'ring one!
If such poor love as mine
Can help thee find
True peace of mind-
Why, take it, it is thine!*

See if you can guess where this song (actually only part of it here) is from!

Finances got horrid with the manager slashing everyone's hours (except management's...) so wondering where else I can go to find new job...might be able to take my teaser and make a profit on it, looking into that, hope things are well with you!

Talked with my father today....they celebrated 42 years of marriage today! How long have you and your hubby been married? =)

Hope things are OK with ya!

*strumming the banjo*

*Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
And rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong, wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers and me.

Who said that every wish would be heard and answered
when wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that
and someone believed it,
and look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing?
And what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
the lovers, the dreamers and me.

All of us under its spell,
we know that it's probably magic....

Have you been half asleep
and have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name.
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?
The voice might be one and the same.
I've heard it too many times to ignore it.
It's something that I'm supposed to be.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
the lovers, the dreamers and me.*

Hope things are OK with you!

I am happy to be back too.  I have missed you and Love ya Sweetie.
