Christmas is nearer than you think...and other stuff...

   Sitting in my recliner listening to Christmas music from one of the radio stations.I remember James saying just last week..."I don't want to hear any Christmas music until the week of Christmas". Well he is the one that has been putting the music on. (snicker) It is hard to believe that it is about 6 weeks away! This year is growing to an end rather fast.  We usually would be at church about now but James was coughing most of the night and still doesn't feel very well. So we stayed home today. The church we have been attending for the past 5 weeks or so has three services so maybe we will make it to the 6pm service. James is gearing up for the Dallas game this afternoon. The game is not showing on TV so he has to go to the sports bar.   The past couple of months I have gotten into "Couponing". I am not quite as good as the ones of Extreme Couponing but I have been able to save money. It truly is a game of knowing when to buy stuff. I never thoug

The beauty of Facebook!

    There are some people that consider Facebook evil. Can you even imagine? There are some people that will not get on Facebook at all for fear that people might get their information and use it in the wrong way. I know that this can be true. However, I have found that Facebook can be fun! I have found more people that I have grown up with as well as distant cousins because of Facebook. We have a connection that we would not have without Facebook or the internet. Some of my acquaintances that I knew from school have now become my friends. When we were in school there were certain groups, the surfers, the kickers, the band geeks and the guys into sports to name a few.  I don’t think too many people adventured into a different group too often. We stayed within our groups during high school. Now we are much older and wiser (cough) we do not have the stigma of having to stay in our different groups and we can adventure out and get to know people in a different way. This week I got to

Ode to Molly Girl

This day didn’t start out very good. I ended up waking up at 5:30 thinking it was 6:30. I looked at my watch wrong. When I was trying to look at the computer I couldn’t focus on the words on the page. I thought maybe I was still tired. Turns out I had the wrong glasses on. I had put James’ glasses on instead of my own. It reminds me of the scene with Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton in “Somethings Gotta Give”. Well then right after James left, I had the big door open and only had the screen door closed where I could at least look out. The couple next door motioned to me to come outside. I came out side and looked at what they were pointing at and it was Molly, evidently she had been dead for quite a while. She didn’t look like she had been hit by a car so I am not sure what happened. She was pregnant and the only thing that I can guess is that she wanted to have the babies inside and just didn’t make it home in time. It is one of those things we will never know.    Some of the things I
