Update to any who may still follow me...
Well, not much has been going on …having fun Tweeting mostly and reading Tweets.
Lifewise it’s been the normal - work every day.
My niece turned 1 yr old on the 22nd and we had a big family BBQ on Saturday the 18th, which was fun.
My Mom is retiring from her Job at the High School as a Secretary - she’s happy & can’t wait to take the whole month of August off from...

Hope everyone in Chicago has fun...
…
I will be having a Birthday BBQ tomorrow - my family will be here, and it will be a good day.
You know some things that happen open your eyes.
The other day I was having a FB Chat with this local guy who works at a Subway.
He’s young, in his 20’s, and had been bugging me ever since I started going there over a year ago. Just teasing…you know “Here comes...

finnsblog1 asked: Do you watch adventure time?
80 Years...80 YEARS!
My Dad is now 80 years old.
After I moved out of my Ex’s a little over a year ago, on April 11th (the day after my birthday) my Dad fainted and had to be hospitalized.
He would have had a heart attack and most likely died if I hadn’t called 911, gotten an ambulance to take him to the Hospital and the alert Nurse hadn’t realized he was “tacking” (however you spell...

The other day...
I picked up my Sis and baby niece to go to Albany for our Nephew’s birthday party (he turned 2 today).
As per usual, we hit Dunkin’ Donuts for Latte’s and picked up some Valentines Heart shaped donuts to bring with us for the party, etc.
We always find something to talk about to fill the time - be it her husbands work on their house, our Cousins, or whatever.
This time my...
Valentine's Day
Just another day.
Tomorrow is the 1 year anniversary of my Ex BF accusing me of not putting a paper plate under the bacon that I cooked…
…and then saying that I’d done it lots of times before (which I hadn’t) and then calling me a Liar when I denied it.
Because he was nothing but a fat 350lb fucking slob who thought he was right 100% of the time, that the only opinion...

Secret Tumblr Message
In reference to what you texted me:
I want you to know that I consider you a good friend.
I’ve grown so accustomed to communicating with you on a daily basis, it is weird when I don’t hear from you at a certain time of day.
Whatever is bothering you…you can talk to me about it. I care and I will listen.
{Hugs}
(oh - hey look! No typos!)
25 years ago...
for me, when Challenger exploded, I was in High School.
I remember our Principal got on the loud speaker & announced it.
I remember it being a little surreal - like I didn’t understand.
I remember the moment of silence.
I remember going out & being one of the first kids to board the School Bus and our Bus Driver saying to me “Did you hear? The space shuttle blew up.”...
sorry...
Sorry I have been gone from Tumblr for so long. (not that anyone cares)
But, this has been a strange last few months.
My Job has been up & down - sometimes I have work, other times I have to make shit up. Also, with all the snow & Holiday’s we have rarely had a full 40 hr week of work.
For some reason, even though they told us at the Staff Meeting, we had new projects coming up...
I had to...
see my Ex the other night.
He’s still the same egotistical ass he was when I lived with him.
Walked around, having to listen to him brag about how his stuff was superior…”My Camera is better because it’s …” whatever.
It’s called “Justifying a $400+ purchase at a time he couldn’t afford it.” I’m sure he has similar justifications...
At some point...
you realize it’s really really time to give up.
you try and you try to break through a shell you never knew was there - and then when you can’t & it becomes apparent it’s a fucking brick wall - it’s time.
time to give it a rest and just be. by yourself.

Intricate plans...or well, not so much.
Christmas Eve…when I was a teenager, my Brother (Lou) and Sister (Deb) were little, I would go sit on the edge of my little Sis’s bed, get our other Sis (Jenn) in there and say “This is the plan.”
I always had a plan.
Get up at 3am or thereabouts, climb down the stairs as quietly (they creak) as possible…the couch was around the corner of the doorway right by the...

I keep getting letters and Emails from Prestige about getting my Yaris serviced and how they “miss me” at Prestige…and today I got yet another letter about trading it in, how much my current loan payment is, how many months are left on my current loan…
…and all I keep thinking is “Why don’t these idiots know my Yaris was wrecked in May 2010 and totaled...

Never mention Art to an Artist...
…like my Sister. Unless you want to be yelled at.
I started talking to her about the recent exhibit at the Woodstock Artists Association [the Holiday show that she, my Uncle & our Mom have paintings in] and how our Uncle Homer said he “hated” some of the artwork on one of the walls.
I told her about how a lot of them were just random colors painted on canvas - very...
Thanksgiving.
Well, we are about to start chopping up the celery, get out the sausage and start making the stuffing.
Then the bird will hopefully go into the oven by 10am to be done by 2pm or so.
This year my Sister Jenn, her hubby & their baby will be going to her Mother-in-Law’s house.
Jenn had originally wanted us to invite her MiL & Step-FiL to our house, but her MiL gets herself worked up...
Time to delete...
Time to delete my Tumblr.
I don’t really come on here that much.
It’s been fun looking a people’s posts, when I get the chance, and seeing the multitude of pix that people have put up.
I guess there is supposed to be a NYC Tweetup - but I know nothing about it.
I only knew because I happened to catch a random post by someone that mentioned it.
So, I won’t be going.

Not cool enough...
To know what Kik is or …KIK …kik…or well, whatever. No one will tell me…guess it’s a big secret. [I saw some reference to Cell #’s …only Cell #’s I have belong to Andy B., Patrick [pvaras], Chris [groverviolet] & my Stalker.]
I have found I have to look things up (or read up) in the Urban Dictionary quite a bit now that I follow a few people...

An observation...
So, as everyone who follows me on Twitter knows, my Ex-BF keeps texting me.
It gets frustrating, because even though I lived with him for 3 years, I don’t really need to know the things he feels I should…on the other hand, it is nice to know he’s doing something, other than lazing around all day doing nothing.
My Sister & I spent time together on Saturday and before we left...

Sometimes...I just don't know.
Sometimes I feel…
…bored with life.
…lied to.
…jerked around by people who I thought I trusted. Who I thought trusted me.
…like crying, and then I do end up crying.
…happy with my family. My Sisters, my nieces and my nephew &, My Brother, my parents [to an extent, although my Father is impossible sometimes] - which can include extended family as in...

~Special Thank You~
What happened after I got upset…
…the next day my friend was on-line, Tweeting merrily away as he always does, and I DMd him to talk.
I told him I had Emailed him to ask his advice, or opinion or I don’t even know…just so he knew what I was going through.
He asked me if I wanted his opinion…or to just talk.
He made me feel better and by the time I had to go to my...

tymethiefslongerthoughts asked: I'm sorry you're unhappy. But you really need to just take a stand somewhere and stop letting people run roughshod over your feelings. That can only happen if you let it. And you have to set limits, if someone continually disappoints you on purpose, there comes a time when you just have to cut them loose. I'll tell ya something, being the 'good girl' who is patient and...
So, what do you do...
What do you do when you like someone you’ve known for a long time, who you call occasionally, DM & text…but they won’t or can’t meet you for any number of reasons that never fully get explained?
What do you do when try to make plans, then the person ignores you every single weekend that you have these “so-called” plans - just to make sure that those plans...

B: Don't look at me like that.

This is too funny. Exactly as I would expect too. : -)

So, I've decided...
I decided that since I left the guy I was living with that now is the time to throw my hat back into the dating game & try to find someone who actually wants to meet me.
My profile was still there 3 yrs later…much to my surprise…and I tweaked it, put up that Avatar of mine from Christmas [the one I took on inspiration from @petherwin who asked me if I was going to do a holiday...
Tonight
So, my Mom donated some money to the Woodstock Artists Association Museum (WAAM) and had an Award named for her father, my Grandfather - The Holland Foster Award.
She picked one of the paintings in the Gallery and got to present the award tonight and say a little something about my Grandfather.
It was very emotional for her, and I thought she was going to cry - but she didn’t. She got...

Update:
Well, Dad’s been home from the hospital for a couple weeks now. Gotten Mom mad at him more than once for driving his car, which he’s not supposed to do for 6 weeks [not 1 week!]. I think he’s doing fine & he’s not drinking [that I know of], so that is a good thing.
He’s planting his garden & cooking up some of the Rhubarb that grows wild by the Garden. :-)

No more close calls.
No more car accidents.
No more personal injuries.
No more hospitalizations.
Kinda getting sick and tired of everything that has gone wrong the past few weeks since my Birthday.
My Twitterversary was the 28th of April. Everything went to hell between April 10 & April 28th.
Oh, and I’m keeping my eye on the flapping pieces of metal roofing on the old Barn on the...

Update: Dad's Hospitalization
Sorry I’ve been gone from Tumblr for the past week or so…I’ve missed a lot!
My Dad’s surgery was yesterday. He pulled through just fine, thankfully [the Doctors assured us he would], and my Mom is still up on Albany staying with my Sister, Deb, and Brother-in-Law.
They kept changing their minds! First they said “not a heart attack” then they said “slight...
News
Well, the news is that my Dad is settled in the Hospital up in Albany and that he’s not having another procedure when they stick the camera in to check the valves, as he had that yesterday…
…but we don’t know when the surgery is and we don’t know if we can get in to see him after in Recovery, soooo we have to wait.
My Brother said that he & his Girlfriend would...
My Dad
OK, everyone who has been following my Tweets since Sunday knows that I called 911 because my Father fainted.
He’d been asleep in the chair, got a cramp in his leg, jumped up & then couldn’t move.
He stood there for a bit, bent over, hands on his thighs - just not moving nor telling my Mom nor I what the matter was, despite our inquiries.
He fell back into the chair, and I said...
Tumblr/Twitter
As some of you have noticed, I don’t use Tumblr all that much - I knew that would be the case when I first joined.
When I am at work, it’s all I can do to even keep up with Twitter sometimes, and sometimes I can’t even do that for long stretches of time.
I don’t do #FF that much anymore because some people kept complaining it clogs the stream…so, I do a few every...
