Prince...

I had forgotten how much I like Prince -- the Super Bowl halftime show reminded me.  So I downloaded a few of his songs today:

Let's Go Crazy

Little Red Corvette

Delirious

I Would 4 U

4 The Tears In Your Eyes

Good Afternoon!

Went to the movies yesterday--We saw The Number 23.  Roger wasn't real thrilled with it, but I liked it.  It is kinda hard to follow, so don't go the the restroom.   I didn't get popcorn, but I did get Raisinettes -- but I only ate 10! All in all, a very good day!

Expiration date....

I was getting dressed (yup at 1 in the afternoon) and looked down at my deodorant and saw the expiration date --- Dec 8 2201.  That's some dang powerful stuff in there if it will keep almost 200 years!!!

My great-nephew...and my nephew

My great-nephew, Nathan (3 years old), below was in a drowning accident in July of last year.  He was not breathing when he was pulled from the pool.  After 2 weeks in the hospital and 6 weeks of intensive therapy -- speech, physical and occupational -- he was left with no permanent damage -- Thank God!  Today, his mother (my niece) called my father all worried--told him Nathan had replasped--wouldn't wake up except to sip Sprite, fever, etc.  Ran him to Children's Hospital (about 40 miles) --- he has a virus! 

This picture was taken about a month afterwards.

Now onto my nephew.   He is 23 and has already had both testicles and some lymph nodes removed due to cancer.  They told him, not too long ago, that he was cancer free.  He found out yesterday that the cancer had spread to his kidneys and chest (but not lungs) -- it is in stage IV -- the final stage for his type of cancer.    He has 2 kids and one on the way.  Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

1 gigabyte.....

I was listening to my little iPod Shuffle and realized that this little thing hardly bigger than a postage stamp has as much storage as my first computer!  I remember my boss at the time (1995) saying that nobody could use all that space!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to all

Thanks to all who have welcomed me so warmly to this internet community.  I've never blogged before, so it is hard to think of things that other people might be interested to read.  Work on United Victims' March 10th rally is moving along -- slowly.  We may be able to get a bloodmobile there -- I'm waiting to hear back.  I'm starting Weight Watchers this week -- Roger's been on an Atkins type diet and has lost a good deal, but I can't live without carbs.  So I have decided to try the point system that WW offers.  I also believe the meetings will help me be accountable.  Anybody doing/done the point thing???

Computer monopolizing

My hubby has been hogging the computer all weekend.  But it is for a good cause -- he is "Mad As Hell" -- check out his blog under my blogroll.  I leave you with a sunny, green picture for all those stuck in snow.  It's my dad in his garden late last spring.

Now I know

I didn't realize the font size was so small at default settings.  So therefore, my first two posts were teeny tiny -- sorry! 

PS....this is my FAT cat Miss Kitty!

A great book.....

I recently read The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini -- it is an extremely touching novel of a doomed friendship of two boys in Afghanistan....it gives details to the history of Afghanistan in the past 30 years -- from the last days of the monarchy, to the Soviet invasion and the atrocities of the Taliban.  I bought with some skeptic thoughts, but it is a really engrossing book.
