I sadly can't name one!  But I'd say my mother-in-law, I had met her on the phone, but in person for the first time in October and she is the sweetest woman on earth!





25. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2009:




Always have your eyes open, and don't be blinded by your emotions.

Wordless Wednesday-- on Thursday... AGAIN!

I seem to suck lately at remembering what day of the week it is... so here is my contribution to Wordless Wednesday, on Thursday once again!

If you played/are playing, link up here.....

Our first snowman this year... and I love that Sebastian is probably asking himself:

1. Why is this man just sitting there and not moving

2. Why am I sitting here and not inside eating?

;o)

Winter Wonderland

So winter is finally here!  Without a doubt... sigh!  AS if last weeks storm wasn't confirmation enough...

what's a few inches... 8 to be exact!

Anyhooo... I just looked out the window and here is what I saw....

It's snowing again!

Oh, and its been about 20 degrees the last two days, approximately 7 with the wind chill!

I'm going back to my knitting and a big hot coffee.

;o)

Tigers and Liars (I mean Lions) and Bears... OH MY!!!!

I had to write this post... SERIOUSLY is anyone else completely done with all the bs on Tiger Woods!?

First of all... I think the man is a scum bag for cheating on his beautiful wife with not one... no, not two... at least 7 different women!

Second... he is only sorry because he's been got!  Does anyone really believe that he is truely sorry for having had all those affairs over the last few years?

I hope Ellin is smart enough to pack her bags, pack her children, divorce Tiger and go live on her Sweedish home!  She is a beautiful woman, Lord only knows why Tiger cheated in the first place.

I do have to say, I don't understand cheating, I don't understand cheaters. If you are truely unhappy in your relationship, why not just leave?  Why do you have to hurt the other person by making them feel worthless and embarrass them by having all discover their infedelity???

Granted, I know woman cheat too... but why are men always so unconformed with a good woman they already have?

There... I've said my peace... I'm getting down off my soap box.  But I just had to get that out into cyberspace!!!

Please feel free to comment, positive or negative... is fine by me!

But I wanted to share this pic because I want to ok....

If you are playing (played) link up here! and comment to let me know!!!!
