Remember When?

Remember when I said I would post 1-2 times a month? My brain is still in October... 

We went to Tennessee (Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg ) for our 3 year wedding anniversary two weeks ago. We were originally to go there for our honeymoon but James had just been diagnosed with end stage kidney failure and had started dialysis a month before the wedding so we decided to delay the trip. Here we are three years later and he is still battling kidney failure and all the healthcare challenges that comes with a chronic illness. So we decided to bite the bullet and book the trip! The trees and weather were spectacular and while the towns are true tourist towns, it was great to get out of town and try for a bit of normalcy. Even my "everything but the kitchen sink" purse got into the story line when I helped out a bride at the Ole Smokey Distillery. Her dress was dragging everywhere and she didn't have a bustle hook so I fashion up a bustle with some safety pins. Ignore my face in the picture. I had just finished my first ever moonshine tasting! :P

Work pitch-ins

Today is Boss's day and my area brought in breakfast food for our boss. My office is notorious about bringing in food for just about any holiday, celebration, whatever that we can think of. And its not like we all love to bake, half the time its store bought. lol My sister is amazed we don't all weigh 500 pounds because as we all know the food we bring in is far from healthy. Sure once in a while someone will bring in fruit salad. Heck I even brought salad makings once (which wasn't eaten as much as the other stuff mind you). One time instead of the typical Halloween candy bowl, when I sat at the front help desk, I brought in a bowl of fruit (apples, oranges , bananas ) .... I think one person took something in week. It was sad people! So I am start at a vanilla pound cake, a blueberry crumble cake, a frosting covered brownie, and Oj ...well I suppose the OJ is good for you. Yummmy for it all.....I couldn't resist because 1 I hadn't had breakfast so I was sta...

A Dozen Later

Okay so it hasn't been a bakers dozen of years....oh wait it has been. I can do math, yay! Anyone miss me? This blog? Guess not since even I forgot about it! Whoopsydaisy! I will eventually catch ya'll up but basically in the last 13 years I've bought a house (2011), got a new car (Jeep, 2018) and got married (2019). I also avoided catching COVID during the pandemic. The pandemic resulted me working remotly from home which resulted me to lose about 30lbs. So, I am on the downhill side of the scale. Yay! Far from my goal weight but better than I was 2 years ago! My plan is to ressurect this blog with my hopefully-still-there writing skills so I can vent out my life to readers and to entertain you at the same time so as to keep you coming back for more!
