Obviously not the 12th…
Once again, my travel plans have been pushed up in the air, so to speak. Still going, no date yet.
Just going with the flow.. started to stress about it initially, but now I’m feeling O.K. with things.
Realized we need to start decorating here, regardless of when I’ll be going overseas! So that’ll start today! YAY!
This whole situation is something I’ll probably do a blog about pretty soon.
Otherwise, things have been great. Went to an extended family Christmas luncheon yesterday and had a lot of fun! Hung out with Eb and caught up with the Aunts, Uncles and Cousins. I’m slowly starting to recognize and remember them all. Had a lovely meal of “Chicken Hawaiin” (three guesses as to what the ingredients were), a glass of champagne and “BAILEY’S Chocolate Mousse” w/ whipped cream and strawberries for dessert. Yum!
Intended to go home afterwards, but ended up staying at the pub with a few family members, including an Uncle who’d had a close call in hospital recently..and we laughed and joked till almost 9pm!! I got treated to a latte and another Champagne!! (Thanks, Geoffrey!) Great fun!
Man.. if I don’t sound alcohol obsessed by now, then I think I’m certainly going to before the year’s over! ..I guess the thing is, when you limit your drinking a HELLOVA lot from the DAY you turn 21 because of going loco en la cabasa *(CRAZY), then every drink counts!! I’ve probably named every single one I’ve had on this blog, since I started it!
At least my father’s stopped saying stuff to me like “Are you allowed to drink?” in front of the waiter/waitress EVERY time I order something like Sangria (tasty, yet watered down, wine cooler) at Olive Garden. And EVERY time I’d say, “Dad, the doctor said one to two drinks, once in a while, is FINE.” And my mother would say to him “Deaar…” and Kathy and Dan sometimes did their “DAAAAAaaaaDDD” thing ala Bart and Lisa Simpson. Yeah Dad, we know you love winding us up..but really glad this little joke has ceased!
(Oh boy, we were so the Simpsons)
*no offense to others with mental illness who dislike this kind of thing; I speak disparagingly and jokingly only about myself. I guess that’s cause I’m just plain nuts, or summfin like that. And my brother and sister will attest to the fact that this has been the case since before they can remember!
Before I thought the T.V. was talking to me and before I got dragged away from the stage area by security at a concert at Hershey Park in 1995.
I’m soooo loving the fact that I probably just freaked out a lot of friends and/or family who only know me as verrry quiet and shy. Does that make me evil? Mrahh haa haaa. Nope. And, it also doesn’t mean that I’m likely to let it get to that stage again, if I can help it!
If you are wondering why this entry seems to chop and change a lot..well, that’s just cause I’m CRACKERS! Yes, I did first hear that expression from Davy Jones on the Monkees, Tammy!
Time to shut up, play some stuff like “Santa Baby” and “Baby it’s Cold Outside”, even though it NOT!, and DECK THE MO-FO HALLS!!!!
Hey!!! I gotta find out if they sell the EGG NOG here!! WHOOO!! (no..I won’t add anything to it!)
This dog is soooo wonderful! I thought you wouldn’t mind a few more. (Goldie’s in the kennels while his family is on holiday):
Artwork next time!!

Yeah! I noticed that after I posted these!! The first one is a really excited smile, the next one is a big yawn, and the last one is probably because he was hot from running around outside with me in a huge horse paddock full of rabbits hiding in long grass!!
Yes, they will eventually!! There are a few reasons why I can’t do it just yet, but when I talked to my Mom she said "Well, maybe it just wasn’t meant to be"..and I agreed. In many cases, when the timing gets messed up for certain plans, it can work out better in the long run! At any rate, it shouldn’t be too much longer!
