Those loose ends.

I have had several questions in my comments that I haven't gotten around to answering, stuff is happening all over J-land, so this entry is to tie up all those loose ends.  Or at least most of them.

Easter Monday.  I can't find anyone who knows why North Carolina used to use it for a holiday before slowly going to Good Friday.  What most people seem to think is that in a time long ago people wanted a three day weekend.  Monday seemed to be a good day to add to the weekend.  Why?  A lot of people travel for Easter.  They go home, they visit graves, they go back to a church they went to way back, and some even go to the Holy Land.  So why not give them Monday to get to town or at the very least to rest up after the "big" day before they have to go back to work.  Sounds plausable to me.  Don't know if that is the real reason but everyone I asked seemed to think it the most likely reason NC used it for a holiday for so long.

The floors I had put down is that wood lamanate (?) stuff with the tongue and grove that you pop together some how.  It looks like a real wood floor.  I HAVE a real wood floor but it was a real mess and I would have had to pay someone big $$$$$ to fix it up to look as nice as I wanted it to.  The new flooring was cheaper when you consider I didn't have to pay someone to lay it.

People out there in J-land seem to be falling in love all over the place!  I won't mention names but I am sure you can find them.  One couple is in that "sappy love" "mushy" type phase.  Hey NOTHING wrong with that!  But those of us that aren't part of a couple get a little nauseated around those that are so in love.  I hope everything works out for them.

The Top 5 editors pulled one of their picks? Whoa.  I really don't know what to say.  And others have probably said it better that I could if I knew what I wanted to say.

I do believe someone out in J-land is upset with me.  I don't know why.  I could be wrong but I feel the cold shoulder from someone.  If you are mad/upset or whatever with me I wish you would tell me.

Lastly, I am a member of several MSN groups and someone with the MSN screen name girlwithgreeneyes added Ashley's name and dates to this photo of her. If you have been reading my journal you know that Ashley died this past October at the age of 17.

What a beautiful picture of Ashley...I just started your journal so I didn't know you had lost her...I'm so sorry.  She lived a long time.  Kevin's cat is still alive.  She's jet black with green eyes.  I hope you get to tie up your loose ends.  I know the flooring you're talking about and it's beautiful and suppose to be much easier to keep up.  I am considering it in my home in lieu of carpeting.  Thanx for stopping by our journal and for your prayers.  Love and blessings, gloria and kevin, too.

I used to feel that way when i was single and not dating anyone special.  it's hard.  and especially if you have been burned.

Love in journal land, eh?  Seems like things like that should be kept to themselves not advertised.  Oh well! I have a second journal now.  Visit me if you wish.

What a gorgeous kitty cat! Great graphic altogether actually. A little confused about what the hell is up with that MSNer though. But now I'm curious. Who's upset with you?

Awwh, what a lovely pic and what a wonderful job on that graphic.  Hey, I can sympathize with you on the wood floor bit.  I did our mostly by hand in 6 sq foot sections... only took a year!  ¤Holly
