I was going to show everyone some pictures of my pets (past and present) in their santa caps but I can't get them to upload onto my hometown page.  I get the message that I either have too much space used or they are just having a problem with hometown pages right now.  I KNOW that I haven't used up my space, come on.   I will try again later.  If all else fails their is the "you've got pictures" right?

I am always at a loss as to what to get my parents for Christmas.  Not that they have everything, just most of what I can afford!

 

how to read journals written in too light a color

You know when you have an ah-ha moment?  When a light blub comes on?  I just had one!  And it works!  When surfing other journals sometimes I will come across one that I have trouble reading because of the colors used.  Easy solution!  Take your mouse and hi-light the page like you would if you were going to copy it.  Now you can read the writing!!  Woo-Hoo!!!!!  It doesn't make the fonts any bigger, but the colors change making them easier to read!

Storm's a comin'

Our weather man is calling for some bad weather to start by tomorrow morning.  If he is right we will get a "small" icing on trees.  I am not exactly sure what a small amount of icing is.  I do know that last winter we had an ice storm and I was without power for 4 or 5 days.  Thank goodness for kerosine heaters! 

Did anyone see the new reality show with Paris Hilton?  I hope she was kidding when she asked what a Wal--mart was.  I don't blame her for not helping to de-feather the chickens as I don't believe I could do that either. 

Speaking of Wal-mart, I was talking to this lady today while I was in the store.  We were talking about cats and how some cats you can handle just about any old way -- like the way you can handle them at cat shows.  My mom has a cat that you can't pick up.  When mom got Patches I don't think the cat had ever been handled.  She was still a kitten but not a very friendly one.  You still can't pick her up and she frightens easy.  I can't remember how long mom has had her, but I am guessing at least 10 years or more.

I got a phone call today from someone I have seen in about 15 years or so.  She called because she needs a charater reference for school.  I haven't seen P in all these years and now she wants a reference? ( I never really knew her that well, she is married to a friend of my brother.)  What in the world can I write?  Just be vaguely polite?

Christmas reading

There is a terrific book about Christmas that everyone MUST check out.  It is "Skipping Christmas" by John Grisham.  Don't worry if John Grisham isn't your type of author.  This is unlike any of his other books.  You will laugh so hard you'll be in tears!

The book is about a couple that decide to skip Christmas.  No Christmas cards, no trees, ect..They will be going on a Christmas cruise to the Caribbean.  Or at least that is what they think.  The more "Christmas" they try to avoid the funnier the book gets.

Humbug

Christmas is almost here.  woo-hoo.  Ok, I am a bit of a scrooge.  I find the Christmas season to be depressing.  I don't know why.  I buy presents, make Christmas cards (funny, I actually enjoy making the cards), I go to Christmas functions at church, ect....But I do get depressed every year at this time. 

Maybe it is because I don't have a family of my own.  Oh, I still have my parents and my brother and his family is around--somewhere, but I still don't have my "Mr. Right."  I used to spend part of Christmas with my best friend M, but when I got sick she only stuck around for so long.  I guess she couldn't hang in there for the long haul. Don't feel sorry for me, I am doing ok, I just have problems with depression like I have told you guys before.

I do make myself get out and be social even if I really don't want to.  I think it is important for me NOT to give in and become a hermit.  That would be so easy to do.

 

 

I love animated pictures, but I still am having problems maybe it's the pictures and not me.  Anyway, here is my attempt to try to get it right.
