Stroke of Midnight!

                      HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

 

Well, my New Years was celebrated a little earlier with my son and this evening has been pretty laid back.  I don't venture out anymore but tomorrow we'll do more celebrating.  Maybe I will give steak a try.  YEAH!

 

My sister and I sat around watching movies, I played a bit with graphics, and we'll watch the ball drop.  Locally they are also dropping a car.  Yes, you heard that right.  I am not sure what the object is and/or if they giving it away. We'll see and I will let you know tomorrow.  I have this ready to post and save as the clock strikes 12.  I'm a dork like that. 

 

Again, wishing you all a Happy New Year!

Looking Back....

2006 started with my son moving out on his own.  I thought I would die without him here.  Even though he had a life of his own and was always on the go, I knew he'd be back.  It had been him and I for so long I just couldn't imagine.  I watched him pack his things as I held back the tears.  He knew, and I know he ached, but it was time for him to move forward.  He needed to spread his wings and I needed to let him.  When the door shut behind him with his last load, I cried.  Sadness for me but joy for him.  He was a responsible young adult getting on with his life.  I was proud!

 

I adjusted to my new life, and I grew in so many ways.  I found things to do with my spare time and filled his old room with this and that.  No, no hockey.  LOL  He is always welcome here and he knows it, but I couldn't stand to look at the empty room.  In the background I watched as he grew.  He got a great job and was living a life that mothers dream of.  He is happy, I am happy for him.  He stops over regularly and fills my heart with joy each and every time. 

 

I could go on and on with what's happened in JLand, but we lived it.  We've seen good times and bad, we've seen the best in people and the worst.  We've watched folks grow as well as seen some stand still.  The peaks and valley's of life.  I've seen true colors of some, and made some excellent friends along the way.  I won't list all of you, you know who you are :)  You've touched me deep down and helped me grow into a better person.  My life is full and I am honored to have you with me.

 

The rest of my family grew too.  So many changes, but then none.  We all got older and adjusted to the changes.  Some better then others.   Time stands still for no one no matter how hard we try.  It's how and what we do as time goes by that defines us. 

 

I wish you all the happiest of times.  I hope 2007 brings good fortune, good luck, and good health.  I hope all your wishes and dreams come true.  I hope families come together and share the love that was meant to be.  My family is happy, most of the time.  We grow together, share sickness and health.  We are here for each other..... as we move forward.

 

Happy New Year all!  With much love

Can you say Commercial?

Well you all know we went to my sister's for Christmas Eve.  The other day my Dad sent me a link to the pictures he had taken.   I went to the site and laughed my ass off when I saw.  He's a hoot! 

 

I was sitting in the kitchen across the table from him minding my own business drinking my whiskey sour.  My favorite holiday drink I might add.  He pulls out his camera and I chuckle, thinking ok someone who can focus the camera.  I grab the bottle of Vodka and do a slight pose.  Well one thing led to another and as I was trying to do my best Vanna White impression the rest of the room had to get their two cents in.  Laughing ensued and yes, some snorting too.  I forgot about the camera and went on with the jokes.  Dad snapped the picture anyway. 

 

OMG!!!  I look like I should be in a Pepsodent Commercial.  Maybe I should edit the Vodka bottle to say something else?  Put a sparkle on my teeth?  Can my mouth be open any wider?  Could I show more teeth?  Could I have painted my nails instead of cutting them?  Could my hair look any worse?  Good Gaawd I laughed so hard I thought I was going to wet myself. 

 

Soooooooooooo it's not the best picture I've ever taken, it's not the best smile.  But hey... it's me having a good time enjoying my family and friends.  If I can't laugh at it then I'd be in a sorry state wouldn't I?  I could have just filed it away and not put it here, but I'm feeling a bit punchy.  A bit delirious from the Dayquil, and well, just plain silly, so I thought I'd share it with my friends.  LMAO ok... and those that will no doubt take cheap crap shots.  But hey.... it's funny isn't it?  Should I send it off to Pepsodent? 

 

Third period is starting... back to the hockey game.

Cool or Cold?

Yeouzer!!  I had a splitting headache earlier.  First one in a very long time.  I had to go lay down for a bit, so I popped some pills and went to bed.  Quiet and dark.  I must have fell asleep, I think I even drooled.  LOL  When I woke up I felt like I had eaten sand paper.  My throat was dry and very raw.   I got up and drank a ton of water trying to 'lube' it up, but it didn't really work.  It's still sore, but I am not having the difficulty in swallowing like I did earlier.  You pigs, no comments on swallowing!!!! :)~

My son has been fighting something off all week and no doubt he gave me an additional present during one of his visits.  GRRRRRRRRR  I'd been feeling like I was mountain climbing with my emotions the past two days.  Up & down.  Now I know why.  I just did my laundry and hung out in front of the TV.  No hockey, so you know I wasn't feeling well.  What did I watch?  Hell if I know!  What I do know is I'm off to bed.  Nyquil anyone?  ::holding out the bottle::

 

Nightie Nite... Sleep Tight

It's Over

Yes, I know Chris over and Cab's Creations posted a similar graphic on Christmas Eve.  Sorry Chris, I had it done and waited a few days to post, but I want to move it off my hard drive.  It truly fits with this entry too :)  I know she knows I did not steal it, as do others.  I just wanted to clarify.  It's similar, like both have Santa in the tub.  LOL  I really have no reason to steal anyone's graphics.  I've pretty much used my own since I started making them. Either following a tut or something I put together.  My journal has become some what a hodge podge of graphic snags and to post someone else's work for snag just isn't me.  If I don't have a graphic, I either don't post or I do an entry without.  Not that it's right or wrong, like I said, it's just me.

 

Well, it's over.  All the gifts have been delivered and it's time to just relax and enjoy the rest of the time off.  A nice warm bubble bath does sound good, doesn't it?  Rest those weary bones and muscles?  Ok, except for my sister.  She went out shopping today to get some wrapping paper while on sale.  Can you believe we finally depleted the supply we had?  I thought it would last a life time!  I go back into her room to talk to her and she jumps and waves her hand at me to leave.  She is wrapping presents for next year!  OMG!!!  I remember those days, but stopped doing that after the year I forgot about them.  In April I found them buried in my closet.  LMAO  To small to fit my son any longer and off they went to charity.  Brand spanking new!  Not that I didn't feel good about giving something brand new, but I was pissed that I forgot about them.

 

The strike is over too.  I know so many out there are going through tough times and I felt a twinge of guilt this morning when I got all my comments and emails.  I was so excited last night that I didn't even think to consider how those less fortunate might have reacted.  I'm so sorry.  In no way was my intention to rub it in or doa 'na na na', I was expressing my joy after 3 months of striking, no pay from his job, no benefits, etc.  He's young and was beginning to feel the stresses of being an adult.  We all want the best for our children, and I am no different.  I shared the news as I did when they went on strike.  No hidden agenda, no ulterior motive.  It was pure joy from my heart as I had heard the announcement.  To be honest, it felt good sharing good news, something happy in this world of sadness.  I hope you all understand.  Oh, and all the comments/mails were good, and I thank you again!

 

I messed around with a couple graphics earlier and thought I'd share them.  I couldn't decide if I liked it with or without the snow.  I know those in CO prefer without.  Damn!  Can you believe all the snow they are getting?  Geeze Louise I think I heard they are going to get more tomorrow.  YIKES!  Stay warm and safe folks!   Well, I'm off to finish my laundry and get dinner going.  Enjoy the rest of the day and evening.  I know doubt will find something to post later.  LMAO

All over the board Thursday........ subject change to YEAH!!! ::big ass grin::

Hi folks!!  ::waving::  Hope everyone is having a good week so far.  I am amazed that my vacation is flying by!  I wished the week before hand away and now I regret it.  This week is going by so fast instead!  I'm getting bits and pieces done around here and today we did lunch.  Two of my sisters, Karen and Nancy, my Mother, and myself.  I took Nancy as it was her birthday a few days before Christmas. 

 

OMG!!!  Sorry... change of plan here.  As I was writing/typing, they broke into announce the outcome of the vote.   :::tears streaming down my cheeks:::  It's over.  The strike is over, thank God!  Thank you!!  I so appreciate all the positive and good vibes sent out to my son.  Ok... and the lovely comments about his looks too.  :)  It was an overwhelming majority at this plant and apparently overwhelming at all 12.  He goes back to work on Jan 2.  YEAH!!!  I called him, of course, because I knew he was not watching the news.  As my voice crackled and I got all teary eyed, he laughed, 'Mom, are you crying?'   I couldn't even answer as I felt the lump in my throat.  'Mom, you're an ass!'  I started laughing and he said he loved me and thanked me for calling but he was in the middle of a movie.  LOL  Kids, you gotta love 'em!  Thank you again!!!!  I'm doing a happy dance here.

 

Ok... back to lunch.  We didn't go for burgers, we went to the Olive Garden.  For those of you not familiar it's an Italian place.  The food is good and the bread sticks are so yummy!  She picked the place, so there we went.  I had Chicken Parm and ate so much I thought I'd bust.  We took our time enjoying the company and the food.  About 2 hours later we rolled ourselves out of the place and headed home.  She was happy and I think enjoyed it more then any gift I would have gotten her. 

 

I hada few other things I was going to write about but I'll be dipped in shit if I can remember them now.  Instead of writing all the nonsense I will just say thank you again!  OMG!  I am so freaking happy.  I wish I could put that into words, but I can't.  Not now, my hands are shaking and I can't even think clearly.  I will just leave you with a mix of graphics.  Enjoy... and again...

THANK YOU!!!  I thank you, and he thanks you!

~ Big Day Tomorrow & Winter Snags ~

I can't believe tomorrow is Thursday already.  YIKES!  Time is flying by.  Tomorrow is a big day for my son, and yes I have permission to post his picture, even tho he isn't smiling.  He rarely does for pictures.  The union votes on the ratification.  It appears it will pass locally with no problems, but there are some 14,000 others that have to vote as well.  One whole plant is slated to be shut down at the end of next year with offerings of great severance packages, but I don't think they will vote yes.  This same plant was left unprotected in the last agreement, so it isn't a big shock, yet who votes yes to losing their job in a year?  I saw the package for the contract and it seems fair, lets just hope the majority does.  I am not even sure exactly how that works, but they should know fairly quickly if it passes.  With all the sadness floating around JLand, I feel guilty asking for good vibes, but can I?  It's been a very long strike.  He's so young, and he could use some positive vibes right now.  Thanks :)

 

It was pretty cold and windy out today, but we never got snow.  There was a dusting when I got up this morning but it barely covered the grass.  They are saying this is the warmest December.  No shit!  It's been unbelievable.  Global warming at it's finest I think.  It's supposed to be in the 40's and they are calling for rain the rest of the week.  Next chance of snow is Monday night.  I'm not complaining.. I swear!  You'll no doubt hear me whine over the snow soon enough.  LOL  Until then I thought I'd share some winter graphics.  I never get sick of them.  Love them almost as much as water :)  No doubt you will get tired of them though... sorry ::evil grin::

 

I will be heading off to bed, but before I do I want you all to know I have you in my thoughts and prayers.  I know this time of year can be rough, any additional stress or sadness is just magnified.  I am so sorry some of you are dealing with that.  I hope better days are right around the corner.

 

Hugs

Winter..............

Is it?  For the first time in a long time we went without snow for Christmas.  I surely didn't want the storms we've gotten in the past, but I would have liked to have a coating.  Just a little.  I suppose I will be sorry down the road as no doubt we will get it.  They had called for a small storm to roll threw last night and this morning, but when I got up there was only a bit of white on the edges of the grass and it was gone before I finished my first cup of coffee.  It was more like frost then snow.  The ski resorts are going to be in sad shape if it doesn't change soon.  All the folks off for the holidays, kids out of school, all the snow toys for Christmas, and they won't get used.  Gage was playing basketball Christmas morning, as that's what he got from Santa.  Who'd have thought it?  Obviously my niece... LOL or she got a bargain she couldn't pass up :)  It's about 33 degrees now, but nothing happening out there.  Just darkness.

 

Watched the boys play earlier and it was an entertaining game.  In the first period they scored 6 goals.  Yes you heard that right, 6, but their lucky charm was around.  Then he went off to bed and they didn't score again.  LMAO  no matter they won the game.  I need that lucky charm around more and more.  Do you hear that?   I'm counting on you for post season, when it really matters!! 

 

Decided I'd just share some winter type graphics tonight.  I was in the mood :)  Most had been done prior to today, but I waited to put them up.  I have a few more New Year ones too, but am passing on the tutorials.  I will just stick to mine, less drama.  LMAO  For some reason I'm having a hard time with New Years.  Not that I don't want 2007 to start, but in a way I don't.  My niece will be leaving next week for Spain.  She will be studying there until May and I will miss her tons!  I can't even think about it without tears coming.  I will be doing an entry later about her, I just can't stay composed long enough to write it at the moment.  Love ya Le... and I can say that!  LOL  (inside joke).

 

Well, I'm going to get in bed early and hope sleep comes fast.  Hope everyone is good... and has a great hump day.  Ohhhhhhhhhh and for those that celebrate.. Happy Boxing Day!!  Hope it was grand.  Sorry I'm so late.  *hugs*

 

Night all & lots of hugs

The Day After & Some New Year Snags

OMG!  Can I just say I feel like I got hit by a truck!?!  Since Thursday night I've been up late.  Very late!  I'm usually up late as most of you know, but this was different.  Each night it was past 1 when I crawled in bed.  Saturday night it was close to 2, Sunday I didn't even get home until 2:30, and then again last night.  Up early and moving somewhat.  Well, I'm old!  Today I just hung out and played, laid around a little, played some more.  I tried my web cam with my sister earlier.  She doesn't have one, but she was able to view and hear me as she wrote in the AOL IM window.  It was pretty cool, but I think everyone needs to invest in one.  LOL  Ok, well you can be selective as to when you use it, otherwise some would have to be dressed and be all done up before hand.  Me... LMAO I was in my jammies when I did.  So it was only my sister, but the way I felt I don't think it would have mattered.  I'm sitting here in a my new hoodie and sweat pants, hair all pulled up and messy, and of course not a stitch of makeup.  I made great progress when I got dressed.  LOL like I care!  I've been hit by a truck and I don't feel like doing anything. 

 

My holiday window graphic was one I wanted to use before Christmas, but it got lost in the mess on my hard drive.  It was one I put together with bits and pieces and actually liked it.  How did I forget?  The drugs!  Must have been the drugs!  Ok, no I'm on no drugs, it got lost in the folder.  The New Year ones are some that I just added a few touches to and then there is the hour glass.  I put it together piece by piece.  LMAO  The sand looks a bit spastic, but I didn't feel like doing it over, so you get it spastic.  :)~

 

I'm off to find something to eat and watch my boys.  Will no doubt post again later.  I hope everyone had a great 'day after' and has recovered. 

 

Hugs

HO HO HO

         Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting


Wow!  What a couple of days!!   We spent Christmas Eve at my sisters.  The entire family, plus a few, joined in for the celebration.  Her family room was taken over by brightly colored wrapped gifts.  Funny how there is so much when we exchange, but every year the pile gets larger and larger.   Dinner was marvelous.  We had roast beef sandwiches, cheesy potatoes, sausage with pepper, onions, and mushrooms, stromboli, the list goes on and on.  Just typing that made my tummy full all over again, so I won't bore you with all the pickings.  The kids (all of them!) were anxious to get to the gifts.  As we started passing them out we had a surprise visit from the 'Man' himself.   Gage was thrilled that he made his appearance.  He's been doing so for years and this is the first time he arrived after we started opening.  'Santa, I'm so happy you didn't forget me.'  He said with a twinkle in his eye and a smile as big as the grand canyon.   Gage then turned to his sister to make sure she was ok.  He is so protective of her.  Bug stood there with amazement in her eyes.  Though he has visited her before on Christmas Eve, it's a distant memory for a 3 year old.  She stared and studied him with such intensity.  Familiar but not, as she had a bit of hesitation.  She was absolutely precious.


The boys arrived at our house early this morning and we exchanged our gifts.  I think everyone was extremely happy.  I know I was.  Steve bought me a web-cam and I can't wait to test it out.  It's set up and installed and I played with a few videos.  It's not as clear as I had hoped, but maybe I just need to mess with the settings a bit.  I will play more tomorrow when I have time to really study it.  The entire day was a whirlwind of cooking, eating, cleaning, and starting over again.  We then went to my sisters for some dessert this evening.  Can you say exhausted?!   Stuffed?!  Thrilled to be on vacation?! 

 

I hope everyone's day was filled with happiness and joy.  I'm off to bed.

I Had To .....

         Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting


I just had to do another tutorial.  There are so many out there offered up for folks who do graphics.  It's been a long time since I did any of my graphics this way, but I thought these last few holiday ones were absolutely gorgeous.  I edited this one a bit to have it be animated a touch.  :)  There's a blank one for you to snag if you like.  Anyone who would like the site for the tutorial, let me know.  You will need to have PSP, animation shop, as well as some working knowledge of PSP.  You'll no doubt see these beauties around 'town' and most likely done by a number of different folks.

Shocked and Extremely Disappointed

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting


 


Well, I made this tag earlier, following a tutorial somewhat.  I was already to do a nice happy entry, but oh how fast things change.  My earlier post, you know the one, from about 5:00 this afternoon had a tag, well it seems a similar one was posted on another journal about an hour and half later.  No big deal really, tut's are a dime a dozen.  It's only similar to a point, different picture, different snow, different elements added.  No surprise as it regularly happens.  I post and within hours maybe a day the same graphic is posted elsewhere as well.  I have no idea why as there are plenty of tubes and graphics out there, but whatever. 

 

What pissed me off, is someone asked this person, (who did not even do the graphic and stated such), if it was made by me.  No it wasn't, and the person, who at one time was a friend.  You know, I shared tutorials with her, gave her programs, filters, plug ins, hell I even made the sig line she uses, but she felt it necessary to block me from commenting on her journal, took my links off her side bar.  Oh the drama.... all because someone she disliked commented on my journal.  Apparently she felt if I was a friend I would remove that person's comment and block them.  I didn't.  But today.  What does she do?  She more or less accuses me of stealing someone else's graphic.  Subtly of course, but it's there, those true colors.  Yes the same one she posted after I did, I stole it.  No, I did the same tut as someone else.  Get a clue!  When she called me 'Mommy Dearest' I laughed and let her immaturitys go to the way side, but accusing me of something like that cannot be ignored.  I am pissed, and no doubt she knows it will piss me off, but what does she care, she won't let me comment there.  Such a brave soul.  Funny, 'mommy dearest' has been sent to me many a times by an unknown name......   you know the one...   no balls.. hide behind a fake name, apparently, and now make derogatory comments when I can't respond there.  Well, you forced the response here.....  Nice... very nice.  Merry Christmas to you too my 'friend'. 

~ Holidays ~

Wow... took me a awhile to get an entry up today.  I had all intentions of doing one earlier but the day got away from me.  I went and got my hair cut this morning.  Not cut short like I've worn it in the past, but a trim to shape it.  It's been growing like a weed.  With the weight, my curls just fell hap hazardly and looked like shit to say the least.  I then spent some of the afternoon wrapping the gifts of those that weren't roaming aimlessly around my house.  With any luck I can get them finished tonight.  Can I tell them all to leave?!?  LOL I do not want to wrap on Christmas Eve. 

 

This year we will be having Christmas Eve at my sister Marge's.  For as far back as I remember we've done it at my parents, but it really has become too much.  After Dad's open heart surgery, the mild stroke, and the recent diagnosis of Parkinson's, it's too much to put on my Mom alone.  I know this is very hard for her to give up, but damn she deserves to sit and relax for the holidays.  They also have their house on the market, and they don't need all this aggravation, almost 30 people in one place is chaos!   Marge is a saint for taking it on!  Of course we will all bring something to help lighten her load.

 

Christmas morning the kids will be here and we will open gifts and do our traditional large breakfast with way too much food.  The rest of the day the kids will do their thing, my sister and I will most likely clean the mess and veg a bit as we get things in order for our dinner.  Since breakfast is so large it will most likely be a late sit down and then we'll run to Marge's again for dessert.  Since the boys are grown they have their visits they have to make so we can relax a bit and not have to run like maniacs like years past.  I wonder how that will be, but surely I won't be bored or disappointed.  One thing I will be disappointed about is they are saying no snow.  I don't need 20 inches, but a dusting would be nice.

 

Very little word on the tentative agreement, but all Union members need to vote and they are not all local so this is not a guarantee settlement.  With any luck things will be fine and my son will be back to work by the new year.  When I say back to work, I mean back to his job.  He has been working but he hates what he is doing!  LOL  Most folks do, don't they?  

 

Here are some of the last Christmas graphics.  I can't believe how many I did, and how many I haven't even touched yet.  Maybe I will do a clearance sale after the holidays LOL

I've also posted a New Year Graphic on my tag journal.  It will only be available a short time for two reasons.  New Years is around the corner and I have some things to do over the next few days.  I do ask that you request from that journal so I can keep requests in one spot and not miss anyone.  I've added my name to this, as I've done in the past, and will gladly add yours.  Please note the name is on the envelope flap and I may have to change slightly if your name is longer. Click here to request or email MyDsDesigns@aol.com

~ Seasonal Snags ~

I'm on vacation!  YEAH!!!  Had a few holiday drinks today and not really in the right frame of mind.  I did my tag entry and then went to the Union site to see if there were any updates.  Guess what?  They've come to a tentative agreement and there is a vote next week.  OMG!!!  Can you say happy?!  Just got off the phone with my son.  He is stoked!!  Keep your fingers crossed, there are over 15,000 folks that will be voting.  Let's hope!!!  Damn it!! I should have asked for the million dollars too!  LOL

 

Just emptying my hard drive so here is a mix of graphics, I'm off to bed to sleep this off :)  Good night.

Been Tagged

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting  
 

I've been tagged by Lisa

The Rules:
The player of this game starts with "3 things he/ she would love to get for Christmas" and also has to list "3 things he/ she definitely does not want to get for Christmas".
Then he/she tags 5 friends and list their names.  The ones who get tagged need to write on their blogs about their Christmas wishes, as well as state this rule clearly, then tag 5 more victims. And the one who tags needs to leave a comment that says "you've been Christmas tagged!" in their comments and tell them to read your blog.

 

Ok, it's been awhile since did one of these.  I am usually late in getting my post up and then everyone has already been tagged.  So, I triple dog dare all of you to do this.  Yes, you read that right,  I am tagging anyone who has not done it yet :)~

 

3 Things I would like for Christmas

I really don't 'need' anything except good health (not that I'm sick) and that is a difficult gift to give.  Well, and I could use a million dollars.  Anyway want to send my way?  ::grin::

 

1.  I would love my sons place of employment to end their strike and come to an agreement.  He's my life and I want to see him happy.  He deserves a good life and this job can give him that.

 

2.  May sound corny, but I want world peace.  I want to see the violence out there end.  I want to see folks be kind to each other.  I get so tired offolks feeling they have the right to hurt, belittle, and take anything they want.  I'm not talking about the 'act' of being kind I am talking about being kind. 

 

3.  Ok, one for me.  I want a web cam!  LOL 

 

3 Things I don't want

 

1.  socks and underwear.  I will buy my own thank you :)~

 

2.  Useless appliances that just take up space on my counter top or in my cupboards

 

3.  That new toothbrush in my stocking.  ROFL  Give me lottery tickets instead

~ Misc Thursday ~

:::waving:::  Hi everyone!!  Is it Friday yet?  Almost!  YEAH!!  Not that I want to wish my life away, I'm just so looking forward to a vacation!  Today at work was pretty laid back.  We had our Holiday lunch and it was wonderful.  The day definitely flew by.  We had a spread of food that made your mouth water just looking at it... and guess what.  I ate!  LOL  No issues, no problems, I just savored each and every bite.  I felt like I should be strapped to a table of food with my arms out stretched screaming ::I'm healing, I'm healing::: Ok bad play on 'What about Bob'  LOL  Yes, I'm tired.

 

I thought I had a ton to say this evening but I guess I really don't.  Talks are still going on for the strike, which has to be taken as good news.  They are still talking!  Last time talks only lasted two days.  Just to clarify, my son is working and striking.  He took a job to hold him over.  He just hates it.  LOL  He wants his job back.  Would be a great Christmas present if they come to an agreement.  Keep good thoughts coming please :)

 

All my shopping is done and now I just have to wrap the last of it.  Was going to do it this evening but I had a house full and got caught up in a great IM conversation.  So it will have to wait until tomorrow.  Or Saturday....  I will not wait until Sunday!  I will NOT! 

 

I'm posting a few more graphics for snags.  I should get the end of the Christmas ones up before Sunday and I will start on the New Years ones.  I have a few done already but these have been sitting waiting.  I actually thought I posted a few of them before but couldn't find them.  LOL so if they are repeats, sorry.......... 

 

Off to bed... one more day of work! YEAH  ::big ass grin:: Can you tell?  Can you see how excited I am?  Does anyone really know?  Does anyone really care?  LOL  Ok... 'nuff Donna go to bed!  

 

Hugs
