Unrelated Rambling........

I found this site and decided to post my map below. I will update periodically, if needed.

I most wish to go to Seattle area or Alaska / Hawaii..... How about you?

If you make your own map, copy your link on comment so I can view...

I've traveled through some of those, but not "visited" so felt they were unworthy of a 'checkmark'....... Wisconsin was a flash of a memory as we went when I was about 7 or 8. Wisconsin Dells vacation. I have pics of me sitting on an Indian's lap with his tommahawk up! How funny.

My favorite places? Hmmm. Tennessee and Louisana so far....(Although I've not been back since the Hurricane!) I just love New Orleans! Can you say home of the LUCKY DOG???

Funny! I Love HOT DOGS because of the Cincinnati Red Legs games I attended as a child (yes, I was a child when I was 17 too!) I went with Dad and Sis....we had contests..."WHO could eat the most hot dogs in one game???"

As I remember, it was usually ME who got yelled at most..."DOWN IN FRONT!!" cause I couldn't sit still...hee hee. Sis and I developed a love for sports from Dad. Sis loves BB and I love FB...We both adore baseball...although she knows how to use those scorecard thingy's...

Wow, I'm "MOVED"!

This morning, I do what I usually do upon awakening.
I have a routine, although, I HATE saying I have a routine. It really galls! me to have a routine. Nevertheless, I do:
I wake up to Gus and his "Morning Wake-Up Wag". (that's a whole post in itself), I go pee, let Gus outside to pee, go get a glass of something to drink -usually V8 or water, feed Kitty & Gus, then sit to computer to wake slowly while reading emails, and the daily news. Today I had sliced & salted two cold homegrown Grainger County, TN tomatoes the size of softballs to eat while reading.

• I get the NY Times every day. Something caught my eye. As I watched the photo slide show and listened to this I was MOVED.... I got a real mixture of emotion: pride, sadness, empathy, and finally joy for the guys! Here's to all the guys. Listen to their words, help them, encourage them. I am still moved.



• I listened to our home voice mail... MAMMOGRAM IS CLEAR!!! I was MOVED to decide to enter future races to raise $ for Breast Cancer.. I was MOVED to email a "Buddy Check" to all gals in my address book to remind them to schedule their annual test, post a "Buddy Check" bulletin on MySpace, and to click here to help donate a free mammogram to those in need! (--I also found good Christmas presents for this year!) Today I got replies from women I haven't written or talked to in a long time! Which leads me to .........



• I have worked hard to be a better friend. I am surprised how well it is working! WOW! It's funny how very simple it is! I was MOVED when I just received the fourth invitation this week to see friends! Sunday dinner across the lake, Thursday luncheon with 3 gals I used to work with, today I was invited to a Cincinnati Reds Game for next month-double WOO HOO to that!, and tomorrow for dinner with another friend across the lake. It's great to have all these friends when hubby travels. I need them! Thanks-Gals!



• Yesterday I was walking with Gus on our no-sidewalk-on-the-mountain-rural-road when a car traveled around the 90 degree turn above our house at about 30 mph! Gus was startled, as was I, and at the same time a group of neighbor dogs were barking at us. Gus pulled so hard to get away from dogs and car, & somehow pulled his neck out of the collar, leaving me holding leash attached to collar. The car screeched to a halt, I screamed, dog was unscathed. I thanked them for not hitting dog, but they angrily pressed accelerator and sped down hill to Karaoke Night at the Marina... I was MOVED to deposit dog at home, hop on ATV, go to Marina and give them a piece of my mind. Well, I did just that! I felt better. (Especially with big Trent by my side!!!) Driver promised to watch speed in the future! Yeah, RIGHT!
