1.  This year will probably be the least I've blogged.  It's not like I don't have things to say but sometimes they just seem silly ;-0

2.  Last year we didn't do Easter here because of my mom passing the month before.  In fact, hippie and I celebrated alone.  This year, I really didn't feel like making something again.  I talked to brother about going to a restaurant to eat.  I thought he would complain but he was okay with it.  We are going with him, his wife and his in-laws.  I think it will be fun and the most important thing is I won't have to stress about it.

3.  Tomorrow is Magellan's last maintenance treatment.  It's been a pretty long haul.  First chemo and then 2 years of maintenance.   She is excited and nervous.  Glad to be done but now she'll be on her own.  There is something comforting about having treatment and knowing you are doing something. I understand though.  Hopefully, she will be in remission forever this time.

4.  Son's girlfriend/fiance has been going for job interviews at universities and community colleges.  She has a job offer on the table right now but she has a couple more visits at universities and has to make a decision before then ugh!  Doesn't it figure?  I don't know what they are going to decide. 

5.  The weather here has been pretty typical I guess.  Rain, cold, kinda warm lol.  I haven't had too much of a chance to sit in the patio but I'll get there pretty soon. 

6.  The person I'm not supposed to mention is able to drive again ;-)

That's about it.  I hope everyone has a good Easter.  I'll write about our dinner which I hope is fabulous.

1.  It's hard to believe it's almost September already.  Leaves are changing on some trees here.  I love fall.

2.  This past month, we had a buck come into the backyard a few times at night.  He ate the leaves off the tomato plants and green beans.  Then he would lay in the yard for a couple of hours.  I couldn't really get a picture because it was too dark. 

3.  Any family reading - no dish clothes this Christmas.  I just wasn't into it.

4.  I finally did it.  A friend got her hours cut at work, so I hired her to clean my house.  She's going to start in September.  I feel weird about it, not that she's my friend, but the fact someone else is going to clean my house...  I'll have to see how it goes, ha!

5.  We had the family picnic a couple of weeks ago.  We got to see the nephew that was in the hospital.  It was good to see him upright.  He seems to be doing well.

6.  A couple of weeks ago, I was reading an article on Huffington Post about twerking.  I never knew such a thing existed.  After the whole Miley Cyrus thing, I'm sure a lot more people know about it as well now.  Kids these days, ha!

7.  I made an appointment to go to the Social Security office.  They sent me two letters reminding me about it, one email, and the day before I was suppose to go, a computer generated call.  I thought it was a little excessive but they must have thought I would have a senior moment and forget.

This and that

Yesterday when I was opening a can for the dog, I cut the top of my index finger.  Ouch!!  It was bleeding a lot.  I almost thought I was going to need stitches.  We put peroxide on it and bandaged it pretty good.  I cleaned it again in the evening and it was still bleeding but only a little bit.  So I put another band aid on.  This morning it's fine.  Thank goodness, I would have hated to go to ER.

We went to see mom as usual.  We sat in the lobby by the fireplace.  It's so cozy.

I bought some raffle tickets there.  They are raffling off some little decorated Christmas trees and wreaths on December 3rd.  Each department made them.  The raffle is for Alzheimer's.  This is the first year they did this and she said they've gotten a good response.  Hopefully, we might win something.

I'm decorating the tree slowly but surely.  I'll probably get it done today.  After that I still have a few more things to get out and then I should be done.

Have a good day.
