All things come to an end

Well I see my little game did not go over too well. That just tells me that it is time for me to stop blogging.
It was fun while it lasted, but all good things come to an end sometime and that time is now.
Thanks for all the comments and insite, I appreciate it all and definately will walk away a better person.

Cherish every day for you may not get another to cherish.

Movie Quote Game



Ok, I figured since I will be away from posting for a few days again, I would try something out that worked really well for a friend of mine when he posted on a regular basis. You can check out what he has been doing at 13shirts.com

The point of this game is to quote a movie and use the next number in sequence. For example..."ONE may smile and smile and be a villain" (JFK). Then the next comment would have the #2 (two) in it such as "Are you TWO having a killer time?" (Napoleon Dynamite). Write the quote and name the movie then try and keep it going. The person with the most posts wins. Now be careful, cause if someone else is entering a quote at the same time, and beats you, you will be disqualified. And there is one big rule...YOU CANNOT POST 2 COMMENTS IN A ROW!

If you have played this before, try to come up with new quotes and not go back to previous posts....you know who you are.

Let's say we play till Tuesday...have fun!!

Gratitude and a whole lot more



Well it is Wednesday and I missed gratitude Tuesday imagine that. It was a long but wonderful weekend. We did well at the tournament and had a great time with all of our friends. It is one of those things that you are glad it is over and you can rest but you hate to see it end becuase it is not too often that you have that many friends in one place.

I am busy at work trying to get things done so that I can go to another tournament this weekend and to get ready for my transition into my new job, so the posts are going to be few and far between for awhile but I will try to comment as much as possible.

Some of the "g" words that I am greatful for:

Grass - Fresh cut grass on a warm summers day, lying there watching the world go by.

Gram - Even though she is not with us any more I will always be greatful for all that she did for me and the love she shared.

Gas - Fuel that is, even though the price is high, we still have the ability to drive our cars, fly our planes and heat our homes.

Gum - what is not to love about gum, I love the smell, the taste, and blowing bubbles

Gratitude - For being able to express my gratitude towards others

Greeting Cards - For that little surprise waiting in the mailbox

The list is short but I am greatful today and everyday.

Gone darting



It is a dart weekend and even though the tournament is close to home, we will stay the weekend and have some fun. This is by far one of my favorite tournaments. I have always done well here and hope that will ring true this year and I love the people. This is one of the tournaments that I know the most people at, mostly becuase I see them every weekend or they live close enough that I see them in between tournaments. There are quite a few people that I am excited to see and hang out with this weekend. I know it seems more like a social event than a tournament, but when it comes down to it, the competitiveness in all of us will shine.

So today is my last day of work for the week and I will soon be heading home to get ready to leave tomorrow. Now if I told you how close the tournament is and what all I am taking you would think that I am nuts, but you can never be too prepared for these things.

This is the first year that I will be sharing a room with friends and I can't wait as we always have a great time. I just have to remember to keep the nuts away from.....well you know who you are, and no ice by the suit cases or drinks on the bed.

So I am off, have a great weekend all.

Much about nothing

Well I had to finally switch over to the new blogger and it is not so bad, but I am having a bit of trouble posting comments to other blogs. No matter how is try to sign in, to post my comment, it tells me my pass word is wrong. So if I have not commented for a while you know why.

It was a pretty good weekend, spent all day Friday with my son doing various things, played darts Friday night and have a good time and took 4th place, laid on the couch all day Saturday and did nothing...love those days, played darts Saturday night, did not win anything but had a great time seeing all that were there, did nothing Sunday but laundry and some reading.
This coming weekend is a dart tournament here in PA, it is only about 20 minutes or so from the house but it is a nice little get away weekend as I always stay. The tournament used to be states but not for quite a few years, it is starting to get big again so I think they may make it states again if they have not already. This is one of my favorite tournaments as there are so many people there and I know a lot of them. I am sure a good time will be had by all.

This morning when I can in, I had originally planned on a Valentines Day post and how much that I hate it and that everyone should let their loved ones know how special they are all of the time and not just on this one day, but I decided against it as I thought that maybe I felt so badly about it this year more so than any other year since I have no one to tell me that I am special not do I feel special. And that is all I have to say about that.

It is funny, last week we were at below zero temps and it was freezing in here, now that we are in the 20's it seems like the heat has decided to work and it is a hot house in here, there is never any happy medium with the tempatures at work. Now we are preparing for snow and freezing rain...just what I wanted. I really need to consider moving to a warmer climate where it does not snow, then again with the freaky weather these days, is anywhere safe?

For Christmas I bought my son a MP3 player, but my computer was not up to date to download WMP 11 so I ordered the XP service pack 2 to install. When I got it and tried installing it the first time I got an error stating that it would not load one of the files....needless to say I gave up. Yesterday I sat down again and everything went smoothly and I loaded the MP3 player with a bunch of songs he wanted. I was very excited about this accomplishment, more so than he was about having his MP3 player that has been collecting dust since Dec 25th. Now I really want one or maybe even an ipod, so I think I will sometime this month.

Well it seems that I have rambled on long enough, got to get ready for Gratitude Tuesday. Have a wonderful evening.

Gratitude Tuesday



Tuesdays seem to come so fast, maybe it should be Gratitude Fridays that way the weekends would seem to come faster. Then again, I guess that would fall under the category of "wishing your life away", and by all means I do not want to do that as I still have not found my place in this world.

Do you ever wonder how important you really, who would really miss you if you were not here, where do you really belong, and if you are someone that you should not be? I guess after life changing events we start to wonder those things and a whole lot more, I know that I do and have been for a while now. I guess what is really important is that you like who you are and protray yourself to be, as long as you are true to yourself you are heading in the right direction. I think that I am heading in the right direction, I just need someone to give me a little push to get the momentum going.

Gratitude Tuesdays are a good way to look at things differently than you normally would. I do not recall all of the lists that I read last week, but I thought of a "d" word that I am thankful for and that is dirt, with out it we would not have green grass, produce, food for our livestock, mud puddles, dirty kids and a whole lot more. Not to many people would think to be thankful for something so insignificant, but in reality it really is not.

Gratitude Tuesday "E"

Ears - For the ability to hear, hear the voices of my friends, the soothing sound of a comforting loved one, a childs joke.

Earphones - For allowing me to listen to my music and not disturbing others, sometimes I wish this worked the other way as well.

Earth - For all the wonder and amazing things it holds. This is a far too big of place to list all of the things that I am greatful for.

Education - For being there for me to learn a trade, an occupation, and for teaching me about the past and all the wonderful things that I missed.

Electricity - I am very thankful for this, but sometimes wish that we would not have it as we rely too much on it and do not read or find other things to do like we would if we did not have it.

Elevators/Escalators - For giving me the means to go up many floors without having to use the stairs when my knees hurt.

E-mail - For allowing me to keep in touch with my friends who are far away.

Embrace - Have you hugged someone today? Hugging is a great source of affection and it shows that you really care about that person. Also, it is a great feeling to receive a hug from someone as that means they care about you too.

Emotions - I wear my heart on my sleve and cry at the sappy movies, books, commercials, conversations. I love emotions as they are the greatest part of who we are, sometimes I wish I could shut them off for a bit.

Employement - For giveing me the ability to live and provide. Money is not everything and does not buy happiness, but it is a necessity.

Eraser - For allowing me to erase the mistakes that I made. If it were only that easy to erase the mistakes we make in our daily lives.

Eucalyptus - I love walking into a craft store and smelling the eucalyptus.

Evergreens - For giving us something green in the drabby winter time where everything is dirty and blah. Also for the wonderful smell they give us at Christmast time.

Extension Cords - For when the cord is just a tad short.

Eyes - For giving me the abitity to see, see all the beauty around me, for looking into someones eyes, for seeing my son grow up, for seeing all that I can.

BRRRRRRR!!!!

All I have to say is...."IT'S COLD"!!!!! I sure do not want to hear people in FL today complaining that it is only 62 degrees because when I left the house this morning it was -3 degrees and colder than that with the wind chill factor. These cold temps have been going on since Saturday and are suppose to last till Wednesday when it will reach a high of 25 degrees. My car did not want to start this morning and then after it did, it was strange, almost like it was stiff. I am pretty sure that I did not sign up for this.

Well here are the answers to the Friday questions.

1. Alabama - I guess it is a cool thing to carry ice cream cones in your back pocket there
2. Colorado - I guess people feel a lot of aggression towards rocks, who knew
3. New York - I have nothing to say here
4. Rhode Island - So if you are stuck in a crazy marriage, you may consider moving here
5. Indiana - I hope showers are not out as well
6. Wisconsin - Yeah, will not be visiting here any time soon
7. Utah - Please see #6

It is always interesting to read these little fun facts, I hope that you enjoyed them as much as I did.
