So last night my house was attacked. Violently
and without cause. It was just standing
there minding its own business. I mean,
it is just a house after all. But it's
attacker did not care. The attacker was
quick and brutal. The suspect you ask? A skunk.
But this was no ordinary skunk, heck no.
This skunk sprayed my poor innocent house as if the house was going to
gobble it up or fall on it. The smell....oh
my gosh.....the smell permeated each small crack and made its way into the
interior of the home covering it in a thick fog of the nastiness smell imaginable. The fog worked its way into every room and
every fiber of our being. No amount of
air fresheners or Scentsy burners could break through the horrific smell. And this morning? The smell was still there, clinging desperately
and not letting go. Poor house. Even after a heavy rain the exterior still smells.....several hours later. So I ask dear
skunk, What did my house do to you and why did you feel the need to express
yourself without probable cause? Please
do not come back dear skunk. Even though
you are cute, you are not welcome here
and if you spray my dogs, I will find you and you will pay.

Out and About - The Random Things Found Along the Way
Sidewalk Closed........
Thankfully there was a sign because you know, I would have never guessed!
But in all seriousness, how can a sidewalk be CLOSED when it was never there to begin with?

2014 - It's a wrap
Yeah, I know......this blog is not very active. At all. I only have myself to blame as I really don't have much to say unless it's about books. If it is about books, then sometimes you just can't shut me up!
A big highlight for me was the birth of my grandson. You just can't get any bigger than that! It is a totally amazing experience being a grandmother and I know it's going to be an exciting ride living life through a child's eyes again.
Another big highlight was that my daughter graduated college (YAY Ashley!). The last semester was a challenge for her (being pregnant and all) but she did it and I am so proud of her!
I'm not going to waste my time and yours on the 'downs' of this year because quite frankly, no one wants to hear the bad (unless it's about a celebrity). But these 'downs' did make me a stronger person, and for that I am grateful.
What I do know is that I will continue reading, blogging about various stuff (mainly books) and spoiling my grandson. I know that I will read some amazing books written by amazing authors and I will try to do my part in spreading the word about their words. I will try to be more patient about things that are out of my control. And most important of all, I will try to be a better ME. Because if I don't have a firm grasp of who I am, then what's the point of it all?
If you made it to this point, thank you for reading. And if you made it to this point, I want to wish you and yours the very Happiest New Year possible!
But alas, this year did have it's ups and downs.

Who the heck knows!

Random Conversation....on Muffins
Conversation between my 69 year-old father and my younger sister
that made me giggle
Father: Did you hear what she called me?
She said I was a Stud-Muffin!
She said I was a Stud-Muffin!
Sister: Yeah, you’re a muffin all right……a
Bran-Muffin!
Oh, Baby!
On
October 10, 2014 at 7:40 p.m. my grandson was born! I am so proud of my daughter and her fiancé
and wish them the very best on their new journey as parents.
It's
funny, because at 40 something, I don't feel old enough to be a
grandparent. One thing I do feel though
is so much love for this little bundle of joy.
He is perfect in every way and I can't wait to spoil him and watch him
grow up and do great things!
So
welcome to the world baby William and always remember that
“You is kind. You is smart. You is important.”
and most of all,
“You is kind. You is smart. You is important.”
and most of all,
You
is LOVED!

A big day for my family and my daughter
Today was my daughter's graduation from college. It's been a rough road for not only her but for us, the parents. We have had many ups and downs during this journey and at times there were doubts if she would even make it this far in her education....but she knew what she wanted and did it! Words can't even describe how happy and proud I am of my 'little girl'....and yes, she will always be my little girl. So, to my daughter Ashley, I congratulate you on your AWESOME accomplishment and I know that you will continue to grow and take the world by storm with your winning smile, your amazing personality and your strong determination. I love you very much and I am glad to have you as my daughter!
