I just did an online survey about the year 2008.
The most votes received was that 08 was lousy.
Are we counting too much on 09?
One thing that is going to be bigger.....taxes.

Dump box
One of my goals is to 'get rid of' half of everything we own. Not in furniture or cars but in junk and mementos, books, things that have not sold on eBay.
Process....pile everything in a big dump box. Dispose of half of the box and half of what was in it is g o n e.
It is very freeing.

It's almost over
As much as I love the Christmas season, it goes by much too quickly.
It's no time at all for family to arrive, groceries to be bought, eaten and family leaves.
Just too quick.

RIP Dryer
It is a terrible time of the year for your dryer to die. Mine has so now I am washing everything in an attempt to have it all washed and take it all to the laundry to dry.
I shouldn't complain. For years I had to do it all at the laundry!
The timing is just not good to be without a dryer.
How spoiled am I?

The week before Christmas. What are you doing? Are your days insane with things to do, places to go, stuff to buy?
What happens to peace, love, joy at this time of year?
No where to be found, huh?

Adam Walsh
Do you remember little Adam? His part toothless little smile, standing tall with his baseball hat on his head and the bat in his hand? I do.
I was a young mother, myself, back then. I remember the horror that went through our little town at the news of Adam's abduction from a local Sears store in Florida. The world changed that day for me. We were more vigilant, more aware, more protective.
Today, 27 years later, his killer has been named. The man is now dead and has been for a decade but all of the evidence pointed towards him, a pervert, child predator, murderer, who decapitated little Adam and threw his head in a canal. The rest of his body was never found.
But today, Adam, you have justice. May your killer continue to burn in hell and you sweet, Adam, may you rest in peace.
Your life truly had purpose and you will not be forgotten.

Day to Day
Where does time go?
We have time saving devices all in our lives and yet time gets away so fast.
It's almost Christmas, 2008. Shouldn't it be 2007? 2005?
The older you get the faster time goes.
It's true.

Not a bum
Dear Fellow Bloggers....The title to my blog is not because I am a fat American living the life of ease. Well, I am fat and I am an American!!
I was injured at work so I am out of work.
The blog is a great diversion from my thinking about it and dealing with pain on a daily basis.
Tomorrow I have a 4 - 5 hr functional capacity test.
Not only am I dreading the test but dreading the aftermath of it.
Life is good but it definitely has it's downs!!!

In the search box, type in all caps the word REDUCED, click on the drop down category list.
It will show everything that has been reduced in price or shipping in that category.
Real bargains can be had!

The baby is coming today!!! The birth mom is in labor now.
Mommy and Daddy are flying to Texas.
You are special. You will be raised like many in the Bible were....by someone other than your physical parents.
You are like Moses, Joseph, even Jesus Himself.
Welcome to the world, Levi!! Get ready to say Roll Tide!

Money Saver
When you leave the house or apartment, adjust the thermostat.
My daughter, who lives in a 3 bedroom, 2 bath home, has been doing this. She and her husband work full time so the heat is only up about two hours a day. They turn it back down during the night.
Their utility bill last month was $53.00.

Money Saver - Aluminum Foil
This hint is actually from my late mother-in-law. She never owned a dishwasher so this was a big deal to her and now is to me.
Instead of using a cookie sheet to bake frozen biscuits, or roast marshmallows, or reheat pizza, etc., use a doubled sheet of foil!!! Tear off the appropriate size, fold in half and spray with a cooking spray to prevent sticking.
The cooking time will be reduced and no clean up! It will save energy AND water AND washing soap and TIME!
Her motto: Why use a pan when a piece of foil will do?
