Be Somebody

If you wanna 

be somebody

you gotta 

rock a bow tie!

A quick throwback photo ....

just got home from a trip to see Mom

in California - it was her 80th Birthday!

Just can't let that one roll by without a visit!

Throwback Thursday

From December, 2012

To be beautiful

means to be yourself.

You don't need to be

accepted by others.

You need to accept

yourself.  

-Thich Nhat Hahn

Life has a way of keeping me

busier than I like!

We've finally hit cool weather

here in the Valley of the Sun.

We barely reach 70 degrees,

and with the winds kicking in

tonight's walk with Sadie was

quite a chilly one,about 55!

Well, chilly for us -- I wore a

long sleeved shirt AND a light jacket!!

A throwback from Nov 2012...  

(because I can't post without a pic!)

Another Monday, and I'm tuckered as all get out.

I took off Thursday morning for a long drive to 

Calif to see my mom.  A wrong turn, a roadside fire,

an accident, smelly cows ..... What's normally an

11 hour drive took 13.5 hours! 

Always SO good to see family - even though it was

too short a visit.  I turned around and headed home

on Sunday ....  A major sporting event let out right as

I was cruising into town, add three separate accidents

and numerous extra bathroom stops (ugh - eating 

foods that are different from the norm really get to me

now that I'm in my "golden years"...)  14 hours to get home.

It took a huge effort to haul my butt back into the car

to head to work this morning - where I found that not 

much of my work that needs doing every day was done.

Which meant I was super busy all day.  Thank goodness,

or it would have been easy to fall into a nap  :) 

Who's ready for the Holidays?  

Seems like once one BigBox store stayed open on

Thanksgiving, now everyone is open as well. 

Not only open, but starting their special deals for Friday

on that Thursday as well.  Lucky me, I'll be working

the 3-midnight shift.  Wonder how that will work, 

considering my normal hours for sleep are 8-4am.

Hmmmm.
