I thought I was Super Woman...

I had big plans to continue with a blog update on the weekend.  But....because I thought I was Super Woman .... I paid up this weekend.

Let me regress. My 91 year old dad should surely get the flu shot, so should my husband, Paul, because he has had bronchial asthma. But me? Nah, I never get sick, my immunity is good, I eat well etc. Yeah, right. Remind me next year....get the flu shot!

I was feeling rotten all day Thursday at work, took to the couch and was sick in bed (or on the couch) from then on.  Missed work Friday, missed youth group Saturday, church Sunday morning & really disappointed to miss a two week planned get together with our kids.  I finally rallied by Monday morning and made it back to work Monday afternoon.

My hubby has been great though, kept the house looking decent and picked up, laundry never behind, dishes done. Mostly I appreciated the attention he gave me with bringing me water & a hot water bottle when I had the chills and bringing me soup and crackers when I wanted a bite to eat. Thanks Paul!

It's going to take a while to get this new blog spaces "decorated" to my standards as it did in MSN Spaces. I'll just have to be patient with myself as I learn all the new tricks that Bloggers has to offer. I'll do this by trial & error and help from my friends who have their own blogs looking so dapper!  One problem maybe someone can help....I wrote my blog in Microsoft Works then copy/paste. Now I can't change the margins to fit, I find it frustrating :(

Hugs, Faye

"Toto...I don't think we're in Kansas anymore."

Well it may not be MSN Spaces. It's not WordPress...didn't like it there and only a couple of my friends found me. I hope this is my new "home". Thanks to Herman who lead to Bloggers. It's taken a couple day to set up my new "home", lots more needs to be done to really feel homey here but that will come over time. 

First I want to welcome all my blogging friends old and new. Grab a chair and settle in for a cup. We all have lots of catching up to do! It's been a year since my last blog on Spaces. Other than those I meet on facebook I don't know much of what 's happening in blog land. It was very heart breaking when I found out about Curtis' passing. The night before his death, he sent me an e-mail wishing me a happy birthday the next day. I wish he were still around many will miss his stories and encouraging comments. :(

Well I don't know if you know of a computer addition going around. It seems to be most prevalent among middle aged women. Many of my friends from blogland have it...it's called "Farmville". Even Dr. Phil confronted a women. on his program: "In a recent show, he tackled a terrible affliction currently gripping the nation in its hay-covered grasp, the Facebook application FarmVille. Dr. Phil asked his guest, a mother named Teresa, the hard-hitting questions on her battle with growing crops and raising chickens.

"Are you worried about your crops as you sit here?" he said.

"Before I came here, I made sure that none of the crops were going to die," Teresa replied.

"There aren't really any crops," Dr. Phil informed her. "That's just a little image on a screen. They're not going to die."

Well that's what happened to me last February when I took a mid winter vacation...even when I am working I'll spend 2 hours a day on it. I am so addicted to Farmville but I want a life! 

My Farmville

Well I missed blogging and blog walking so much. I love you guys (blush). I have other new/stories from the past year. These will have to wait for another day. They include to engagements, death of a beloved dog, and adoption of a new puppy. To be continued ....

Hugs, Faye
