It is Saturday and my day off and what do I do, I wake up at 530 in the morning..ugh. I am sorry I havnt kept up with you again, but alot of drama and goings on in my life have kept me from my computer. My father right now is in the hospital after collpasing and they are running a battery of tests on him. They started out saying that it looks like it might be lung cancer (I hate it when they say what it could be before they know) and still havnt ruled that out. They cant do the test that puts a tube down his throat and into his lungs to get a sample until he has been off of his plavix for a week. So in the meantime they are running a whole bunch of other tests too. His blood oxygen level was down to 71 which I assume is really bad which is why he collapsed. He has had pnumonia for the last 3 months and it hadnt cleared up. He also has emphezema. He is 75 years old and so fragile now after loosing alot of weight with the pnumonia. Him and my mother are under a lot of stress right now with other things going on and I would just ask that you pray for them both but especially for my father.
I have been doing pretty good on my diet so far even though I havnt posted my meals like I said I would. I have lost 4 pounds by just cutting out all the junk again. I am happy about that. I went out and bought a big assortment of fruits and veggies and instead of eating the junk food, I have been really good about eating them.
I am going to be starting a new page called a womans daily journal, which I found while surfing, but I need some time to get it up and running. I think it will be very refreshing. more to come on that.
Well, I am going to go see what the news and weather is for the day, you all stay healthy and warm!
Big hugs, Grammy Laurie

Ok you crazy bloggers, I am here again to visit a bit. I am trying so hard to stay connected with my journal this year. It is a great way to let off some steam or reflect on the day…I just don’t seem to be able to stay focused on one thing for very long…I get distracted with a phone call or someone coming in to check in to the hotel then forget to come back and post. I am going to try alot harder this year to focus on certain tasks like this that I have put on the back burner. I go through reading others journals and come across some very beautiful writers…poignant and thoughtful and wonder why I can’t write like they do. I guess it is a gift given them by God. I am still wondering what my gift or talent is. I am not a writer obviously, or a singer…(hubby will attest to that even tho I sing and hum anyways…lol) and I am not a poet or a linguist or a dancer or a scholar…what is it I wonder…that special thing about me that others might find appealling…it eludes me….maybe one day it will pop out of me like a flower hidden beneath the snow. I would love to be able to say that I have done this or done that and it was a blessing to someone. Well, at any rate, it is almost 10 pm and I have spent my evening at work reading others journals and trying to make a signature for my emails, which I did end up completing. I am off to watch 20/20 on abc…you all have a very good night!
big hugs, Grammy Laurie

Hello! I am so glad to see the new year! I have waited a long time for it to get here..lol…365 days to be exact!
I am hoping and praying that this year is so much better than last year and that we have a great year! I pray your year is full of blessings and great joy and prosperity!
I have had to work the last two nights but it is time and a half, so I dont mind especially with as bad as things are right now, I am thankful for my job. I spent most of the day before I came in to work lounging around in my pj’s and watching tv and chatting with my sister on the internet. I love that. Not enough pj days if you ask me. Well, as it is almost time to go I will talk with you again tomorrow..good night friend.
