new "do" day

Got me a new hairdo!  Do a lttle dance.. Get the picture?  Now I'm ready to hit the night life...gonna have to do that tomorrow!  Already spent energy at trivia.  Can't do too much in one night! HA!  Iced coffee can only do so much for brain power and the legs would need a little booster fuel. So...have to relax in my house, play with romeo.  That dancer's making me sleepy!  I had a great day! 

Positively redirected

Whew!  Yesterday I experienced sadness and gloom despite the beautful sunny day!  That ugly black cloud  went on its merry way luckily.  My friends and family gathered around me and helped regain my strength.  Whew!  Somehow I had the energy to run and sweat out the nasty toxins festering in my pores!  The cleansing of the soul led to a good night's sleep and a positve will to meet life's challenges with a big smile!  This is good! 

a day for biking

What a beautiful fall feeling day!  Threw the bike on the rack and off I went to the trail!  There weren't any deterents..have 2  inflated tires!  Got the new pants on...ready to handle the bumps!  There was a great breeze goin..the sweat dried faster and kept me cooler!  How does one smoke a pipe and ride a bike?  why?????  Guess everyone enjoys the outdoors there own way!  I prefer smelling mother nature's odors.  Just when the pipe scent left, the horses walked by and left their own  smells and a few fresh piles of dodo!  What would be nicer than having dodo on the tires and having to put the bike back on the rack with that stuff all over them!  I'm trying to be happy!  I bet some one's foot gets into that!  Ha!  Guess the horses have to have somewhere to walk,too?  I had a great ride!

Retirement celebration!

What is retirement?  A time for growing older and wiser?  A time to finally come to terms with who we are and finally enjoying being there?  A passage ..perhaps a journey...?  We don't know our destinies.  But we can surely try to have fun along the way!  At least looking at the bright side helps give us courage. Being with friends and those we share our lives with can brighten the path.  We celebrated  a retirement today for a coworker.  It felt a little like the divine sisterhood!  We have shared many hours together as coworkers, some frustrating, some sad,  all working for the same causes..patient satisfacton and income!  There were always happy moments along the way.   We had holiday parties and employee banquits. But the most memorable times were job oriented- as friends- sometimes being silly and sometimes just being supportive.  What I'm trying to get at is..no matter what we do or where we go...friends guide us down the road.  Congratulations on being retired Marian!!!

rails and trails rider

I finally made it to Cornwall to take on the trail.  It was a  hard ride getting there! While getting my bike out of the garage I noticed the rear tire totally FLAT!  That was not a good thing!  So...I threw it on the bike rack ( I wish) ! Why is it so hard for me to lift the bike onto the rack?  Am I that weak? Anyhow, after a few choice cuss words the bike was on the rack and I drove out to the schwin repair in Cleona.  Of course, I had to drop it off and pick it up in a couple hours.  BUT I WANT IT NOW!  Ok Deb, calm down.  Off to Petsmart for Romeo. I picked up some food, gravel ..things you must have for cats.. and a few new toys....my mania was taking control! I needed to ride!  Then off to Walmart for people needs.  I sped home to unload everything and ate some lunch then my cell rang! Yai!  Back out to Cleona for the bike with the new tire! And I bought a pair of those swanky padded bike shorts.  I thought I deserved a treat for this running around.  Ahhhh...finally got my tosh onto the bike and pedaled into Lebanon!  I went up to Gretna then back into Lebanon. My seat was very appreciative of the new pants! It was a great ride! Well worth the running and waiting.  This was a happy day for me and my kittie.  He liked his new toys and is sitting on the window perch seat I bought him so he can keep me company while I'm on the computer!  What a guy!  I'm smiling!

Pier 1 fun!

Shazam! I was entrenched with colors! NO ONE can say there is a lack of artistic flavor in this store! When you're feeling sad and lonely you should always go..to Pier 1..maybe Petula Clark needed to shop here! Ha! Maybe there weren't any around at that time!!!! Woolworth's or Greene"s were more the chic then! Anyhow...I found what I was looking for, and didn't spend a fortune! I was happy! You can't only go there once..since I opened an account! I can't wait to get more color in my life!

Sweaty times are here again!

I find it really hard to stay positve when water is streaming down my face trying to vacuum the Jetta so I can drive comfortably without having an allergy attack from all the flying dust particles on my seat and dashbord! wheh! That was a long sentence! I'm not the grammar champ as you can see? Does it matter? This is my happy page and I can write however I want! I cannot sweat all the little things in life! I will totally dehydrate! My car is clean and this makes me happy!
