Day 2

I found another interesting article regarding Michael Vick and his background. Please read and make up your own mind. The more I read about this guy the more it makes sense to do something, even if it doesn't accomplish the goal of having him truly pay for his crime.

This was a lazy day. We watched the movie Prince of Persia - Sands of Time. Loved it! The special effects, costumes, stunts, music and the story was all wonderful.

We cancelled my cell phone. A couple of days ago Michael ordered me a cheaper phone. I do not need a Blackberry smart phone when all I do is make and receive calls from Michael. This will save about $60.00 per month.

I also updated my resume. I found 3 jobs on Craigs List to send it to. So I did accomplish some things. Tomorrow we may get out and do more, weather permitting.

Day 1 New Years Day 2011

Please read this article and you will know why I am all fired up all over again.

I have decided that one of my resolutions will be to boycott all sponsors that sponsor the Philadelphia Eagles who employ Vick. I want to start a grassroots campaign to get as many people as I can to join me. The only way you can make anyone in business to change is to hit them in their pocketbooks. I will be sending this article and a letter to each sponsor to tell them about my boycott. I want to start a Facebook petition also, but, will need to learn how to do that.

There is no room in our world for an animal abuser-murderer! His crime goes way past dog fighting. He has never admitted the full extent of his crimes and I "will never get over it"!

I will be listing the sponsor's names and contact information as I find them, so, if you choose to join me - the more the better.

TV news: I love the new OWN Network! Lots of great shows. I'm looking forward to watching more. I watched the Peter Walsh show and it was great. Gave me inspiration that I can get this house organized so we can make the move easier.

Took the tree down and packed it all up, so, it is now ready to go to the storage unit once it is not so icy and cold. This morning the temperature was below zero. We had a nice dinner of boneless pork chops, blackeyed peas with jalapenos, green beans and mashed potatoes. It felt like Sunday all day, but, it's only Saturday!! Yay! Michael's vacation is going by too fast.

Day 364 Happy New Year

As you can tell I am off a day. Somewhere during the year I missed a day. Oh well, I will try and do better next year. This is why I need to post eveyday, even if it's just a picture. That way I don't miss one.

This coming year will be full of challenges for me. Hard ones, some to the extreme and some will be new and exciting. I will be looking for some advise and friendly support to make it through them.

Tonight I will be working on my resolutions. I will be listing them on Listology and then seeing how many I have or have not accomplished. Hopefully more than last year.

I signed up for unemployment today. Here in Spokane it is all done online. We also went out in the frigid cold and did our grocery shopping. Very slippy and slidey out on the roads today. We received 2 movies from Netflix. We still have Robin Hood with Russell Crowe to watch from last week. Did some tv watching, mostly shows that were DVR'd. Episodes of Gene Simmons Family Jewels and Full Throttle.

Thank you Vikki and Linda for your comments. You both have become so special to me.

Day 361

Day 360

A very quiet day after Christmas for us. Jerry left for Seattle this morning. Sending out safe driving wishes, especially over the passes. We will miss you Jerry, see you next time you pass through.

Made brunch for us and Chris. After that, absolutely nothing accomplished.

I took a long winter's nap this afternoon. I woke to cold rain outside. A definite determent to going anywhere. Maybe tomorrow I will be more ambitious.

Day 359 Christmas Day

It was a nice quiet Christmas Day. Feeling pretty good today. We made a few decisions of where we are heading these coming few months and feel good about that too.

We got out of the house because the sun was shining and for once not snowing. Dropped off the car payment and then drove out by Green Bluff and found the view to be a winter wonderland. The wheat fields are blanketed with snow and you could see the deer and other critters tracks in the snow. So pretty in the bright sun. We even saw a temperature sign in town that read 50 degrees. But more snow on the way for Monday. So better enjoy it while we can.

Enjoyed talking with Carol and then later DK. I will call Steve and Althea tonight.

I hope everyone had a nice Christmas. I am ready to kick 2010 to the curb and move forward to 2011. It will be a bumpy year for us, but, I think we are strong enough to ride the bumps and land on our feet again.

Day 358

Happy Christmas Eve!!!

We went to the Yuppy Puppy and had the pups groomed. From there we ventured south and bought the Tamales for dinner.

Drove out and looked at two rental places that were advertised. We liked them both. So we will set up appointments to actually take tours. Not done looking, we want to find the perfect place.

Came home from picking up the dogs and had, oh yeah you guessed it, tamales. Took a nice long nap.

It will be a quiet Christmas Eve for us. Nice!

Day 357

Day 356

Day 355 Happy Yule

The sun is returning to us and the days will now grow longer each day. Michael set up the tree for me and I decorated it with all our collected favorite ornaments.

Our garage door broke and they cannot come to fix it until tomorrow. Good thing I had not planned on getting out and going anywhere.

The doctor's office called and cancelled the appointment for tomorrow.

Dora, it is wonderful that you knew what this picture represented. Sending you many blessings for Yule and the year forward.

Day 354

Day 353

Day 352

Had so many errands planned to do this morning, but, it started snowing and sticking earlier than forecasted. So I will need to put them off till when I can drive the 4x4. There are accidents all over town. Michael said roads are very icy. So I can spend the day getting the sport ready for the tree and packing up some stuff.
