what would you do with two million dollars?

What I would do with two million dollars?

I would love to have two million dollars- first I would just look at them (all two million) cuz I have never seen that kind of money. Then I would take it up to the people who are selling the 300 areas of land on the mountain that we love- and give it to them so we could open a B & B-  add hookup to the rv park that is there- blaze a few hiking trails- open a quilting barn and have all my family close by helping “run the place.” With that much land Jim could mow the grass all day every day. He would be in heaven! But I do not have two million dollars so someone that does will buy the place and I just really really hope they do not cut down all the trees to put up “resort condos”- that would be sad.

I think tomorrow I will put the finishing touches on the quilt that I have been working on. I have the day off, so it will be a good time to catch up on laundry and sewing.

Today I miss my son. I miss how he  always makes me laugh and how fun he is to be around. I hope he will come home to visit sometime. Hope he is eating his vegies. (that would be a first!)

And oh yah- I am sorry I spit on you today John, but thanks for saving my life. LOL

Also, if any of you are wondering- I still have the cutest grandbaby in all the world!

Haven’t been feelin bloggy.

Friday, August 21st, 2009

I haven’t been feelin much like writing these past few weeks. I have been really busy getting used to my new job and not really paying much attention to my blog. Oh ya, good news- I got a new job. I had a job- but my hours were so cut back so I thought I should look around. I found a retail job that I am enjoying. I started just a few weeks ago as a sales associate and have been asked to take the position of assistant manager. I am training for that to see if it is something I want to do.  It keeps me busy-

What else is new? Well- I have FINALLY decided to admit that I can no longer eat ice cream. Sad as that is. I went to dinner tonight with my sweetie pie and had a wee little ice cream for dessert and by the time I got home I was feeling sick. I have been in my room for a couple of hours trying to get rid of the the feeling that I am sick. I know I could take those pills before I eat the IC but I just don’t want to NEED them. Sorta like I would rather push my glasses up on my forehead instead of admit I NEED bifocals. Getting old bites.

I got another issue of my quilting magazine today in the mail. I am not a reading magazine person by nature- but I do love when my quilting magazine comes and I go to my room and read it from cover to cover. I so wish I could afford to buy a long arm and do my own machine quilting. I would hate to put so much money into something and then not know how to use it! Wouldn’t it be great to have one and “rent” the use of it! I could set up my sewing room as a place for people to come and use the machine themselves but pay me for using the machine. Hummmmmmm wonder if that would somehow make getting one worth it??? I wouldn’t even want to make money just pay for the machine. Now I am just thinking with my fingers again.

I like SYFY- Random thought- but the SYFI channel used to be the SCIFI channel- and I like the change. I didn’t at first because I wondered if people would forget that it stands for science fiction- but how could you???? 

Maybe I am more tired than I thought. I think this blog will come to an end. Gonna go suffer from the dessert disease.

LUCKY vs BLESSED

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

Today has been just a regular day- but since it hasn’t rained I feel I need to celebrate! It is also my daughter and son-in-law’s second anniversary. Happy anniversary guys! I was thinking back to my second anninversary- I will have to do some math here- married in 81 that puts the second anniversary in 83 that would mean I had Erin and she was 2 months old- so Jim would have still been deployed- so I guess I had sleepless nights and no hubbie home.  No wonder why I don’t have many “anniversary memories”.  Thinking about our young married life is so weird now. We had NO money Jim was gone all the time. My life was waiting for him to come home or waiting for him to leave. I don’t even really remember the day in and day out stuff- taking care of the kids and the house. It all just became so automatic. Things I would have done differently? I would have tried to figure out that Jim hated to go away as much as I hated for him to go. I thought I was the only horribly sad one.  I should have enjoyed the time we did have together more and not worry so much about when he wasn’t going to be there.  The thing that I have learned most from Jim  is that we need to just always be nice to each other. He goes out of his way to do something for me everyday. Not just something easy- but something that makes life for me easier. He is such a good man. I am lucky.   blessed!
