What a blogger I am.

Oh what a blogger I am, I am.
From tales of my family to tails of my dogs...
Oh what a blogger I am.

It looks like it's been a month and a half...same song 45th verse.

Still to cold to make beads...unless, of course, if I have something else already planned...then the sun comes out!

I'm going to have to back off on my Face Book addiction...although it's hard, as I just got my youngest grand daughter hooked on it, and it's fun to send her stuff.

Not only do I spend more time than I'd like on Face Book, due to some injury or another I've done to myself, (pinched nerve in my neck) being on the computer causes my right arm to hurt, and my two outside fingers on my right hand to go numb...well, they're pretty much numb all the time, but being on the computer makes them swell...This is not a good thing if I expect to return to bead making when the warmer weather gets here...IF it gets here! = )

So where am I...on the computer, of course.

I tried to make myself go to bed early, as Daylight Savings Time goes into effect tonight. It was earlier until I set the clock forward...then it was later. I'm on prednizone for the swelling in my spine, so guess who is fully energized here at 2:40 am...actually my computer still says 1:40, but I know full well what it's going to say in about 20 minutes...3:00!

So anyway, as I lay there fully awake, I got to thinking about the left overs in the frig from the night before and...well here I am.

Had a great time with my daughter, her husband, their daughter and her husband last night. I had them over for dinner. Fixed chicken and rice casserole, corn, broccoli, garden salad, and french bread. For dessert we had angel food cake with fresh strawberries and ice cream on top.

My daughter is one of my biggest fans...she loves my cooking as well as my beads.

I heard from the grand daughter who was hired by the oil company...they couldn't get her visa into Australia...they say that's a problem sometimes...so they're sending her to Malaysia. She's still happy...she's my adventuress. The job comes with a co-efficient rating...working in the US mainland is a 1 out of 7. Working in Malaysia is a 1.4 out of 7. Her friend who was selected to go to Equatorial Guinea off the coast of Africa, where the co-efficient rating is 4.7, and she is assigned a body guard. Yes, I truly am thankful she is not going there. (what turns grandmothers gray!)

This evening our family cooked dinner for the Ronald McDonald house. We could cook it there, but it's a lot easier to cook it at home where you have everything you need and just haul it down there. One of the couples have been there for three months now. They had a full house this evening, with three families being sent over to the Woodward, a bed and breakfast they use for overflow. It makes one really thankful for the healthy babies in our family.

Speaking of babies!!! My oldest grand daughter and her husband are going to make me a great grandma for the first time in September! WhooHooo!

OK...I just looked at the clock on my computer...it is now officially Daylight Savings Time 3:05.
I must get to sleep, as we do the early service on Sunday mornings.
