Day 2 - Where You'd Like to be in Ten Years

HOLY CRAP - people who made this challenge, do you know I am pretty much elderly?? I will be lucky to be unburied (also known as - NOT DEAD)!!! Just kidding - my number one thing of my list of where I'd like to be is definitely alive, well, healthy, happy and mobile. And,, along with that, I obviously want my family - my husband, my kids, my grandkids and all the rest - to be alive, well, healthy, happy and mobile, also!!

I want to be out of debt or at least pretty dang close to being so.
I want to be retired from my current job - I know that means I would have to be working somewhere else until social security age, but - I feel ten more years would be WAAAY too much.
I would want that job that I am working at to be in the travel industry - preferably in the airline business.
That way - I could visit many more places, far and near - - I would love to have those flight benefits again where I could go places, see people and do many more things!!!
I want to be an active grandma - and the apple of my grandkids eyes!! I want them to think I am the coolest grandma ever - - even though they will be 21, 17, 14, 13 and 13!!! I want to be the person they wanna hang out with!!
I want to see what they are growing into - the very best thing in my life has been watching my kids turn into the adults they are. And they are amazing - I want to see what my grandkids are in ten years. I expect all of them to be amazing, too!!! Though they will still be children, it will be amazing to know what they are like in that ten years.
Lastly, but not leastly, I want to be THINNER and in much better SHAPE!!
AND - if possible - and if there is any way in the world - I would love the be a LOTTERY WINNER!! HAHAHAHAHA!!! It doesn't have to be like the $300 million kind - I would be happy with the little $10 million one.

I know, it's a pretty benign list and pretty boring - but, it's who I am and what I want to see happen in my life.

Happy Birthday Me!!

I turned 49 a year ago tomorrow. I was all right with that. I didn't really care. But, about a couple of months after that, I realized that in less than a year I would be 50. When my daughter turned 30, it really was a horrible feeling. How could I have a 30-year-old daughter?? I am not old enough to have a 30-year-old daughter. I also had to deal with my baby boy getting married last year - which made me feel like I really was getting older. I think it was after Crystal's birthday that I devised a plan. I was going to take a couple of days off, I was going to get a hotel room - a hotel with a pool - and I was just going to hide out and ride it out. I had it all figured out. Well, I decided that my kids might be a bit upset with me that I did this. So, I went back to Plan B - I would do my usual and plan a "kids" birthday for me so that the entire family, including Zach and Chelsea, could have a good time. I thought of going to Planet Play and setti

The Haunting

It's been a weird few days. I don't know what set me off. But, I've been thinking about Ted a lot. Mostly, I've been thinking about the night he died. And everything that happened that night. One of the girls I worked with lost her husband suddenly a couple of days ago. I'm not sure if that's what set me off - no, I'm pretty sure it is. So I've been going through old blog posts about our trips together. Looking at memories of our times together. We just had fun together and we just loved each other. Anyway, I've been reliving the night he died. Thinking about it pretty consistently. And the things that happened are truly haunting me. Like, how did he get where he was?? He and I had been sitting together and had literally just had an interaction. The interaction was, please sit back, you're blocking my view of the movie. And it was all done in hand gestures. But it was just so Ted. Completely and totally so Ted. Not even a few

First Date - - End of an Era!

It's no secret that Ted and I met on the internet. We jibbered and jabbered via Match.Com a few times and then he sent me his phone number. We won't go into details about what made me give him a call, other than I was in need of a boost. I gave him a call and he was "busy" for a bit working on his carbuerator (yes, I was shunned aside for a carbuerator) and he asked if he could call me back later. Well, he did call me later that night and we made arrangements to meet at Denny's on 3500 South and 2200 West the next afternoon. No, it wasn't a four-star restaurant, but it was a way for either of us to run or make excuses if things were not going well. We sat there for a few hours; I drank Diet Coke and Ted drank Iced Tea. We talked, mostly Ted talked, about stuff I had absolutely no clue about; I tease him a lot about everything he says pretty much floats above my head, because I have no idea what he is talking about. That was October 10, 2004. After a w
