Top 10 - Why I'm the Luckiest Wife

I was thinking today how lucky I am to have Ted in my life. Here are my top ten reasons why I am so danged lucky. He's pretty awesome.

When I have a virus in my computer, he stops everything to fix it and make it better.
When I get dressed and ready to go, he'll say, "well hello gorgeous".
He loves to touch, caress, hug and kiss me.
On the days I work, I work double shifts. I work early morning, come home to eat and take a nap, then work a night shift. When I get home, my bed is turned down so I can climb in and go to sleep for about an 60-90 minutes. Plus the remote is on the pillow, so I can turn the tv on before I fall asleep.
He makes me breakfast every Saturday morning.
He wishes me a "happy monthaversary" every twelfth day of the month - for the day we got married. Plus he adds up the number of months.
He just likes hanging out with me. Whether we are sitting on the couch, driving about town, yard sale-ing, or travelling. He just likes being with me.
When I make dinner, whether it's hot dogs and mac and cheese or a full delicious, hours-to-make meal, he always says, "thanks babe, that was really good".
He gives me my independence. I don't live under his thumb. I don't have to worry that he is going to judge me for my decisions and he supports me 100%.
He is just amazing and fun and adorable and kind. He loves to be loved. He loves his daughters and his grandchildren totally and completely. He has accepted my kids and grandchildren as his own (and sometimes, I think they are more like him than they are like me). He is just the perfect fit for me.

Thanks for choosing me Mr. Conrad.

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

365 Days - The Story of a Year

This last year has been the hardest one of my life. And I've had a lot of hard years in my lifetime. But this year involved the health of me and I'm being a little selfish about thinking about just me. But it was hard. But, I survived it. And now I'm learning to THRIVE. A little history. For the last four years, I have been dealing with knee pain. Most of it was in my right knee. For the first couple of years, I would get a cortisone shot and I was good. Usually last for at least a year. Then the cortisone wasn't working anymore. I had the rooster comb injections. They didn't work. So, after that, my doctor told me that I was bone on bone and needed a knee replacement. But for that four years, she kept saying - you're too fat, no surgeon will touch you at your weight. You have got to lose weight. That is always easier said than done. She always made me feel like I was failing at taking care of myself. For the last two years, I have been worki
