I'm not tryng to out do myself here by writing a lot. But that's what JU does to you. You want to share every little detail of what's going on in your life! Funny enough I had to share this. I googled myself and it's really interesting to see how many people with my name is out there. I have a popular name, spelt a little differently but popular because it's an actress' name. I've heard all the jokes. There are over 310 pages of information on my name, 213, 000 findings - WoW, and...

I just returned from the dentist's office. What a collosol waste of time! If there was ever a profession that need overhauling, this would be it! I went in the hope of getting my tooth taken care of. As you know, I have a tooth ache from a loss filling and it's been giving me hell. Anyhows, I was so happy my dentist (this is actually my first time seeing him too) could see me today. I was early for the appointment, at least I got there 10mins early. Waited for 15-20mins then was calle...

I've been thinking about this for a couple of days now. Simply because I've heard several people comment on what's going on in our world right now. War, terrorism, hunger, the weather. Is it a sign of the times? Most of what is going on in today's world have been talked about before, some people may say Nostradamus, others will say the Bible. I say a bit of both. Although I think more like the bible prophecies are coming through. Then my husband asked me a couple of days ago if I...

I'm here nursing my toothache. My emergency call to the dentist went unanswered -but that's another story. Maybe my toothache has gone to my head or maybe it's waiting on this hurricane to pass, but I've been thinking, you know what? I need a makeover. Hey, there's so many reality shows out there, making over people's lives, for the better, why not mine. Why shouldn't I get a second chance at doing things over? Except my makeover would have to be a radical one, not just physical but in...

My tooth is acting up again. I limped home yesterday evening, took two pain killers and flopped into bed yelling at the kids, please don't bother me tonight I'm on the injury list. My husband called from work a couple of times (he's on the night shift), trying to lend support giving me his remedies and telling me what I need to do. All I want is to be left alone - dammit! I told him quite nicely, I'm just going to lay down for a while. The pain woke me up again at 4am so now i'm going t...

I'm in one of those moods where I just don't want to see or talk to anyone. Where I just want to go bed, wrap with the covers from head to toe and sleep, until I get tired of sleeping. Unfortunately, I don't have that luxury. My kids won't let me, neither will my better half. When I'm like this I try to stay away from everyone but unfortunately, people always come and seek me out and they don't take a hint and notice that I'm just not in the mood for silly chit-chat or anything else. Like...

I've been debating whether I should write this because noone else but me (and my closest friends and relatives) cares about my life and what happens in my world anyway. But writing does help I find. It's been a very difficult two weeks for me and my family. I just lost my mother. She was sick and I know that she has gone on to a better place. A place where there's no pain, no more worries. She can travel anywhere she wants now. It's the coping that gets hard at times. There are mome...

I'm awaiting the arrival of my friend who will be here in another week. One more week - I can't believe it's almost time. I'm happy, yet very anxious, and so is she. It's funny that we're both feeling the same way. We had this conversation, on the IM recently where we talked about what it would be like when we see each other, would we recognize each other? Then we both started talking about what we look like now from what we looked like when we were younger. We had a lot of fun when...

How important is it for you to have a great life? Is it really necessary to have the financial capabilities for you to have a great life? I bet it is pretty important. How on earth do you have freedom to do anything at all if you don't have the money to take care of it? You have to be able to pay your way in this life, no question about it. If you can't do that then forget it, you're stuck! Your electricity gets turned off, and then the telephone, the gas, you get evicted or foreclose...

My mom is visiting and spending some time with us. I'm trying to make sure she's comfortable in our home and that she's fine. I've noticed recently that she doesn't seem to be eating and I keep asking her "mom did you eat today, what did you eat?" as if she's the child and I'm her mom. I know she's getting tired of me asking so I decided to leave her alone on that topic. I tell my eldest to make sure that grandma eats breakfast and lunch. But of course you can't force her to eat. I buy ...

Have you ever wonder if the things you experience in your life happens only to you? It feels so all the time. Yes, I know there are people out there who are going through so much more than I am right now. Much deeper stuff that is life threatening and so much more painful because it is happening to them. However, this is my life and is important to me. There are things that are so difficult to handle at times. You present yourself to the world in the calm manner because you have to do t...
