Well today is another special ocassion  for a couple of people out here. There are 2 b-day's instead of one.  I  want to wish Blair   (also a member of my family )  and   Captain  (who is a real good friend ) a Happy Birthday. So when  any of you get the chance, drop by and give them some b-day wishes.   

I wanted to do more, but with the holidays just getting over, I just didn't get the chance. Hope everyone has a wonderful week. Take care all.  Hugs.

It's hard to believe that it is already the year 2006. Where does the time go.? To be honest, I was more than happy to see 2005 go. But however , in that year, I did learn a few things. I learned that some things/people are not worth getting yourself worked up about. No matter  how  near for far they may be. They are just a waste of time and space and  in the end, they will get theirs.

I have also realized that no matter how bad things seem, things will always work out in the end if you  have people around that care about you. I think 2006 is going to turn out to be a pretty good year.

I haven't made any New Years resolutions this year, because they never seem to stick. But I have made some decisions. Terry and I will be making a lot of plans for this year.

New Year's here was fairly quiet. At least at my house. But in other parts of my area, there have been a few shootings. Scary stuff.  I only live in a small town. But ever since the holidays started, I feel like I am living in a big city. People just seem to be getting more crazy every day. To put it point blank, it is not even safe to keep your door unlocked in the daytime here anymore.

It's pretty well all the drugs that are going around. This is what is causing most of the problems. The sad thing is, most of the incidents that happen, the culprits don't get caught for God knows how long.  I worry when Terry is driving to work every day. I even worry, when Jordan is getting out of school. It never used to be that way here. Things have just gotten completely out of hand. Hopefully things will  settle down soon. 

In other matters, I am looking forward to getting my new domain up and running. Now that the holidays are over, maybe I will get more time to work on it. I am still learning my way around the wordpress program.

Jordan starts back to school tomorrow and he is not looking forward to it. Oh well, school will be out for the summer before you know it. Hope everyone's New Years went well. Take care all. Hugs...

Here I am with my last post of 2005.  Before I get into my actual post,

I just want to say the results are in for the "best  blog of 2005 ". 

In my opinion, all of the blogs that were listed are wonderful blogs.

They are on my daily rounds along with many more which I enjoy reading.  The winner of the poll was  "Static Brain ". She won with 38% of the votes. Congrats to "Static   

In 2006,       I will be at my new  Domain. Hopefully it will be early 2006. I will probably have more little contests going on like this one.

I was going to do a year in review type thing, but I am lucky if I can remember what happened from one week to the next sometimes,  so I doubt I can remember an entire year.

All I can say is  2005 was not the greatest year I have ever had.  When Jordan started jr high this year, he ended up having his hand split open which required several stitches from a little accident on the school grounds. I had my name plastered over a blog for about 2 months by a couple of idiotic  morons. I was down awhile with a real bad flu that was going around.  We had several items stolen from our house by a 13 year old kid. However, we did get the items back. But as you  can  see, it hasn't been the best year.  Don't get me wrong. Some good things have happened as well. It's just that the bad, outweighed the good. 

I plan for 2006 to be a lot different.  In any case, I  hope you all have a very Happy and Safe New Year and I will see you all back here in 2006. Lots of love to you all.  Hugggggs.

In my last entry, I mentioned that I was going to  do something a little different on here. That something was to have a poll where you readers and bloggers could vote for your favourite blog of 2005. If you look to the side of my page, under my calender, you will notice that the poll is up and running. There are many great blogs out here, but I have only listed six. I listed blogs that I know have been out here for a very long time. There are some blogs that have only been up for a few months, so I couldn't list those.  There are also a couple of blogs that I would have liked to list, but they are password protected and  not everyone can view them,. I am hoping that a lot of you guys will participate in this poll.   I want you to judge the blogs by their writing, entries, imagination , etc. I don't want anyone to place a vote on a blog just because  the authour is a friend etc. I want it to be fair. I think it could be fun. Since I created the poll, I am not going to vote. It really wouldn't be fair for me to do that.  So with all that said and done, place your votes.

The poll will be up until Saturday. I will be back on Saturday for another post.  Before I go, I am going to leave a little something on here that Rosie requested.  One more thing.  All the blogs listed in the poll, are on my links to the side if you would like to check them out.

Hope you like this gift Rosie. Take care all and now I am off to work on my domain. Hugs.

Well here I am back again .   Christmas is over for yet another year. We had a wonderful Christmas here this year. It was the first year in a very long time that I can remember waking up in the morning with the entire family here.  Everyone enjoyed their gifts which really made me feel good.  Terry and I got Blair   the "Ultimate Fighter " season 1 dvd set which we knew he was hoping for real bad. When we gave it to him, you would think that he just won the lottery. lol  It made me feel good. We along with Jordan gave him a few other gifts as well. Danny also got him a discman. One of the gifts we gave Danny was a gold chain for his neck that we knew he wanted, along with other gifts as well. Blair gave him the  ps2 game (Bulletproof). You will see on Jordan's  blog in his new post the things that he got. Danny and Blair each gave him a video game as well.  I gave Terry   a 10 kt. gold ring, a mini disc player. Jordan gave him a sweater and Jordan and i both gave him a $30.00 restaurant gift certificate.  Danny gave him the Batman Anthology dvd set and Blair gave him a hooded sweatshirt and a $30.00 gift certificate as well. Speaking of Terry, he did a new post a few days ago.

As for me, I recieved some wonderful gifts as well.  Terry got me a 14 kt. gold family ring. Every one of the stones are genuine. It is georgeous. He also got me one of those Furreal pets I was wanting. They are something like Furby's. Danny and Terry split and got me a 3 cd changer Sony stereo.  Blair got me THE OC, SEASON 2  dvd set which I was hoping for.  Jordan gave me pajamas.

If I get the chance, I will post a pic of my ring on here in the near future. Jordan was so happy with everything he got. I love seeing the look on his face when he opens his gifts.

I spent a bit more time this evening working on my domain. It has been quite some time since I have done any work on it.  I paid for this place for another month. The next payment won't be due until the 21st of Jan. So I am hoping to have my domain ready by then.

Well 2006 is fast approaching. I hope it turns out to be a good year. This past year has been anything but good for me Maybe in a few days , I will do the year in review type thing.  I am also going to do something a little different in a day or 2.  This past year, I have visited a lot of blogs.  A lot of them were  great. I am ging to put a poll on here in a day or 2 for you readers to vote on. It will be for the best blog of 2005. Just to do something a little different.

I am going to leave you with a little joke that was on May's    (my net sister ) blog today. I know she won't mind that I borrowed it. She is such a sweet lady. I thought this was  funny.

 Husband and wife had a bitter quarrel on the day of their 40th wedding anniversary!
The husband yells, "When you die, I'm getting you a headstone that reads:
"Here Lies My Wife - Cold As Ever "
"Yeah?" she replies. "When you die, I'm getting you a headstone that reads:
"Here Lies My Husband Stiff At Last"

Take care all. hugs.........
