I am in the middle of a pissin' contest between some lady friends and it is driving me up a wall!  I am netural in a areas of the issues that stand and I am hurt from both sides.  I was not even anywhere near the event of the "pissin'" and was caught in the loop!  The lady who started the whole mess actually was one of my closer friends.  I am just ( Read more... )

I am  slowly coming out of my self-pity.  I got lots done yesterday and a visit with my Dad really sparked me to keep my spirits up.  I have had a great day so far.  Tomorrow is the 4th of course and I am looking forward to seeing the fireworks with my kids.  I think that I am going to be okay.  It's amazing what a visit with my Dad can do.  Let's ( Read more... )

 Yes, Gretta with 2 t's.  My Caddy "Rocket" literally died on Saturday and I had no choice but to get "Gretta".  She is a (distance)blue/(close) green '07 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT. Never thought I would do it, but it has been fun to drive and I like it alot.  I liked another one that had leather and fully loaded, but it was 1.5 K too much to handle ( Read more... )
