Horoscope update (Aries 01/04/13)

It reads:  Its strange when you don't get the response you were looking for. It means something is off! If I wait to get the response I want, it could sometimes be a cold day in hell!  You have to remember everyone does not always see and feel the same way you do about something.  It is just the way of the world.  If you believe in something, and think you could make a go of it go for it!  Opinions are good but do not base everything on it and do not feel bad when you do not get the feed back you want!  My opinion, to each their own!

Horoscope update: Aries 1-03-13

It reads There's a challenge before you. Will you do what others expect of you, or will you let yourself do the things you need to do to succeed?  I will have to say both, because what other expect me to do, they are the things that I know I need to do! I will also do what I need to do to succeed in what I feel will be very successful venture! I will not let negative thoughts and doubts creep in and destroy my dreams this time!  Been there and done that!

Horoscope update ( Aries 1/02/13)

It reads and I quote: You feel driven now, but can you keep this up in the months to come? Make a long term plan that includes checkpoints.  My answer to that is your damn straight I am driven, and what a good feeling it is. Can I keep up, you bet your ass I could and the checklist and checkpoints is a great Idea to keep everything rolling and getting it all done!!!   I am beyond ready!!!  LOL

Aries Update: 12/31/12

It reads and I quote: If you feel restricted and can pin it on a certain reason or person, consider yourself lucky. Most people don't realize how they are being limited. This fits me to a tee, I do feel that I just want to spread my wings and fly, and what I am doing in my life is getting old and I want to do other things, knowing the reasons does not mean that you could change your whole life overnight though! I know the reasons that is for sure, but what are my capabilities of doing what I want to do is the questions I need to address first and foremost in my life! Restless, yes that I know, what I need to do about it is the problem I need to solve.

Merry Christmas!

Well guys, it is here, I just love this time of year, some humbugs ask me why and I say because it is the only time of the year when people are united and full of love and kindness for each other! If everyday could be like Christmas time the world would be a better place! I hope all your dreams and wishes come true and you all have a wonderful holiday!

Angels!

I sit here and try to go about my day, I do fine and than waves of saddest overwhelm me time and time again!  I did not know any of the loss souls that perished in the Sandy Hook elementary school, like so many of us but now they are a part of me !  Holidays are around the corner and we all have to go about our business, celebrate, smile, go on as always, that is the way of life, the old saying is life goes on, no ifs and buts about it.  My promise to myself is that each and every time I feel sad, I will remember all the angels smiling down on me, I will feel their hugs and warmth all around me and let them bring light and happiness into my life. I feel, that God would have never taken them away, for no reason at all, I have to believe there is a purpose and a reason. I believe in angels, and it comforts my soul to know that 27 more beautiful angels will be opening their wings and give warmth to my heart and soul. 

To give!

I love being a giver, always have been and always will!  I like to see happiness and joy!  When we were growing up, my mom did her best with giving as much as she could for the holidays to her children and those she loved.  I learned at a young age what it was like not to have what others had.  Looking back on that, I now know it is what made me the type of person I am and I would not want it any other way! I learned by giving in the long run, fulfills your heart a lot more!  Thank you mom for all you have instilled in me, you were the kindest person I have ever known and taught me well!  I love you always and forever!  Till we meet again in the heavens forever and ever!  xxoo

Disrespect vs.Bad temper!

I had a long conversation with a friend , about the difference of a bad temper vs disrespect, my opinion is a bad temper is when you get cut of driving a car and you curse your ass off or have no patience and fit out at an object not a physical human being!  Disrespect is something all together different, that is when you are a person who just uses the excuse of having no patience and is just down out rude, arrogant and just a plain rotten individual.  By the time the conversation was over they agreed more with me than before,  examples helped also, and I have quite a few to talk about!

Overwelmed!

I have been reading on whats happening at the sandy hook school!  How and why is this happening! When you send your child to school, they are suppose to be safe, not murdered by some derange manics with guns!  How dare they do this, how dare they take all those lives! God bless all those lost, and for all the families they left behind in pain and hurting from the gore of their being, in shock from not understanding what was to be just another day, not the end of their life as they knew it!  Just children, how dare those gunman walk the earth and the one who is dead already, I hope hell is burning you right now as I speak and your pain will be everlasting!  I cannot even fathom what its like for all the families, God bless them all, for their lost is great! Amen!

Before and afters!

Hi my friends just wanted to show you all how much will power my men have.  My husband Bob was very overweight but decided to loose it all and that he did, as you can see by the picture on the top.  My son Rob was not overweight but bulked up for football in the picture on the top, when football was over and done with it he decided he wanted to go back to his original weight.  They both did what needed to be done on shear will power, now me on the other hand needed a little bit of help by getting the lap-band procedure. LOL  What can I say no will power for me, but I do not at all have any regrets with the operation!  I love it and feel and look the best I ever have.  I have a before picture which when I get the courage to show all I will, you all will be quite surprise of how being overweight changes how you look.  But I want to say, that no matter what weight you are, always and I mean always be proud of who you are, inner beauty far outweighs outer beauty!

Dylan!

Little Dylan, my great nephew, I love this child so much!

Good night all!

Time to take an Advil  for my back and neck and headache and try to get a good night sleep without waking up 3 to 4 times a night!   Even with not getting good night sleeps, I still love life and if God allows I plan on being around for a while!! 

Memories!

Like the corners of my mine, I just love that song from Barbara Streisand's movie The way we were!
Going through all my photos is making me kinda of mushy right now!  What could I say, I am just a sap for memories and all those I love!

Nothing better than family!

There is nothing in the world like family, in Manhatten NY at Christmas time, last year!

Snow storm!

I love this picture, I find it very calming and quite!  You just know that when your inside your home everything is warm and cozy and safe.

Christina and me!
