penpals

When I was 11, the high school made it possible for kids to sign up to have a penpal. I was in jr high at the time, but my sisters in high school put my name on the list. Once it all get set up, I had a penpal from England. One of her first letters she wrote me included post cards of Prince Charles and Lady Diana when they were dating. That was 1980. We exchanged letters for about 7 years. When we both finished high school, we lost touch. I tried finding her on the internet a few years ago, but no luck. It would be really cool to be able to talk to her one day again.

So, I’ve discovered that when I don’t take my regular 3 daily doses of allergy medicine, my headaches come back. I hope I’ve learned my lesson…

Two days ago my middle child turned 18. She thinks she’s found the love of her life. She decided that a year ago. My son assures me that she’ll get over that, eventually. He did. He went through the same thing, only at an earlier age. One thing I am relieved of is that her sperm donor can never lay legal claim to her. Even if he ever tried, I know he wouldn’t have had a leg to stand on because of his 17 year absence from her life. My son starts back to the local junior college next week and my youngest is now in the 8th grade. It all goes by so fast!

French food

So, I’ve always wanted to learn two languages – French and Italian. I have no desire to speak Spanish even though a ton of people around here speak it. Bleah. I bought some software to help me about a year or so ago. I haven’t used it yet. Largely because my hard drive at the time wouldn’t be able to hold the program. But I can now that I have a bigger n better one. Anyway, I now have a desire to learn about French cooking. Especially since I’ve learned of my French lineage and how deep it runs in me. So, I picked a recipe out of my French cookbook and want to first try a dessert šŸ™‚ I decided on Bavarian Creme, but can’t decide if I want it with chocolate or strawberry. Hmmz…i plan on making it tomorrow šŸ˜€ I’ll let ya know how that goes!

paint

I spent my weekend painting my room and then my oldest daughter’s room. It took me six hours to do my room Friday. My oldest daughter had helped, but bailed on me once we got halfway finished 😐 When I got home Saturday evening, she had already started painting her room. So I helped her with that. Her room is a tad smaller than mine, so it took about 5 hours to paint hers. Now I have my youngest daughter’s room to paint. I’ll be glad when we’re done!

cat litter

My mom bought me a bag of corn cat litter a couple of weeks ago. I have some nasty allergy attacks sometimes. I gave it a try because it had to be better than the regular cat litter that puts out so much dust. I bought me another bag of it last night. It’s odorless and clumps. I absolutely love it and the cats seem to like it too. Plus it’s better on my allergies šŸ™‚

kids and dating

My oldest daughter has datedĀ her boyfriend for a year. He’s ok, I guess. His mom, a total psycho. I’ve had run-ins with her more than once. The latest one is that I had to kick her off my property a couple of months ago. She’s an out of work registered nurse who drinks too much and is strung out on prescription drugs. Her two kids are now living with her ex-husband and she’s living with her alcoholic out of work boyfriend. As for her son, I liked him at first. But over the past few months I’ve noticedĀ what type of person he really is. Whiney, selfish, takes my daughter for granted, lets her be the strong one in the relationship. My dad says he’s a wimpĀ and I think that’s the perfect description. I grow tired each week seeing how he treats my daughter. Last week I had enough and sat her down. I explained to her what I’ve noticed, I didn’t want her to think something was wrong with her or that this is the way it’s supposed to be. She told me she’s noticed theseĀ things as well. I’m ready for him to hit the road, but that’s her call. Its jsutĀ hard sitting back and watching your child endure unnecessary dookie do from some idiot.
