Andy and I had a beautiful day together today. I think it was something we needed but I didnt realize it. We left the house this am with Jack and just decided to go antique hunting. We spent the day together and went to Goode Olde things. It is an architecture, and salvage facility. There is one in LA, Chicago, and I believe the main warehouse is here in Scranton PA. Well if anyone adores architecture and History and design and sculpture, as much as I do it was truly a memorable trip. Problem only one is it is freezing here so the warehouse is just as cold. We walked three football fields lengths filled with marble, iron, chairs, desks, fireplace mantles, mirrors, all salvage from buildings being torn down or redesigned. Huge mantles from asbury park homes of the early 1900's. The most inspiring things I saw were stained glass windows. At leat 100 yards of windows from churches synagogues banks, courthouses, homes, banks. beautiful. I found one that I loved but it was sold. Made in Argentina bronze, golds, berry, red, brown, colors. We left there and went for a lovely lunch and chatted about our finds, we didnt buy anything but we had alot to talk about. We then went to antique shops and dreamed abit more. Visited Andy's sister whom I love and then headed home. We stopped at Barnes and Nobles and got a few books and we are now home. The girls are out together skating and for dinner with their friends Jack is in the playpen after his long day with Mom and Dad and Andy just went out to pick us up a pizza. (Antonio's the best)
I am happy today. Not just for the things but the feelings I have for this man I am so lucky to call my husband. I am grateful for my healthy beautiful kids and I am feeling good lately. A few pounds down and a new pink winter coat can do wonders for a woman. (Pink coat wool double breasted, pea coat knee length love lurve lurve it)
I found this quote and I hope to give it its due justice by putting it here, If anyone does read this please leave a comment.

To Laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation if honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch,... to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!

I dont know scripture but my God is all about Love

I don't know you, but how can you know God if you do not seek Him? and how can you call Him 'my' God? Is God only some personal experience? Is God evolving and not eternal? Is God ok with sending people to hell? and why?

Isn't what you are thinking now, like making up your own little god? Do you have an idea what Christ did and why?

Please seek God, and cut the 'self serve style god'..ok? The Holy Bible is your first step, and a local chruch.

Ponder this: If God is all about love, what is God's defintion of 'love'? and where do you fit in?

Peace! and may God's hand touch you through His word, not mine.

  It has been 75 days. When I went to bed at night I would cry, every night.  My Mom would begin the process of "bedtime" at least 30 minutes before I actually had to go to my room.  She would give me the countdown. "Next commercial break"  "Ten more minutes"  "Go get your last drink of water" Some nights she would begin to doze and I would squeeze another 10 minutes until the dreaded bed time. Then began the process.  We would go to my room, which was only 12 feet from the living room in all actuality, but it was miles in my little girl heart.  Mom would pull down the covers, tuck me in, give me all of my comfort things and then I would cry.  The more she tried to make me comfortable with the thought of sleeping, alone, the harder I would cry.  If she would just say go to bed, it would have been easier. We would say my prayers together, Our Father, Hail Mary and then all of the God Bless's. The God Blesses were my definite way to get her to ...

 When I was in High School my best friend was Amy.  I don't remember how we met or where, but somehow we just clicked.  I believe it was probably on the patio where in the 1980's you could go outside and smoke cigarettes with your friends on free mods or breaks.  Yep those were the days.   We were in 10th grade which made us 15.  I smoked Parliament light 100's  with the recessed filters (IYKYK) and she smoked Benson and Hedges.  She was a cheerleader that was so far from the "cheerleader" type it would crack us up.  We wrote notes in those days, scraps of paper that we would purge our daily trials onto, fold in some triangular football shape and pass to one another in the hall.  We could fill a note throughout the day and then I would throw it into a box for the ages to find someday.  We were able to talk endlessly about music, people, boyfriends, animals, school, college, parents, divorce, siblings, hours of chat.  We al...

 Lets talk about graduation parties!  Should I order the chicken scampi or marsala for the chicken dish?  Cakes and cupcakes or cookies?  DJ or photo booth or both? So we decorate the cake with Wyoming Seminary as a graduate or Penn State as his college destination? No, we wont talk about that.  You know, the "drophimoffandleavehimtherepart" or the "Ihaveabsolutelynopurposewithouthiminmydailygrind" lets not forget "Whenyoufoughttoliveforthisboyandnowheisgoingwhylive?" OK OK I'm not going to end my life because Jack is leaving for college, but for christs sake what the fuck is my purpose now?  I am struggling, struggling with so many things right now. I know my struggle on paper is nothing compared to so many other people.  My weight, my hair, my boy, my heart, my future.  I want to just get to the point where I can just take him and drop him off.  Rush through this summer and get it over with, pull off the bandaid quick and start the new chap...
