No really……do I look confused?

See here’s the thing, I would really like to make a list of my favourite bloggers, I don’t have a long list at the moment though, as most of them have quit blogging.  Not that I’m complaining as I’ve been a very naughty blogger myself!  Here’s the problem, this whole place confuses me.  I mean, I was so used to the other place, is this one really that user “unfriendly”, or am I just to old to attempt to wrap my brain around WordPress.  Anyway, if anyone sees this post, and can help me figure out how to make a list on my page, I would be forever in your debt!

 

Thank you and have a nice day!!!!

 

Oh and p.s., are there emoticons in this joint?  ~ugh~

Am I here yet?

Well let’s see if this works.  It looks like I successfully moved everything over.  I also saved my blog on my computer before they could lose all those entries on me!  I had set up a BlogSpot way back, but only got around to making a couple of posts, not sure I’m going to like this yet.  But if I don’t, I’ll just start using my BlogSpot.  I should have time, I mean afterall, my nest is pretty empty these days! 

Seeing how trying to figure out how to move everything has pooped me out, I’ll sign off for now.  Wish me luck!

Uhm……….how do I publish?  Oi!

Warm wishes……….

Merry Christmas to all of you, from all of us.  Here’s a little snippet from one of my favourites, I love the way his heart grows, always makes me misty!

 

 

 And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons.  It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled ’till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more. ~Dr. Seuss

 

Grow up already!!!!!!!!!

You know I get that some of us want to stay young forever.  Let’s face it, no one wants to grow old.  But just because a good song comes on the radio as you’re driving down the road doesn’t give you the right to crank up the tunes, press down on the gas pedal, open the sunroof, stick your arms out the roof, all the while steering with your knee, singing at the top of your lungs!  Some people’s kids…………….I am so totally disappointed somedays but then again I guess I was just………

 

 

~Born to be wild…………..~  (hehehe )

Ugh…….

Something’s not workin’ for me?  I’m in a funk…………I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place.  I’ve been working my ass off trying to work some of my ass off and it just ain’t happenin’.  I don’t always wanna be the person everyone else wants me to be.  I dont’ always wanna be sunshine and rainbows…………I’m not really that person………but I’ve always had the knack for fakin’ things just to keep everyone else happy yanno?

 

My baby graduates high school in under two months………….my manchild is still stuck between a man and a child……I have a HUGH ASS birthday coming up this summer…………and my body feels like it’s on the downward slide.  I keep thinking, if I eat right, get more sleep, exercise, I’ll magically feel like a new woman ………..that just ain’t happenin’.  How come things never happen the way we want them to? 

 

And I want somewhere to write how I’m feeling without worrying about worrying anyone you know?  I just wanna be me (no I’m not singing!)  I don’t need anyone worrying about me, when for the most part I’m tickity-boo………it’s okay to be in a funk now and then, my world is NOT coming to an end if I’m in a funk. 

 

We have a stag/stagette to go to tomorrow night, and I just might dance some of my ass off…………although I’m sure my feet will be screamin’ at me on Sunday……….frankly dear…………I don’t give a damn!

 

Night!

I can be your long lost pal……….

I am totally old enough to remember the magic of Simon and Garfunkel………..

 

When you’re weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all

 

Back in the day when you were feeling a tad naughty, this one was always fun………

 

Making love in the afternoon with cecilia
Up in my bedroom (making love)
I got up to wash my face
When I come back to bed
Someones taken my place

 

Ouch!  The poor guy!  Aw well still a fun song

 

Anyway, personally I don’t think Paul Simon could ever get old in my books, although this next one is getting old itself I guess, but I just love it!  Hence the title of this blog……

 

If you’ll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you Betty
And Betty when you call me
You can call me Al
Call me Al

 

When I was a little girl, I used to love listening to my Grandfather play the piano.  He was such a beautiful pianist.  Eventually he couldn’t play any longer, his hands became so crippled with Arthritis, then he would just enjoy the times his brother would play in his presence, he would raise his voice to the skies, singing along, and we would all clap when they were done.  But before, when he could still play,  I can remember sitting on the floor, just soaking up the music.  There was one song he would play, that even as a little girl made me a bit sad, but I loved it, and would sing along, in my little girl voice…………

Where are you going my little one, little one
Where are you going my baby my own
Turn around and you’re two, 
Turn around and you’re four
Turn around and you’re a young girl 
Going out of the door

Turn around (turn around)
Turn around (turn around)
Turn around and you’re a young girl 
Going out of the door

Where are you going my little one, little one
Pigtails and petticoats, where have you gone
Turn around and you’re tiny, 
Turn around and you’re grown
Turn around and you’re a young wife 
With babes of your own

No she is not moving out, no she is not getting married and no she is definately NOT having any babes of her own at this point in time.  But she’s my baby, and here in good ole Alberta Canada, this coming Friday, my baby will be legal age to paint the town RED………she’ll be 18, and all grown up, and this song came back to haunt me………

 

Makes me wish I was Benjamin Button……….

 

 

 

 

Frank, Sammy, Dean…..where are you???

Well it’s off to Vegas I go Baby!!!  I’m a bit frustrated, this annoying fear of flying is really making it difficult for me to get excited.  But when I push past those thoughts, and picture myself there with a great bunch of people, I do start to get all tingly!  Oh wait……..perhaps that’s that pinched nerve acting up again hehe.

 

I would have just LOVED to be back in the day when Frank, Sammy and Dean were headliners in the clubs.  Not only were they bluesy, which I absolutely love, they just seemed to love what they were doing.  OH sure, some might say they weren’t always the most upstanding citizens, but then again, either am I somedays, just gives them more real character in my books.  Or how bout that Marilyn Monroe, I totally could have handled sitting down with her for a good chinwag, she had charisma baby, just something about her, and I think she could have used a good friend of the same sex to have the odd chinwag with here and there.  James Dean, would have been fun to see if you could get that serious bad boy face turned into a smile now and then.  Or Elvis………well he’s Elvis……what can I say!  Guess I’ll have to settle for the wax museum, which I most definitely will be checking out.  Yea I’m kind of excited, it will be something like I’ve never seen before.  It’s a start right?  Next trip……….perhaps a cruise, or a nice white sandy tropical beach somewhere.  For now, I’ll settle for an innertube in the pool, and a tropical beverage in one hand.

 

Hope everyone had a fantastic Gobble Gobble Day!
