Should I Call?

Ever have one of those days when you want to call someone (maybe Paul) to see if something good happened(like getting into nursing school) but you were afraid to ask the question in case the answer was no. Well he only made me suffer Friday and part of Saturday, but the man has been accepted.Now comes all the fun stuff like the TB test, background check, CPR certification. I'm so happy to see his plans falling into place.

The month of Looove

I know it's February and the month of love-the only song I can hear in my head is Tina Turner's "What's love gotta to do with it" over and over. Surely, you can turn me onto another love song.
Cute sappy story? Please tell.

Silver Streak

I couldn't help but notice that my mom hasn't dyed her hair is quite some time. I thought maybe she had just been to busy running the streets and taking care of business. You know Mom takes care of the church, her friends, inlaws, outlaws, and everyone else before she takes some time for herself. Then she sprung the news on me-after 38 years of dying her hair she's sick of it.Wait a minute, she can't have dyed her hair for 38 years she's not that old. Oops. Yes she is.Then I do some math and she's had four kids for over 38 years. Four kids will do that to you.It's not that it looks bad-in fact it's really pretty-very thick and wavy, but it makes her look a little bit more like a Grandma. I guess after nine grandkids(one temp) she's entitled to look like a Grandma. I think the funniest thing is the men. They won't leave her alone. She hasn't opened her own her own car door since she said good bye to Miss Clairol. Forget going to the gas station or hardware store unless you're not on any kind of time schedule.

Greetings

I'm blogging from Lauren's laptop. She created a guest user so I can play when she's away. That's nice and all, but I can't access her pictures.Bummer. They're making kids too smart these days.

New Year's Resolutions

Remember those? How are you doing? The weight thing is very slow, if I've lost I can't tell but my water intake is much, much better. The recipe thing-I tried "Hurry Up chocalate cake-pretty good. It has no eggs and rises a lot more than I thought it should.

Temperature in Little Rock

I've heard the temperature is 9 and then 2 below zero and then 6 so I don't really know exactly how cold it is. I know everything is iced. I can't write with a regular ink pen because the ink keeps freeszing. Coffee will stay warm for ten minutes maximum and I've drank enough of the stuff to be sick of it. My hands are constantly numb.I'm typing to keep my hands warm. Rumor has it that these cold temperatures will kill fire ants. Throw another log on the fire baby,and scoot over.

Update

Dwight is feeling much better.Would love to say that it's the result of my cooking and excellent nursing skills, but realistically-it's probably the result of some good medication and lots of proper rest. He's lost 26 pounds in the last two weeks(this is not the result of my cooking), but his appetite is slowly returning. He is starting to move around on his own and has started some small exercises to build strength in his legs. He goes to the doctor again on Monday.Wish him luck.
