New landscaping at the cemetery

Last Sunday I went to my Mom's (cemetery) and I had decided I needed to do a better job with the landscaping around her headstone. I worked on it for over 3 hours and I included my Gramma and Grampa in it. I am so pleased that it came out so nice so I am including a picture of it in this post.

It has been a little over 7 months since Mom passed away and I still miss her so much - it feels like it was just yesterday! I know she was getting tired and she was always in such pain with the Post Polio Syndrome. I know that she is running now and probably has taken over God's Throne! Mom was always the boss and I am sure that hasn't changed!

I hope she approves of the landscaping I did - I want her to be proud of me!

I love you Mom!

McCain & Palin 2008

I have never been into politics - up until this election but I am thrilled to death that John McCain has picked Sarah Palin as his VP! History in the making!

As for Jimmy Carter saying the most idiotic thing ever - that John McCain is milking the fact that he was a POW....how dare he say something that dumb! I think that Jimmy Carter should just go back to picking peanuts and leave us all alone! He dissed every member of the Armed Services and he deserves no respect from the American People for his stupidity!

August 20th

Because I must be honest I have to say I am back to smoking again. Geeze that didn't last long - I tried but my will power sucks and after one week I couldn't handle it anymore - I am such a weak person. I need a way to be able to quit and not go back to it......I am so sad and I feel like an idiot because of it. I have so much to live for and I know I am slowing killing myself! Someone please help me!

DAY 4

It has been 4 days since my very last cigarette! I quit without the use of patches, etc. I read the book I mentioned the other day and it really seemed to help. I do have cravings but they only last a minute or so...OK so I have millions of cravings but I am getting through! Its very strange to not smoke after 40 years of doing it.

I hope and pray I can continue to have the strength to stay away from these evil killers!!!!

Happy Friday

Its Friday - Thank Goodness! I am working from home again today. Monday my Dr put me on new BP medicine and yesterday my blood pressure dropped so low I felt like I would pass out. So, I won't be taking that again - back on the ones I was on before. I feel much better today but felt like just hanging out at home today. Also, I decided not to take the "Depression" med's anymore - not sure if those are making me feel worse. I just need to "get with it" and stop being such a baby. I'm still waiting for the Dr's office to call about my appt to get an Ultra Sound - they haven't called yet so I guess they don't think its very important! Anyway, I found a book on the internet by Allen Carr called "The easy way to stop smoking" the reviews are amazing so I ordered the book and will read it as soon as it comes in.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
