Feeling Ugly?????

Gosh, lately……if it wasnt for irritability, grouchiness and mono-syllabic grunts, I would have no personality at all. Lack of sleep is making me one unhappy camper! It even makes you feel ugly! Che faccia brutta!

Sometimes, wouldnt you just like to close your eyes wave that magic wand and say “Abracadabra.” Now open your eyes and all your dreams come true! I guess I have been doing a lot of day dreaming lately. Certainly not night time dreaming! I don’t sleep long enough to dream.

I just seem to be bored with everything lately. Tired of the bar scenes, tired of the online dating sites…..you know the ones….. SWM looking for lovable, affectionate, fun-loving companion, who enjoys long walks on the beach and evenings curled up by the fire. (what? No five star restaurants??) LOL

And, my response would probably be………..MeetFido”.

TV is getting so boring…all the repeats, campaign crap, and all those damn info-mercials are driving me crazy! What happened to those great sitcoms…the good old days….when TV was considered entertainment.

South Florida………….during the summer TV is filled with so much hype over every tropical storm and potential hurricanes which you really cannot ignore because I’ve been through many of them and they were all terrible disasters! I miss New England and the different seasons (Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring) not just hot and hotter like down here! Yep, the weatherman is now tracking Hurricane Gustav and Hurricane Hanna. Here we go again!

Who doesnt love and miss I Love Lucy! LOL Those were the days when TV was entertainment.

Its getting dark out….time to pour myself a glass of wine. I have no clue what I’m going to have for dinner because I forgot to defrost something.

Wine doesnt go too well with Cheerios does it? LOL

Well, usually buying a new pair of shoes makes me happy......maybe I'll search for a sale tomorrow and get out of this mood and go out dancing for a change!

  1. Not sure if you have cable or satellite, but TVLand has reruns of I Love Lucy.  Also, we have bought some of the season DVD's to pop in when we need a laugh or a cheer-up :o)

  7. I have been a little slow myself lately. Maybe tomorrow will be the cure, Scarlett. I prefer a nice California Zifandel with my Cherrios.

  8. Sounds like your t.v. is as bad as ours has got.  Used to be spoiled for choice, now the t.v. goes off most nights at 8 p.m. after we have watched the soaps.

  12.     All my best wishes to you, Hanna and Gustav. Get the heck out of town if you have to. As much as I hate Chicago winters, I'd probably miss the changes to. Very entertaining entry.

    P.S.: In my journal you mentioned how you love to cook and how you don't use box and cans when making your sauces. I will use what I have to when I'm in a hurry. I say this though. There is nothing like your own sauce though. Nothing compares. And I love a good bolongenese (sp?) sauce. I lost the recipe I had. Didn't make it often enough to memorize it. When I did, it was well worth the time it took. I tried to make pasta, too. Now that wasn't worth the time. I couldn't taste enough of a difference to cancel out time with my kids.

  16. Hi Rose,

    Here is how I add pictures  hope it helps.

    on your journal where it says Add Album click on that....next a page will come up  You got pictures..should contain all your pictures  select the ones you want by ticking the small box by each one   in top corner it says select all or deselect all (depending how many you want)  I usually just want odd ones so tick by each one...at bottom right of this page you will see  Add pictures   click...that should take you back to your journal and the photographs should come through !!  I like to click Classic as that is how I think they look better.  Once you have managed all that it is fairly easy to edit them  ie put names etc.  but will leave that for another time.    Good Luck...Keep in touch.   Love  Sybil xx ( I tried sending this e mail but for some reason couldn't get it to go !!!)

  18. Maybe abracdabra is the wrong word.  Did you check that out?

    Have one for me, I can't afford the wine these days.  And if you have enough you won't mind the Cheerios.                   D
