Seriously, that's all I want at this stage of my existence. I want to distance myself from drama and chaos and I don't want to be a factor of either. I could live alone in a room with windows, a fridge, TV, my Kindle, and a toilet! That sounds a lot like a nursing home room (sans the fridge.) I don't want a roommate! I prefer to smell my own excrement! I could live in my little cottage behind the house and be quite content. Of course, if I no longer know my name...or yours, I may need someone to randomly check on me, take out the garbage and replenish my supply of toilet paper. I'm hoping I'll be friendly when you pop in and not throw a can of Vienna sausages at you or shoot you with my Nerf gun. A real gun would be as useless as the letter "H" in yeah! I'm a horrible shot and even at short distances have been known to have squirrels on a feeder in stitches.
Until the time that this scenario becomes a reality, I am content reading, planning for the next holiday or birthday, watching mindless television and laughing with friends wherever we go. I enjoy my grandkids and I hope I contribute, even minutely, to their knowledge and well-being! I do enjoy my own schedule but generally, adapt to things changing... as long as it doesn't interrupt my football! On Sundays at noon...don't call or stop in...just plain don't do it! If you're having a party or gathering that you would enjoy me attending, do it on a Saturday. I'm flexible for college ball!
Soon it will be fall and my favorite time of the year will be upon us. Most folks like spring with all things being re-born....nope not me.. I'm the crotchety old lady that enjoys the crumpling leaves and the colors associated, welcomes the chillier weather and wraps her Christmas presents in September. I like the peace of kids back in school and the quiet of living at EIEIO. I really don't ask for much!

Overdue
Yep...way past my usual blogging hiatus. I seriously need to pen my thoughts but not sure the world wants to hear them. Not even my closest pals need to be depressed along with me and believe you me, you'd be depressed!
I read somewhere once where some animals eat their young. I get it!!!! When you have children, you virtually agree to give up your "way of life" for them. You especially do that when you sign a paper and agree to love, educate, instill goodness and kindness and protect them! I have always jockeyed around the ideas and ideals of nurture versus nature. Let me just explain that they both suck. I did my best at the nurture part as the nature part was predestined.... or so I thought. I have proof positive that you learn what you live BUT......................when you change environments, that can drastically change too. You're learning new stuff so you adapt to your surroundings and those within it! (Not always a good thing!)
I could write a book! In fact, I think I will begin to write some tales in the very near future. It won't be a bestseller or a how-to! It probably won't be a work of fiction because truly folks, you can't make this shit up! Stay tuned and I may possibly throw a few excerpts your way.... that is if I don't throw them all AWAY!
My journals alone, if not burned at my demise, will definitely leave my family (or friends) shaking their heads. I hope they love me now because I'm pretty sure they'll scorn me when I'm gone!
Stay tuned!
