Love or a reasonable facsimile

So the dinner between younger brother and Annie went well. No slap and tickle mind you, but that might be better in the long run. Could get awkward between me and Annie if they got intimate quickly and then it fell apart - but I could just be paranoid - after all he's 40 and she's 42 - it's not like they are teenagers any more. All went well though, dinner was cooked to perfection, they watched a movie that neither one had seen yet and they walked each others ears off. A perfect night, when all is said an done lol.

I've been crafting away like mad, trying to make some extra money cuz I've been broke broke broke. Things have been very tight for past few months and I don't see much relief in sight but I have been making moccasins and selling them so I've been bringing in a little extra money. I've been collecting old leather jackets, skirts etc and using them to make the slippers. I think I need to start selling them on eBay to really bring in some extra cash.

It was my grandma's birthday on Sunday - Happy 85th Grandma. I'm starting to worry about her a bit as she seems well...so fragile. She's been getting smaller and smaller as the years go by. When I was a teenager, she was 4'11 1/2 and she tells me that she is now about 4'9". I have to make a promise to myself to go and see her more often. I know it makes a bad granddaughter but she's getting a bit absent minded and I get sooooooo tired of hearing the same stories over and over and over. *sigh* Ah well, she's my grandma and I love her. I wish she and my mom would make up though, they still haven't spoken and it's been over a year now. Gad, my family can hold a grudge.

Did anyone else watch that nonce David Blaine "escape" from his little swimming pool? What a load of horse puckies THAT was. Geez, he didn't even escape from the chains - that is like walking and talking to magicians. Sorry if anyone else liked it, but I thought it was LAME and if I had rolled my eyes one more time, they might have stayed that way LOL To hear REAL magicians talk about this you should listen to Penn Jillette (of Penn and Teller fame) on his daily radio show on FreeFM - you can download his shows from www.pennradio.com.

i really wish david blaine had done his stunt in london - the sphere wouldn't have survived a day. and what made me really laugh was when blaine finally came out of that box (2 years ago ?) his moment of fame was taken away from him due to the prime minister having a heart attack.

To be perfectly frank, when it comes to David Blaine, I'd rather listen to Teller talking about him.

I think David Blaine is hot, but that stunt was so dumb, I rolled my eyes like crazy as I flipped channels past it.

Blaine's stunt was definitely on the bubble.

Rowan said...

ok, you gone again girl?

Phyllis said...

um..who's David Blaine?
Some day you will miss your Grandmother's stories. Visit her often. Take her for a ride, take her to lunch. Tell her you love her. Sorry your mom holds grudges. I used to until I realized it was MY problem and nobody else's. I find forgiveness and letting go of resentments (truly inside) is a better way of living.

Phyllis said...

Hmmmm,she must be lost!!
